Have you ever done any art for day planners, calendars, novel covers, home decor brands, cd covers, etc...

The only reason I ask is I often go to this anarchist bookstore and picked up a day planner who's pages had some striking art pieces for each day of the week and your work reminds me of it....

And when you are drawing these pieces ... do you think of the concepts first or do they just create themselves while you draw them out...

I very rarely plan them, but when I do plan them they are usually based off of dreams. But they never go according to plan, so a large part of the process involves compensating for things that went wrong, or making "mistakes" look like "not mistakes"(lol). But the ones like the recent one I did never have a plan, the whole thing is done without a drop of alcohol(well maybe a glass of wine now and then) or weed. I am almost always sobre doing them. I study architecture so some people might see that influence in it. But I have taken a year out(which is what we are advised to do after third year) to have time with Band of Clouds and to do the exhibitions I have been offered, so when I come back to architecture, hopefully my mind will be orientated in a different and more architecturally conceptual way, which should help design some ****ing mad buildings

How interesting!! And I've been on your facebook page and wondering, do you ever create art that does not have a dark undertone? Well I can only perceive it as dark maybe you don't intend it to be Or is that just your style?

Haha, I'm glad you said that because in many cases, I am not a dark thinking person at all, but yea looking at the stuff I have done, I can see what you mean. I think the art is a way of getting the dark thoughts out of my head. I have only been doing art for about 2 years so I am ignorant to a lot of techniques that I should or shouldn't be doing, because I have never been taught. I think a lot about stuff, so I guess sometimes it comes across in the art whether I intend it to, or not.

That explains it, maybe your dark thoughts are removed by their manifestation as art... so you don't realize that you are dark as ****... :p

No but really your art scares me in a good way I can't get some of the faces out of my head... and I think its not just the techniques..your color choices and the depiction of sombre faces...

Edit:
e.g.
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=3&theater

Also..who is that? I've seen that face at an ethiopian restaurant I frequent..

Here's a self portrait that I drew. I'm not very good at drawing, so I decided to change that by practicing. So enjoy my attempt at being somewhat abstract.
