Ok, I need to get some things off my chest. I am an ARTIST. I do my art for ME. Not you, not for anyone. I am not here to impress, not here to please, not here to prove anything to anyone. I have an inner need to create beauty. To fulfill this need, I take pretty photos and then carefully edit each one, bringing out all the emotion and feeling I can with my techniques. This is what satisfies me. This is how I fulfill my need. My art is VERY special to me. I am VERY proud of it. It is very personal.

Now, with that being said.......I share my work in the hopes of MAYBE, just maybe...someone might see what I am trying to express. Maybe they will feel the emotions I have tried to draw out. Maybe my work might bring a bit of beauty into someone's day. Maybe someone will understand.

I realize that these days Google+ is more and more becoming a rampant cesspool of deviants trolling for free porn. This saddens me. I find such beauty and grace in the female form. I try to show in a way that brings out the sensual innocence of it's beauty. I realize this gets lost on 90% of the people who view my art. For every genuine comment of understanding and appreciation for what I am presenting, I get 20 "nice ass" or "hey you are hot" comments. But it is that ONE person that makes sharing my work worth it. As I said before, I do my art for me. But if I can find one person that understands my art, see what I am doing, feels what I feel............then I am blessed. That is all an artist can hope for: Someone who "gets" it, someone who shares their passion.

I live by the motto "if you can't bring happiness then be silent, at least do no harm".

Art is very personal thing.

Art is something different for each person. Who am I to criticize anyone. Who are you to criticize me? I am a true artist working from an inner need to create. If you do not like my art, then go away. If you do not think my work is art, then you are an idiot. If you think my techniques are boring, then move along. But do not come onto my page and tell me these things. It is not only rude but totally insensitive.

I am always open to critique. I am ever evolving. I am always looking for new ideas, hints, tips, suggestions.....but there is a right way and a very wrong way to go about doing this.

I am a VERY passionate person. Which means I also have a quick temper. Being an insensitive fucktard is only gonna get you blocked. I am a very happy and energetic person by nature. This is reflected in my art. I do not need anyone trying to rain on my parade. Be respectful to me and all the other artists on this site who take the time to share their creations with you. You do not know their aim or what they are trying to express.

Finally.....I would appreciate if people would refrain from making comments on the physical attributes of my models or myself. Yes, we are ALL pretty. Yes we ALL have nice boobs and butts.

But that is not what my art is about.

My art is about my edits, the emotions, the feelings you get when viewing it. Yes, my art is arousing but you can be mature about the comments you make. I do have many great supporters on Google+ and I do appreciate every one. If this rant does not apply to you then please ignore it.
