Sold.

I don't actually remember painting this, ,though I am pretty sure it was me. I was in the midst of the chaotic struggle of survival in 2002 through some rather bizarre and fascinating - and also terrifying - bipolar effects (see the bipolar and Paul) page.

I don't remember who I sold it to or where either.

It was pretty much pure invention, I believe, and is an example of what I can do even through the midst of psychosis.

Psychosis is a scary word, but what it means is any severe form of mental disturbance. Which also sounds scary. Well it is, but not for the people around me so much as for me personally.

I'm not dangerous or even creepy, just pretty much continually freaked out. Bipolar is very simple in this manner - it is not an illness which leads to violence (certaiinly not in my case).
