digital paintings by xhxix.
cannot find much info on the artist.
his/her other pieces of men are a bit too eerie for my taste,
but i love the tone and flow and complexity to these.
it excites me when i cant fathom the process of creating such an image.
see full uncropped image of above here.

recent dreams have been unstable.
mornings have been starting off feeling disturbed and confused.
the one thing i absolutely hate and fear are caterpillars and larvae like creatures.
anything in a tube form, squishy and gooey and soft. and moves in that strange 'gut-sliding' manner. ack!!
so last night i dreamt hundreds of them were in my bedroom, in my bed, under the covers with me!!!
i jumped out of bed and can feel them crawling on my legs and arms,
and i was freaking out because it was dark and i couldnt see well,
and feared i will step on them and cause them to goosh out. ooze out. pop.
ugh.
horrible. just horrible.
glad it was a dream... |

last week
Kevin and i, and thirty of our friends and acquaintances spent a few days in Negril, Jamaica,
at the Rockhouse, a boutique resort on a beautiful reefy cove.
this was my first time in the Caribbean, and didnt know what to expect,
but oh my! our days spent there were so divinely beautiful and serene and romantic and exciting and...
it was just so very amazing...
i still feel a bit aloof, still on island time.
i hope at least once a year we can take these excursions.

time. waiting.
so slow.
keep busy.
one after another. fill fill fill. move. do.
noise. static. rustle. rush.
then pause.
stop. breath. rest.
dream.
slow. quiet. still.
hush hush whispers.
hanging. lingering.
limbo.
stay.
waiting.
repeat. |

growing up, watching GeGeGe no Kitaro anime, ive always had a fascination with yokai.
Japanese folklore creatures. demons. spirits. monsters.
some are mischievous. some are evil. some are good natured.
(above from Pink Tentacle yokai tagged)
(by Richard Longhi)
ive painted some yokai before. but am thinking of tackling it again. |

(. above source unknown).
christmas had come and passed so quickly.
i was completely unprepared, and so, felt very little of the holiday season glee.
which is fine.
the thing about the past few months is
thats since living alone, ive learned to adjust back to spending more time on my own,
engulfed in whatever i do. work or play.
asides from occasional outings with friends and visits to and from Kevin,
days are spent in my little bubble. my little cave.
and... sometimes that seclusion feels oddly strange.
a bit lonely, yes, but also a serene solitude, that is both comfortable and frightening.
feels like the distance between myself and the rest of the world grows farther and farther.
and i wonder how far is too far.. |
