This is the most personal piece I have ever done. It is for me, and me alone, so if you dont like it or have critique, fuck off. i dont care. go play in traffic.

This is my story. All of it is real, all of it happened. These are my most personal memories, my darkest memories. If you read all of this, you will know more about me than many of my friends and family. This is my trashcan, this is me throwing away all of my luggage, everything that has been holding me down for years, letting it all go.

I have been hiding it all for years, keeping it secret, but now i am sharing it with whoever is wiling to listen. If you read the letter at the bottom left, feel special, only two people have ever read those words including myself.

It is an amazing feeling to have all of this off my chest.

The origional file is 36inx36in at 300 dpi. you do the math, its fucking huge. takes about 5 minutes plus just to open the damn this. hundreds of layers. this took me hours.
it reads like a book left to right, top to bottom. and at the end is an explanation of why i have been so inactive, the big news, code name Roadtrip.

Oh wow, I could tell this was going to be personal right away, but this actually took my breath away little. I must say, you're probably the bravest person I have come across possibly since forever. Sharing this must have been hard, especially with complete strangers.

Very nice. I find myself captivated by this piece.

Personally, I find art doubly interesting when it's something meaningful and relevant to the artist in question.

Thanks for sharing. I only hope to have the talent to a similar inferior collage one day for a loved one of mine.

wow man, im really amazed by your story, so much pain, so much hate and love at the same time. What really makes me feel good about this is that you are still there, fighting, and this means you are strong enough to believe that sometimes you are the only one who can help yourself, and thats why you are "still standing".

Posting this should mean a lot for you, and sometimes I think about doing the same, but I just dont do it...I think every artist here on deviant art has a painfull storry to tell, because we all seek for happines in our minds, drawing, painting, or making space art, we seek for that place where we belong...

I would like to tell you about my life, wich is full of pain and hate, but also love and sadness...mabye not through this message, because its kind of unconfortable to read. but eventually Ill find a way....

i appreciate that a lot man. after i posted this, even after i made this, a great weight was lifted off my shoulders. it helped me accept and move on. i actually highly recommend making a piece like this. its hard, very hard. just to have to bring those memories back to the surface, but once you do, and put them on paper (or screen), its an amazing feeling. you dont even have to post it, as long as you have it, as long as yo can see it, and you made it. its a truly amazing feeling.

For the sake of life and the ones we love
We must bare our hearts and raise it above
The heads of all for all to see
And shout to the world 'THIS IS ME!'

Inspiring and deep to the farthest extent,
you've shown me that there is always repent.
If only I had the courage you possess,
then maybe I could live without regrets.

I just wrote that on the spot.

Very powerful work, what you did there. Definitely lessons to be learned. Everything I said was true to the letter.
