the countdown

Why is it that when Spring chooses to come out of hibernation, it carries the scent of nostalgia?  Everything (and everyone) seems to come out of hiding, too.

2 days until the Joanna Newsom concert.  I can barely contain myself, actually.  The month of March will be marked solely by this event.

I've been working on more drawings...I wish I had a larger scanner -- my scanner is too small for the paper I use, so I'm forced to photograph my drawings.  Unfortunately, this method doesn't do justice to the small details...because I make a lot of little lines and designs with really little pens.

This drawing is based on a bad dream, involving a brown recluse spider embedded in my hand, visible phalanges and muscle fibers curling up and all over from the bone.

The omen on the side of the road: brutal blackbird roadkill.

My birthday.... ugh.... 25 is just an unfortunate number. It just... sounds drab. If you repeat it over and over again, it gets increasingly more boring within its 3 syllables with each repetition. Clearly, i'm over it.







(new drawings, the first of which is an actual illustration of a recent nightmare)

my life doesn't look familiar to me at all anymore. isn't that strange?

two and two don't add up, but i've never ever EVER been good at math.
