I don’t have a lot of words these days, at least not readily available. Sometimes I can find the words but, mostly, they’re inaccessible.
I think it’s just because life is constantly overwhelming for me right now. I can still function and get the most important stuff done, but it takes everything I’ve got. Reading, hearing and interpreting words is more difficult too, unless they’re within music. Somehow the music helps.
Images still easily speak to and for me though. I know what they are saying, but not with words. It’s more like knowing by just knowing….a feeling, sense or understanding that doesn’t need or require words.

This is how the boxes of clippings begin. Pretty full and random. And there’s like 50 of these boxes.
I have to organize the clippings in some way in order to be able to use them. I might even use them to make ‘art-covers’ on journals that I’ll then sell.
I think it will be worth it. I just have to keep telling myself that it’ll be worth it. 😐

Childhood dreams
I found old drawings I made when I was 6.
While I analysed it I realised that I identified with the dragon.
So now I wondered what kind of dragon would stay true to the old drawing and yet represent my current self. Soon I discovered that the dragon I drew resembled a dragon I really liked from Httyd (my childhood series). I looked it up and the personality description matched.
So I decided to redraw it.
Here are the results.
For anyone wondering, here is the link to the dragon: Prickleboggle (Franchise)
Prickleboggle (Franchise)
The Prickleboggle is a Mystery Class[1] dragon that first appeared in School of Dragons as a Sharp Class dragon. Prickleboggle eggs are typically oval in shape, much like most avian eggs. They are lime green in color with several brown spots studding the surface. In Dragons: Rise of Berk, the brown spots are raised, almost appearing like stone nuggets embedded on the shell. In School of Dragons, the egg is similar but with smaller and more brown spots. It very much resembles a Terrible...

Trying to organize my Dad’s magazine clipping collection (he passed June 2024)
The binder is something he did. Maybe he had plans to put many of the clippings in binders like that (in combinations that pleased him) but he only only ended up doing one.
I’m organizing them in a different way; by color, type, etc., so I can more easily use them to make art.
