victory dance

and yet another flyer has been produced....

woot to this designed. i was totally inspired by louis comfort tiffany....he should be originally known for his stained glass....i can't believe his titled got smeared with "tiffany & co". if i can shrink-a-link one of his stained glass pieces i would wear it as jewelry.

purple series photos

and here are some pictures of the new purple paintings i'm working on.

band poster

some of the stuff i'm working on lately...

so it seems like i have something to say

i am but an empty shell, as empty as a naked blue sky
ruined and devalued by the measurement and standards of this world
wasting time to gain just a small spotlight upon the magnified cracks of my decaying mind
i know the longer i breathe, the longer i suffer
the longer i speak the longer i'm silenced by the deafing noise of death
my rusted joints keep my neck stiffened onto that view on death.

new city, new start

i've decided to stop the second job search for a while, so i can at least get another series going. this series has been inspired by the color purple, so working with the depth and the lightness of it. its still all about plants for me for some reason. lately, i've been having a global fixation. yeah, i'm in love with spheres. here goes something.

nu poetry

this isn't a time to schedule my sitting and my standing
not an appointed time to know if i can yet speak
this isn't training to me to walk the right way
timing is impossible when there are no hands of time to see
yet, there you are, asking me to please you with the impossible
to feel around in the dark, this dark forsaken world
for a path not yet drawn.

pleasing you when i hear no words from your mouth
not knowing how close destruction lies in one more step
this feeling of insanity in to myself
faith is much harder than work
because work has been what i have known
faith: as though its the simplest thing to ask of a being
when faith requires no sight, no evidence to an unseen

yes, its something to prosper me, but i feel like i've been harmed
because control was what i tried to obtain ever since the opening of my mother's womb
and control is lost when its surrendered to faith in you
