Paradox

I can’t take it without feeling guilt. To grasp your hand and let you pull me to my feet is an admission of weakness. I should be able to stand alone. Yet I’m still confused when I see others drowning, embracing the ocean’s waves instead of their loved ones’ arms.  

Final Exam

His five eyes blink, black slits dilating in yellow irises. The others watch closely. His three hands tremble, hovering over the operating table, over the strange pink mounds of flesh. He sweats profusely. “Shit,” Kloxar thinks. “Where does the probe go, again?”  

Snow Unicorn

Last week, H randomly started to build a snow sculpture in the front yard. I saw what he was doing and came outside to help. At first it was going to be a polar bear, but we decided that a unicorn would be way more cool. We both piled up the snow to form the…

A Witch Ball and a Dress for Fall

I took myself on an Artist’s Date this week. If you’ve read Julia Cameron book “The Artist’s Way,” then you already know that an Artist Date is something we do for our inner artist, aka our inner child. It means going out alone and doing something the inner child wants to do, even if it…

The Walking Dead Drawings + Flask Pixel Art

I’ve started up again with the RPG maker. In order to make my game idea work, my character needs to have certain items in his inventory. Since I don’t have the patience to slog through the internet looking for the item graphic that I need, I decided to just make it. One of the main…

Good Morning, Cat!

My cat has been acting more needy than usual lately. Just the other day she decided that she didn’t like me sleeping with the bedsheets covering my face. She sat on my bed and meowed at me until I uncovered my face. And this is the first thing I saw. Yes. Good morning to you,…

Spring Flowers: Lilacs and Apple Blossoms

There are two crab-apple trees outside my workplace that look beautiful in bloom. I took a few photos before the flowers dropped; these trees only stayed in bloom for two weeks! There is a pathway near my workplace that is lined with lilac bushes. I always walk by them on my way to the corner…

Makeover: Dining Room

We’ve been slowly but surely painting the rooms in the house. I finally painted the dining room last month. It had been driving me crazy for the past year. The red walls made the room feel small and dark. It also felt outdated, as if I was in a cramped restaurant that was 100 years…
