Mind numbing nonsense

I asked a man, a time ago, what did he think of this? He said this, oh, this what? What this? and when I gestured all around he told me what life is. He said this here, this life, it is. A freedom’s dream, and old man’s kiss. This life we live, this country here, has got us tied up with notched ear. We work all day, we work all night, for a fatter man and his fat wife. We say freedom, equal true and true. Then ask me why I bow to you. A court of men, white rich not poor, make laws and things we all abhor. They are equal men, a-stood pedestals of gold, and we free men who the laws do hold. We left one king to appoint our own. And place him on a new-made throne. And yes, our land is pretty now but one day it will all be town. We hurt each other, maim and kill. And preach of peace up on the hill. We think ourselves high when stupid and low. We’ve given up knowledge for money and show. So, he said, what do you dare think of that? But I could not have spoken for his speech had me trapped.

A Little Too Tired To Be Coherent

And dreamers spoke of paradise just round the corner bend. So round the corner, round and round, all around we went. And all the time came back upon the life we had just left. So round the corner, round and round, all around we went. And never was there paradise. And never did we change. We kept on spinning round and round for all our dreaming days.

Crow: Art

I did this pretty drawing of a girl and a crow on August 3rd, 2017. I thought that I could go through how I got to my final results. First off, of course, I grabbed a few reference pictures to draw from. Having references is super important. Most people find it really difficult to make accurate proportions without them, and since I've never drawn a crow before I didn't have enough experience to draw one from memory. It is not letting me add the third one, but it is just a picture of eyes that I grabbed while doing the shading. Secondly, I drew my reference lines. In pencil of course. Most of the time these lines are absolutely essential, but some times you can skip them like I did with painting for "Painting With Plants." I like to have my reference lines be exactly what I will follow when I start the finishing stages. The next step is always different for every artist. It tends to be different for me depending on the day as well. But for this piece,

Reminiscing About Work

So, as I near the end of my tenure at my workplace and prepare to go back to college, I wanted to just share some things about my experiences while working at an animal care facility. Some of the things that I will miss: The people. I made some friends while working and they aren't people that I am likely to ever see again. I also never exchanged contact information with them so we probably wont keep in touch either. But I think I will miss their kindness, the jokes, and the strange would you rather questions that went on for hours. The animals. The animals weren't always nice, and I didn't often work directly with them. Nut I enjoyed watching them while I was waiting for a quarantine to be cleared. Especially the rabbits. They're like big balls of floof that make the cutest expressions. The work itself. Just that feeling of accomplishment when you got one task done and were able to move onto the next. Or when you are part of an assembly line of switching out a
