Visit the Sky

Quick sketch. This song painted this picture in my mind... but... it sounds slightly more yellow.

Love is a Lottery

When  I  trusted  another with the most vulnerable part of my being, the risk of losing it increased exponentially. To hope and trust she would never take advantage of that, is to love.  Too many times have I trusted another deeply flawed creature to be responsible with such power, and each failure took a piece of me that I can never get back. I deserve this pain, somehow. This punishment is retribution for the transgressions of my past life. Thus, I shall serve out the rest of my sentence in this existence, alone; protecting what’s left of me from the potential abyss of disappointment that would surely consume me, should I fail again. Why would I risk the tiniest bit of what’s left of myself for a glimmer of hope of what I know to be a lie? Love is a lottery and the chances of winning are just as probable.

Sinking Fast

Charlie did a bad thing.
Now she's going to hell.
Run, Charlie! RUN!
Untenable safety.

My Muse

So let me kinda, sorta try to explain... I've been really uninspired for a while. You can see that if you just look at 2013's archive. You can't make inspiration happen, it just does, and I would get a spurt once in a blue moon. HOWEVER, I am coming to realize that apparently I have to feel "emotions and shit" to be inspired because all this production that has taken place since around late November can be traced back to a single source. I was perfectly content and happy before then and something happened that ruffled my feathers. Not only this, but looking in the archive at last year, I noticed a similar surge of sketches happened right after a previous encounter with the same person.

I wasn't fully aware of what it meant until this drawing occurred. It was kicking the shit out of my mind to come out. I literally could not focus. I have other shit I specifically need to be working on but I couldn't continue until I got this out.

Picture's pretty self explanatory without the need of going into detail. Even in my utter dissatisfaction with the ambivalent nature of our "friendship", I can legitimately credit this person as my muse. I still don't fully understand specifically what it is that is reflected in him that I admire, but the drawing power is strong enough that he's my proverbial carrot on a stick; always just out-of-fucking-reach . *sigh*

Charlie too

A slight little redesign of Charlie, first introduced here. Working on some style frames. I like this dress better, it's less frilly and a little more bad-ass.

Sweater Weather

Inspired by the song. It completely takes me back to LA. I see a sunset behind silhouettes of palm trees and an amber glare casting a vivid spectrum of colors across the sky that only smog can produce. It's Tumblr come to life. Initially when I started sketching this I felt such a strong sense of nostalgia of LA and also being in love- it was almost kind of sad, because I realized I'll never be able to love fearlessly like that again, which is obviously just part of growing up. But the song embodies, just that: Passionate, fearless, euphoric and reckless young love

Purification by Fire

Trying to sketch fast. I like the color, but that's about it. I saw it in a dream.

She Samurai

 Trying to keep that same energy. Trying for more detail. I need painting practice too. Which makes me a little miserable, because I get dis...
