An Introduction & Art By Randall Klopping
Spacial Rift –05112007 - Dust & gasses swirling about as they bleed through this rift in space from another universe. Though in the middle of a large void, a Solar Mage has already begun weaving a new star.
My name is Randall Klopping and I would like to show you some of my art. Because I live with both mental & physical disabilities, life for me is very difficult, so I would like to apologize in advance if I do not get to reply to your comments or emails quickly. I try to work as hard as I can each day creating new art, trying to find places to show it so people looking for art can see it and trying to do the best I can communicating with people. From what I've read many choose art according to the artist personality as well as the art. I don't pretend to be anyone fancy or special, I just try to do the best I can and to make sure my art is the best I can make it.
Entering the art world seems a difficult task for almost every artist. For me it is doubly so! I try to study and learn about it but I have a lot of problems with reading comprehension at times. It seems to be very much dependant on Art Shows, Exhibitions and Galleries, which I simply have no money for entry fees or to have prints made to show. I rob part of my grocery budget each month to pay for the membership at Imagekind.com in hope of being able to start to earn some money. While I get full SSI it isn't enough for things like modifying my shower with safety handles, repairs to my truck, paying for someone to help me with cleaning, much less investing in rebuilding my life. I only make it each month with help from my parents, my best friend and my parents' church. My life is constant turmoil and I just want so much to have the dignity of earning my own way in life again! Before I got physically disabled as a passenger in an auto accident, I always managed to a fair degree despite my mental disabilities and that is why I work so hard now.
