morethanwords-dreams: I would reblog everything in your blog, but IT reached post limit. Please remind me to tomorrow, please. I love your work.

Thank you so much for the messages! I apologize if I am very late getting back to you, I don’t get email notifications for this blog.


sometimes i get lost
in the deepest 
valleys
of my mind.
it is in times like these
you always kiss me,
head to heels,
and try to mop up the 
dark thoughts
that bloom there
with love-borne
spit ;
you try to anchor my
heart, on the brink of 
explosion, with the 
slow
steady 
thud
of your own.
but sometimes i can go on
like this
for days,
just like gentle breath on
matted eyelashes
and deaf, hopeful ears.

Stephanie wore her Beauty and the Beast TOMs today and someone asked if I could do a Little Mermaid pair for them. Commissions! Even if its not set in stone, exciting.

Technique practice feat. badly drawn Best Coast cat and a color scheme that seemed cool in my head ‘till it was on paper. 
Lessons learned: 
1. Sometimes thin paint is nice but…
2. Layering over ink is not for the impatient because ink does what ink does best… smear.
I don’t know. I still kind of like it to be honest.

Paintbrush hairs are the bane of my existence. I am working on my first commission and this happened. Good thing I’m not making a career out of my art…

parachutes-and-lullabies: Emily, you're a freaking amazing artist. I'm sitting here looking at this stuff going, "Good God, she's talented." I'm jealous - not about to lie...

Thank you! But so are you. I’ve been jealous of things you’ve done too. 

That one time I tried to do the Washed Out album cover. It didn’t work and has since been disposed of.

So many similar shades of green and brown
So many fine lines
So many tiny ink spills
*dies*
