A poem I wrote today about someone very mean in my office, I might put some tone to it and sing it
Serenity is just an illusion
Hiding what’s supposed to be
the lies is shifting
the balance of eternity
the wounds are not preen
I see you infecting my remedy
I die everyday
Surrounded by your lies
I sink in deception
To a deep whole where I cannot escape
The reality has been altered
There is no face for the truth
your words are defected
When wrong becomes right!
And bad becomes good
You harvest what you planted
You hide from all the mirrors
Because you are afraid
To see
What others see in you
I want to be free
From the prison you made for me
Leave me alone
Let tomorrow be without you

Drawing is Creativity
Article by me!
Creativity and innovation is one of the most remarkable aspects of a successful artist, without it you will always feel frustrated and disappointed.
Creativity is contagious, it starts with a flare of passion and grow as symptoms that usually appears when you feel the (blink) striking, - I usually start seeing colors when I open and close my eyes- I then know that something is cooking inside my head ;)
Creativity however is different from innovation, when I worked in center for innovative thinking here as a marketing executive, our director insisted that we define each word and know the difference.
Innovation is doing and seeing things differently and coming up with new ideas, while creativity is exploring current objects and improve it in a beautiful way. (this is my definition).
When you see that others are astonished by what you do, and when you always look at things differently it means that you have a unique thing going on!
However, it’s not necessary that you have to be born with this bless, you might acquire or enhance it through environment and other medias available to you. But it’s always important to keep two things in mind observe well and enhance your awareness.
Start small and grow bigger, approach any object around you, let’s pick a table! What do you see? What colors are there? Where is the shade? Where is the light? What is the length of this table? Is it straight? Are there any designs or is it simple? Is it appealing?
Experience the exercise more, what if I added a cover on this table? Perhaps a vase with roses? How does it feel?
The best tool to enhance your creativity is to pick the things around you and make something out if it, this way you will not only be different , you will also over come the difficulties that you encountered by finding alternatives from the surrounding!
If for instance you have difficulty with drawing a face, try to change the way you draw it, instead of starting by the eyes for example, draw a circle and add lines. Remember! Start small and grow big.
Finally I have collected some useful links to help you get inspired.

I had an assignment from my digital painting teacher to draw myself as a Valkyrie, and it was a speed painting took 2 hours.I can make it really better if I sit more on it.
catherine from CSI
I tried to draw Catherine from my favorite TV series ,CSI. She has a gorgeous face and a very pleasant appearance on the screen, though she is in her 40s she is still so beautiful.
