With a camera in my hands;
I love photography, and I always have. I strive to capture that "moment" and keep it forever.
And a pen behind my ear;
I'm a writer, focusing on short stories and poetry; I love to convey emotion with words.
A laptop in my bag;
I do a lot of experimentation with digital art and other technology. I like to learn new things.
And imagination in my heart.
Artistic expression comes to me like breathing. I couldn't live without it.



Random Favourites

My Favourites

Art means a lot more to me than people think.

It's that reminder that there's something more. Something worth living for.
Something worth dreaming about.


There's only us.
There's only this.
Forget, regret.
Or life is yours to miss.

No other path.
No other way.
No day like today.

I see myself in him.


“He’s lonely, just another dreamer-boy with his head in the clouds.
For a boy who would never be loved, he had so much love in him.”



and in the world.

Welcome to my life.

I'm a deviant.

The literature community —

— I feel like this requires a bit of explanation. I mean, if you look in my gallery, you'll see a lot of literature deviations. But honestly, I don't consider myself a writer. I write here and there to express emotions, to play around with words and let my imagination run free, but it's not a huge part of my life.

So why is it such a huge part of my deviantART experience? Simply put, I love the literature community. It's a relatively small community, but exceptionally tight-knit and supportive. So despite producing photography, digital art, stamps and bits of coding, I feel like the literature community is where I belong.



:iconthewrittenrevolution:
I founded and continue to lead #theWrittenRevolution, the largest and most active literature group on deviantART.

:icondailylitdeviations:
Back in the day, I was a DLD prose admin. I've always thought that =DailyLitDeviations provides a unique and valuable way to support talented writers.



My life is in constant chaos. So most of my limited time on deviantART gets spent on #theWrittenRevolution.
:shrug: I do my best to keep up with everything, but it's hard.

Other stuff —

— these a couple of other aspects of what I do here on deviantART.

:iconlefthandedartists:
Although I'm not really involved with it anymore, I co-founded #LeftHandedArtists, an art group for all deviants who are proud lefties.

:icondevbug:
I'm an alpha tester for #devBUG, which means I get to test/debug ultra-new features.

You might notice that a lot of this summary is in the past tense. I guess I'm not as involved in deviantART as I used to be. Don't get me wrong, I don't plan on leaving deviantART anytime soon – I love being able to share my artwork and make new friends through this wonderful website, and I work harder on #theWrittenRevolution than you can imagine – but in order to balance all of the wonderful parts of my life, I spend less time hooked into the deviant world than I used to.

:heart: Thanks for reading.

If you ask me, art is about a whole lot more than dropping into a gallery every now and then or downloading retro desktop wallpapers for your laptop. It’s about falling in love and falling apart. Creating and believing. It’s about your heart beating in your chest and maybe your eyes getting a little wet.

I love it all. Vintage photography and lomo editing. Typography. Classic literature. Philharmonic orchestra. Ballet and breakdancing. Graffiti. Watercolour and oil painting.

I don’t really think of myself as an artist. Just another human being a little lost in the world.

Worldwide art project

Journal Entry: Thu Mar 15, 2012, 8:45 PM
Hello artists, dreamers and anybody out there who likes to make the world a bit more of a beautiful place.

I invite you all to be part of an art project that is going to take place across the world this summer. That's right, the entire world – and you can join.


The project is called, at the moment, Elementary Occupations, and is being run by Professor Douglass St. Christian of the Department of Anthropology of the University of Western Ontario. In broad outline, on the day of the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere – June 20 – at 7:09 PM EDT, he is looking for volunteers to place a poster, wherever they are, and then take a photograph of the poster in place and email or upload the photograph.

The photo will then be a part of a conceptual piece that is to be included in the Gallery 96 Current Sea/Currency show later this month in Stratford, Ontario.


All that would be required of you is either downloading and printing the poster (standard 8x11 in black and white) or giving him your mailing address and Professor St. Christian will send you a copy – then on June 20, posting is somewhere and photographing at exactly 7:09 PM EDT, and then sending him the photo.


If you are interested in taking part of this worldwide art project, please :+fav: this journal. I will follow up with you and collect/pass on contact information to Professor St. Christian.

Also, please pass this art project on to anyone you know that is interested! The bigger the better. :glomp:

I have a ridiculously busy life beyond deviantART, so I'm constantly far behind on the comments/replies in my message box.
