Painting is like being someone else's eyes for them
I post mostly my original work but sometimes other things as well. I work in a variety of forms including but not limited to original drawings, paintings, poems, prose, and photos.

It is interesting how
sexual perversion is commonplace these days
Goddesses that you were
you give it up in so many strange ways
so a man can ride his raging libido
into the sun in a haze
of glory and prostitution
Oh see how his ego outshines
the suns infinite rays
and the purple flowers that grow from his penis
leave you in a poisoned malaise
that your brain reads as satisfaction
while your soul becomes enslaved
Young girl you cannot live without him
and you can’t live without it
That pleasure you derive
from his bone riding hard against your clit
Does it make you feel like a woman
because you know he is a man
as he grinds you into oblivion
and your sweat feels like ocean sand
You may call him Ceaser
because to earthly eyes he is a god
but he makes sacrifices to that feeling
of satisfaction in his crotch
that has nothing to do with you
and nothing to do with love
but masturbation is no answer
or else he would never need your insides to prod
because the one thing he cannot dominate
is his ego, good God
if that were the case
your satin hole would not be necessary for his shiny metal rod

I’ve been feeling so disconnected from God.
I know He’s there but I feel myself in a daze.
Somehow, I am trapped behind a wall of white gauze and all
I can see are His shadows, as I lay restricted on this gurney.
I can see Him passing around me, in slow
motion. One minute He stands to the far…

Impressionism is, by design, entirely about the experience of seeing.
In its day it was the artistic equivalent of the atomic bomb, but today many artists find it impossibly limiting from an intellectual and emotional standpoint. All the same, I find it instructive to return to it now and again; and when I do, I gain a new respect for it.

One of Ellen’s favorite bands was in the studio for a special performance of their hit song, “Yet Again.” Check it out!We love that Ellen’s such a huge fan! It’s mutual, of course :)

hi, remember the anon who asked whether you can make a scribble expression with a box of crayola? that was me, and here is the product. Done while listening to Demons by Imagine Dragons. =D While I am not entirely creative, I had fun doing it. I have great respect for you and your craft. Cheers!
*What a wonderful surprise to wake up to this morning! Very well done and I encourage all of you to give making one a shot.
p.s I’ve realized after giving it a lot of thought that the product of a scribble abstraction is actually a mandala. So, what a beautiful mandala!
