The Fine Art Blog of Darren Daz Cox

I love art and I love to make people inspired and happy, it is what I was put on Earth to do. I have always been an artist and I always will be.

All art on this bog post by Darren Daz Cox world’s greatest artist in the world!

People often ask me to draw things for them but don’t realize that their casual demands leave me puzzled and will most likely not be fulfilled any quicker than it took Michelangelo to finish the Medici chapel.

People are rarely shy about asking me to do something for them that requires me to draw power from God and inspiration from the world. Sometimes they’ll just open a conversation by asking if i’ll  draw them something  specific, an angel with a camera for a logo the lovely photographer Tina T-Pain’s business and a dragon for Skinhead Linda’s business, a piece of tattoo flash (cherubs holding a banner) for C-Charles and another (shooting stars) for one of my art models, Beff. 

But you would never go up to Stephanie Sugarcookie and say "I’d like you to bake me a dozen chocolate chip cookies" or to Monstertruck Rick and say "I’d like you to adjust my Gran Torino’s carbourator"  or ask Dave Omega to write you a song on his banjo about skipping merrily down the f*ing lane with your one eyed cat. 

I know you guys do it out of love and that it’s a compliment and even though I really would like to please you, even if I thought it would make me happy by making you happy or get me material goods and/or services rendered or even to score points with a girl I want to get to know better, the fact is I can’t draw on demand, and If I’m not drawing on demand for them I most likely will not do so for you. 

Don’t bother to bring money into the equation as yes, given enough money I’d draw you something but as we know from quantum physics, intention is key, and my intention would be to get the money not to stretch my creative powers. If you paid me to do art you’d get faux-art but a machine might not be able to recognize the difference since the same hand made it.

Writer John "Mr. T Experience" Phillips said I could paint the cover to his new book, and gave me some specific things he wants and I really want to, and I will try, but……

Anyway, here’s my latest random digital piece of art, the Magic Snail, all hail the magic snail!

Click this one for my flickr account where the huge version lives and is ready to download. Feel free to use the liquify filter on it to make your own swirly trippy pyschedelic art!

The Magic Snail by Darren Daz Cox coolest artist in the universe.

Here are some detail jpgs to add more awesome art to the search engines and the word "zing" so when ever you search for that word you have a chance to see my cool art too.

Pyschedelic bunny artwork baby! We need more of this!!!

I really like this magic indian totem looking mask that randomly appeared in my artistic randoming. 

I have some awesome awesome pencil sketches I’m dying to show you but I don’t have electricity in my house anymore to make the scanner work, it’s been a week and no word on when it will return but yea for Copper River Coffee shop and it’s free WI-Fi, awesome staff and yummy green tea and muffins.

Have an awesome day my friends and remember to be creative!
