“I went to the park and saw this kid flying a kite. The kid was really excited. I don't know why, that's what they're supposed to do. Now if he had had a chair on the other end of that string, I would have been impressed.” Mitch Hedberg

"Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string

Till you cut through my tether and changed everything
From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same
So I darted back quickly to spell out your name
And when they say that I'm just a terrible kite
You'll tell them you're proud of my marvelous flight"

I don't have much to say about her. this is an illustration for Kite by Copeland. i was just trying to get the feeling of the song into the painting. this song always makes me want to cry even though the lyrics are kind of happy.  this is the first full painting since i was a sophomore in high school.

"So to who I used to be and the life I thought I wanted, Goodbye."

I was just listening to my Itunes when a song my brother had given me came on. It made me cry, truly, for the first time since the break up. It was Brightest by Copeland. I suddenly got this image in my head and had to draw it. This is a self portrait of sorts. The stuffed dragon's name is Risa. My boyfriend gave her to me for valentines day this last year.  So here it is. The Goodbye to Torrey. Maybe the first of a few but I'm still saying goodbye.

"If you find yourself here on my side of town
I'd pray that you'd come to my door
Talk to me like you don't know what we ever fought about
Cause I don't remember anymore
I just know that she warms my heart
And knows what all my imperfections are
And she said that I was the brightest little firefly in her jar

And I just know that she warms my heart
And knows what all my imperfections are
And she says that I am the brightest little firefly in her jar"
