The Art of Joseph A. Wraith

King Raze - The Monsterlings 2017 Copyright Joseph A. Wraith    My brain, my brain, my brain, it wont let me go to sleep.  It just keeps me awake giving me all of it's so-called plans and demands. It's always telling me what to do like I don't have a choice. "Hey you, get up I got an idea!" It says to me at 3:30 am.  Well I wont take it anymore!  I'm going to build a wall around it and it's going to be beautiful, and I'm going to make all my bad ideas pay for it!  I wont let anymore wild and crazy ideas in unless they are extremely vetted of course.  Especially at 3:30 am.  I just wont stand for it!   If only being a Hyper-creative were that easy.  It's a persistent problem that I actually enjoy, yet hate at the same time.  I enjoy the fact that creative ideas flow through my head all times, I just wish they wouldn't wake me up at 3:30 am gnawing and clawing at my skull for freedom.

Galaxy Ursus 2017 Copyright Joseph A. Wraith    I believe 2017 is going to be a very productive year.     A year where at first a lot will happen very fast and then things will slow a bit and mellow.    As a professional artist and illustrator I have combined my passions into a way of life and a way to support myself doing what I love to do everyday.   I'm not saying it isn't full of challenges, because it is.   Change is a big challenge and we all have to submit to change because if we don't we will go the way of the dinosaur.   Those who stand in the way of change often find themselves in the middle of a drowning flood, you either have to sink, or swim by then.   For me I'd rather sip my Pina Colada from an inner-tube floating down that river of change than trying to swim through the speeding rip currents in the other direction. As an artist I do my best not to get caught up in religion and politics, I feel it only defeats my creativity and bores the he
