Hello, I had been trying to decide what to paint for quite some time... several months in fact! I originally wanted to paint something meaningful and fitting with the global humanitarian theme. I started to paint the earth and realized that it wasn’t very original so I completely started over. For the second try I decided to paint Noah’s Ark, but I maxed out the number of brush strokes that could be saved, probably due to the play back function and how much detail I was trying to put in it. So, again I was struggling with what I should paint when it came to me. Literally, my daughter ran into the room and started to climb me like a monkey in a tree... so I decided to paint her. What brings more joy to people everywhere? What’s worth preserving our planet for? Why should we donate to a charity? Who do we trust our future with? The answer is... our children!

A full size version (1741 X 754 pixels) is available under my profile by clicking the MySpace/website link. You will also find a 3D version of the Noah’s Ark and the Earth images that I didn’t end up painting here.
Thanks,
Jason |

| I don't want this to ever be finished, I just want the picture to keep changing and going on as long as I can keep it up. Its basically stream of consciousness, me trying to draw out what I think and feel at a certain moment when ever I feel like expressing something to someone. So, it takes in a lot of things that I experience in my life, I live on lake Erie and use to watch the sunsets then stay there for hours, sometimes catch a storm rolling in from the north, I wish I could draw those kinds of things for everyone, spread the memories around. Other things in the picture are just random, me getting bored then showing whatever I'm looking at, hence the mouse... suddenly can't think, ending it here. |

| My pic is about trying to get away from something that just sticks to you. No matter how many times you try and run you always get put back from what you are running from. yeah its deep but its cool. |

I wanted to try a picture that contrasts black with bright colors. I had just come back from the dentist and teeth were on my mind.  I made a snail because I wanted something different. |

Ah..our picture was born out of personal experience. Its a philosophy we came up with after going through things together. Its about two opposites that aren't exactly opposite, in fact they are two things that complement each other. Its about the fact that there's no affection in love that's abused & we believe that strongly. After all no relationship should ever be influenced. It should be influential for others! !
Tell us what you think of our picture via here: http://www.millionmasterpiece.com/viewthread?forum_id=3&thread_id=994 or http://www.millionmasterpiece.com/profile-367194
What's your picture about?

| Well, the name of my square is capricious and that is what I am sometimes. I'm here and there, everywhere, anywhere... but in a positive way and always happy and sanguine. |

Mine is just me moving the mouse around and clicking. At the end I just gave it an emo title so that it may annoy people. |

Emo .
Not much of a backstory to mine. I just felt like drawing two completely opposite towers. One of typical Stone with a red glow and one of Blue energy. I also felt like having a dark backdrop with ominous cliffs in the background... no idea why. |

If you've watched the playback of my video, it's pretty clear that I didn't start with what I've developed into doing and will do for the rest of this piece. Not many of them had any meaning behind them.
The couple was just a sketch I did after seeing a couple just like them (in the way they acted, not how they looked) and I just felt like I could watch them for hours, it filled my heart to see them so happy. The next part was just mindless adding to it.
The next image with any meaning behind it is the cry in the dark. For English class, we had to write something autobiographical, and when it was time to hand in our drafts we were all swapping each others stories. And then I got his. It was titled 'Cry In The Dark So They Don't See The Tears'. And while I read it, my heart almost broke on his behalf. I got home that day and did the picture immediately.
Then finally I have the first of my current drawings- the moonwalker. This was just mindless drawing, barely paying attention to what I was drawing. SO you could say that it was my thoughts.
The rest of them can vary- some, like the dual-coloured one and the moonwalker are jsut concepts and thoughts that came to me while mindlessly doodling. Others, like the blue fire-wielding one, hold more personal origins- I have pyrophobia so bad I can't hold a match and I'm uncomfortable being in the kitchen when the stove is on. The blue one peering through the glass is the main character of a story I am developing and hold close to my heart. My latest one, the falling manikin, is how I've been feeling lately- up and down and all about, not sure if I'm rising or falling. Yes, I've been PMSing lately, why do you ask?
Hehe, I've babbled on enough. The radio is playing 'You're so Vain'- how fitting. At any rate, you're rid of me now.
Cheers,
Courtney |

Mine sprung up from a poem I wrote about how so many people (mainly teenagers) are medicated due to mental health isssues when they don't need to be. Anti-depressants don't cure depression, they just pospone itich means the core to your sadness is still unresolved. No one knows you better than yourself. You have to dig yourself out of your own mental torture. It takes time and effort but its worth it. Pills are NOT a quick fix to all your troubles, they just dig them deeper below the surface. But yes.. that is what my square of squareness is about =] Your mind is a delicate, complex thing, its where every bit of what makes you you lies, it needs taking care of, not clogged with unnatural chemicals that numb your whole being.
And stuff and things and blahdeblahblah, I wont go further, but you get my point. now that strikes up something interesting.. i really like that response. i have a few friends who have been on anti-depressants or have just been put back on it and i cant stop thinking if there could be another way. i too think that anti-depressants isnt always the answer.. its just a quick fix to problem that parents or doctors can only think of.. anyways..
WOW.
Yes and no. I don't think antidepressants are a quick fix, although they have the impression to be. And I think in a lot of cases, they just don't work at all. Sadly, people may rely on them due to the psychological thought that they 'might' help (not without its irony then). Placebo effect can be a powerful thing - and no A-d's never worked for me. And if they "appear" to be working, on a level, doctors then think, why change it. Unfortunately as mentioned, the problems remain the same unless worked through, or another way is approached - in my own personal view.
I do think that docs have begun to cotton on to this now, as the increase of mental illness puts pressure on their already full workload. And also due to the rise in numbers of people suffering, maybe they are just taking it more seriously now. But agree, not good to put too many chemicals on/in you, if you have the choice (mind you deodorant is handy from time to time). 
Mine - I have no baby pictures, being adopted at 2 years old. So it's just a question - what did I look like as a baby?
Did I look like this? |

Now that I've changed my image, I've got a new backstory!
And sadly enough, Mark Watkinson hit it right on the money when he said I'd been listening to too much Yes. I was listening to a prog rock radio station, and the music made me think of this kind of interesting idea... Why don't I write an epic poem?
It began with this girl hearing a song coming from the stars. (Pretty sure I pulled that straight from whatever I was listening to at the time.) Then the song grew unbearable, until a star fell from the sky. Since I was already on a roll with weird ideas, I decided that it should be a spaceship, inside which was a radiant starbeing. After that it collapsed into blatant allegory, about prophets and world peace and things like that.
The poem really hasn't gone anywhere, but the story stuck. My little square on the OMM is the current incarnation of this way out there tale.
And to add to the anti-depressent discussion: I've found that things like that do more harm than good. I have awful ADHD, so I started taking medicine for it again this school year. It helped me focus alright... but it also destroyed my creativity and made me depressed for about a month. I'm not sure how much this applies, but I stopped taking it and looked within myself for the ability to focus. After that, my inner peace returned. |
