For near ten years I have gone under the alias "Yellow Fiv3" or "Yellow-five". When I chose the name, no lie, I chose it off the back of a Surge bottle. Also I was a very angry child back then, I really liked that people had such a worry and fear about the food coloring yellow #5, so I chose the name. Then I came up with a mascot for the name, a decrepit sacred heart. Everything was built off a negative connotation. My art was always very violent through out a lot of high school and even as I look back on a lot of my pieces you can see this angst filled person. It is no longer a name I am proud of, it gets too many questions about what it means etc.. gets annoying.
It has been a marker to the roller coaster my life was. I admittedly viewed it as a martyred name. It is important to hold on to our past as lesson we can learn from not as a model to our former selves. Considering I no longer think that the name suits the path my life is going to take, I am changing the name, getting a new account, all that fun stuff.
So I will still be doing art, just under a new name.

Stay Tuned
