Trenchcoat Dream
I just woke up from a dream where I was wearing a trenchcoat and only my pajamas underneath. I didn’t even have shoes, but I did have my phone and my wallet. I had just been released from the hospital and was trying to walk home even though the night was a rainy one. At…

Crawling Brain
I have mainly been doing my art in two formats lately. I have an app on my phone called SketchPad and a program on my computer called GIMP2. Today I tried to draw a walnut on my phone. It needed something, so I gave it legs and a little trail behind it. It still needed…
