I might be seen as many things. Cocky, arrogant, confident, attention-whore, laid back, uncaring. loud. vulgar. I can be too much for a lot of people. I can push too far, press at boundaries that shouldn't be hassled, simply to push the limits. People can get offended, but they don't always show it, and I can't always catch it to apologize in time.

We don't always look the same when we're not in the spotlight. No matter how strong we are, or how strong we seem. Everyone always has a vulnerable side.

Deep down, on the sidelines, or up in front. Everyone just wants to be liked.

Art by  mahrkale

Very sweet, almost sad. Very different from the usual art I get. Back turned to the audience, no larger than life pose or attitude. Looks almost sad or lonely at whatever is happening to his left, gazing forlorn into the distance, but above all. I'd say this is the only picture to ever show any sense of vulnerability. but this is exactly the reason why I don't like telling artists exactly what to do. Sometimes they see more than you expect.
