Artist's Comments

So it's been awhile for a digital piece, hope you like it =D


As a once psychology major, I was intrigued by Freud's theory on the id and ego of the human psyche. It has been many years since those classes so my words may be somewhat off. But this piece is a self representation (aren't they all?) of myself and how the "id" and "ego" play in our life decisions.

We all seek pleasure and that constant feeling of euphoria, and our "id"'s only goal is to achieve those feelings without worry or care about the consequences of such actions. It is our "ego" that keeps the "id" in line, allowing us to think before we act, and to be able to foresee what may come of this pleasure seeking.

It is a constant battle that wages on beneath our skin and sometimes the "id" overcomes. Some choose to live only by the "id"s bidding and never realize the destruction they leave behind when seeking their pleasures. I have been through that lifestyle once, and as much as I enjoyed such pleasures in bountiful amounts....the aftershock of those actions can still be felt today.

I like to keep my ego and id as happy as possible. Best way forward in my opinion.

We were recently discussing the roles of the id and ego in my morality class. Awesome piece!

Wonderful outcome. I really like the meaning in this one, especially your interpretation, but I was wondering what became of the superego?

Oops sorry! But a chance to catch the great Shawn Coss... how could I pass it up?
Anyway, we'll just say the large being is the superego. ;)
