Hi everybody! My name's JK and I'm a 22-year-old guy looking to make some friends and talk to people who understand shit deeply. I have PTSD (with a side helping of secondary psychosis), I'm on the autism spectrum, and I struggle with homicidal/suicidal ideation and disordered eating. I'm sadistic and masochistic to the extreme. I was a conduct disorder kid. I also love writing, drawing, and researching true crime. I'm in absolute love with my girlfriend of two years, although I won't talk about that much here because I'm protective of her and her privacy to the extreme. 

Don't be shy, come say hi. :)

Hello, nice to meet you.

Can I see your artwork? This intrigues me. I'm a painter, and most my work/research is about infectious disease and medical history. This can at times include crimes involving unethical human experiments. It's always interesting to come across another artist who works with graphic material.

Hey! Here's two of my older pieces (I'm throwing this up here mostly because my newer stuff is just raw sketches in a notebook since I've moved out of my parents' house and had to leave my old giant desktop and tablet behind; I'll have to take some iPhone photos of my newer stuff for you when I get the chance!). Also, I'm more of a writer than I am an artist. My writing is mainly mass murder, school shootings, and gang violence. 

(Graphic stuff below the cut.)

I'd love to see some of your art too.

Your first drawing made me think of a violent version of Henry Darger. Over the top in a good way.

That's my portfolio. Each image you see is a link to a mini-group of images. There's way too much to be displayed separately, have to consolidate space.

You can post new artwork in a blog post to share with people if you want, I often do that. There's an option to start your own gallery too, to host images and then link them in the blog.

Regarding the artwork, it is considered polite to put something like a trigger warning to content that may likely be upsetting or triggering to many.  This may be done with either a hidden cut, link to a page offsite, or our emoticon dead Fred TW :Trigger::Trigger:  :Trigger::Trigger: .  There are people here who may have experienced trauma or graphic violence (or witnessed it on the news recently) and seeing such a depiction could be pretty offputting or disruptive to their mental health.

Also, the tone of this site is intended to be recovery oriented.  You're welcome to speak freely and openly about such things a homicidal ideation as a symptom but posts that celebrate violence and are not focused on recovery may not be tolerated.    

I came across an artist, Noelle Mason, whose work discusses the phenomenon of terrorism.  Her work creates an interesting dialogue.  She did some needlepoint images based on video surveillance of columbine, which is sort of interesting with its relation to masculinity, pixelation, the media and availability of mass media, etc.

Welcome to CB.

Hey there! Thanks for letting me know. I put everything under a hidden cut, so no worries. 

I'd never heard of Noelle Mason before! I love that.

Holy shit, koa.

That is some EPIC cross stitch. Thanks for sharing.

 

narvesonpsycho, welcome to CB. I hope you find community here amongst the random nutters of the internet.

Came across the a few weeks back. Rougher style than the one you posted, but also fascinating.

Saintalto, I'm kind of fascinated with the "traditional feminine handicraft" aspect as a medium for showing violence and destruction.

This TED talk is about math and knitting/crochet, but also about how art depicting coral reef death lead to proving something mathematicians thought was impossible for a hundred years or so: http://www.ted.com/talks/margaret_wertheim_crochets_the_coral_reef?language=en

That's really neat!

A craft object I saw or read about once (i can't remember which), was a quilt that was comprised of the faces of missing children. I wish I remembered the artist. It was a really stunning piece. From being in art school for too many years now, I've seen a lot of traditional craft mediums appearing on the fine arts scene. They are used to great effect, in my opinion.

Hey, welcome! I'm pretty new, too. I'm also an artist. :) Thinking about starting an art board/topic for all of us expressive types if anyone (hopefully a mod or not a newbie) has a suggestion on how to do it!

If you don't already, check out Juxtapoz. I love these two, and they frequently have some "twisted" artists featured, like these two:
