If only people knew what I ate. It’s shameful. To me, it’s more than the required and balanced fuel my body needs. It’s a spiritual necessity and sometimes even a tool of punishment. Most of all, it’s a barometer of my emotional health. When I’m happy, I want to eat. And food is a big factor in my ‘being happy’ equation. When I’m sad, I stop eating. And when I decide to cut down on food, I get sad. So, this is me in a nutshell: I’m skinny when I’m sad, depressed, worried, or anxious. And when I’m happy, care-free and jubilant, I’m teetering over to the heavy side. Now you know.

In a ring, which two artists would you enjoy watching fight? I know, it’s mean but I find the notion extremely funny. Thank you, Marcus.

I went to Jarir Bookstore this morning for what was supposed to be an in-and-out trip for primer and brushes. I made the mistake of being on the phone as I shopped. When I got home and unpacked, I saw that I had picked up-and paid for-a lovely, hardcover, A5 sketchbook. As pleasantly surprised as I was, I rolled my eyes and thought: oh no, not another one. *incidentally, I did get off the phone at the check out counter but didn’t notice it even then.

it's funny how this picture came about. i started with the central figure, as i usually do. then i was interrupted by the door people. a few minutes later the bell rang again and it was josie who cleans my home every saturday. i KNEW my pictures were directly influenced by everyday events. but never this closely
So. What’s happening here?
