You may have seen my sarcastic twitter persona @CoKaneFriendly, now meet the other side: A Rumi quoting, spring sappling hugging, paintbrush pushing life enthusiast.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Lisa gave me some drawing anatomy books. I have an exercise to do one page a day. This was yesterday
about a craft I’m yet to even begin construction on.
I just didn’t want to let the idea decay inside of my journal, so I decided if I posted it here, I’d be more likely to complete it!
________________________________________________________________
I want to create a simulated headstone to have hang over my bed. I can’t decide whether I want it to be painted and permanent, or something I can change.
If it were permanent, I’d have to choose the epitaph more wisely, and make sure it was positive.
If it were something I could adjust day to day, I wouldnt want it to be anything as simple as a white board. Chalk board is more likely, but I’d also like it to be homemade. I’ll see what I come up with.
Any opinions on whether it should be fixed or changeable?
Suggestions to make this project extra-ordinary?
Or suggestions of epitaph type quotes/lines you like or have written?
Behind the scenes look at Back Chat’s January photoshoot.

If I can paint
a picture for you
with just words
How am I
just
a writer?
If I can tell
a story to you
with just one painting
How am I
just
an artist?
candlelit oil paintings = better than photographs.
I think my medium of choice is oil.
Ryan: At least we met each other
Me: And at least I taught you the X-Men Raven before you left.
Who KNOWS where your life would be without it, god forbid…
Hard to believe that was created by a sober brain, eh?
Ryan: Not so hard when i remember it was you

Lately my mind has been revolving around
death
life
what happens next
Original, I know…
But it’s never consumed me before like it has lately. If I died tomorrow, would I feel fulfilled? Hardly. I think this creativity kick couldn’t have come soon enough.
I crave for a legacy and so I must
create
create
create.
