TB8S

I was born with a silver spoon. I grew up well off, but naive. I went to college and got culture shock, went wild. I fell in love, and lost my mind, and filled my soul with chemicals and became fiction. Now I make art and music to feed my head, but most of all so others can expand their own thoughts and lives. I live by patterns. I am completely self taught in art. I always sketched and doodled growing up, but it never became my life passion until I went through some rough patches in life. I began by drawing in moleskin journals juxtaposed alongside poetry and journal entries. This was therapeutic for me. Sometime later I would frequent the bars around Murfreesboro or at house shows and sketch as a live artist eventually beginning painting in a live setting. I never got paid or even asked to do it, rather I enjoyed seeing people\'s reactions to what I was doing. Eventually enough people told me I should pursue it as a career that I decided to take it seriously. Unfortunately this would not surface until a year long hiatus of writer\'s block. After being diagnosed with Bipolar disorder and dealing with an extended depression I began to make art again, but this time seriously. I would study geometry, anatomy, philosophy and other topics to improve my craft. Now I have a vision for my art that I intend to share.
