My Sketch - Barbed Wire Bike :o(After reading 'Magic Forests' thread the other day about epilepsy and creativity, I thought I would analyse my last sketch. I sit and draw 'not very good', quick sketches during my lunchtime at work (when I manage to get a break) it helps me to de-stress after a hard morning in the office. Anyway getting to the point, as all the regulars on CWE know, I desparately want to ride a motorcycle, so this picture was very interesting. I set about sketching a bike, but when I actually paid attention to what I had drawn it was obvious that there was some deep psychosis involved. I sketched a Harley, fair enough, no problem with that, but then I carried on and wrapped the bike in barbed/razor wire, (I can remember thinking that it would look kinda cool), but who on earth draws barbed wire around a motorcycle????Which to me means that from my point of view that it is something out of my reach, a dream that is dangerous to touch, something that I am not allowed, so close and yet so far (sigh) My picture is called "Barbed Wire Bike" I have added it below as an attachment for anybody that might be interested. Has anybody else ever paid attention to your own creativity and found a deeper meaning?

Wow!!!It's really GOOD, CM!!! Perhaps you ought to consider being an artiste'? Oooolala!!! ![]() ![]() I like it very much! I could NEVER do something that wonderful! I can see where your thought process is leading to though.......hmmmmm. 'Tis a good point. Since I'm not that talented in that area, I don't feel qualified to answer.... |

| Great drawing - I couldn't begin to do that. But, I think you may be right about the underlying message. I want to try to create something this winter that expresses my feelings about E. I have no idea what form it will take. I know it will not be artistic, but I want it to be an expression of my view of E. |

| Thanks guys for all the great compliments. Buckeye it would be cool to see what direction your thoughts and feelings about E leads, keep us posted when you start your project. I think my bike picture has my biggest desire and E summed up for me. Nancy - Yes, you can see more of my sketches if you wish, I keep them all at work (strange I know) coz they are drawn at work, I never bother bringing them home. I will take my camera with me tomorrow and take some photos of them. Meetz - Consider being an artiste?? well a tattoo artist would be cool (as I normally have to copy a pic or photo), my watercolours/oils are dreadul, I think that is more Robins expertise.

| Hey CM, That's actually really impressive. I was only any good at pencil drawings back at school, and would manage to kill a picture as soon as the Teacher told us to paint 'em! I'm just looking at the picture with a Psychological mind, and trying to figure out what the barbed wire on the bike represents ?.....any thoughts you wanna share ? ![]() |

| Quite nice CM - You have found one of the reasons it is so awesome to be an artist. I have been told that a person's soul comes through in their work. It is a vision of your universe. Keep exploring. I don't think that a motorcycle is out of your reach.

| Hey Teetees I have been trying do a psychological evaluation of my picture and I find it very strange that I thought barbed wire around the item I most desire seemed like a good idea, especially as currently this item is a no go area. I think that it has really expressed how I feel about getting a bike "I can look, but not touch" p.s. I can also kill a picture as soon as a paintbrush is involved, thats why I just stick to quick pencil sketches, but this one seems to have an underlying meaning. Robin - I hope you're right, one day, sigh sigh sigh.

.....but aren't objects such as bikes/cars extended visions of ourselves ? That would mean that you could be feeling trapped by the 'barbed wire' which is a representation of something else in your life, or even 'not getting off the starting block' so to speak. However, if you look a little closer, I notice that the post closest to us has been demolished, and the bike is breaking through. Does this mean that you HAVE been feeling trapped inside yourself, but can see a means of escapism.....therefore, knowing that there IS a chance to get OFF the path which you are on, and breaking FREE. ....or maybe I'm just talking a load of rubbish and need feeding right now ![]() |

| Yes, I looked at the fallen post and thought maybe that was a sign that a bike isn't out of my reach afterall and that it is actually finding a way to me. OR is it that I have not given up on getting one so I have left a way to get to it eventually

| You're right Birdbomb, Epilepsy is like barbed wire, it has you wrapped up in its razor sharp teeth and it is up to us to find a way to break free!!!!!!! GOOD POINT
