The Artwork of Travis Trium Perfectum
I recently sat down with Canvas Rebelย to discuss the risk of being an artist and my journey to this point. I get into my process, the way I view the creative experience and why I do what I do. I was pleased with the conversation and feel like I always learn a little more about myself with these questions of introspection. I hope you enjoy this look into who I am and what I do.

It's my birthday and I've reached the 35th chapter of a life I continue to take more and more control over. That's the key to happiness, do what you love as much as you can and don't let this life dictate shit to you. Do what you want and challenge yourself continually and you'll achieve the utmost pride and pleasure.

This upcoming year, even with the obvious circumstances, I plan on making the most of the time......
On this day, my birthday, July 14th, every year I usually take a little time to reflect on the year that was and decide if I accomplished what I set out to do. This was one of the few years I can look back fully satisfied with everything that I have done.

I hear a lot of people say and hope that they touch people and change them with their work and I always seem to conclude that I really don’t think I care if I do. People tell me that my work has changed their perspective on things or stirred a certain mood within them, which...
Today is my birthday and I always have a strong feeling towards self-reflection on this date. I know this year will be a very special one for me. I always say that art is just capturing fleeting moments and this year I will be capturing a moment that has eluded me. I have wanted and...
“Life, for someone like me, will always be a struggle. There’s no safety net for what I do and who I am and I like it that way.” Being born into a world I rarely agree with is exhausting and because of that, I have a constant pressure to create my own. I don’t remember...
As I look at myself closely, I see exhaustion. Not the exhaustion that I hate, but the kind that I respect. My ideas, thoughts and emotions are dictating to me what is expected and that can always be an overwhelming experience. I stare at my lips and see evidence of the poisonous remnants of the...
“My words are dangerous. Not just to me, not just to the way you think, but to conventions that don’t deserve to stand if words can make them break.” My words are dangerous. Not just to me, not just to the way you think, but to conventions that don’t deserve to stand if words can...
“The pen glides so smooth, yet the words come out so jagged. I kept time by the thoughts that filled up my books. Marking passages and marking flesh. I could only tell time by linking it to emotions and while I dwelled in the diseased ponds of my paragraphs, it still felt like no time...
