Series: Nightmare

     I've had a lot of semi lucid dreams as of lately and it's rather throwing as in them I do a lot of creating of objects and thoughts and such. Thus I had a moment of inspiration and decided to do a series of photoshop pieces dedicated to those creations called "Nightmare". It's not that these creations went evil or have been causing me nightmares, but the imagery in my mind feels like that of a nightmare in a bad horror movie. Thus leading to pieces such as the following.

Enter Jebus:

This piece is more of a creation of my mind. It's somewhat able to see but not really able to express it's thoughts vocally so thus it is in it's own rendition of hell. 

Family Portrait:

Growing up I tried to dodge the camera as much as I could as I hated having my picture taken. Trust me to a point I still do unless I control the camera. (seriously it got so bad that relatives thought I disappeared or was dead). I felt this was kind of a representation of that feeling I'd get when someone would pull a camera. 

Sweet Dreams:

This has got a double to triple meaning depending on whom you talk to. Yes the clown face was based on "SweetTooth from Twisted Metal. Yet the title to many who knew me in my teenage years well kind of explains itself to a bit. I'd explain but then it would get awkward.....

     So I leave you the reader and viewer of my odd bits of insanity to let these images soak in. Please feel free to comment or share these sick and twisted pieces with friends and family.

Pieces and pieces

 

This is mainly me toying with photo programs.
- William Dreimann

Arts and Programs: No I don't mean classes or social programs.

     Creativity comes in many forms from simple design to manipulation of the senses to create a world. I tend to put things on hold to come back to a feeling or put the right emotion to my work. If I start an image happy I want to be happy drawing and putting together the image. Yet I found that creating a world requires more emotions. Yeah I've been playing with RPG Maker VX Ace. Maybe it's that I can build a character based world and let it grow or maybe that it's giving me inspiration for Wonderland United, but I am loving this odd little program. It's like a gaming world photoshop. If I could combine the two RPG Maker and Photoshop it would be most amazing.
     I find my creativity is based on worlds and thoughts that I can't say aloud. A fine line of my sexual needs, a taste of the obscure and things that appeal to my eye. Thus I keep looking for more ways to express my thoughts in some new way. To be honest between the gaming creation and my love of sick and twisted. I'm finding it quite mentally stimulating. (yes I am in dire need of a job, but until I can get one to come through for me..... creating will do) I've been browsing Deviant Art looking for inspiration and almost everything that inspires me I find being a mixture of fantasy and well..... sitting on the edge of "Really Really WRONG!!!". No I'm not saying the artists that are doing these pieces are wrong or crossing a line, but I'm trying to find that line where things meet that mixture of Mature and Obscene. Example: I like seeing many of the old style art and sculptures and photographs but in the same aspect I like the newer style of photo realism and Nudes. A lot of the world I build and create I try to keep PG on the surface and subtle hints or blatant expressions of X rated material within. I'm not trying to make things obviously wrong or sick, but life isn't obviously wrong or sick just filled with things that catch our eye and if you understand the sick and twisted this just catches your eye.
     I think I'm trying to over explain here. Maybe it's the need of an audience or maybe it's that I need to create. I'll let my art continue to do the speaking and you the reader can express your opinions.

Come inside my world ......

     Madness is a curse and a gift. Some of you whom know me may realize that some of the weird and unusual thoughts that mix into my artwork are just momentary impulses mixed with a feeling of need to push the envelope so to speak. I rather wish I suffered from Genius Syndrome rather than some of the basic madness that stands before me now. Yet such is my life and such is my art. I have been working on drawings and weird concepts in my head. Yes that facebook post will be put into effect at some point. (if you need to question this think scissors, a leash and jello) I'm falling to far inside my own head to make a whole lot of sense. It's funny that I find this to be comforting yet others seem to see this as my own personal hell.
       I question my own well being at moments be it my views or thoughts or that I do hold a suicidal past that occasionally eeks it's face out at me and tempts my very nature. Don't take me wrong folks I'm not feeling suicidal, but that part of me is there and well sometimes likes to dance on my art and things of that nature. I have my moments, we all do, of depression and doubt. Yet I still stand and to be honest people are here to help me stand. So with that I'm quite honored to be who I am. My art helps clear some of the painful thoughts from my head and leads me to ask lots of questions. So with that I shall return to my work.

More and more of my sick twisted mind being put to pixel

     Is what I do art??? that is my question for the day. I think so, but I'm partial to the work I do. It never turns out as I see it in my head, but what ever truly does. What I'm actually asking here people is "Is this Art to you?" many would question or wonder about it. I personally love the fact that I have gotten followers on Deviant art and even the fact that this blog has several viewers. Probably a lot of them I know personally, but it's a start. I have an eye for the mad and the insane and truly wish to have something great come from this art that I produce, hell even negative feedback is good publicity. So take a moment and ask yourself is what I do art? If you're not sure ask a friend and share my oddities and comment if you please. I promise to hold no direct grudges.

Painted Madness

Kind of a quickie piece update. Nothing spectacular.

The quest of Art

     I was looking around online for images to toy with for some of my photoshop collage work, and found that well the internet is just one giant distraction after the next. Now I know this is a truth that many will go "DUH" and act like I'm dumb or something. But here is an example of what I'm talking about:

      I looked up "Angel Wing" thinking I'd find something white with some feathers in google images and well got PORN. I thought about it and ok I can sorta see this path on how they got to porn so I decided to look something else up like.... "Religious Idols" just to see if there were things for me to work with and got well...... A very nice set of boobs and then lots of porn... Now being male and such this is a bit distracting so I decided to play with the filter thinking I was leaving things too loose. I looked up "Leather patches" keeping the filter looking for some more direct and hoping to get an image of leather patches to play with the texture and got leather which was great then quickly it switched over to you guessed it BOOBIES.

     Now I'll be completely honest I like looking at nudes and porn and stuff but I do recall a point where google images was not trying to force me to look at porn and would lead me to things like shops and things of this nature. Which was distracting but workable. I find it hard to be creative when the internet is calling me to porn..... and not just simple porn... good porn.
     This rant may seem comical to some of you, but this lead me to a separate thought. Parents tell their kids and so do teachers to google shit a lot. How much porn do you think you're kids have seen???
