I think It's high time most of you know a bit more about me. I'm not only an aspiring artist/comic book creator but I'm also An African American female who has Asperger Syndrome (A form of autism or as it's mostly known as "under the spectrum of the Autism umbrella").I am mostly laid back and try to be easy going but over the years of deal with the harassment and dismissive,and constant sarcastic behavior of others around me and the bullying and embarrassment they inflicted on to me,has left me moderately bitter and misanthropic. I don't trust others easy and my relationship with my relatives(A.K.A. my mother) is rather volatile. The only reason I'm writing is I think it's high time I get to say what I want and to express myself in a way I can offline. Besides having Asperger syndrome,I have possible O.C.D tendencies,depression,and trying not only to get over my sleep disorders but as well as getting over some self injury.
I received my G.E.D in August of 2005 and wanted to go to art school but since the stress and trauma of special Ed and busting my hump to earn a G.E.D left me with something know as "Interrupted sleep syndrome" and that's been one of the major things holding me from going to art school. I want to find a part time Job so I can earn some money of my own and find my own apartment. I live with my mother but,quite frankly I can do without her a her mood swings and her constant rhetorical question about me and my "always bumping heads with others" and then pretending that she never asked these questions and wonders why I'm "always angry" as she constantly puts it. (She was also had a big hand in I'm like this but when I try to talk about it she acts like it's the first time she's herd of this (she hasn't ) or gets very melodramatic and starts ranting and yelling and making me out to be her personal shrink.
I find art as an escape from most of my troubles or talking walks at the requests of my therapist and the less time I'm not with her or my other screwed relatives the better off I am. Well,enough of the depression stuff. On a brighter note I do enjoy writing stories(though I some times can't finish what I started).I love comedy movies,action adventure movies,anime,manga. I enjoy learning all I can about psychological disorders,and anything related to science, I like peace and quiet,being by myself and just doing what I like (going to my youtube or myspace page,trying to learn how to draw using photo-shop and listening to a wide range of music.)
I came to this place like most of you did:To have others see & appreciate my art. and see If I can get some constructive criticism while at the same time see others works of art and try to see if I'm capable of being as good as them (there are some very professional looking drawing and I can't help but be impressed).Well that's all I'm going to say. If you don't like what I've written about myself and think I'm some kind of freak or social outcast,fine by me but if your not bothered by what I've wrote then that's fine too.

Hello. I'm very, very, very sorry to hear about what's happened to you. I have to say that I can deeply sympathize about not fitting in. I myself lack social skills and am often labeled as wierd, a freak, or just someone not worth the effort. I am also an aspiring comic book artist and I am sure that your art will continue to grow and get better, Keep up the great work!

Thanks,your to kind. I hope that you also become a comic book artist & a success on at that!
As for me I hope my art gets better along the way,I sometime worry I'm not improving or that I should just give up.
but again I still draw because I if it helps me & it makes me happy... even if it's at most times in a small way.
I think your a pretty bright & sensitive & I wish you well.

We seem a lot a like. I have a social anxiety disorder and insomnia, so it was so hard for me to go to school. I stopped going last month (grade 12 year), because I couldn't take it anymore, (couldn't stand the people, and some teachers were singling me out and purposefully marking my things low), and my relationship with my parents isn't great either(my mom is an alcoholic). It's not even close to being what your going/gone through, but I think I can empathize on some level.
I like your art, there is good harmony and color in it. There is a lot of emotion in it, and I can't even seem to put emotion into my stuff.

Hi Kentcharm, sorry if you find this rude, me butting in on a conversation like this, but I was so sorry to hear of what you (and Tuntun) have been through, and, to some extent, can also empathise, having an ex-alcoholic and anorexic mother, mild Asperger Syndrome and a boringly long string of health problems. I hope things improve for both of you.
Your artwork's stunning, I have no idea how you achieve that level of realism and life... :)

Thanks. I'm sorry to hear about your situation.
I can empathize with you as well though I mostly likely should update my profile since I moved from my home town in N.Y to North Carolina, I wasn't my chose & it a long complicated story( which involves my mother who I'm still pissed at but I won't bore you with the details.)It's been a few weeks since I came here and am still adjusting to the new house & everything else.
But getting back to you & your art. I like it. You like so many other artists I've added to my list of favorites are very gifted & you should continue to draw. I find it rather therapeutic.
And yes I can understand teachers acting like complete bastards towards students who are doing their best to learn,and giving lower marks based on the fact that the teacher dislikes a student is not only the mark of a piss poor excuse of an educator but isn't it also against school rules to do that?
If you don't mind is it alright if I offer a suggestion?
I know you said you dropped out of the 12th grade last month which I can understand believe me I wanted to not go to school and deal with those little monsters,but if your ever interested you can always consider getting a G.E.D .
It's pretty much the equivalent of a high school diploma & while studying for it is very hard once you pass the test you can leave high school a lot faster,Though you might want to look into the detail for more info since it's been about four years since I Got it.Trying to remember all the details is sort of fuzzy but if you are interested check the net for some information if you should ever want to get a G.E.D.
I hope I'm not coming off as pushy this is just a suggestion I wanted to offer so I hope I'm not being a royal pain.
Feel free to chat with me if you want. I hope your situation improves & I wish you much luck.

Thank you:) Yeah I probably will look into getting my GED soon.
And as far as the teachers go, I went to the principal and told him my concerns, and he told me to 'get over it' and 'confront the teacher myself'. I gave up at the point, I've had so many shootty teachers. (Two years ago my chemistry teacher, FOR NO REASON, phoned my friends mom and told her I was a bad influence on her daughter and that I was 'frankly a dog'. Can you believe it?! Well...she had to switch high schools after that, but I think she should have been fired...)
ahh now I'm just ranting! Thanks for adding me to your favorite artists! :)
