An illustration for aimeecanto's tiny story 'Silence!'
'He wanted to scream to the world how much he loved her, but they were at the library, so he whispered.'
The way I pictured it with them hiding behind a book and being surrounded by books, I figured that it may as well be in a Library of Tiny Stories.
This is a Tiny Story that became a not so tiny song ....

UNLIKELY THINGS
HER MIND LIVED HIGH AMONG THE CLOUDS
IT CRIED WHEN SHE WOULD CALL IT DOWN
AND SIGHED WITH JOY WHEN IT COULD FLY AWAY.
CAUSE SHE LIKED TO DO UNLIKELY THINGS
SHE LIKED TO BE ALONE AND SING
AND FILL HER BOOKS WITH ALL THINGS SHE LOVED
THE UNLIKELY THINGS SHE LOVED
MMMM
THE UNLIKELY THINGS SHE LOVED
SHE LIKED TO DO UNLIKELY THINGS
PHOTOGRAPHING NAILS AND PINS
COLLECTIVE NOUNS AND BUTTERFLIES AND INK.
A LOVELINESS OF LADYBIRDS AND WINGS
AND TRACING FAVOURITE WORDS AND TREES
AND WATCHING BIRDS IN PUDDLES BATHE..
THE UNLIKELY THINGS SHE LOVED
MMMM
THE UNLIKELY THINGS SHE LOVED

She read not just books, but everything and everyone around her. And the greatest lesson she learned, is how to put something down and move on. |

So, i was working and you know how the mind wanders and the earl of sandwich popped into my head as a sandwich...yeah i'm weird... i know, but i embrace the weirdness...
Anyway, could you imagine if the original Earl of Sandwich was not a hardy gambler with no time for proper meals? Well the sandwich wouldn't have been invented! Crazy stuff!
Illustration for ubespidermonkey's tiny story 'Jealous Stars'
'Stars are jealous of city lights.
So once in a while, they cut the power.'
Liked the idea of them literally cutting the power and other stars acting as look outs but I resisted the urge to add ski masks. Needs some serious colouring to brighten it up though - being the whole point of the story.
this is a drawing i made in my moleskin, in October while waiting in LAX for my flight to NYC, that can be seen in LizSmalls' HitRECord Profile video about me.
feel free to REmix it, color it in, give it a Tiny Story, anything you wish

I could never believe until one day I could. |

And then we realized we will be here forever.

Whenever their song began to play, Their wrinkles vanished, they lost the grey. An unacknowledged truth, it seems: Radios are time-machines.  ... |

This is the first thing that popped into my head to Illustrate for janetfelts's wonderful Tiny Story.
I guess it's a drawer and not a "corner" but it still works, right?
Process: Watercolor and colored pencils illustration on clayboard, details scratched out with scratchboard tools, scanned in, made some digital touch-ups and then added the text.
I thought this might make a really great chorus to a song, or else a tiny story.
(I picture it repeated with long gaps between lines, so the meaning changes each time more is added to the phrase — starting negative, moving to ambivalent, getting nearly nihilistic, but then ending with the hint of redemption. (e.g. "I'm tired." I'm tired of being tired." I'm tired of being tired of being tired." "I'm tired of being tired of being tired of being."))

I do not fear the monsters under my bed. The monsters I fear, are in my head.
---- I would really like to have a different illustration for this...anyb... |

As my story comes to a close I realize that I was the villain all along. |

I dreamt a dream that you were here, and we were there, and then was now, and now was real. |
