Ok got sick of this stupid name, really its pretty lame
so my new one is KatieCatastrophe if your interested, im only putting my best stuff on there
plus i submitted a bunch of new sketches

ps ::i think deviantart needs to make an easier way to get a new username, that took a long ass time

sometimes its so frusterating to find it, there are times when I feel like im trapped in a hole, the sides are muddy with few places to hold while i lift myself up and out, and even finding those doesnt get you completly out, sometimes its starts a mudslide. all the ideas I thought were solid, that could hold my weight, turn into guilty failure, but the light from above always makes me want that temporary freedom again.

-for all you creative creatures, keep crawling

every once in awhile i take some time out of my day and browse deviantart, but everytime I do it seems like there is less and less traditional art. Sure, digital art is pretty neat, and alot of great pieces have come out of this relatively new use of media, and they are getting better and better all the time. But I do miss seeing paintings, new ones have become pretty rare on this site, I may be bias because I am a painter, but there is something so pure about someone putting there actual hands into a piece, spending hours and hours over a canvas, gliding there brush so poetically across the surface to make something beautiful.
Is painting slowly dying?
Is it being replaced with people clicking away at their mouse, staring at a silly comuter screen for hours of creativity?

I have no doubt in my mind that digital art has become a powerful force in art. But I think its sad to just forget where art began, (I know cavemen drew pictures to) but painting was a whole new revolution. People started to pay attention to pictures, being mesmerized by their secrets. Its also when so many great minds figured out how to explain them. So I guess what Im saying is digital art is great but it feels like we are forgeting, or maybe we are just moving on, from something that created what art is today.

yay finally got my new stuff in, too bad its such poor quality had to use my dads 25 dollar digital camera, you have to hold the batteries in lol, hopefully someone will enjoy it anyways though

spinning out of control
down, down, down
how far will you go?

the cocaine is telling lies
making us spit out whatever comes to mind
rambling, rambling
there is no breath between our words
thoughts are drowning in the moment
every syllable means a little less
we become the monsters of nothing
time wraps around us

check our pulse
we are alive
heart beat in double time
but motionless, calm in thought
our minds explode
trailing off
