I am overjoyed when someone comments on my photo on flickr, or comments on my non-existent blog. I am saddened when I check my email and there is no non-spam email. When I grow up, I want to be e-popular.

Mum walks in and asks: why are you painting with your blood? I answer; because that is the way I can feel. I don’t know what I would have done if it was not for art. It is my breathing space, my world out of this world, where no one exists but everyone does in a different way. I don’t paint every painting literally with my blood, but they are representations of my blood, my soul, my inside brought out through an image. I’m okay
