The Theme for My Site

All art is telling a story. As artists we are all storytellers in some way or another. Whatever look we try to portray we are attempting to give off a feeling in that particular project.
If you look at my current site at http://www.edgarovalle.com/, I tried to give people a glimpse of what my desk looks like at home. It’s messy and there are drawings everywhere. I am sure you have heard of the writer that is constantly scribbling prose down on pieces of paper that lay around all over the house. Well I do that and I also do that with images. I am constantly drawing.

I use to have stacks and stacks of drawing pads that were filled with ideas that I had for characters and stories. It got so bad that at one point I had very little space to walk around on my floor. My parents eventually told me I had to get rid of some of that paper. Doing so was the worst thing you could have said to me back then. I would have preferred to get spanked then to throw away my boxes and boxes of scribbles.

Whatever the case, what I am trying to convey is a process that doesn’t ever really stop for me. There’s new ideas and old ideas sitting everywhere together in my head and I tried to do that a little with the different ages of the paper. Everything exists at the same time for me in terms of art. I come up with something and later on I will bring it out and dust it off and maybe twist it or change it a little to allow it to assimilate to whatever I am doing at the time.
