So I've always been artistic. I got in trouble constantly for drawing in class (which is retarded because I usually kept the highest grades in class, so you'd think the teacher would fuck off). I always wanted to tattoo, so badly even that I started getting my friends drunk enough that they'd let me "tattoo" them when I was 13 with a home made machine. The work was horrible. I bugged the hell out of a local artist to teach me when I was 16. He kicked me out of his shop at least twice a week until I turned 18 and he couldn't use age as an excuse anymore. I love tattooing. It's part of me. I love designing new, unique pieces. Beyond that, I sculpt, I paint, I write, I do wood work, some metal work, basically anything that let's me create something unique with my hands. Unfortunately, for the last year I've not felt it. It's been like I lost an old friend. Or better yet, lost a limb. Recently though, I started listening to metal again. I'd started wanting to draw a little, but found my head blank for new concepts. Then I heard it. The voice of my muse. I shit you not. In This Moment is amazing. I heard Maria Brink's voice and I've been busy since. The more I've listened to them, the more ideas pop into my head. Not even ideas related to the music. Anybody else out there ever have this happen to them? Their music inspires me to create and I've never experienced that. So am I one step closer to that one size fits all white jacket? Or is this more common than I think?
