I've been away

I've been away

Both physically and mentally.
But I'll be back. I'm coming back.
I'm just.....exhausted right now.
It feels as if I've died in little ways over the last few years. They're all adding up..
But i wanna live.
So I gotta figure out how to rest while still working and nurturing my creativity.

Hello again.
Been a minute, I know.... 😮‍💨

I'm here to talk about two paintings," just bloom" and "silas"...

So. Starting with just bloom. This was the first piece that I did when I got back to my grandparents house. I did it with oil pastel on canvas. I just wanted to see what oil pastel would do. I've never used oil pa...

What's your fav drink?

What's your fav drink?

Mine is called a Gold Rush - Four Roses bourbon, lemon, and honey. Made at Proof in Charleston, SC, this is the drink I'd have before and after a show, a shift, or whatever. It's refreshing and soothes my throat the same time.

I painted this during Everything_CUSH's paint & sip stream yesterday. I/we had a grand time. 10/10 would def...

hi.

here's a free cloud.

I've moved physically but I'm still unpacking. I also did Something to my computer that needs to be fixed before I can do anything strenuous on it (like streaming/gaming).

So far, I've started two paintings, chosen another pen name option, and done a stovetop cookie experiment. I'll post them.

SO

I drew something yesterday.

Remember my poem, "Danger"? The one with the push & pull, paddleball imagery? (It's ok. I'll put it below. 🫶🏾)

Well I drew it. And promptly passed out. This is gonna take a while. But I'm doing it. And I'm proud of myself for it. Anyway, here's "Danger":

Distraction

I need another distraction.

At a time where I'd rely on my words to help me
express and understand what I'm feeling…
my mind is empty.
Save for a decree

No. Four.
Three shmall ones
whose weight together
carry much more thunk.
And the last is ...

Danger

I’m in danger
Caught up in your current
I keep gettin’ pulled back in

I try to walk away
Leave you alone.
You release your hold…

But then you snatch me back.
When will you stop playin’
paddleball with my heart?

So I did. The very next day.

Brought me joy. Hope it brings you joy too.
