Let's Begin

I don't know what I'm doing. I've never even read a blog; let alone considered creating my own. Nothing much to say. 

I'm sure I'll get around to explaining the finer details of doing this, but for now let's just call it Art Therapy for trauma recovery. I've never been any good at art in any capacity, neither technical or creatively and I suspect that I'm still just as bad. 

But something happened. I suffered a psychotic episode that left my mind blank. Nothing could hold my attention, anything that tried irritated the hell out of me, but the boredom was killing me and the frustration was growing exponentially. 

Eventually I picked up a large sketch pad and filled a page with compass drawn circles; all different sizes linking each other and then coloured in each overlapping section with my collection of Sharpies. I'll see if I can put an image up so you can see. I now have a wall covered with these pages. My own personal wall of crazy. 

So the idea here is to discover if this blog can keep me busy. Can my art improve? But most importantly, is there a possibility that I can begin to feel like a human again? I'll ask one thing of you. If you're unlucky enough to come across this nonsense remember that it is just for me, not for you.
