Hello my name is Joseph and I am an addict.
well... I have come to the conclusion that I am obsessed with making art. I love to paint, make stencils, sculpt, draw and whatever the fuck else I get my hands on.
If I am not working on a piece than I am thinking about what I will do next when I am working as if I am trying to get a fix. I am withdrawing instead of injecting but I can't wait to score some new materials so I can work on that next piece. It is an added bonus that I also love to look at what I finish making so the whole thing is so very intoxicating.
The way my work responds to 3d glasses makes me feel as if I am on mescaline, the only way to fly.
I have relocated to the state of Illinois and have not reconnected with any of my old friends...yet.
So while I am looking for work and spending more time alone or with family than what I should be, all I do is think about art or work on it.
I am working on a piece right now for a show in MPLS called Gods & Monsters III: The Resurrection.
I am working in a medium I have never worked with before and so far it is turning out... such a thrill.
It is that thrill of creation that inspires me so, don't get me wrong I also love destruction. In fact I have caused quite a bit of destruction in my wake and that is why this feels so good...getting in balance. Of course sometimes I destroy in my creation when I go out with a spray can and a stencil.
So here has come my confession and acceptance that I am obsessed, I am addicted. I am outsider from the "normal" vibe of structure and order in society.
In other news I like the new Puscifer album The Conditions of My Parole, an unexpected sound in so many ways and I like that the most right now. I also like how mature and immature it is in the right balance to trick you into believing you are going on a transforming journey only to find you have been in nothing more than a carnival fun house. In short don't be too serious just sit back and enjoy the ride.
I can't wait to get some new tattoo work done next week on my leg. I am getting my Subhumans skull touched up and then the Black flag bars and Einsturzende Neubauten's Symbol on the opposite side of the leg. I call this leg my band dedication wing. After these are done I want to get Nick cave's Henry's Dream cover tat'ed on my Thigh.
I also want something from the Descendants, Nine Inch Nails, White Zombie, Skinny Puppy, Tool, Slayer, and Cat Stevens. My body will look as if it is on fire when I am done for most the rest of my tats will be like my left arm. The only thing I won't Tat on is my right am because I create art with that arm.
Well you have learned some new things about me today if you have made it this far, I am an art making addict that clearly has no girlfriend and no life. I like music and I also like tattoos but above all that I am 100% crazy.
Also I am working on my website if you want to look at what I am doing so far
