Another Place

Multimedia. This was meant to be a follow-up to Somewhere Else I made a while back with my art teacher. I did this one myself, however. Big markers filled with very black ink, mostly. Smaller ones in there for what details there are. I’m not a huge fan of abstraction these days, but there’s something about having pieces like this up on my wall, knowing that I made them, that I quite like. On my wall it’s about 3 X 5 feet. This is a photograph, not a scan.

I hung on
To these,
Because I thought
They would
Continue
To make
Me happy.
They didn’t.

Dude… – Journal 4/12/17
Every so often I will write a poem and think to myself that it’s going to be funny posting that up for everyone to see later on. Today was one of those days. Yet with all things indecent I had a moment where I thought I’d bury “It’s Nothing” today by posting a photograph or something. Nah.
So that’s up, meant for my SO, and hoping she’ll see it and message me asking “You seriously put that up and told everyone who it was for?” Fucking right I did. I think it’s funny and it’ll be funny. But wh...

To the Artist Across the Table
I can see you sketching all
Kinds of things there
Stuff that I can’t do as well
Unless it’s with words
But the cities you can make
Are even more tangible
And now another piece of paper
Has been taken out and you
Could be
Drawing me
But that might be so egotistical
To think that any of your art
Was meant for me
It could also be too awkward to tell
Someone
That you’re making art about them
Even if the inspiration
Is so minuscule
Drawing
Or
Writing
It does the same thing
With practice you get be...

Increasingly Verbose – Journal 4/10/17
Man, that last entry was really weird, wasn’t it? Lot of cursing and unnecessary stuff, but I was EXCITED!
Not an awful lot has been happening here besides not being able to post much. Professional and personal life can get in the way of posting since I’m not a massive corporation! Like I’m human or something. But it does ache when I can’t hit my normally scheduled times or don’t even post a day. Some people might understand taking a day off every now and then, but that’s malarkey to me. I wa...

We Think We’re So Valiant
Lights floating in the dark
Like Chinese lanterns
A varitable peace among skies
Where the things shine
Glints of a blade in violence
Brightening the dark world
As it cleaves through
With easy strength
Glowing heavens hellfire
Glittering
Glittery
Glittering
A hack
A slash
A hock
A stab
Aghast the darkness
Tools used are
Instrumental
