My Bio
Hello fellow deviants!

I've been here a while now so have decided to take advantage of what DA has to offer and join some groups. Starting to make some friends on here and really get inspired b all the fantastic artists on here. It really is amazing the creativity that exists out here.

I am a 32 year old queer guy, living in Atlanta Ga. I have a partner and a BF, a dog and 2 cats. I have a formal education in horticulture and working on a degree in holistic medicine (first in herbalism and second in nutrition). I don't have an education in art or design other than my landscape rendering classes, but have always loved to draw and really just never stopped.

Pagan by birth and practice.

Most of my inspiration comes from my dreams. I am a lucid dreamer and often remember my dreams. And most of my dreams are influenced by my upbringing, my complex relationships, spirituality and dealing with challenges in my life, past and present.
My style is mostly layered illustration in pen and ink. Been experimenting with watercolor and gouache so any insight in that department is appreciated.

I love hearing people's thoughts. I am still fairly new to all this but very excited to be here.

I don't have a lot to say, except I feel like I lost a real friend today. Maurice, I love you. You influenced me in ways no other man had. Your books were proof that others could see what I could see. Thank you so much for being here, Mr. Sendak

Holiday trip

0 min read
Saturday, we are headed to SC for Christmas. Back to Miss Pammy's house, where my younger brother will be attempting to capture the holiday spirit with the magic and vigor my mother seemed to. I respect the attempt, which is why I am going. And I don't anticipate drama. Any melancholia or disappointment that her ghost does not make an appearance I will keep to myself. You see, Miss Pammy was a failed, but passionate Hestial witch. She burned practically every dish she attempted, even her specialties. Her garden was a wreck, less I undertook a project. Her house keeping and organizational skills makes me look tidy, short of the bursts of red

I wrote this one day when visiting my mom in the hospital. She was having trouble sleeping. Mom had a very hard time letting go. I know she felt unfinished as a person and as a mother and it is probably what kept her hanging on for a very long time, terrified of what would happen to us once she was gone. I Can Hear the Ocean When the Light is Right Slow down. Slow down and breathe. The world will be waiting when the nothingness Goes away. When the light returns, When our insides burn with blood, With salt water and memories of 1987. It looks like the foam grey sea before a storm. Florescent lights, flickering against the green linol
