You can't step into the ocean without getting wet.
Wandering Around
Sewallcrest Park
Sometimes you just have to force yourself to get up and wander.
Wander more. Stress less.

Vectors and Color
Experimenting with vectors and colors for some potential prints in the near future...
Colors / In Bloom
Drip Drip Drop
I went for a walk in the rain today.
It really helps concentrate my efforts and calm my head.
There wasn't a lot of rain but it was enough to vibrant the moss up a bit.
Also
I just reread Fahrenheit 451 for the first time since high school.
If you haven't read it in a while or never read it ever, I highly recommend it.
It was written 62 years ago and still feels like it could have been written in the present.
Stuff, Things, and Acrobats
I've been drawing a lot of randomness lately. It's been rainy these last few days and my head is swirling with words and ideas.
To begin with I'm really trying to lock in and focus on producing words for a new book or zine or something. I need to focus on the head thoughts of the last year and make it into a something. More on that when it's a more complete idea. But it's a happening in the making.
Also last night I discovered that with the free program inkscape and a scanner I can make vector images of all my drawings.
It's as easy as clicking a few buttons, man. Which means I can make prints to sell, stickers, and/or pictures to go with stories. All the possibilities!
Also if you haven't been to zzzwalking.com please check it out. There's a total of 6 of us contributing to the site now and it's magical seeing all the happenings.
Head Thought
Sometimes I think we build such an expectation on what we expect a moment "should be" that we neglect to see the magic/blessings that are happening.
I know I do this.
The beauty is in the insanity.
Take time to think.
Take time to be.
Be Free Fellow Earthlings.

Dear Magic
For the sake of sanity please let it rain tomorrow; No sun just grey and rain.

Documentation
Living in NW Portland has been an ever unfolding adventure.
I would like to relate to you all the things I do, but sometimes photos say enough.
This life I live is truly a blessing and I'm thankful for everyone who is a part of it.
Thank you friends.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Rambling Rainbow Rain
I feel the elements really strong these days
i feel the wind and rain pulsing through my veins like a hurricane
hours feel like days
they talk of spring and summer like it's just around the corner
i just want the rain
i just want a snow storm
i just like the feeling of having to stay warm
there's a new moon on Tuesday
and this americano is just about drank
I need a shower
time to start another day
Yosemite
I updated my Macbook Pro to Yosemite and now it runs very, very slow.
I shouldn't get a rainbow pinwheel every time I try to type an email.
Not cool, Apple. I trusted you.
When magic is on your side, do not question why; just enjoy the ride.
If you talk shit about modern politics you're considered a terrorist
before that you we were communists
and before that some other adjective
keep your head up soldier
fly that flag a little higher
i can still see the sun and no ones going home until this war is won
The Alleyway
Half Moon / Gloaming
Can you spot the moon?
This picture doesn't even come close to doing justice to this sunset but hopefully you can still feel the magic.
Be free!
