This year I’ll be attending Pride in Philly. It will be the first time I’ve ever attended a Pride event this large. The only event I had attended before was a small market in my hometown last year. Why does this give me hope? I guess it’s hope to have a fun time being myself, after hiding my identity for eight years, I couldn’t go to events like these before. It shows off the city more as I’ll…

I like to compose works that invite the viewer to feel a certain essence from the piece. For example, a playful, eerie, or soft and relaxed vibe. That is the first thing I want someone to say about the piece before they dissect it further. If I fail to communicate that, then I have failed with the piece. The whole thing falls apart. The artwork is total garbage. Over the summer, one of the big…

How Medical Transition Opened My Creativity. I came out at 12, about to be 13. I chopped off my hair. I started binding around age 14. I socialized as a boy. Throughout middle and high school, I enjoyed the arts. I was in the band, a part of the theater stage crew, and took art during my last two years of high school. When I graduated from high school in 2023, I drew in my sketchbook here and…

Zoning Out With Oil Paint I decided to go outside and meet some people. We met to paint the surroundings. I went off to a shady spot with a bunch of picnic tables and eyed an interesting composition of trees. It was an enjoyable day, but it was hot. Translating the outside world onto a canvas is very spiritual. Forming the shapes and lines in my head, bringing out the colors I feel are shining…

Last summer in Delaware. It is bittersweet. But everyone is leaving, and so am I. Gotta grow up and spread my wings someday. It is not like I am going far, just traveling on I-95 to get to Philly. It is not like I can just take SEPTA down for a visit with family. I will be taking advantage of my time at Temple to make a name for myself. At what, I don’t know yet. Trying to manifest something…

Felt motivated to complete this by the weird vivid dream I had last night.

Not anything deep or mindbreaking philosophical just weird shit that wakes you up and makes you go wtf was that. It was a school dream too!

It is a lot of walking The city of Philadelphia has a lot to offer and, coming from a train ride away from northern Delaware, it is a city that I would visit for Phillies games and museum trips. But now, in three and a half months, I will be moving to go to Temple to hopefully get my degree in visual studies at Tyler. With being on the autism spectrum, it is important I prepare and get used to…

Was trying to get this dreamlike feel.

But the first layer is done. It going to have a lot more flowers and stuff as I progress.

its a sales funnel...
