It's not the component pieces that are confusing. What isn't clear is how they are related into a coherent idea.

Whose attention? Your attention? Our attention? Someone else?

Okay, you (or someone else) is hallucinating Japanese folklore?

and sober up..
Sober up from being crazy? From anti-craziness medication? From "self medication" taken due to craziness?

so what I can do for 15 dollars is customize these stars by painting in your name or what ever you want.. kind of like a war time novelty...
A Metallica lyric. Given the Metallica imagery, the "sober up" and "hallucination" comments, and the fact that you are selling paintings, I could conclude that...

You are in recovery, in an outpatient psychiatric program, and part of your therapy is doing this art?

Is that anywhere close? My point is that "Googling it" is zero percent effective in deciphering your posts.

P.S. I am sorry I made a joke about your painting. It's just that, it looks like you haven't studied art that much. To be honest it looks like you just slapped some paint on the canvas, because the colors are all smudged together and muddy, with big, obvious brushstrokes. That isn't what "painters" are doing when they paint. You have to put some thought into it. Kind of like composing sentences.

I'm sorry if this is difficult for you. I understand that you may be trying your hardest, and I apologize if I have contributed to an atmosphere of "making fun of" you. I honestly mean most of what I am saying to be useful as constructive criticism. I hope that your experience of posting here isn't a negative one.
