My forte are the visual arts, and I have spent much of my time learning and honing my skills within an array of tactile mediums. The written word, however, has always fascinated, as well as intimidated me, as it is certainly a titanic realm of art itself. The ability to paint mental images within anothers' mind is, in my opinion, the true power of the written (or spoken) word. While I humble myself in any forum environment such as this, writing and posting works and creations alongside so many extremely talented and imaginative artists all the more puts me in my place as a novice writer. I am happy to work from this point, and learn what I can as i explore, through fantasy and horror, the darkest regions of the human psyche.

I welcome slander. I expect it. My profile seems drenched in the vomitous replies of utterly offended readers. I enjoy stirring these responses. The extremes shake people. These topics certainly shake me, far out of my comfort zone and into dark, unexplored corners of depravity. However, while creative berating from offended readers is fun to read, the extreme subject matter I deal in (i.e. sexual violence, gore, snuff,etc.) is well noted in each stories' warnings section. I see little excuse for shock or surprise, IF the warnings are read and adhered to with regard to your own tastes.

All of that bullshit aside, I VERY much appreciate those who take the time and courage to dive into my stories, wholey unbiased and curious as they explore some dark, terrible realm. It is meant to shock. Additionally, those who might offer some beneficial suggestion as a posted reply, suggesting how I might improve my limited writing skills...Your messages are invaluable. Your suggestions are taken into account with great regard. Thank you.
