Struggling Writer Spends His Days Drinking And Making Disturbing Drawings About Contemporary Life

The Artist here will not be named for reasons I cannot understand. All I can say is that he's a young American man living in Germany and gets by as a bartender and cook. He wants to be a writer and claims he wrote a book but won't talk much about it. As for the creative process in making these macabre images, he says he'll write until he can't anymore due to sadness and exhaustion and then makes the drawings in a bar around the corner as a means to drain himself. It seemed as though he was constantly under the influence. All in all he was a very peculiar guy but clearly knew his stuff.

When asking if he could explain the specifics in some of the pieces, he replies that he simply wanted to illustrate the world as he saw it. When I asked for him to go into further detail, he refused. I guess I'm lucky that he said that much on account that he wouldn't even tell me what his writing was about.

If you ask me, these works of art are a warning to how society mistreats its people and that more and more of us feel broken and shattered everyday with very little in the sense of coping mechanisms. I hope he never stops!
