"I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people." Vincent Van Gogh

See my fine art on Flickr!

I am the blueberry that you saw
in that big old spiderweb
I dangle in random absurdity
like some strange poem
you might have read...

My Best Poem

how precious are dreams
that logical themes
quote facts in attempt to deny you
that magical day, when you can say
I believed!
and that's why they ARE true!

Thesis Statement
I like art, I do art,
I do art all the time,
I do alot of art
and when I'm not
sometimes I write a rhyme!

"Love is the answer"
John Lennon

Alien Abduction painting by Darren Daz Cox

~*Alien Abduction – acrylics and florescent tempera on canvas by Darren Daz Cox*~

I painted this one in 1998 while I was studying graphic design at Bradley U. in Peoria Illinois. I love florescent tempera paint, it is relatively cheap and available in just about every drug store and makes great special efffects under black light, even if you think you have no artistic talent – you can feel like a genius under blacklight with your fingers in some pots of florescent tempera!

I’m now on at least half of all the social networks out there hehe, see if you can find me! Hopefully I’ll just post here and everywhere gets a copy of this post or a link to it.

I like the idea of having my original creations suddenly available for people to just happen upon it. Art can trigger memories and wonderfully strange thoughts, it can inspire your own creativity and that is a good thing!
