Always a nice feeling to complete a new piece. I feel like I’m finally starting to build a collection of work that feels my own.

Very creative title I know. This is my favorite piece I’ve made. I feel that this was a turning point for my art. I felt like this really came from a heartfelt place. I’m so used to drawing simply what I think is cool or pretty. But this felt like it was actually fueled by a feeling. I feel like I’m improving on drawing from my heart rather than my mind.

The one you’ve been avoiding !!!!
I have had this thing hanging over my head for a few months now. Does it look how I wanted it to? Not necessarily but at least it’s done.

after 4 years of consistent depression, i feel whole again. i’m not that good at drawing. but the meticulous action of filling in a little detail on a character, the small creases added at the corners of a smile, or the extra lines of thread you add to a sketch of pants makes me feel an intense pleasure for the small things around me

I’ve mostly been shooting with Ilford hp5. It’s 400iso so probably not meant for landscapes but alas, it’s all I had. This is a picture from Switzerland. Kodak Gold is also my fav colour film.

-Member of the wedding by Carson McCullers. Made me feel like a tween again which was unexpectedly beautiful. Her more popular book The heart is a lonely hunter is very good too!
-Jess+Moss by Clay Jeter is a really beautiful movie. Gorgeous colors and cinematography and heartwarming story.
-recently watched Fried Green Tomatos, also very heartwarming and beautiful. All about love and interpersonal relationships.
-Second Place by Rachel Cusk also gives some great food for thought on the search for meaning.

its the perfect blend of fiction and nonfiction. Capote is a journalist and wrote the book after investigating a murder but he writes the book as if it were fiction from the perspectives of the victims and killers. He fills in the gaps with dialogue that may have taken place and the feelings the victims might have had during the home invasion. It’s a true story but very engaging read, plus it has a beautiful cover!
