Yup. I'm fucking excited. I'm usually a little slow going with new work in the winter months anyway but I wanted to post notice that it'll be another couple of weeks until I'm able to post new imagery.

Perhaps it's that i look younger than I am. Maybe people forget that I'm 32. Perhaps they presume that I don't have the life experience that I have. Not that age should matter.. unsolicited advice is obnoxious and makes the giver of said advice seem haughty and arrogant.

The writer and Electronic Frontier Foundation co-founder John Perry Barlow defined pronoia as the suspicion the Universe is a conspiracy on your behalf.

I've been done with doctors for a long time. I refuse to pay the health care industry as it currently stands. I have never had a fruitful (pun intended) experience with a medical doctor. They don't know what they're doing. Who knew there was a viable alternative?? Nutrition and balance are the answers to so many of our problems on a global and personal scale.

Mostly this is because I typically do not seek out people as a primary subject. In most of my imagery, people serve as supplemental to a general aesthetic or idea. Often people come secondary to place.

there are terrors inside.
Love presents as a monster.
Long tentacles; greasy, matted hair; protruding, rickety spine...
A threat to only self
and anyone who happens to fall for the goodness,
the core.
The terrible things are disease.
Cut them out.
Leave the gashy scar,
for everyone else to negotiate.
But nobody will.
I only want the peace that lives in my heart,
