I have more followers on the blog now. Surpassed my Instagram followers. Thank you! Reached over 6,000 followers about a week ago. Never got a milestone achievement, telling me that I reached this amount of followers. At the moment I’m at 6,069 Close to 6,100. The analytics keeps improving, slowly but surely. That’s all that matters. Each little step counts as much as the last step. Or you wouldn’t be where you’re right “now.” I’d like to thank everyone out there who has followed this account. Every view, share, like and follow. It all means a lot to me in the end. It shows the support and love of the artist. All 1,000+ new followers, thank you! I appreciate the love and support of my art/words. With this growth of the audience, you learn new things about yourself that you never knew existed. We are all each other’s teacher at the end of the day. We all have something to learn from each other. I appreciate the growth everyone has let me achieve. I wouldn’t be here without all of you. Literally, I’m making a post for 6,000+ followers. All of you did this for me thank you! It’s not about the numbers at the end of the day, but it’s interesting and helps me out a lot in a way. Without all the comments, likes and feedback on my art I wouldn’t be where I am today. Each individual makes a difference in my life. Every person is the same to me. I don’t favor one person more than another. Thank you for 6,000 followers, I appreciate everyone for joining me on my artistic journey. I’m going to add another section/tab to my blog soon. I said as soon as I hit 6,000 I would do this. I am thinking around 7,000 followers I might have the section started.....

Stop using the words "I" and "want." If done correctly. The past and future will be nowhere to be found. Only the "now" will be in sight. Mental health is a reflection of physical health. Physical health is a reflection of mental health. Many times people ask me how and why I create art. I'd like for someone to answer that question for me. Ever since I was a child, I've been attracted towards colors and art. But I have no answer to why this has happened to me. I didn't purposely try making all of this art as well as the writings. It just all kinda happened and fell into place. Accidentally on purpose, you can say, hahahahaha. I didn't ask the universe to be an "artist" that just kinda happened by itself. I remember living in the past with much negativity and with a negative outlook on life. Ever since I decided to look at life on the bright side. Life itself has been greater than ever. If you ask me one more time. "What are you doing and why are you doing this." I would ask the same question as you asked me. Why are you the you that is you? If you hide the real you within yourself. So be it. Fear everything or come to the realization that life itself is beautiful. Is this you really the you that you think you are? Or is this life, nothing but a false thought of who you are. Your thoughts become your reality in one way or another. You either give up on this life. Life itself doesn't give up on you. Use nothing but the power of love. All we have to do is spread infinite amounts of love. With love, everything in the world can be cured. Man's ego overrides himself. To a path of life which isn't the wisest. Living in short pleasure after pleasure after pleasure. Manifesting this life into a slow, long decaying...

Life is beautiful. There are so many beautiful things in this life. As young as I am, I think slowly I’m figuring everything out. When people ask me what gifts I want, I don’t have any answers. I think and think, the only thing I need to be happy is life. People complain about the simplest things and don’t even realize how important life is. Imagine if there was nothingness and the "universe" was nothing but pure darkness. It would have been easier for the universe to have ignored creating this beautiful place, then to create what has already happened. What makes you happy in this life? It is different for us all. There is no one "answer" but many different "answers." What you decide for that "answer" to be is up to you. Saying there is only one answer would be similar to saying there is only one map of life and that is the only path to follow. I don't agree with that at all. All of us can not live the same life. Numbers are scary. They don't really exist. It is not like you can go find a number in the wilderness. It is just a created man-made idea. So we go along with this idea of a thought of what a number is. Numbers are worthless in their actual physical form. I recommend you resist chasing after numbers for happiness. Numbers never begin and they never end. Instead, chase after love and use love with every action and intention you put into this world. With love, happiness will start to transcend into your life. At random moments you will have love chasing after you. Remember to love yourself before anyone else. Love yourself in and out. Physically and mentally. If you love yourself, you understand enough to love others. To love yourself is to love all with an abundance of love and...

lately, I have been posting less. This isn't intentional. Life has been quite busy the past few weeks. More like a few months. I'm actually moving so I have been hanging out with family and friends before I move. Want to interact with everyone while I have the chance. As well as packing all of my belongings away. Because of the move and all the extra added on energy I have been arting a little less. I haven't been all isolated and left alone for a while. Instead out and about interacting with people, hahahahaha. It is fun to leave the art dungeon here and there, hahahahaha. Throughout the years of creating art. During certain parts of the year, you create more than others. I kinda wish I could have all the art supplies in the world. Be thrown into a room. Have the door locked then throw away the key. Imagine all the beautiful pieces of art I could create. I would use different mediums and create other kinds of art. In the same style, but all I can use is what I have at the moment. Art supplies are expensive, but if you are a true artist you will create with what you have and make the best of it. Think about all the greatness and positivity in your life instead of focusing on the negative things in life. Live life in gratitude and don't be that angry old man that everyone wishes to never be. Still in the process of moving. Will update everyone on the drawing when I get the chance to. Took a picture of where I was at last night. What you see now is what I have finished at the moment. Observe the drawing carefully. Attempting my best to add little details. #abstract #abstractart #art #artist #artwork #colors #detail #doodle #drawing #geometry #multimedia #pattern #popart #prismacolor #sketch

Haven't posted in a while about 2 weeks. Didn't mean to wait this long it just kinda happened, hahahaha. I appreciate everyone's patience. If you have been following this drawing the whole time. You would know it has been quite challenging. Using a lot more energy than I am used to. To calm the mind. All I do is focus on one single shape at a time. If I were to observe the whole drawing as a whole. My mind would become "anxious" and forget where to start. At times I use up to 5 colors in one shape. I don't always have the color I need. So I end up blending the colors together. I never force anything when creating art. When creating art you should use nothing but the love within your soul. Create with love and you will create something you never thought you could create. In the moments of creating art, you are so lost in the colors and shapes. You forget you are making art. Instead, it feels as if you are a divine being. Watching over your shoulders forgetting all time and space. This energy flows throughout your whole body. In these moments you forget who and what you are. I have mentioned this before. I call it "art nirvana". Nothing matters more than the creative process. At times the inspiration might be hard to create within your mind. Just remember all it takes is searching within yourself. There is never an answer. The answers can be infinite and never end. You will never know if the "answer" is correct or incorrect. Each "answer" has a different outcome. Within yourself, you will know what is correct. In the end, you obtain what you put into this life. Live this life and don't have this life live through you. #abstract #abstractart #art #artist #artwork #colors #detail #doodle #drawing #geometry #multimedia #pattern #popart #prismacolor #sketch

The ones who harm are misunderstood and confused. Not knowing how to deal with the situation. Instead, fear takes over and the love is forgotten. Deep down within each soul hides infinite amounts of love. The most challenging thing to ever do in this life. Is to love thyself. They say about 1% of people die with peace and love in their soul. Most regret everything they have done their whole lives. Living a false reality only to dream about what they could have done. Instead, living in this life of lies and very few truths. You can manifest any reality you wish to imagine. Literally, anything is possible. Don't let the dream crushers and naysayers bring you down. In the end, people are just hating themselves and creating more hatred and negative energy in the world. People will talk no matter what. You might as well do what makes you happy and not what makes others happy. This is your life. Isn't it? The way you act and the energy you radiate to others in this world. Creates the energy you hold within. Each person possesses a different energy or frequency. The main source of energy is from within. Your soul feels empathy and compassion for others. Some don't feel emotions or have compassion for others. These are selfish people. The world revolves around them. I recommend nothing but love. With love, this life will be nothing but beautiful. People will envy you and be jealous of your happiness. The higher the frequency you vibe at the more love you produce. You get what you put into this life. Negative will create more negative. Positive will create positive. In an abstract form of living, we need both to know what is positive from negative. All I have to say is. You are the energy you feel.

Life is quite simple. There are the trees and there is a sun. The water flows down the stream. The sky possesses gusts of wind from time to time. They say twenty-four hours are in a day. Without the concept of time. Twenty-four hours could be a lifetime or possibly 4 minutes. We only know what we know because of what we are told. What we “know” is it to be “true” or to be “false.” Life’s outcome is in your control, but not 100%. The universe is in more control than anything. All you need to stay alive is the energy of love. I might be just a kid. With just a pencil. But that kid. With just a pencil. Feels many emotions and has much to express to others. I wish for the negativity to stop and the love to increase. Being an artist you throw yourself into this world. Everything from your inner self released to the outside world. Your “true self” is 110% exposed. Expressing all most everything I feel and everyone knows the “true” me. Being my “real self.” To create art. You have to step outside your own boundaries and mind. Step outside of the box you are already within. When you step outside of the box you are in. Growth is developed. There is a lot out there. More than the world you live within. Remember anything is possible just don’t give up on yourself. Doubt and fear are your greatest challenges. Facing your fears helps you grow into a greater you. Ignoring your fears leads you down the depths of a never-ending tunnel. To find the light or to live within the darkness forever. You manifest everything one way or another. Even if you think you don’t. You are everything and all things at once. But then again, not. Everything is the perception of the mind. Being an artist is quite imaginary and delusional. Talking to yourself and creating never-ending...

The drawing seems to be more challenging than I thought. The challenges can't destroy you. Instead, have the challenges help create you into the person you are today. I learn a lot about life when creating art. Patience is infinite. As you create art don't necessarily think about the art. But use your imagination just enough to create. The perfect amount to the point where you don't stress or worry. Just create. Instead of forcing everything. If you force something it won't happen the way it is supposed to happen. If you force the art. It is not being created with the heart. Be patience with everything you do. Not just art. Everything takes patience. At times you have to take a break within your mind and think about the moment. Is it really worth getting angry and fed up? It takes more energy to stir up the mind than to take a deep breath and to think about the situation. We are all on our own paths. Remeber to be patient. Use nothing but love. #abstract #abstractart #art #artist #artwork #colors #detail #doodle #drawing #geometry #multimedia #pattern #popart #prismacolor #sketch

Do you live this life in love or fear? Each moment of life is either appreciated or unappreciated. Is each step in hesitation. Or is each step with your arms wide open and ready for the next challenge that is thrown at you. Doing nothing but use love to battle each moment. With fear the problem enhances. Fixing nothing but walking down the complete opposite path intended. Do you love yourself? Or do you fear yourself? Is the energy you feel welcoming? Or is your energy nothing but an abundance of fear. Living life in love feels as if you have wings and you are set free into this world. Anything is possible with love. Fear is similar to having shackles or chains tying you down to the ground. It feels as if quicksand is pulling you down. Fear is fearing for the future and living in the past. Love is living in the now and accepting everything and everyone for who they are. The ego can be challenging to battle with. Ego is fear. Love is the soul. The soul is wise. The ego knows. I am neither wise or know anything. All I speak is my perspective. I feel as if no one knows who they are at the end of the day. Most say they know who they are. At the end of the day, no one really knows anything. Sure what you think might be "correct" but how do you know? The imagination is everything. Live this life in fear or love. With love, you will grow. With fear, you will destroy what the future holds for you. To live life in love expect to randomly laugh and smile at everything. With love expect to skip and dance for no reason Live life In fear and expect to frown at everything. Complaining about every little thing. Living in the past only trying to correct something that has already happened that cannot be fixed.
