Barrington Archibald Davenport IV's Journal [entries|friends|calendar] Barrington Archibald Davenport IV I’ve been working on a piece that speaks of sex and desperation. I’ve been screwing on the tracks of abandoned train stations. One, two, three, four. I got a dealer in Tokyo. I got a rep in Paris. I got an agent in cologne. Shit, I got a gallery in New York. It’s a mad house, this modern life. It’s a mad house, my faithless bride. navigation | recent friends info archive [ userinfo | insanejournal userinfo ] [ calendar | insanejournal calendar ]

He felt like he could change the world through it. "It relaxes me because it's just me and the canvas and there's no right way or wrong way." As a young boy, he was shy, withdrawn and introverted. He found solace in his sketch book, and art classes opened his eyes to a whole new world. In an effort to steer him away from his quiet nature, his parents forced him into many social events, including athletics. While Barrington was a natural athlete, an unfortunate accident during a lacrosse game cost him any future in sports. He withdrew even more after this. When he was in boarding school in New York, he met underclassman, Felicia Castille; he became her art mentor. She was a freshman, he was a senior. Even though he was shy and lacked confidence, he found his true escape with his friendship with Felicia. However, he was constantly bullied by his nemesis, Cole Cavataio. Although he never liked Cole he was a true friend to Felicia. Being there for her every time they broke up or had argued. This had caused Cole to hate Barrington more, Cole's bitterness for him was Cole believing Barrington had a 'thing' for Felicia. The relationship never went passed friendship for the two of them. They keep in touch as much as possible which brings Barrington to Chicago.
