Shine on you crazy Diamond

its been awhile since I really posted anything of substance. sure some art, pieces in progress, but even then I've sort of gotten behind the 8-ball because the new facebook fan page(www.facebook.com/sorianoart). The reality is I have sort of had a smal case of artists block, or at least things not going my way

After 3 or 4 straight pieces that I loved I hit a wall with some new stuff. And a certain night the other day with a run in caused me to, shall we say, get a little wild on a pieces and essentially destroy it. And while thats pretty cool conceptually, its led to diffaculties painting what I see onto the canvas.

Cure for that? New music, and a new process. I downloaded Pink Floyd's "wish you were here" album, and ode to former guitarist Syd Barret, who quite literally fell into madness. The kicker, he was a painter first and foremost. The dark, ambient, melodic sounds and 15 min long tracks were able to put me in a mindset away from rage and more into darkness. And since, things have been working. Late nights, some smokes, vodka, the floyd and paint on old canvas's has led to some new works just being fleshed out. Wait and see.

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun
Now theres a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky
