"There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one's self." Benjamin Franklin

It may just be because I'm an artist (in a general sense) but i've realized a shift in how i see myself. here is how i have seen myself since i started this blog:

Last Year

Last February

Last April

here is this recent drawing i did of myself:

Its kinda depressing, no?
i RARELY appear in my own artwork so it always kinda confuses me when i'm trying to draw an emotion and suddenly, TAADAA!, there is a laurel. i realze i'm seeing myself as less pretty now. yaay shots to the self esteem! lol. i read this comic book called Pages by Paige. its about an artist who had to move to new york with her parents and she keeps a sketchbook of her emotions. its FANTASTIC! well goodnight!
best WISHES!

"At first cock-crow the ghosts must go Back to their quiet graves below." ~Theodosia Garrison

Hello all! so i decided its Halloween time so i should draw some creepiness. here is Laudren. she is a Mad scientist who is a Rag doll-Type undead. i did this in two very distracted hours.

some quotes that didn't make the title cut:

Pixie, kobold, elf, and sprite,
All are on their rounds tonight;
In the wan moon's silver ray,
Thrives their helter-skelter play.
~Joel Benton

Hold on, man. We don't go anywhere with "scary," "spooky," "haunted," or "forbidden" in the title. ~From Scooby-Doo

'Tis the night - the night
Of the grave's delight,
And the warlocks are at their play;
Ye think that without
The wild winds shout,
But no, it is they - it is they.
~Arthur Cleveland Coxe

One need not be a chamber to be haunted;
One need not be a house;
The brain has corridors surpassing
Material place.
~Emily Dickinson

Just like a ghost, you've been a-hauntin' my dreams,
So I'll propose on Halloween.
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you.
~Classics IV

well best wishes!
