Why can’t you see?
Is it because I read when you look?
Search soulless for meaning in every breath
while you take in deep
Restless while you sleep
Will you recoil when I do unto you what you do to me
Tremble when I choose not to speak?
There’s joy and anguish here
Relish and pleasure here
Is that all?
As the semester is coming to an end, I’m going back home! So I decided to post some travel-themed pictures, including some of my city 🙂
Happy finals!
Hey guys!
As a STAMPS student, I feel really fortunate that this semester I don’t have any finals and I was able to head home a week early! I know a lot of people who are currently struggling through finals and you guys got this! This week is a little bit of a self-portrait because I am wearing my favorite Christmas sweater in this drawing. It is a Tom Nook sweater (animal crossing) that my partner got for me from Game Stop. I am really excited about my classes next semester, which will include ceramics and fabric construction. I am really looking forward to spending more time with my family over break. The program I used for this image, as well as all of my other images is Procreate.
See you next week,
Marissa
Sadness is an essential part of the human experience. It may not be all that pleasant, but if you feel sad, it’s important to embrace it. It’s there for a reason, so listen to it.
The tale of Snow White by the Brothers Grimm initially depicts Snow White as being a child. However, the story is quite dark when the evil queen/stepmother tries to murder Snow White three times and finally succeeded on the fourth try with the famed poisoned apple. Many depictions of Snow White, including the Disney movie adaptation, show Snow White as being much older than the original tale, usually as a teen. I wanted to create a Snow White that was younger in appearance, so I made her face very large and round. I was inspired by the chibi style in Japanese anime/manga, and also by Strawberry Shortcake. 
For my story, many of the side characters have horns. Some families have particular horn shapes. A group of people has horns based on the beaks of tropical birds, others on comets and glass. Some horns float, and others can move like attached spider legs. It’s fun to come up with all these concepts.
