The Figure
The human figure is a constant source of inspiration for me. Although we all have the same basic structure as every other person in the world, we see each difference so vividly and can identify without a doubt, from one person to the next.
Here is a collection showcasing shape and the human body from various artists.

Wise Words
From Buddhism...
“To the weak, difficulty is a closed door. To the strong, however, it is a door waiting to be opened.”
"Those who lack courage run away from hardship, seeking only to live a life of ease and comfort. Thus one who lacks courage cannot help others."
"Life is painful. It has thorns, like the stem of a rose. Culture and art are the roses that bloom on the stem. The flower is yourself, your humanity. Art is the liberation of the humanity inside yourself."
"How aware are we of our own inner life, our spirituality—something so intangible yet so priceless? How much effort do we make to perceive that which is not obvious, which can neither be seen nor heard? I believe the exploration and enrichment of the human spirit is what determines our very humanity."
"Strength of character lies in performing the drama of life with courage and confidence, practicing self-reflection and self-control under any circumstances."
"the deed develops into habit and the habit hardens into character..."

...A series I'm working on. Lovely real-life models turned into bad ass pinup-esque illustrations. This one likes guns...

PERSONAL WORK | Time
Time may be decay of particles, but a paradox it is; life would not exist without the passing of time.
These illustrations were created in photoshop.
