Original Artwork by Eric Shetler (Insane E)
What is egounlimited???
Several years ago, I struggled to accept that my name would be Insane E forever, and so I started brainstorming ideas for what I would change my name to if I were to do so. Some of the ideas I had were as such; Alter Ego, E-Go, Egogh (like Van Gogh), MorphEus, and others. None of which really made me feel right. Ultimately I decided to keep the name Insane E, but I was a big fan of the concept of Ego in Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and started calling my self Ego, because he was a living planet and a cosmic entity, and I can relate lol. I changed it up to be E-Go as in "There E goes..." kind of tied in with limitless or "unlimited" like 'E goes unlimited' type thing. The arrow in the E on the logo pointing from left to right symolises forward progression no matter what. Then years later I was thinking that people will probably never get any of that and it just sounds like my ego is unlimited which is also true for everyone of us, but most people dont really understand what ego actually is. It simply means "sense of self." And that it doesnt always mean arrogant and selfish but also confident and proud, or at least loving my self enough to push my art into the world rather than dwelling on anything not looking or sounding right to anyone else, but always putting my heart and soul into the creation process to bring it all together full-circle while being both full of my self, and full of everything else in existence at the same time, while somehow managing to keep up with the mental issues I struggle with daily. It's a very fine line between arrogance and confidence, light and dark, good and evil, etc. I find my self as a little bit of everything and in turn, I end up always being a constant contradiction that doesnt quite fit in anywhere, but then, in turn, that actually makes it so I fit in everywhere without jeopardizing my integrity or moral compass. And that to me is... Insane.
