Description
Nine hundred and twenty six days ago I posted MUTE in my gallery. At that time I felt I had exposed as much of myself as I could afford. I had already started losing digital friends. Those that stayed around were getting sick of my whining. People didn't want to be exposed to real life. People came to the galleries to be exposed to binary skin. I reached a point. I could no longer effectively alleviate my pain through art.
I had become MUTE.
Under direction of a well meaning instructor, I was asked to try and do more traditional art. Less violence. Less pain. Less suffering. I tried. I really tried. I failed.
The more I try to fit in with the norm, the more I fall apart. Everywhere around me is coated in white. I don't know if spring will ever come. I sit with my pad trying to keep quiet about things no one wants to hear about, trying to draw pretty things. Hopeful things. Warm and fuzzy things.
But I can't.
So I stay MUTE...

there is no need to apologize for pain and suffering, situations from the other side of life. the things you speak about in your work are important, essentials of life, truth. you are one of the best here yo and i 'enjoy' your work very much, so please dont forget to do something good for you, now and then, take care!

this image is so powerful. the face is so expressive, the eyes pierce right through me. and the layout it so effective, brings tears to my eyes. i am speachless. i really don't think you know how talented you are. and as for what other poeple want to hear or see - try not to pay attention to them, ok? you draw from the guts, and that it a true gift. i always feel when i view your art that it comes from within you, there's nothing fake or whiney about it.

light can't be without shadows and shadows can't be without light... there's no 'have to be nice' neither a 'have to be bad' how about a good mixture... less forced but externals - more forced by you... a lot happens in life... some mirrors getbroken - but every sherd still reflects light... ~christian

Well this is the only comment I havnt commented on yet and I just realized that you made a reply directly to me in "If you throw enough S#IT at a wall..." and now here is my reply. Sorry it is delayed :-P About the getting groupies for your art work, and maybe marking your images with "Nudity" you couldn't have expressed what frustrations I am feeling towards this gallery right now. I love rendersity and Ive been faithfully posting my images here for years, but it seems over the years this has become less about art and more about the pleasure factor that everyone is looking for. You can take an amazing shot of a flower and get three comments, but all you have to do is take a picture phone shot of your nipple and you're good. I a wondering if the renderosity team will take this comment down? I hope you read it first if they do. As to this posting here, I think you are an amazing artist. Ill be your first groupie. Ive seen enough pretty pictures [this reminds me, you should read this http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pretty/ I think you might like it] and now I am ready for some real images. Thats why youre one of my favourite artists. Your photography shows the realistic point of life, not the picture perfect edited version that most artists like to portray. Dont let anyone tell you to change your work. It isnt worth it. Plus you'd be dissapointing your first groupie. This is the longest comment I have ever wrote. xx

you say thay you feel that everything around you is white. and then you say that it doesnt make you wanna express yourself in a happy way, you say that trying to keep quiet... i dont know if you knew this, but when people try and explain their feelings as if they were in a white space, that usually means how they see death, or see themselves dying.. i guess you like most other people, dont see death as anything exciting, you dont think it will release you from anything, your afraid of the quiet that is implied with dying, therefore its right that you want yo express yourself, and please, dont keep quiet..
