  • yeah, yeah

    I have this book of Grimm’s Fairy Tales. Some of the standards are in it, but so are some stories I have never heard of. Take The Adventures of Chanticleer and Partlet, for example. It’s the story of two chickens who venture into the forest to eat nuts. *Spoilers coming.* They do some stuff, and…

  • graphic design chronicles

    I decided to play with string instead of drawing this one. If I may offer some advice: Prioritize mental health, play as much as you can. Enjoy your dang life!

  • sideways sunset

    Something a little different today, playing with shape, color, and some texture. i call this one “Sideways Sunset”.

  • I am a Strange Loop

    I feel like the title kind of says it all for this one. For anyone concerned, I had a wonderful Saturday and did not spend the entirety of it clutching my ankles.

  • SEND IT

    Here’s a little motivational image for this Monday evening. I mentioned I’m a fan of sitting meditation. It helps me to relax my body and mind, and it allows me to know more about myself. What happens when I just stop? Like a tightly wound rope, breathing through a sitting session helps me to let…

  • hangry

    In 2015 I spent a few months on a Permaculture farm in the North of Thailand, before heading to Thich Hat Hanh’s Thai Plum Village for the last ten days of my visa. This led to three months at a Zen Center in South India, which led to a series of ten-day retreats and the…

  • rest on the breeze

    Note to self: Sometimes it’s best to just let the wind finish what it’s doing before you make any attempts at putting down roots. You will learn to find stillness in uncertainty, and bliss in not knowing. You’re learning to see yourself and the world for what they really are, and that takes time. There…
