Abuse Of Reason's photostream

The darkness has always held a significant and deep-rooted meaning to me, ever since I can remember. To be able to express my love and appreciation for the darker side of life and the mind by creating visions from nothing is a gift I will never take for granted. Unlike other dark artists, I’ve always shied away from the use of traditional symbols of fear and dread: blood, demonic or angelic beings, graveyards, vampires, etc. Instead, I prefer to summon your darkest feelings, ones kept well hidden below even the denizens of the silver screen, by manipulating more benign, every-day things and beings into a scene meant for psychological stimulation. As I learned well in my many years as a depressed human, insanity and the creations of your own mind are far more frightening than anything a horror movie could conjure. This is the road-less-traveled in even the dark art realm that I choose to stride with confidence.

Music is one of my largest inspirations; a great many of my works have threads sewn in from songs or lyrics. My number-one goal, speaking strictly of my art career, is to become an artist for musicians and record labels, creating art for CD layouts, logos, merchandise, and anything else a band uses to present their vision to the world. I find this scenario to be a perfect diabolical marriage, if you will, and hope to one day find myself taking those vows.
