My Alter Ego … or the struggle the find myself

Alter Ego

24″ x 24″
Oil on MasoniteAn alter ego (Latin, “the other I”) is a second self, a second personality or persona within a person. It was coined in the early nineteenth century when schizophrenia was first described by early psychologists.[1]The term alter ego is commonly used in literature analysis and comparison to describe characters who are psychologically identical, or sometimes to describe a character as an alter ego of the author, a fictional character whose behavior, speech or thoughts intentionally represent those of the author.

The characters Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde in Robert Louis Stevenson’s thriller Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde represent an exploration of the concept that good and evil exist within one person, constantly at war. Edward Hyde literally represents the doctor’s other self, a psychopathic being unrestrained by the conventions of civilized society, who shares a body with the doctor.

Real Exposure

Real Exposure Originally uploaded by joeyhavlock I still really enjoy this piece alot. The time period around me was intense in1995. I was living in Times Square on 23rd Street and 7th Avenue at the time. Originally the name for this piece came first. The name Real Exposure was the name of a modeling agency me and my uncle were going to create. Well, we never created the modeling agency but the name stuck with me and eventually I created a large online BBS system called Real Exposure. I created this painting as a visual to attach to this online beast that grew from nowhere. That is a whole different adventure to reflect upon later. This 30″ x 40″, oil on canvas painting was the end result of an absolutely wild adventure searching for Real Exposure.
