First "real" creative urges...

Ok, so I've always loved art, even as a kid. But I never really took it too serious until I started living with my sister who is a very creative spirit as well. She influenced me and I found my creative spirit. I also found what inspires me most when working on art: anything moody, like moody music, and moody weather. I remember when I played piano, it was always the minor keys that I was drawn to, the sad sounding pieces. I quickly learned that when I was in those moods that I was my most artistic, perhaps that is why I was drawn to the gothic lifestyle for a while, it fueled my artsy side. Any way, I thought I would show you the art that I created when I figured out what inspired me most when I was living with my sister.

The art below was created in 1999.
