Disturbing Abstract

Description

     Hard to describe how this one came about; I started by just trying to sketch what I normally do but with my eyes closed, then I opened them; and kept on drawing; but it was different. I just stopped caring about whether or not I wanted the picture to look good; I just wanted to have it finally squeeze some emotion out of it for once. Frankly the only thing on my mind was "Make this visually loud as shit. Just try and fill every last piece with something to think about. Who cares what it looks like." 

   From this I doubt I'll look at my art the same way as I have ever again, really. For how scary it got; it was really a liberating experience for me, for a few minutes my inner critic was just bound and gagged; and I was free to do whatever the hell I pleased. It was fun as hell, frankly :D

 To those of you who might think I'm crazy or depressed for making a piece like this; I respect your concern, but I'm actually a happy and mellow ass dude. But the thing is
I just wanna make things that actually make people feel something and think is all; that's always been my mantra. I'm just not the type of guy to make something only for it to be pretty to look at enough for you to hang it on a bathroom wall; that's just not my style. No quarrels with people who do want to do that; all the power to you, but it's just not my thing. 

I'll definitely say that the music I was listening to prolly was what made it turn out the way it is; with the whole fact I was listening to some pretty crazy sounding punk rock an' all that. Anyhow, I hope all of you have had a fantastic day going for you so far; and don't feel afraid to let me know what ye' think in the comments.

Oh, and please watch and favorite! All the amazing reassurance all you fantastic people give me every time I post here is pretty much the only reason I'm still even on this site or drawing at all frankly. If all of you are feeling adventurous; feel free to check out my music too, a few friends of mine said my songs kinda have a 60's freak folk vibe to them, so if you're into that be sure to check my songs out :D soundcloud.com/owenlarkin
