"Across the Sea"

You are 18 year old girl who live in small city in Japan.
You heard me,
on the radio.
About one year ago and you wanted to know,
all about me,
and my hobbies.
My favorite food and my birthday
Why are you so far away from me?
I need help and you're way across the sea
I could never touch you - I think it would be wrong
I've got your letter
you've got my song

They don't make stationery like this where I'm from - so fragile, so refined
So I sniff
and I lick
your envelope and fall to little pieces every time
I wonder what clothes you wear to school
I wonder how you decorate your room
I wonder how you touch yourself and curse myself for being across the sea

Why are you so far away from me?
I need help and you're way across the sea
I could never touch you - I think it would be wrong
I've got your letter
you've got my song

At 10 I shaved my head and tried to be a monk
I thought the older women would like me if i did
You see mom, I'm a good little boy
It's all your fault, momma.
It's all your fault

Goddamn, this business is really lame
I gotta live on an island to find the juice
So you send me your love
from all around the world
As if I could live on words and dreams and a million screams
oh, how I need a hand in mine to feel.

Why are you so far away from me?
Why are you so far away from me?
I could never touch you - I think it would be wrong
I've got your letter
you've got my song
I've got your letter
you've got my song

ROY G BIV

All things red....and just for you!  Any guesses as to what color I will feature next?  :)

Some Old Disney World Photography...

Photos I took at Walt Disney World: Old or New?

I admit that many of these photos may not be  that old but they are for me, they are all pictures from long lost files.  I love photography and I love taking pictures at Disney World.   As cheesy as it may sound...Disney inspires me and here are a few shots from my WDW portfolio.  

Main Street USA

Magic Kingdom Above

Port Orleans Riverside (or Dixie Landing if you must)

Port Orleans Midnight Fountains

Not For My Little Artists Under 21...

Great Hemingway quote, although please take this with a grain or a shaker of salt as I must note that Mr. Hemingway was a bit of a drunk who left this earth via suicide.  His tragic ending doesn't diminish his talent as a writer but should make you more cautious in taking any advice from him involving the juice.  Still I love this quote.

"I love love, I love being in love, I don't care what it does to me" - The Format

Strange Love.

I love browsing Etsy and finding new artists.  As an artist myself, I often see something that I like and wonder where on earth the artist got the idea for a particular piece.  This actually strikes me because my own method is a simple one and what I create would be considered normal subjects like animals, words, flowers, and other things that I have seen before in my life.  I see a squirrel and I paint a squirrel.  I hear a line is a song I like and I put it on something.  If I am creating an abstract piece, I use the color theory principles that have been taught to me.  Most everything can be traced back to the first source and the road from point A to B is rarely a complicated one.   And that is why I am taken back time and again with other artists that create such original art that isn’t comparable to anything in real life.  It is curious thing for me and while cruising with this in mind, I thought I would share with you some artists I love that have something that makes me ask…Where on earth did you come up with that? Enjoy :)

A family picture. Heartwarming in a very relatable way, perhaps that is what makes it more strange.

The colors imply to me that this would be a friendly being, but the teeth tell me something else.  How would you approach?

Insomniac's Findings....

I like to look at old

 and pretty things

when I need sleep...

or even when I don't. 

The math is easy though.
