Add me if you'd like, I'd love it if you did, will be keeping this account for posterity, but not updating it.

Also, does anyone know if I have to delete things from here if I want to upload them on my new one?
Love to all,
Taylor

...I mean seriously, I have works on here dating back to July 2004, I think I might make a new account and either put only new things up or add a couple of my old faves. Plus I'm sick of the name of this account...
I think if I have somethign new to play with (possibly a premium account too) I will be more inspired to frequent it and drive my creativity.
Opinions???

...let's just keep dancing and forget it all...

Darkness descends upon my soul today, I can't think a good thought, I can't even think straight. I know I sound really melodramatic but I honestly can't help it now. And it is all thanks to some bastards who decided it would be fun to talk to a pair of goths for a while, then turn on them, beat the hell out of the boy and when the girl stepped in to try and beg them not to hurt him they attacked her ruthlessly, jumping on her head at one point. The boy survived barely, but the girl, Sophie Lancaster fell into a coma, hung on for two weeks of pain and finally gave up, dying on this day one year ago, and all because the couple were different, not by race, religion or anything, they just belonged to a different subculture. This is the most terrible example of something that happens all to often, personally I have been shouted at, treated like hell and been attacked just for being who I am. This murder strikes me so close to home because it could have easily happened to one of my close friends and I do not know what I would do if it did, I have already had to deal in my life with people close to me being blooded and broken just because they were different.
I never knew Sophie but her death hit me deep inside and on this, the anniversary of her death I look at the world and see nothing has changed, it sickens me that people are protected if they are different in any way (religious, different sex, disabled, foreign, gay, etc) but not if they are of a different subculture, where is the sense in that, I have no more choice in my difference than someone of a certain religion or sexual orientation, I know because I have tried to force myself to be "normal" and it does not work, I know I am different and I should be allowed to celebrate it without fear of being a victim of prejudice.
Currently I am so ridiculously mad at the world I don't know what to do, I'm so torn between anger and violent depression, the pain is immense.

I urge anyone who doesn't know much about this to look up more and to at least think about this atrocity and lament on this most unholy day.

So, I have put a few new pictures up, playing with acrylics. Hope you all enjoy them. Life's not been too bad and I'm feeling pretty inspired, more should follow relatively soon.

As I constantly complain about I can never get good photos of my work with my camera, but will enlist some help when I get the chance to and should hopefully get some pics of my work that don't ruin the colour balance or make them shine like the sun.

Hope everyone is well,
Love to all,
Taylor
