Black is usually my favorite color. Some days it’s red. My favorite combination is always the two.

They have always been my favorite colors. I remember, because it seemed like every single teacher I had in grade school had to know what all of our favorite colors were.

Red is a color of power, passion, anger, desire. Black is a color of elegance, mystery, the obscure or occult.

I think these colors go together nicely.

Ever since I was young, I’ve been attracted to the darker side of culture. Batman was my favorite superhero. My favorite movie was Godzilla. On Halloween (my favorite holiday,) I always wanted to be the baddest, foulest, scariest ghoul on the street.

As I get older, my tastes become more refined. My favorite films are now The Godfather, Fight Club, Black Swan, and The Shining. In fact, I saw the The Shining for the first time when I was around 12 years old. It scared me so badly, I wouldn’t go into a hotel for a year.

I think it’s important to be afraid. I think it’s important to take a walk on the dark side.

I am, and always have been, a very positive and happy individual. I’m very physically affectionate, and I love having deep conversations. However, I also believe in balance. Too much happiness is fake.

You have to be willing to explore your darker nature in order to be truly honest with yourself. And I guess I became seduced with the dark side at a young age.

I think its fun. I love mystery, secrets, suspense and thrills. My favorite works of art are all uniquely dark. I love the night.

Night time, darkness… This is when the creatures come out. This is when magic happens. This is the time for lovers. Darkness gives a license to explore the more fantastical aspects of the mind and soul.

As my creative skills mature, I strive to one day make people feel the way my favorite artists make me feel.

Seduced, mystified, in love.

 

I can’t focus with so much swimming in my head.

I often bite off more than I can chew, and I take on too many projects at once. As a result, I overextend myself, get stressed out, and then the work I make is not my best.

I have one thing to work on right now.

Single-pointedness of mind. Focusing on one thing. Making it the center of your creative energy, your thoughts. Spending your time on one project that it may be fulfilled in the best way possible. Seeking out all the different pathways, odds and ends, ways the project could be improved, changed, made closer to the vision.

When I have too much to do, everything turns into an assignment, a chore, a task.

When I focus on one thing, it becomes my passion.
