My suffering is
exploited, put on display;
I must sell my pain

Apparently today I chose angst :P

Don't think that you know
all my needs; you never give
what I can't ask for

You don't hear me when I say
'I wish you'd listen to me'

I love my work as an illustrator. I also love my work as a pet-sitter. I absolutely love it when my two jobs collide.

This is a pencil portrait I drew for a pet-sit client.
Pet portraits can be commissioned through my Etsy store, click the link below to order yours (hurry spots are limited)

Everything you are
is what I am not; I wish
I were more like you

Perhaps then, I’d love myself
the same way that I love you

We don’t talk about
our feelings; you assume that
I don’t have any

I admit they’re hard to find,
scattered shards inside my heart

💔

How high is the moon?
What does it matter? It is
far out of your reach

Unfortunately my camera hates night photography, so this photo doesn’t do it justice (not that the poem does either)

Quiet stretches on
expanding the house; I am
lost in the silence

A slightly more awake poem

My sleep-haze dulled brain
cannot clear itself; it needs
washing with coffee

#haiku #senryu #poem #poetry #micropoem #mastopoem #smallpoems

Apparently my sleep-hazed brain thinks this is a poem 🧠💭💤

The clouds get lower
the higher you go; heaven
has drawn its curtains

Photos from the top of Redhead Bluff, just before a storm broke

She has wings; yet she
never learned how to use them
She stays in the nest

watching others soar the sky,
wondering how freedom feels

I want to have you
in me, deep as you can go,
lodged inside my heart

Buried where the love I have
throbs for you and engulfs you

Cereal, then milk
in that order; the reverse
is a travesty

My entry for the Folio Society Book Illustration Award ☠️🌸🔪

This one was very personal. I'm a longtime fan of @neilhimself, possibly the nicest man on the planet and an astonishingly good writer.

So many artists and illustrators who have influenced me went into this. There's a lot of me in in two, parts of it are old art I drew nearly 2 decades ago.

I hope Neil and the judges like it 🖤

It is perilous
to stay with you; yet I can't
leave to save myself

Part of me loves that you could
destroy me so easily
