My name is Hayley, and personally, that's enough that needs to be said about my name, I assume. I'm an artist who is inspired by many things, but mostly, I am inspired by the Spirit. I am a follower of Jesus Christ, and that will NEVER change. In many of my pieces, there will be an attempt to show the spiritual side to an event or maybe even a prayer I just want to synthesize in to something that can be seen in a different way. I'm an artist who varies what materials I use, and I have fun with that. I am not a fan of charcoal, and have an appreciation for the artists who can use it. Maybe one day, I'll be able to find my way to use it as well. In some of my pieces, you will find my symbolism to be very direct. For most artists, this is a limitation. For me, however, it is a pro rather than a con. To leave open the meaning of a piece is to take away its meaning, in many senses. Therefore, if I want to say something through art that is strong, I will attempt as much as possible to make it easy to relate to most of the time, but that doesn't mean it won't be direct. This is not usually an attractive quality in the art world, but this is where we need a revolution, non? Art is not something that should be judged with so many rules as it is. It is something that should be left to the artist to choose how they will portray something, rather than to taint their vision with the vision of others, just because it is the "fad" of the art world. It is fine to use the methods that are popular if they are you- if not, I believe it best to go on about how you feel something should be shown, rather than to change your art. Growing is not a matter of conforming into these popularized methods, it is a matter of finding yourself, not being open. One is far more likely to lose yourself in the process. Now, that does not mean not to study other artists. One should take the time to look at other art, and if they like the features in the art, to use them. However, I don't feel that it is right to open your mind to thinking that their style- or concept- is truth, which is what many people choose to do. If one chooses to believe something, they must test it as what it is. Take art for what it is- an expression. It is not a contest. It is not a ranking process. It is merely the thoughts or feelings of another, but not always of the one who creates it. This is why my pieces are direct. This is why I choose the style I do. This is my explanation, and one should take it as stated, and try not to probe into it very much, for it has more reasoning behind it than is said, mostly in a spiritual sense. I will not leave my pieces open to twisting or interpretation, as it would change drastically the truth of which I have found to be fact. Therefore, I challenge everyone who sees the pieces to take them, learn their concept, and test it.

Jun 24th, 2007<font color=#5C62E0> and while the inner senses are working: <font color=#FF0000> (soundtrack Nine Inch Nails - The Frail + Nine Inch Nails The Wretched) <font color=#5C62E0> a stroke of the piano keys pluk my inner strings and I vibrate. Tingling frailty in my heart makes me feel alive. ceveral strokes on the piano, this time in a melody. the tingles escalate. my heart alost hurt at each tone. its like a first kiss or the first spring sun. the tones are repeated, now taking shape of a song, a complete melody. i vibrate inside, its painful yet glorious. and at the right note, the top key, a burst of light in my chest, making me feel almost sick. comfortably sick. like a long lost childohood crush, it hurts yet i smile. its addictive. <font color=#900000>LOVING my new tablet and photoshop. <font color=#545354> i need complete css-php-html-java knowlege database downloaded to my memory cortex I learned drawing from my father the moment i could hold a pencil. He was and still is an outstanding artist with both pencil and photo.

Jun 17th, 2007Currently residing in Porto, Portugal, Oscar is a 21 year old digital artist and graphic designer, who early started to get related to traditional forms of art and expression by influence of his grandfather, a traditional sculpturer. His further attachment to graffiti and street art open new horizons and helped him conceive new concepts and representations. Later, the fascination of posters and graphic design seen on the streets lead him to experiment modern ways of expression, such as digital art and design, and around March 2003, he was creating and experimenting abstract 3d art and conceptual digital art. Today, he is a member of the mega art collective, DepthCORE, for who great part of his digital art is produced for. Oscar is attending ESAD in Porto, studying graphic design and is also working freelance. Oscar gets inspiration by everything he sees on the streets. The urban influence is very present in his work. Apart from design and digital art, he also loves skateboarding, drawing, photography and cinema. Tools of trade: Photoshop, Illustrator, Cinema 4d, Canon 400D
