So much unfounded negativity comes with the word atheist, so much I don't even like referring to myself as one. I am, however, very much an atheist. Most social labels come with their own social stigmas, it comes with the territory. I only wish more people would take the time to see past the social stigmas of a particular label and find out what the individual person believes, going beyond what you know about their social affiliation. By doing this, you still may not agree or like what that person believes but at least you'll know where that person stands as an individual, not as a group. And boy, beliefs do vary within the same groups, especially when it comes to religion.

I was sitting on my porch this morning thinking about how to draw trees and i concluded that no matter how much i tried, I would not be able to paint a tree as beautiful or realistic as an actual tree. Then i began thinking that artists aren't restricted to drawing trees exactly as they are. Artists have a special gift. They are able to morph realism into fiction and create new and beautiful things. You can draw real looking pictures of things that could never ever happen in real life.

That inspires me.

Haha my first picture here.
This one is strongly inspired by a trippy old 80's cartoon called Face Like A Frog.
I was going to add a fancy background but I'm kinda busy =_=;;
