Too much pressure. EVERYONE wanted a peice of me. I would literally be working 18 hours a day on artwork...and I was better than my professors / teachers and they would try to make me conform to their way of thinking / painting etc.
I drew that one for my father in law and made a copy for myself to keep (gave him the original), and I explained to the person by the copy machine that I don't do it for others, just for myself (minus gifts). Told her the entire story of how bad everyone insisted I draw for them for free and family members that insisted I do something for them, and as soon as I was done telling the story (no joke) she asked me to draw something for her.

I had my paintings displayed in Boston in 93. My mother has them all over her house now. I won a national award for one. I cut out siluoettes of buildings and pasted them on to a canvas, jesso'd the entire thing, took oil painted and rustic colors and lightly painted them, then took turpentine and let the paint run and made it look all old. It got RAVE reviews.

My favorite painting was one of the earth but it was a puzzle and pieces were falling off exposing the background of technology (like in the Lawnmower man).

So which drawing was your favorite SS?
