Art every day

Truth - 11-23-13

I have been sticking to my commitment to make art every day even if only a doodle or phone art, but have been having a hard time keeping up with blogging this week. I am starting a new medication which seems to make me very tired and migraines a daily occurrence. it's a bit better each day, but naps are a necessity not an option. Very frustrating and the migraines have meant I can't get on the phone or computer at all some days.

So I may not be blogging daily for a while. Although it is getting better, my dosage will be raised each timer out sues until I build up a tolerance to the medicine. more details coming soon on Mastcellaware.blogspot.com in a blog entry called "Starting Gastrocom"

In the mean time, here it's some pieces I made yesterday:

Mediations, mandalas and unicorns

A friend asked me to draw her a unicorn. I told her I don't really do that kind of art, but I could draw a  mandala inspired by unicorns. I have been having a ton of fun playing with that idea since and this is the Fantasy series that resulted. It started with a unicorn horn and moved on from there.

Walter Allied

Walter is am amazing ally to the Trans community. I had planned to interview Jack for todays blog and walter for next month,  but the fates conspired. So I thought instead, today I would share some portraits I made of Walter and a poem I wrote about him.  Interviews still to come.

Walter Allied:

Walter - Got yer Back - 11-7-13

He's a long hair 

sharp words and a quick  Glare

He'S Stomping the lies politicians are spinning

Downing the hooch, rhymes pour from WithIn him. 

Puffin on his sticks while the tunes are WINning

dude isn't gonna hide that he's on our side.

,He stands for our rights even knowin' that the fight is a long haul. Gonna make the best crawl

Still ... 

...

Holds our colors with pride,

shows he's on our side, 

'cuz the T is not silent 

when an ally packs the rhymes with more than a nod, 

yeah the actions go behind it.  

Spitting his words, 

at the late night hour

Shows that he cares

When speaking from power

 He stands for our rights even knowin' that the fight is a long haul. Gonna make the best crawl 

Get our backs against the wall...

But Walter has a word, 

More like two or three

For the brother or sister

Longing to be free.

He's always there for a friend in their darkest hour 

He knows.the words we speak.they come.with a power

Dissent is the way

That he shows his love

Walter Allied - 11-7-13

So watch out world cuz here he comes

He stands for our rights
even knowin' that the fight is a long haul.
|Gonna make the best crawl,
get our backs against the wall...still...

...He's In it for the long haul
