It is my goal and my strong desire that my art advance the human condition and society. Wether or not I am successful in doing so with my words is, however, not for me to decide. That is for others to discuss and debate.

I don't necessarily create art in the hopes that it brings feelings out in others. My art is inherently selfish. If I've created something, it's sot satisfy an urge or to help me think, not for the sake of others (unless it's a commission, of course). I may create art for friends on a whim, but my art is generally for myself.

That said, that doesn't necessarily bring out certain feelings in others. In fact, I'm thrilled when I hear someone's been touched or moved by anything I create, whether it be writing, drawing, etc. So, it's possible my art can help advance others, but I don't presume to say definitely if it does or doesn't. It's all subjective, depending on who's viewing what, after all.

I believe my work surprises people because I'm young and what I create it supposedly 'outstanding' compared to those of my age. I think it makes people happy and my family members proud in ways, but does touch people as much as I hope it would.

At current, my artwork serves no such purpose. Some people can feel the emotions in my work, but most of those drawings aren't positive ones. I will be telling a story through my artwork though, so to those who catch on it just might.

I'm just thrilled when someone smiles or feels the emotion of what I'm doing!

Not my art in particular, if you can call that art. But some brilliant people surely can use theirs to take us all a little further on.
