Queen Elizabeth II

“The world is not the most pleasant place. Eventually your parents leave you and nobody is going to go out of their way to protect you unconditionally. You need to learn to stand up for yourself and what you believe and sometimes, pardon my language, kick some ass.”
-Queen Elizabeth II

I Saw You Blink

Starry Eyed

Perfect Sky

It's possibly the most beautiful thing that you've ever seen, and all you want to do is reach up and run your fingers through that beautiful sky, catch a star between them and pull it back down.

Wire and Paper

I stumbled across the lovely site of Wire and Paper, and these beautiful paper flowers. Go take a look.

Rambling Man

Snowflakes

We'll catch the snowflakes and hang them up for everyone to see, hide them through the summer until we can set them free.

White

He thinks it's important, to take time out of your time to doodle things onto foggy panes in large, loopy, script, whether it be song lyrics, grocery lists or never to be seen 'I love you's.

Pumpkin

We now interrupt your winter festivities with the most intense pumpkin ever.

You may now continue.

Queen

"And that was when they crowned me queen," She tells him in her story teller voice, and sticks the crown on her head and does a quick spin, stopping only to look over her shoulder at him. "Don't you think I'd make a lovely queen? Someday?" She asks, and he can only smile softly as she spins away, distracted by something else already.

You're The Voice

This is one of my favourite songs. Huzzah for 80's power ballads!

Take Chances

William Wallace

Every man dies. Not every man really lives.

Paint Sound Sculptures

These photographs are made using sound and paint, and then capturing the result. Clicking the photograph will take you to more of these art pieces.

Rocks

The water and the moss both love the rocks, the strength that it holds and the silent power it demands, but they love very differently. The water takes its time, constantly moving but ever so slowly changing it into something completely different, something that is entirely it's own, while the moss just clings to every space it can, flourishing as long as it promises to never ever let go.

Light

The light falls from the sky like rain, filtering through the clouds, turning everything to gold. And as they lay there, he doesn't notice how the fields look like stars, but only how lovely the other looks, drenched in sunlight.

Fall

Elizabeth Akers

If thou canst love another, be it so;
I would not reach out of my quiet grave
To bind thy heart, if it should choose to go -
Love should not be a slave.

-Elizabeth Akers

Wake Up

Somethin' filled up

With nothin'

Someone told me not to cry

Salem - King Night

Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk

Miracles

Probably the most brilliant mashup I've seen/heard to date.

Talk With the Sea

Spine curved along the branch, limbs dangling on either side, she whispers things to the ocean, listening to the waves crash against the rocks in response, the tide moving in and out with the moon. She tells it all her secrets, and it whispers it's back. They keep each other's secrets, whispering them into the salty air, and wait for the sky to fall.

Tiny Frog

The balance of the world is a strange and powerful thing. Something the size of a raindrop can make the largest difference if you just give it the chance.

Drumming Song Remix

A=x+y+z

"If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut."

-Albert Einstein

The Underworld

A brilliant digital painting. A bit too long for this blog however, so follow the link.
