Sublime Déshabillé

And in her sublime déshabillé, the soft pillow of her body bathed in light while her head swam in the dunce cap’s darkness ravaged by dancing merciless fire and choking smoke.

Môniyâw

There were some uncanny, serendipitous circumstances surrounding this piece both while I was working on it and after….things that a younger version of myself would call coincidence, a word I have since mostly parted ways with.

The Parisian and tattoos

I don’t think I waited long past my 18th birthday when I got my first tattoo. And I was so eager I didn’t even care what it was. I remember going to the shop and picking something off their wall. And it was a small mediocre fairy I got on my lower stomach.

Body of a Flower

You wanted me to fly. You wanted the honey and the flower. I wanted forever.
