Frisky Foxtrot is a lifelong creative and musician whose style reflects echoes of hyper-colored surrealism with a dash of horror. His first exploration of art came in the form of graffiti, but his formal art foundation began in high school by getting accepted into a public school for the arts for “non-traditional music” aka Rock N Roll. There he played in bands, learned audio engineering, song writing, dabbled in photography, drawing, and videography. Shortly after high school, he became a father and didn’t touch a guitar or do a drawing for many years. Then with the advent of Midjourney, Frisky found himself a relatively early adopter of this new art form (June of 2022 MJ v2) wherein he found the tool that could finally express the weirdness hidden in the dark corners of his mostly stable brain. Having had 3 heart surgeries for a congenital heart disease and his unmanaged ADHD, his spirit reflects that of a rescued Labrador, taking no moment for granted and happily making friends wherever he goes. If asked to sum up his creative message in a single sentence: “Embrace the chaos and find the beauty in it.”

Trust in me, I'll show you the way,
Let those fears of loss go stray.
I will take you, and make you, and brighten your path,
But now you must do all that I ask.
Trusting me, now you will see,
All the things they can not be.
A life fulfilled with greatness of being,
Glimpses of all that is ever worth seeing.
All I ask is that you come bearing,
Your soul and spirit, in turn you’ll get caring.
A love that devotion self-curates,
And hunger for life that won't satiate.
Too much junk in the brain bowl, time to factory reset the device. A medley of messy thoughts strewn about in an attempt to make some sort of sense of it all.

All that sketchy smoke you’ve inhaled, every fleeting moment of supposed elevation, it all accumulates. Was it worth it? I sure hope so. You know the old saying, when life hands you oranges, light em up ;)
