Reflections in New York City

this is one of my most distinctive scars. in typical me fashion, i got it by being a complete idiot.

so, my sister and i are perhaps a little bit too fond of playing with fire. anyway, i was maybe, 10? and for some unknown reason, we were melting bits of plastic. yeah, dont ask.

as is wont to happen, a bit of molten plastic met my hand, and this was the result.

its raised and smooth, a proper piece of scar tissue. it came out rather neat, an upside-down triangle (sometimes a heart if you squint a little).

also, surprisingly hard to take a photo of.

my RECord of what Love means to me :o)

I really tried to make this look like it's legit graffiti. Typography is not really my cup of tea, obviously.

Just a small idea I got :)

Bandwagon passenger #44, here’s my ticket. 8D My muse insisted i colour this. She’s persistent and i have no self-control; we make an awesome team. Awesomely sleep deprived, that is. The planets have freckles/sun kisses, because the sun thought their heavenly bodies were out of this world, and it smothered them with smooches. Also, it put a ring on it. 8DD *bricked*

i guess most people would answer the question like this which is sad. not just because it isn't true but also because chaos is negative for them. well not for all as you can see :)
i don't know much about nietzsche and most of what i know about him and his work i don't really like but he was true when he said "you need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star."

...

note: colors please :)

I felt like making it messy :)

First one out of a couple of characters that came to life when I was in a doodling mood one day : ) Hope you like them!

Alternatively titled, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Woman. Edited my original illustration and added in the text. Explanation from the first RECord:
When I was around two, it was discovered that I have a form of congenital muscle weakness. Ordinary things that most people wouldn't even think about can be difficult to impossible for me. Getting up from the floor. Steps without rails. Carrying trays. Sitting cross-legged. I can still walk, but only very short distances, and with a stick or other support.

Still, I consider myself incredibly fortunate: I was born into a family that was able and willing to care for me, and in the Digital Age when so much can be done and experienced through computers. I don't live in a war-torn or resource-poor area, or worry about whether there'll be food tomorrow or where to sleep at night. So I'll never be normal. Life goes on; and so will I. :)

A photo of my fair city of London taken last night. I live in London but not central. In fact, so not central I may technically live in Middlesex. But what I love is that even living this far out it doesn't take much to get to the centre and do something random and unusual. For example, I just spent the evening on a Spooky Bus Tour of London - includes storytelling, a funeral bus and actors running around hysterically. Oh, and a tour of London while they're at it.
So, that's what a city is to me.
Always having something to do or see.

The world through my eyes. A world full of video game references and funny ghosts~

...i like puns. *hangs head* Marmalade (a breakfast spread 8D), Treacle Tart, and Sweet Creamed Corn. Inspired by a puntastic exchange with a friend a while back. The story in text form:

“Lookit ‘er,” Creamed Corn sneered. A flash of orange was seen through the crack in the pantry door. Marmalade. “That tart. I bet she spreads it for any hot knife.”

Treacle Tart frowned. “That remark is hurtful and very culturally insensitive.”

“Pfft. Go hang out with Yoghurt then. ‘e’s teeming with cultures.”

The offended tart sniffed. “You should be recalled. You may be corny, but you’re hardly sweet.”

"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?" - Lewis Carroll

This is a painting of one of my favorite quotations by Carroll

Mr. Panda was feeling lonely. So he made a friend named Mr. Balloon. But one day, Mr. Balloon ran away.

Far from the city in most people's views, but it's where I'll always call home.

Outside of Reading, Pennsylvania, USA

just a little sketch. i think it would look better in colour but i'm not very good in colouring so maybe someone wants to do that?

Finally done! i love Midori's illustrations like woah. Why can't i colour stuff all day instead of work? So many pictures, so little time. ;_;

Loving the look of pure joy on Joe's face....Great photo tynie626! :)

It was almost sunset, and also snowing.
The color of the sky was beautiful.

rabbit rabbit rabbit!!
If you repeat "RABBIT" three times, you'll think this shape looks like a rabbit.

Well, this is a piece of ginger though.

Dorian Gray inspired decadence/hedonism painting.

This time made richer (thanks for the inspiration JANE TH) ... and I did a sorta mirror effect?

REmix?

This was fun to do. :)
3 hours- Open Canvas 1.1
Does anyone want me to upload the version without the background?

forget the stars, run to the city lights. ♥
just a quick attempt at this!

I just had to... I mean, how could I ever resist teaming up with Miss Metaphorest?! These tiny story things remind me of the little 'doodle one-line sentences' project I had going back in the day. :''')

True intentions hidden by the clouds...

"She rises when the sun sets..."

...Lost in your lust~

To be innocent is akin to be blindfolded. It cannot last forever.

Something simple and meaningful~

These are so addictive. This popped into my head on the way to work. Random whimsy with a bit of a message or two, maybe? i actually imagine this as a stop-motion animation, something like a cartoony version of time-lapse photography of the night sky. Anyway, hope this amuses someone or makes them think a little, or maybe even both. Reuse, remix as you will. :)

Everything's better with kittens. Except hamburgers.

To the very cool tiny story, here is my picture of the boy with no imagination and his dog roy

This was fun :D

So I made this shirt design for hitrecord.org out of boredom.
There. :)

some things are just unbearable. that's when you have to be true to yourself even when it's not easy...


colors please! :)

A sketch I made some time ago.

i waved at you and so did the trees.

A little pic of a gorgeous sunset I was able to witness. I love the color in this photo. I barely edited this photo. Someone go ahead and do something with this. I'd love to see what happens.

... I want to walk on a street in a big city, next to a stranger I never met before, no prejudices, no expectations...and a chance to fall in love once in my life.
