The Dark I Know Well

I'm not usually a dark person, and my art isn't usually particularly dark but I've been in a crummy mood lately. I actually like this piece a lot. It reminds me of Obey propaganda by Shepard Fairey, an artist who inspires me, although doesn't often influence my work. I would love to see people wearing this on shirts, but then again, I want to see all of my art on t-shirts. I think the saying around the edge reflects something I have learned very well: Self-restraint breeds power. By being able to restrain ourselves from unnecessary waste and spending, we become more powerful. Maybe that could be misconstrued as something dark or fascist or communist or something, but it fit the picture. Don't tell anyone, but I made this completely during a 4-hour shift at work. :P

I don't know if you'll be able to see the above piece very well, but it's one that's newly been added to my college-bound portfolio. It's a 16" x 20" poster with instructions on how to construct the embedded Dante's Inferno möbius strip. It's meant to be viewed in huge detail because it's a vastly huge Photoshop file, but this will have to suffice I guess. Feel free to print and construct the möbius strip for yourself, but by the love of god do not reproduce my artwork for money. I have marked it with my urine and will know if you steal it! D:< Anyway, that's that for dark depressing art lately. 

I hate being angsty. I'm too angsty lately and it's making me feel like every other teenager/Twilight-obsessed teeny-bopper. I want out. I want sunshine and friendship and ice creams and love and bacon-flavored-toothpicks. Myeehhh...

I'll go watch something pointless and humorous to make me smile. :B
