Like each years the mental disorder I suffer from shows up in automn. But it striked me faster and stronger than expected. It already made me fall on my knees and I have been very close to lose my life again. But I found answers. Everything is going a lot faster than 6 years ago.

Into the inferno, I saw who I really am. I'm the forces of the opposites.

creation vs destruction
female vs male
fears vs intensity
emotions vs logic
love vs hate

If only I knew how to reunites all this into a whole...
...I'll start to shine from the inside and my life will transform itself.

But for the moment, all I can do is trying to run faster than my destructive part, hoping that I'll always be faster than it.

EDIT: Many thanks for all your messages.

Results : (updated)
------------------
Option 2 and 3: 10
All 3 options: 8
Option 2 only: 5
Option 1 and 3: 4
Option 1 and 2: 2
Option 3 only: 1
Option 1 only: 0

The results is very interesting. It means that the personal part (therapy or hobby) into art is very important and only this will lead you into the profesional target. There is no profesional target witout the personal part.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How many of you are drawing because:

1/ you want to gain your life as an artist
2/ you like this, it's a wonderful hobby
3/ you can't do otherwise, it's a therapy
4/ other...

It's not very hard to guess that it's 3) for me. I wanted number 1) very hard and maybe one day I'll finally get it. It could be incompatible, life will tell me. But, the first real reason has always been number 3 for me.

After "Play the Lupin" who already brought some videoclips in differents styles, the Japanese-Canadian pop-rock band meet Lupin III in a videoclip promoting the new remix CD “Lupin the Third Dance & Drive”
