Between 13th and 31st Ave.Walking is my resort--not my last, but my best  Escape so I may acquaint myself with my feet;  I buy them a drink, and we get cozy. Between 13th and 31st Ave.

Tightrope WalkerI work without a net these days--don't praise--  This is no symbolic gesture  It's bravery-plaited brass, not solid through  I curl into a smile, but fetally too  Don't praise! It's not some code, no Hemingway values here  Unwrapping, undressing to the heart of things  No! I'm not the high-minded poet prophet  Criticizing the daily dance of wit and stumble   
No. I gaze upon you. I gaze  Like Echo now liberated, selfish and wild  And I gaze and I find your ambiguous mind  So lovely on paper, so painful in fact  Flesh out the abstract and I'm lost without  Words in a wildern Tightrope Walker

A Song for Shoveling CompostChin up. A fortune slip:  You can't feel like shit  When you're shoveling it.  At twenty now you're ankle-deep,  Up to the ankles in eggshells  (long-cracked) and droppings  And cardboard and wool and weeds  And membranes and peels  And panicking worms enmeshed between  Red as your gums, thick as fingers.  Chin up. Those go on your pile  Others to feed, but not your ego;  You can't shovel that to nourish others,  To turn this mountain soil to delta plain.  You give what you can;  You feel the muck crumble to feast.  Be that. Remember  That food is filth trans A Song for Shoveling Compost

ShalottI.  Too much! Too much!  Body lurching, stomach free-fall sinks  Prickles alive as a doe in a clearing  My hands, torn, pins and needles, useless  I sing, I sing, "Too much! Too much!"  With the current skipping too fast for breath  The little stream ripples will render me naked  Carry me to the castle a cargo of flesh   
II.  She used to watch them from her tower  O'er the bracken and the heather  Hunting foxes, hunting vixens  With their dappled steeds and curly hair  She could weave each surging muscle  Study every sun-carved angle  Safe and sterile in her Shalott

Hello!

Fri Sep 2, 2005, 12:09 AM
in light of my website ([link] may it RIP) has died/vanished/may not come back for a long time, I thought maybe I could try out deviantart. So here I am!

For those of you curious, I am a sophomore English major at the wonderful, happy, magical Carleton College. My art is mostly mixed-media creations based in watercolor, but including maker, collage elements, and sometimes old makeup because I never use it otherwise :: laughs::. I also like sketching and experimenting with digital media.

I prefer to update my livejournal, and so don't expect much of anything to go here (here as in the journal. All my art will go here though).

That is all.

Random Deviant Hello :wave:
The best thing about being an artist is that you don't have to grow up to be one

I wish I had an Octopus for a crotch. A Blue-Ringed Octopus for a crotch. Then I'd painfully kill anyone I would rape. Which is everyone.

De rien. It is quite alright. I am so very glad that you got my message. I adore your Priscilla picture! :heart: What kind of paper did you draw it on? It looks kind of sepia, it is really pretty.
