It's not the component pieces that are confusing. What isn't clear is how they are related into a coherent idea.

Sober up from being crazy? From anti-craziness medication? From "self medication" taken due to craziness?

A Metallica lyric. Given the Metallica imagery, the "sober up" and "hallucination" comments, and the fact that you are selling paintings, I could conclude that...

You are in recovery, in an outpatient psychiatric program, and part of your therapy is doing this art?

Is that anywhere close? My point is that "Googling it" is zero percent effective in deciphering your posts.

P.S. I am sorry I made a joke about your painting. It's just that, it looks like you haven't studied art that much. To be honest it looks like you just slapped some paint on the canvas, because the colors are all smudged together and muddy, with big, obvious brushstrokes. That isn't what "painters" are doing when they paint. You have to put some thought into it. Kind of like composing sentences.

I'm sorry if this is difficult for you. I understand that you may be trying your hardest, and I apologize if I have contributed to an atmosphere of "making fun of" you. I honestly mean most of what I am saying to be useful as constructive criticism. I hope that your experience of posting here isn't a negative one.

Your exactly right... Rabbit and the Moon is a Dark Techno Band produced by a label called Hallucination Recordings one of there main shows is "Hallucination Before Christmas". I know I'm not the best painter or really anywhere close to what a REAL artist would be considered. I actually flunked out of college and painting and drawing were my last two classes I completed got a B in drawing and an Incomplete in Painting. If I put my mind to it I can do some really great things with paint and pastels however I'm loosing patience for it. Hopefully I'll be back in school within the next 2 years to study visual communications. Any way the "out treatment" program I'm in is called project return and there are some very talented people I work with so maybe I'll do up some pretty paints in the future and post them here I have a few on stand by that I am going to try and sell, again not the best, but it's defiantly good therapy.
