Josephine,
no problem, I love looking at your Art, it is pretty much the exact opposite of mine, life affirming, celebratory, positive, bold use of colour.........
everything my art isn't......

Thanks to you, means a lot to me ! But your art is amazing and you are following a concept, kind of. That’s what I like about your Gallery, mine is just a mess of everything! Haha

Thanks, 'interesting' is good, 'nice' would be the opposite
so many thanks again............

well each person has to take what they want from a piece of work, 
I just create the work, I don't concern myself with concepts, if i think something will work visually and it interests me then that is good enough for me.  If I start worrying about the 'idea' or 'the audience' then I don't get any pleasure out of doing it and I might as well be at work............

understandably. it might look a bit weird but the concept is interesting and unique. at least to me. It feels fresh and new.

Melissa, 
I checked out your work, really powerful stuff, great range of approaches,
makes mine look a bit 'autistic'
which now I mention it............
anyway I'd love to share thoughts on skulls, anatomy, art.......at the end of the day it is pretty much all I exist for and that isn't a glib comment, it really is ALL I exist for.......

Well now that you mention it... I'll tell you my interpretation of "Autistic in art". Art which tends to have a monologue or focus on one subject, obsessive details and very sensitive topics, yes, that's definitely my thing. I'm not autistic haha but I have other sorts of "mental" disorders which cope with similar feelings like isolation, obsession and anxiety in certain environments. Anyway! that's something that we both have in common: Exist for art. I do too. I don't care to be famous or making money off it. I just want to spend all my day-long drawing, I'm pretty sure you understand.

totally Mellisa, but it is hard to explain to people who do not appreciate what it is to create something.  Fame is something that never really appealed to me, I am not a 'people' person and the thought of having to be pleasant and feign interest in the ordinary minutia of everyday life makes parts of my skin crawl. This may also be linked to my rather glib comment about my art being 'autistic' as it turns out I have recently being diagnosed as having Aspergers Syndrome, which probably goes a long way to explaining my approach to Art / my life long inability to fit in / my constant refusal to do what I am told and all the other quirks and fractures in my shell of personality. 
I used to joke that Art was the only thing that kept me alive, my only reason for 'being' then my life circumstances changed and I realised that it wasn't a joke, above everything else I only want to create and the hollow feeling that pervades if I don't is not imaginary, it is a tangible essence that will not be sated and does not recede..........
try explaining that to someone who thinks that the most important thing in life is 22 men kicking a ball up and down a field.............must try HARDER to fit in............
