What I am

Ok do ya get it?! This is me. bla bla bla I am so wiggy from medication I don't expect it to make much sense.
This was a doodle in the back of my sketch book. Then I liked it so I started drawing it with markers. Mom saw it and she said it looked like me, so therefore I changed it into me. So it is a self-portrait. When I look at it... it does look like me.
I like colours... I don't like pain.
There's a few things in there like the lyrics of 'somewhere over the rainbow' which always makes me cry.
I used some sharpies, some really crappy old markers and pens that didn't work.
All my markers are too dark and wet so they make the paper fall apart. I wish I could afford some lovely markers but I can't. I dont see why markers have to be so expensive!!!

So I did this as a promotion for

's portrait contest. GO JOIN!!! Go HERE
See ya.

will you please stop stealing! I had to put such nasty watermarks... and yet people still manage to steal it

P.S. the PRINT does not have watermarks! C:

Wonderful. What I love about this piece is that every bit of it is totally and completely you. The design, the style, the coloring...and apparantly the face as well.
I agree..."Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is a really bittersweet and beautiful song.
Just curious...I read a few lines in there that seem like they're your own thoughts...almost like a journal entry of sorts...relating to school and your thoughts about yourself it would seem...is that true?
I also see that there are some lines that seem like they're from fairytales or something...kind of like the concept of the perfect life we wish we could all have...the dream we wish to live in. Or maybe I'm just being weird. In which case...uh...my brother typed that last bit.
I like how there are questions written in which reflect the pain and hardship you're going through, and I also like the irony of the fact that they are written and masked over with bright colors...
Sorry...this comment is really incoherent...but there's just so much about this piece that I want to touch on...there are just so many levels to it.
I think I just found my new favorite work of yours...
Great, great work.
I knew your next piece would be worth the wait.

Almira Gulch! Just because you own half the county doesn't mean you have the power to run the rest of us. For twenty-three years, I've been dying to tell you what I thought of you. And now, well, being a Christian woman, I can't say it.
