The Crippling Artist

Bound by the limitations of a semi-functional and abstract carcass is the main focus of my work. Communication of the nervous system is often misread by corroded myelin causing malfunctioning extremities. Not being able to draw a straight line adds certain fundamentals such as child-like vulnerability, perception of simplicity, uncontrolled rage and spontaneous accidents. A self analysis of my work depicts a combination of art therapy, rediscovery, rebirth and stubborn determination. I'm a 33 year old artist who wants to make cartoons. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2008. I am currently attending college and this is a recording of my growth as an artist.

Here is the third run of my Instagram video... (at Clackamas, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/oicu8lsd/p/Bw3pwPYB24_/?igshid=1059t691zujq1

This video is a catalog of all the art I have posted in the last few years. I began with a slideshow, then projected it on my 4k television while recording it with an old Sony handicam. I then took that footage and synced it with the original slideshow, now I'm sharing that video only to record this with the Sony handicam to complete the process... stay tuned....
