About Clockwork_Heartbeats:

Drawing, to me is this overpowering feeling at any given moment to put tools to paper and make a mark. It controls me and tells me what I should be doing, how to do it, and exactly what I'm aiming for.

My style is different. Most of it is odd and offset, but it's my own, so I accept it with a smile. I'm a high school senior who knows my heart is set on art to pave the path for my future.
I've always been the odd man out. I feel that maybe I have done this to myself on purpose, fearing faults within people. I'm finally realizing it's ok to accept them. Some of this is incorperated into my artwork. Quiet places inspire me. I'm never lonely when accompanied by myself. Sometimes things seem to be wrong, but if people only tried, they would find beauty.

Life has been slightly frustrating, but I'm not complaining. Without it I wouldn't be the person I've become. It would alter places that I am constantly drawing my inspirations from.

People say I'd be a good investigator due to the fact that I have an eye for details. My art entails a lot of the same qualities.

My signiture will normally be accompanied by the word "Panda". It has been this way since I was younger and it became my nickname. Friends figured that since I was pale from my irish decent and my hair was dyed black, it fit. Eventually that is what I became best known as. People said I was unique the way that Panda's were with their fight with extinction.

I am attempting to become better known. Any opportunity that presents itself to me is taken. I take my artwork seriously. Actually I'm a little afraid of selling my work. I become very attached to the things I create. I know I must break from this emotional habit to share a piece of me with the world. I have decided that now is the time.

I hope everyone finds a piece of something they appreciate in my work. Even if you don't buy anything, comments, critiques, and friendly conversation is greatly accepted and always appreciated.

Drawing is like clockwork to me, ticking away it's suicidal time bomb trying to race the speed of my heart. It captures my mind and encages it into a wonderful place where what I am doing matters, even if it may only be to me. Sharing with the world gives me goosebumps. It's the simple thought of knowing someone I have never been granted a glimpse of is appreciating and acknowledging, or even mocking, what I have produced from my own two hands. Love doesn't feel right to describe the emotion I receive and the expression in my art... there is no word in the English language that is severe enough to explain it.
