This is a two part blog posting, first focusing on Gemma Smith and the following will be Sharon Ep1c Live painter. Both of these girls have wicked unique style, and let what society would call flaws push them towards pursuing their art. Both are currently offering to share their art and it currently on sale. Continue reading for how you can contact these alternative artist to help bring their art into your life. I ask a series of question to both artist to analysis the simularities and common features between these two. They consisted of the basic ''who, what, when, where, and how.'' Gemma answered in point form, as she was working on a design for a tattoo. She refused to send me a digital format to respect the one who comissioned it, as it is to remain a truely unique piece.
I met Smith years ago, when I followed one of my college classmates during a visit. I was instantly charmed with her ability to fuck up any cell phone in her position and her love of videogames. It was obvious at first glance that her creative nature was waiting to explode out of her like the byle and dinner of underaged drinker. What I lacked knowledge was just how real her art was.
Before I continue this analysis of Smith's art I must warn the reader of my opinion, in hopes it prepares the individual of the content I am about to express: Gemma is a resourful chick who strives to express individuality using her creativity, and her obsessive attention to detail. Most of her portfolio so far was to express herself in constructively twisted and masochistic fashion. The word Masochist is even carved up on her back. Needless to say, I fell in love with her artistic style.

When I asked who inspires her art, she answered: ''There is no who.'' Smith expresses herself and her emotions, ''usually my rage and despair,'' and transmits this expression on paper. Her favorite piece is a painting of an eye she created ''a year or so ago.'' She used the most available resource she had, the kind that runs through her viens. If you don't believe me, see for yourself. On her blog she has posted portraits, one recently done of herself, in blood. The link will be provided for you at the end of this post.
Smith finds her productivity in her own environment, ''alone at home, hanging out with (her) cats,'' with the aid of some background noise. A piece is complete when she takes a look at it, and feels there is nothing missing to it. ''Im a bit of a perfectionist and have been known to start from scratch if im even the slightest bit discontented with the out come.'' No wonder she is getting commissioned for tattoo conceptual art.
When I asked Smith how she wishes her art fo affect people she answered that the only hope she had is to reveal beauty ''beyond imagination'' in the grotesque. ''I wish for them to see that no matter how hideous and disturbing the things inside your head can be, expressing them can be beautiful beyond imagination.''
Gemma Smith is currently expanding in her art, and he pieces are getting sold as you read this. She is available for commission, and was currently working on a tattoo piece at the time of the interview. I'm pretty sure she is done, so go check out the results following these links. Next post, read about Shanon and my comparison between her and Gemma's art.
