My name is Frank.

I'm a starving artist who chases storms and studies them. I've known about DeviantArt since my 6th grade when a couple other friends would draw and submit.

I hope you enjoy my content. I bleed much of my time and soul on my work- don't be overwhelmed by all that there is to see and read.  And whew, there is a lot. <n<

All this AI spam on the feed/in general makes me sad. I get that people like to prompt and see where their imagination takes them, but it isn't the way to do it. I believe in clawing your way up and realizing your own vision no matter how much you hate your own work or are like "This sucks. Blabla is so much better than me." Fuck all that. Pull it out of you and refine it! >:000 Anyway, none of my stuff is AI. It's just not for me. Deviantart seems to be favoring monetizing and taxing art sales/ai art sales lately to either profit/stay afloat, it's kind of a bummer.

Even if I'm wrong, shit's everywhere. If AI did anything at all positive, it's helped me cherish human made art of most all kinds more than I ever have before.

What is all this?

The illustration of the things, shapes, and beings I encounter during sleep through digital art is traditionally called "digital scrying". I pull out subconscious thoughts, visions I recall before/during sleep and surrealism that one could only call their "soul map". Going into that space, it feels as though I pull parallel realities and ancient thoughts through- maybe they only exist until I invoke them. Those who create from within are shamanic and visionary. It took me 14 years of straight art to get to here creatively. I did my schooling for digital art and only until classes were over have I started my own projects and never looked back. Went to a trade school for 2 years for digital art classes in 11th and 12th grade. I was lucky to have such a fun and engaging photoshop teacher. :>

Since I was a boy, I've inherited this sense or reflex to constantly have these vivid, structured lucid dreams. Sometimes I'll have a continuation dream of a similar scenario I had weeks ago. This also leads to bizarrely disorientated dreams, and lucid nonsense. Some nights I've been thrown into these psychotic, involuntary adventures made up of past memories, places I've been to and people I've known as my true self in this world. Just an observer in so many dreams where my set, setting and scenario makes little sense, but I would traverse and become a part of them as if it were second nature. Perhaps it has always been this way. Around late 2010 is when I started making art for myself and everybody else who finds it fascinating. And I sure as hell ain't stoppin now, bitchhhh 😈

Never stop creating. All of you.

What do I want? I wanna inspire you >:0 whether I make money from this or not. I love what I do. Being a starving artist is ideal for me, I work hard, pay my bills and let my instinct to create take the wheel. I come home from work, I go RIGHT into my tablet or photoshop. The night is and will always be sacred. It's so so cool seeing how many others feel the same way and just create relentlessly; in their own styles, their own pace, palettes... I see everything you all put in your pieces and it's so amazing. Medication and cannabis play a big role in many of my concepts, dreams and storytelling as well. I find them as a catalyst for creativity, and in moderation you can find some incredible states of mind and ideas to put onto the canvas, visually. All of these things fascinate me. I can go on and on, but I'll spare you. This is a big read. >_> I also enjoy writing very much, and I believe that through personal storytelling within art or a certain concept does a lot for being able to fully understand it by other people. Rhythm and setting is so important to me when I attach it to my pieces, there are all these rules I set for myself when I do it.

What does it all mean? I don't fuckin know. Still figuring it out.

I'm just going to keep recalling my dreams and making more digital paintings.

You should all create endlessly too. All of your work inspires me so much.

It's good to be here. Check my shit out. Work hard. 😤  I will too.

That being said, welcome to my channel! 

Take your shoes off, stay a while.  >w>
