This one was fun. Based on a photo I took a couple blocks away.

A small watercolor sketch I did last night. Might be the first result I'm actually happy with. I have a hard time working from photos/life because I get stuck on getting proportions right. This time I just let it go. Excited to keep learning watercolors.

Maybe I don't put as much energy or focus into poetry as I should, but I haven't given it up. It's such an interesting art form, and I truly love language and all its intricacies. This one was in my notes for a while--probably longer than it should've been. In general, I just want to make art. This is a small meditation on that pursuit.

It’s been a minute since I’ve been on Tumblr due to some login difficulties but I finally sorted it out.

Here are a few sketches from this summer.

wrong

we're dead wrong--deadly throngs, heading for death--& long- itude & latitude's gone; hope to hope to hope again; carried on wind, waves; ferried in mind; waves, long- ing kind waves; shall we find ways to not be dead wrong? are the days too short or two longs repeating too loudly? too proudly? too cloudly? but Earth sang songs long ago; She sings again, bellowing: you're deadly wrong.

falsehoods

the architecture of truth falls flat against the flourish of surrounding lies, sparkling and glinting in the light, drawing our gaze and jutting their corners into compositions, casting shadows across the truth below. but the shoddy foundations of lies are prone to failure and no matter how fashionable or stylish, time will reduce them to dust, claiming those within their walls, while the foundations of truth endure time's assault like tardigrades in the vacuum of space. so the market of falsehoods grows, ever eager to keep the truth from being bought for as long as possible-- let alone believed.

plain sight

one above another seeking power beyond Mother, Father, God; three of a kind trolled into a full house to douse the criers with gaslighting and rhetoric: "make America hectic"; painting the targets brightly through the sights of terrorists sowing blight in the name of white, white, white power, money, sex insecure, bored, loathing-- guns, roaming thoughts, looming large online, in hot spots traffic's booming, grooming a genocide that hides in plain sight

Animation Exercise #2: Ball bouncing across screen.

I spent a bit longer on this one. The first version I did was pretty boring, just a small "ball" bouncing across, so I decided to change it up and do a basketball instead (I've been watching the Playoffs so it felt appropriate). I also created a simple background this time and did a few extra passes on the animation until it felt finished. I think my first pass was ~16 frames, but it ended up being 21.

Definitely learning a lot with each exercise and getting more familiar with the RoughAnimator app in the process.
