I am a native Houston artist whose psychedelic symbolic work concerns mental illness, philosophy, religion and skepticism. Perhaps my style can be referred to as Metaphysical Psycho-Symbolic Surrealism, but then again, maybe not. I was voted the Houston Press readers choice best artist for 2007.
Just a thought to provide a forum. Anyone who has been involved with mental health issues, i.e. major depression, suicide, schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder, etc. or any other internal demons, regarding their artistic process, are invited to please share their experiences to assist anyone else who might be going through a similar struggle.

THAT IS AWESOME! CAN I REQUEST A SIGNED PIC OF IT SO I CAN PUT IT IN MY PHOTO ALBUM? YOU RRROCK!
I COULDN'T PASS UP THE PHOTO OP OF THE BIRDS ON THE RESERVED PARKING SIGN.
Jeff, If not on the second Saturday, then maybe the White Linen night in the Heights. I joined with H Gallery, though I'm still trying to figure out why a struggling artist would pay so much to sell so little. I hope it pays off in ways other than $$$$$. Al
