Thanks a lot for featuring and writing tiny-stories! I love it!

Ink on Paper, 2011

A tiny & morbid love story. "As the last summer breeze rolled past, the two stood side-by-side I'll see you in the spring, he said, but now it's time to die."

This is an illustration for Michal's Tiny Story, "Reliable". I just kept picturing a sandcastle melting into the sea.

"Her heart was lighter in the shine of the stars. She released the balloon into the darkness, from whence it came".

That is my line up above but feel free to add your own or help me make this picture better! I drew this with colored pencils and I had no idea what I was doing because I usually paint, actually. I am forced to abandon painting for the time being. Eventually, I will do some paintings when I can and post those too. But I think it turned out ok ...

Story behind the picture I drew: Yesterday, someone told me to not "get my hopes up". I am sick of hearing this from people. My Doctor told me the same thing just last week. Just not in those exact words ... Well, I am not faulting him because he was telling the truth. But someone told me not to get my hopes up on my dreams. And that is just a no no ... This is my response to all those nay sayers out there.
