inspire me thursday


i think could listen to kate nash's the nicest thing over & over for the rest of my life. every time i hear it i almost cry. this just sums up my experiences with men boys:

"i wish i was your favorite girl,i wish you thought i was the reason you are in the world.i wish i was your favorite smile, i wish the way that i dressed was your favorite kind of style. i wish you couldn't figure me out, but you always wanna know what i was about. i wish you'd hold my hand when i was upset, i wish you'd never forget the look on my face when we first met. i wish you had a favorite beauty spot that you loved secretly,'cos it was on a hidden bit that nobody else could see. basically, i wish that you loved me, i wish that you needed me,i wish that you knew when i said two sugars, actually i meant three. i wish that without me your heart would break, i wish that without me you'd be spending the rest of your nights awake. i wish that without me you couldn't eat, i wish i was the last thing on your mind before you went to sleep. all i know is that you're the nicest thing I've ever seen; i wish that we could see if we could be something"

-"the nicest thing", kate nash

Self Portrait Challenge: Bathroom 4

two other shots i took for the challenge, but sadly the month is over.




this challenge ended up being a lot of fun, i was nervous about it at first, and well i got a lot out of my tiny bathroom. i didn't want the challenge to end. unfortunately, it seems i have several reasons to dread october. i won't bore you with them. instead, i would like to thank you all for sharing your art & photography with me. it is one thing that will help keep me sane. i should also add, some things just turn out better than you expected they would. i hope that trend continues.

Illustration Friday: Remember

"i still remember" acyrilic paint on canvas 8 x 10

as i was sketching a bloc party song started playing in itunes...

"every park bench screams your name
I kept your tie
I've gone wherever you wanted
I still remember"

{"i still remember" ~ bloc party}

...it inspired me to finish by turning my sketch into a painting. i was so inspired that i was ridiculed by my friends for sitting home and finishing it on a friday night (now it is saturday morning), but hey it is done! :)
