My Bio
One of my favourite quotes I'd like to share:

"There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable it is, nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open...

"No artist is pleased....There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others."

-Martha Graham to Agnes de Mille, Martha: the Life and Work of Martha Graham

(Read on page ix of the great George Carlin's book 'Brain Droppings')

Hello there! I am going to have a new account with a proper name, which will be mainly focusing around digital art, as that is an area I have been interested in for a while now. I am only taking a selected few of my pieces from the past with me. The rest will be all progress. I will still be checking and randomly uploading on here from time to time (as I found out I can't delete the account anyway), in case you want to send me a note regarding my new main account. If you've been watching me I will send you a note in case you want to continue doing so. Thanks to everyone for being part of the journey so far, Yours, J.P.

Hey you, Thanks for dropping by and looking at the few pictures i've uploaded so far... will upload more soon (creative phase at the moment from the looks of it ;) ), and edit the profile and all that when i feel like doing so. Also thanks for comments, favs, adding my pictures elsewhere or simply taking a look at them :) I don't really like the fact that one can't delete neither a profile nor a comment on here (not because i don't like criticism, on the contrary... but i don't like things to be set in stone, so to speak) so i'll say Thank You this way. Or write you a note. But rest assured i'll read all of that and smile :) If you have a

I really enjoyed looking through your gallery. You have wonderful talent and I wanted to thank you for sharing it. :D
Thank you very much! That made me feel very motivated to keep it up :)
Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you, for the favorite. Great drawings. :)
Thank you too.. :) You're very welcome.
hey, I really appreciate the faves, but could you please not fave&run?
As you upload work yourself, I'm sure you understand that it's much more constructive when people actually comment. thanks.
Hey there,

The fact that I added your photograph to my favourites is to be seen as a statement that I enjoyed looking at it.

I know that artists such as yourself appreciate comments which contain constructive criticism, because it helps you get better at what you do, but I don’t think I have enough technical knowledge about photography to give you any valuable advice.

As for simply expressing that I liked it (aside from a merely technical point of view) – I thought and think that adding it to my favourites would suffice to express exactly that. That is a statement in itself in my opinion, and I take it as such when someone adds anything I have uploaded to their favourites.

If someone wants to spend their time on verbally expressing what specifically a piece of art evoked in them that is a really kind thing to do and truly appreciated, but I don't think one should insist on them doing that.

That being said, there was not much more to say about your photo other than that I liked it, and I thought that was obvious. In case that didn’t come across you know it now.
