I am also an aspiring artist. I can't wait for someone to notice me.
Here's a free art:

Image
Title: Den moderna negern
Date: 2009-11-04
Medium: Photoshop


Summary:
Heavily inspired by Edvard Munch, and in particular his most famous work; The Scream. The work tries to imbue a modern spirit-of-the-age by using a medium and a technique that would have been next to impossible to do with only analog means. The work tries to convey a sense of desperation often felt by african immigrants in a post-Colonial setting. "It's not easy to climb down from the trees and start applying for welfare using a computer or a smartphone" the artist commented after being asked about where said desperation (or even alienation) stems from.
The low life has lost its appeal
And I'm tired of walking these streets
To a room with its cupboards bare

A very powerful image is depicted by the artist, Arvin. The colors alone, speak loudly and make it hard to misconstrue the emotions of oppression, distress and anger. The title, translated from Swedish to English, reads "The Modern Nigger". The name of the piece ties up the details into a neat package of self-reflection of the artist (whom of which has come to the realization that he is half greasy Iranian nigger). He sees himself in post-Colonial African immigrants and picks his sapling of inspiration from them. However, the other half is white. Internal "cracker-vs.-nigger" conflict is imminent, which leads the viewer to expect either another piece of the series or possibly a diptyque along the lines of "white guilt". A definite 10/10 and the Swedish Arts Council should totes be told 'bout this.

I don't draw as much as I used, to (Read; Not at all. The most I've drawn in a long time are some D&D doodles) I do however, still paint. Quite a bit actually, mostly miniatures. I'll link most of the pictures.

Yes. Yes I am. I need some more Kevlar rope and new soft wooden cores. You wrap a Monkey's Fist knot around the wooden core with an eyelet hole in it for circular poi, you can do a box wrap around a large eyelet for tower's. I use cheap Dog Leashes (The Chain kind) for rope, and I make my own Leather finger cuffs to hold them (I find a simple two prong, with a tight seam works best). Then you soak them in kerosene. As far as fuels, I use Kerosene for Poi, and Paraffin Oil for Fire Breathing (If you do it with alcohol, there's a greater chance of blowback burning your mouth, also; You get drunk because it sits in your mouth, a prolonged performance can leave you wasted... I found out the hard way. Being drunk with Second Degree burns, and burned/chapped lips sucks, just FYI.)

There's also numerous accelerants that you can use on your body. I've lit my hands, fingers, and arms on fire for performance stuff with 75% Isopropyl alcohol, and you can also use Hair Mousse (The foaming kind) for an extended burn. You get some pretty cool results.

Also; Always remember the rules; Start out with shit that's not on fire, I use Tennis Balls and Baseballs for practice. Keep a wool blanket in a 5 Gallon Bucket of water ready on the site, and never do Poi or any other fire stuff alone. It's dangerous.

It's recommended that you don't do fire breathing at all. Most people think that you're Spitting the accelerant, when you're actually Aspirating it. You're pushing the air out of your lungs as well as the accelerant out of your mouth. Even when doing this correctly, there's still a chance you burn your lips, or the fire travels back down the accelerant and goes into your lungs. If that's the case, you'll need a hospital ASAP. It collapses then chars your lungs. Never a good thing.
