I am one of those artists who suffer from one of the worst handicaps an artist can have ...I never complete anything i draw...there always seems to be something missing in my work..If it's not an arm missing then it's a leg, if it's colored , there is always some big white space somewhere.The only explaination I have for this is the simple fact that I draw only when driven by something I call the 'Vibe'. It's like an unseen force that prompts me to pick up a pencil or fire up my paint programs and do something creative... the only thing is that the 'Vibe' works on it's own time and whatever creative flow that comes from it can end as suddenly as it started, most times when I am mid-way in a drawing *sighs*...If your not buying my 'Vibe' concept, then you can just chalk it up to plain old laziness;). In any case the 'vibe' seems to feed off my exposure to other work and tends to last longer as a result...so expect to see at least near completed stuff...:)As for my influences artwise, they pretty much come from everything i've ever seen, from comic strips, Classical paintings, sculptures, nature, movies, etc..anything that my eyes can percieve within the visible colour spectrum...Once not so long ago I aspired to become the Jack-of-all-art styles..(ambitious are'nt I). I wanted to be able to move from one style to another at the snap of a finger. I even created different monikers to match the mode/style of drawing I was in. If I was doing anime I would be Scarab, If i were doing fantasy I would become Crimson Dawn, if I drew comic style I was Dimu(actually a shorter version of my middle name)..But lo and behold switching between so many styles came with a price ...I never developed one style ...It's not that my versions of the diff. styles were'nt unique in their own way but the fact that I never became consistent in my art...most of my friends say they that without my signiture it would be hard to tell if my peices belonged to the same person...But I take it not as a bane but as a blessing. Afterall I never did like the idea of getting stuck in one particular mode of art...Change is the motto i draw by...Enjoy what you can of my work

 | |  | | | Date | Name | Comment | | | 22 Nov 2003 |  MorbidAngel | Hey man, your "vibe" is shared by many people in this world  . I used to be able to finish my artwork way back when. but now when i get the feeling for art. I tend to sketch out 10 different pics all in one sitting. whatever springs to mind. (my reason for it is my music. its the music!. play something heavy, draw demons, darkness, techno, futuristic stuff, older tunes creates for some pretty random stuff.) but when the songs over, so is the picture mostly . I just draw what i see in the tune. sad how it works. I feel ya though. | |
| 28 Mar 2004 |  Amrita K. Kareer | Haha! *high five* i guess we suffer from the same handicap. I understand how it is..I never finish mine either i start on one sketch continue ..But never finish it..
But my point: I like your art. You have a very exiting art gallery! | |
| 5 Apr 2004 | marc | Damion, I was looking for Caveman pictures when I stumbed upon your site. I read your bio and I can relate to you. As a fellow artist, yet not as established as you, I have many ideas like you (the vibe) and try to get them penciled in on paper. Once I have it roughed in, then slightly detailed the imposed feature. Afterwards, I quit and then stuff it in my archives. My brother kids me on never finishing anything. Unless I have a deadline for someone who needs a picture for a T-shirt or concept, nothing else gets done. It's like I need someone to hold a gun to my head in order to finish (I know that is somewhat extreme). Well, I just want to let you know, there's others that are in the same boat as you. Anyways, your work is awesome and I'm envious of you. Now lets finish our work  | |
| 25 May 2004 | JacaLyn SkYe | You have a very nice style to your art. It's totally awesome and i love it  I'll be definately watching for updates on your site. I sincerely dub you one of my most favorite artists at Elfwood | |
| 3 Jun 2004 |  Traci Danielle Gorba | Well, the "vibe" may be sporadic, but its definitely leading you the right way. I absolutely LOVE your pencil sketches, they just have such a tangible quality to them!! I hope you put some more stuff up here, finished or not... | |

You are VERY, VERY GOOD artist ^-^ | |
