What I'm about as of Now

I'm Jared E. Jennings. I'm here now in my Junior year working towards my Com Art degree. My work has been based mostly on the complexity of the human brain. Our processing power is far greater then any other species of animal on the planet. A long with that we have more motor functions allowing for more coordination. Everything that humanity has come to be in this day and age is because of how the brain works after millions of years of evolution.

Lately I've been more interested in the deflects that accrue. My family has a history of Schizophrenia and Alcholism. My focus for my current work is Schizophrenia thought being that I'm a very likely carrier. So I want to further understand how Schizophrenia works beyond my own experience. I'm trying to produce work that shows what a person suffering from Schizophrenia goes through while trying to convey how causes the deflect.

Artist that I look towards for inspiration are Dali, Durer, Jim Warren, Thomas Hart Benton, Lenora Carrington. I'm more taken in by Surrealism and Expressionism then any other art movement because to me it takes in the human imagination much more then any other art movement.
