Self-portrait

I'm an artist.
Moody. Fickle. Excited. Holla! Jealous. Infatuated.  My imagination baffles me. Sunny. Animated. Weird. Talkative. Mute. Caring. Distant. Loving. Brave. Nervous. Flirty. Oh hey boo! Nice. Ballsy.
 I'm in touch with my emotions and feelings yet I can't seem to always extend them out to some.
I still feel naive at my age- 30.  The following self-portrait was taken after a long day at work and carrying around too many questions. I must express what's simmering inside. I'm an artist - expression at 5'2".

Folder Art

I like saving discarded pieces of cardboard, envelopes and scraps of paper because I hate the thought of it just being thrown away. Yes, you can recycle it but why not make some art on it and share with your peeps. I was going through my portfolio looking for inspiration for my next painting and I found a plain file folder. I did not have much in it but I decided to whip out my sharpie and colored pencils and go to town. I did not have anything planned, but I was watching Code Monkeys on Netflix. I can't stop watching it and before I knew it my idea was evolving slowly. Here's the work in progress...

I'm not really sure what this is but it still needs color. It never ceases to amaze me, but I am my most creative between 10pm-3am. The world is asleep and I'm in my room drawing away and letting my imagination run buck wild! owww!
