Matchu,

Your portfolio is wonderful. Amazing. I wish it was all lining the walls of my house.

Some of the art brought me to tears. It is what my brain feels like sometimes just before and during a seizure. Sometimes my mind scribbles in color or black and white, and it gets mixed up in with what's around me. Not literally, it's a brain feel. Can't describe it beyond that. Somtimes things blur and the boundaries merge into each other. Sometimes colors get incredibly intense and it's like looking at the world through a box of crayons. Your work is temporal lobe epilepsy in a medium that people can see.

Anyway, you took what's in the head of a person with E (you) and showed it to the world on paper. I'm hoping the non-E people will get that.

If that is madness, then everyone should be there with you. It is a state of being that has pain, but also has incredible beauty.

Bravo, Matchu!

What an incredible body of work, Matchu! Such diversity. I'm no art connoisseur, but there were so many in there that spoke to me, from the T L E representations to the classic beauty of the female form, two thirds below the middle.

Fantastic work!
 
Amazing and awesome stuff there. It's always great to see your artwork in here. It transforms and takes me to another place and adds an escape mechanism from everyday stress.

Bravo, Matchu!

I am going to use this as a testimonial and then go sob a bit. You have said what i cant, thank all of you.
 
I added a few more pics up.I have been creating 3-4 painting a week and writing as well. I am currently showing at a gallery and the owner says I am getting lots of comments and i have finally made some gallery sales, which I am confident will only lead to more and more
 
That's such great news Matchu. Well-deserved success.
