I have a question for those who make so called "Dark Art".

A. Do you just gather some freaky images, throw some blood and skulls in and really don't think about it that much?

B. Do you just wan't (pretend) to be a freaky person to scare people off?

C. Do you consider it to be self-examination to get out of this darkness so you can evolve?

My explanationis; as i am asking you i feel i owe you that;
Dark art for me is not to scare other people or to be different. I guess my drawings became somewhat darker when i started with the search for the inner-self (and i have seen some way more darker stuff then mine).
When we as humans start to take that path to the inner-self the day to day thinking, wich for a lot of people contain fears and obsessions in different forms, is the biggest obstacle for reaching that point.
So it was and still is for me, but drawing helps to give these fears and obsessions a face. So for me it is C.

I' very corious about the 'honoust' awnsers that you will give.

Thanx

C, no doubt :thumbsup:
I am no expert, but I believe that like any art form the Dark Art is a phenomenon perhaps more intimate and social than mere display of death or guts or oriental girls without pupils and long hair like the Great Wall of China... :)
I believe that each of us creates what wants to create, and what we create is a reflection of our state of mind, which is usually influenced by the sphere of our knowledge of the real world.
I think that an artist must leave a piece of his soul on paper, and if that soul is dark or clear and joyous as the sun does not matter.
...Goya is one of the first artists dark (I have seen the "Saturn devouring his children" and I swear that looks like a Huge and Intimidating Monstrosity in spite of its size not very big), but it's just my opinion and I'm just an art lover.


Or is it just a fad :O

I hope to be clear and forgive my bad English
