About ShadowRage
My last pic, just finished (Feb. 21, 2008).
This is Christopher, a character from the stories I'm writing with my friend Val.
At the same time, this picture is quite personal to me. The concept came to me without thinking, and it's what I'd call an "inner self portrait": the picture is what I feel/am in a certain moment/period.
In this case, the spirit of rebellion against what I hate, I fight, and appearently can't win. At the same time, a deep, almost melancholic need for love, a wish both for loving, protecting, cuddling, and for being loved, protected, cuddled. In a world that seems mostly indifferent, rather grey and empty, lonely.
This kind of work is quite therapeutic to me. It's like a way to take what feels bad inside me, and put it out: in this case, in graphite and paper. When it's out, I can observe it, understand it, and go on.
Last note: his pet is a rat. It came out pretty gigantic, I know. ^^;
Very last note [shameless self-advertising]: as soon as I'm done with a few pictures I owe to some people, I'll open commissions again... anyone interested? Tell me! ;)

I come here to find inspiration and offer what I have to offer. A mutual exchange, possibly.
