Stain (2025)

been doing alot of music listening and re-evaluating of my creative goals while *not* making art the last few months. in that time i found this EP from Standstill, and it instantly became one of my favorite releases from this year.

the sonic qualities grabbed me by the soul this summer so i wanted to make a piece around this album, and Stain specifically, my first step back to getting back to my projects and creative self. i have playlists to make, poems to write, big writing projects to complete... and maybe school too. i'll take my time...

ko-fi (its in disarray, but you can pay me for art)

A page just decorated with my washi tape because it looks pretty.

A currently incomplete test page for my pens and markers.

And a page covered in the lyrics to a song I love (Standstill by Poets of the Fall)

You know that BLANK stare.....

that no where glare...

that empty place...

that empty space...

where we go...

that no one knows

Where feelings subside...

where we glide

A place to go

when you do not know...

I'm there

synopsis: Meet Ryker Ruel, an enigmatic, lecherous, and clinically insane sociopath who has stolen a top-secret device that can freeze time! Now, as the bodies of world leaders pile up, famous works of art go missing, and other strange crimes dominate the headlines, only the device’s creator, a run-of-the-mill science geek, knows what’s happening and sets out to stop Ryker’s seemingly endless revenge tour.

IF YOU COULD STOP TIME, WHAT WOULDN’T YOU DO?
