Abstract Graphic/Optical Illusions

    Hello all.

    Suppose i should say that im not intrested or sparked by much art at all, but i do draw and would like to become an artist. What i mean, is that i respect other artists and do look at new stuff but painting and pictures dont do anything for me nor do they, spark a deep emotion in me or even rub of on me. I've found now, that over time, i gain nothing from other artists.
    The type of art that does trigger a reaction in me. is optical illusion art. So anyone that has this kind of work please pm me, as i am very intrested in seeing this form of art.

    What do i do?

    Well i suppose its a cross between Graphic and Abstract, and turns out to be a sort of optical illusion only its not as simple as most optical illusions u see on the net. There is no formula or style to it at first because as most people have said it looks like mayhem.
    But what i do specialize in, is drawing very very small pictures that when turned another way are something completly different. 1 picture is another 4 pictures and so, when i finish, say an A3 page, it looks like a mess but when seen through a keen and slow eye, you begin to see thousands of images basically everywhere and anywhere. What im told, is that the greatness of my work is in tricking people into believing that theres nothing there. But when you do see something, like a hand, a face or sunset, it may not have been my intent on making it at all.
    In other words there are things only i can see and there are things only you can see. Which is what makes me want to draw so much. I try to use some of the hardest things to draw with to help myself gain a steadier hand, like Biro or just pens in general, unfortunitly i gave or sold most my early work already before i could record them.
    Atm im drawing some intense pencil designs, more complex and more intricked than my last work, also with pencil i find i get more accuracy and attention to detail is far better than with pens, so much of the new pictures are more fine and clean cut giving it a much nicer look from far away. Altho this has made the images alot harder to see and sometimes even makes them invisible to myself.

    Im going to try set up a website so i can show my art work and perhaps try and make some sort of a living from it, hopefully i get lucky and can live my dream of drawing enough art to live on (But prolly wont happen)

    Anyway now that you know a little about me and what i do i was wondering would anyone be intrested in seeing some art and maybe commenting on my work? I will try within the next two weeks to get my website up and running and hopefully with that be able to post up some of my work. I know theres not many people intrested in this kind of art work but im hoping to gain a some good advice from other artists and other art lovers.

    If you have any drawings of this nature please do link me them, would be well intrested in seeing it.

    Thanks.
