I'm Cachet, and I have made 20 rotations around the sun. I do my best to live by love, truth, and logic. Art is why I wake up in the morning.

“Before I Kill you”
Black Jack and Dr. Kiriko by Bunkosu, who is amazingly talented.
Took 5 tabs of acid (first time doing it ever) and my friend gave me a bunch of acrylic paint. Painted it with my fingers tripping out of my mind. Also I’m colorblind, and don’t work with abstract work at all (I only have ever done drawing). Thought this was pretty whacky.

I always flip my art around throughout the process, because seeing it from a different perspective really helps in noticing mistakes or other weird things! I do it on paper, too — I just flip the piece of paper around and hold it in front of a light.

Self Portraits of a Declining Brain
William Utermohlen is latest artist to be honored at the GV Art Gallery in London, with an event that has an emotional purpose that is near and dear to the hearts of many. Utermohlen spent the last twelve years of his life battling Alzheimer’s, a degenerative neurological disease that slowly took away his ability to do what he was most passionate about: his art.
At the event, his widow spoke to the many supporters, saying “He died in 2007, but really he was dead long before that. Bill died in 2000, when the disease meant he was no longer able to draw.”
This exhibit is known as William Utermohlen: Artistic decline through Alzheimer’s, as it explores the relationship between Utermohlen’s artwork and the progression and struggle with the disease.
Looking at his pieces as his disease progressed, a clear change is visible. As he slowly lost control over his movements, his composition and techniques changed as he was forced to abandon oils for easier-to-use watercolours and pencils. One thing that did not change throughout time, however, was the sheer mastery and vision displayed by has passion for the content of his pieces.
His paintings display a rarely seen insight into a mind effected by Alzheimer’s, as his struggle and frustration are imminent. Also changed by the progression of time and the disease were his subjects. He began to focus on self portraits and looming dark doorways in the backgrounds
His widow commented that, “it was as if he knew he was going to a very dark place and he knew he couldn’t do anything about it. By the end he couldn’t even recognise his own paintings… that was the saddest thing”.
Rarely does one get the opportunity to chronicle their own experience with mental decline. Even more rarely do we get to share and observe that troubled journey.
This art is that tale.
I’ll admit, as an artist, this freaks me out a little bit.

Like, JUST like him. Especially his eyes and smile. It’s scary. I must get pictures.
Oh I certainly do more than busts~! Just look through my DA gallery or tumblr and you’ll see I do lots of fullbody stuff. I’m pretty booked with work right now, but I hope to open again sometime in February.
Another bust commission…I really like how the lineart came out, so I posted that as well~
