'It's lonely at the top... bring a friend!'

I lead a life of blissful solitude for now. I sometimes forget to call, but it's getting easier these days. Sending the energy of love and play to you today.

I had Don Nace's series "Messages from God" on the back of my mind as I was working on this. I find these situations so amusingly pitiful‒ I'd get up if I could! Now will somebody pick up that damned phone...?

'Laika's Comet' - ink and colored pencil

To Our Patron Saint of One-Way Trips. Did you know her true cause of death wasn't revealed until 2002? One must wonder what other truths remain unbeknownst to us.

'A Humbler Man' - ink and graphite

Proud of the growth it took to create a piece like this. I psychically walk alongside St Augustine through this journey, the path to unknowable betterment.

caption was in part inspired by jenny holzer's "truisms" series, as a personal reminder that i am best off alive and healthy than suffering. it is not a judgment on others.

more about truisms {worthy of your critical thought}

to die for one's cause is beautiful, stupid, and makes for great content!

on having sacrificed my authentic voice to appeal to the desires of others. 'twas a noble cause, but i've paid for it dearly. self-immolation won't be my response to postmodern treachery.

what i find so beautiful about healing is that it is cyclical. i had been telling myself similar sentiments for weeks when i came across this note from last summer. each time i remind myself of my strength, it returns more palpably than ever felt.

race to the womb, a playful look at the intricacies of intimacy. the odds of our own existence are astounding, i could never take this for granted.

a new process came to me after lingering on hildegard of bingen's body of work. i start from the center, then expand outward however my vessel decrees. there are more of these, which i will share in due time.

what’s left of the woman in me smells of smoke. her heart smolders with determination.

this locale is not mine.
i merely dwell here for a time.

these words i dwell on, as my mere existence grows ever more taboo.

ended up becoming my favorite album(.) bury me with this.

ask yourself: is this the life you’ve been waiting for?
or were you hoping that you’d be where you want with a little more?

when it's over, i want to know that i was good.
