ha wow man, thanks for all the comments, i surly hope that starbucks isn't the peak of my career, but itd be nice all the same. i still havn't been able to create anything worthy of being sort of my signature piece, hopefully thats many years away. I think going to an art school has really been letting me persue what i ve always wanted to paint. It funny i was working on a sketch in my art history class, and i realized that i think what i am really looking for in art, stems from impressionable memories of things i saw and thought about as a kid. I think that everyone in someway is molded by their childhood, art is a nice way to create what you found so interesting when you were young and nothing had boundaries. For example, not to long ago for some reason or other, i randomly remembered this book that i had whan i was little. i forgot all about it until thatm moment. It was a book that had several short stories, and it was really dark, and had an almost french 19th century look to it. And when i remembered it, i realized that all this art i do revolves around memories of this book. I wish i could find it, the memories are really vague and i think that because it was so vague i could never erally recreate it as i saw it as a kid (you see things differenty as a kid, things seem much more mysterious and interesting).
damn i worte a god damn book, lol. i get carried away sometimes, forgot what i was originally saying. well anyway thanks for the comments.

hehe, i enjoy long comments... it is the only way art is really discussed and appreciated...
Yeah, i know exactly what you mean... i had very distinct concepts of the world as early as 5 years old... there was one summer when my kite got lost in the wind and i had nothing to do but lie down on a worn sofa put in the garage and i just lied on the sofa under a 3 p.m. summer sun staring at the sky. It was the bluest sky i've ever seen in my entire life and i was at peace with everything under that afternoon sun. I was only 9 years old then.
I got my first book when i was 7. It was called "The Travelling Seagull". It was damn difficult to read but from then onwards, the seagul was, for me, the king of the sky, the God of the eagles, the albatros's best friend, and was constantly afraid that somewhere in the ocean, a sperm whale was being mangled by a giant squid.
These are things i still vividly remember up to date, and somehow the world around me is anchored on those memories.
I think what distinguishes artists is that they develop this sensibility of the world around them through stimuli so ordinary to other people... a book, a summer sky, the smell of December...
Have you read Edgar Alan Poe's "Alone?"... i first read that poem when i was twelve... it makes sense.

hmm, i ve never read it, ill have to check it out.
i seems like you know what i mean about childhood memories becoming crucial to finding what you want in art. good to hear, i think few eally figure that out.

ea i am trying to see where i can go with that, i figured out that i just need to do it a lot to get used to making clean edges. i am getting better ithink, i wanna start doing more intricate things with it, while keeping it transparent, like doing a city with all the buildings, id love to just keep layering shapes until it looks beautifully complicated
thanks for the comment
