# About me
Welcome all to the inside of my brain.I myself am a fellow of approximately 20 years in Australia.
I am an art student, a musician, a poet and a keen learner.
Everything I do creatively is about learning and expression. These are the two driving forces which shape my approach. They are my Anima and Animus.
I am interested in a variety of mediums and approaches and often produce my best work while experimenting wildly.
I have a profound love of poetry and literature as well, which deeply affects my work and often makes it seem overly serious. I assure you, very little of it is serious.
I am very into Symbols, as explored all the way through my interest in prehistoric art, to Tribalism, to my general interest in the archetypes of religion and the occult.
I love art, I love what I do, because it challenges me on ever part of my being and as good ol' Kierkegaard says, believing in something means constant questioning and heartache.
This is the life I lead and this is the art I make.
Feel free to drop a word in edgewise.
Personal Quote: My Soul, Do Not Seek Eternal Life, But Exhaust the Realm of the Possible. - Pindar

You have a varied style, which is good and bad. You should master one thing maybe. I think your drawings need alot of practice, but your photomanipulations are cool. Thanks for posting on ma thread.

You've got some really interesting ideas especially for photography! The compositions are unique and intriguing. The photos say a lot. As for the paintings, I think they're a bit rough and need some more work.

I am sorry but you did not get featured, there was some good competition this time around and if you would like to see the winners you can find them at these links. I do these features about once a week to once every two weeks, so keep your eyes open for next time and try again.
