2012January
I had my heart broken
again and
again
every time they clasped hands.
The man in the
blue box
made me feel
like I was important
just for a moment.

February
I wrote a story that
a couple
people liked.
It blew my head up
like a red balloon.
I nursed the
broken heart
from two months before
this time,
it beat in a different chest.

March
I must have slept
through all 31 days
because I can't
remember
a
thing

April
My heart was squeezed
through unknowing fingers
and when I finally allowed it
to fall,
it wanted to stay.

I cut my hair to my shoulders.

May
I tried to find my
life story
and did not succeed.

June
I learned that I did
Teacup FriendsWe brew cups of tea and remember them thirty minutes later. The water is still warm when we pull out the teabag, but the liquid is thick and smells bitter. We drink it anyway;the syrupy liquid coats our throats and stains our stomachs. We drink it anyway, since we took the time to make it.

We figure they are like that; bitter, forgotten cups of tea that we invested so much time in making. (We even give them names: Earl Grey, Peppermint, Breakfast Blend, and Chamomile.)

Chamomile was the first to go, clipping the hair above his ears, buttoning himself up inside a black pea coat, tying it all up with a noose-like scarf around his neck.

Keep It TogetherShe had a breakdown in the bathroom again.

Her hands clenched the sides of the sink, knees trembling as her body slid down slowly. Her chest heaved with exhaustion, mouth gasping for more air; eyes glimmering with fresh tears.

There is no explanation.

Her husband sat in their children's bedroom, reading the same short story for the fifth time that night. Their daughter already fell asleep on the other side of the room. She knew her son kept looking at the sticker stars she put on the walls. The nightlight spun tiny circles like planets orbiting the room. He loved everything about outer space.

Yes, think about him. Think about your childre

I am VERY pleased with how this turned out. the design came from three places; one was Frank Miller's graphic novel "300", another was from a computer game called Civlization IV, and the third from my head. i combined different aspects of each and i think it came out amazing. about 1 hour to complete. enjoy!

Wow! This picture is very accurate and it is very detailed! Well done!

I'm currently researching medieval helmets as part of my coursework. May I have your permission to use this as a resource?

that shit is tight!!! I'm actually wanting to get a spartan hoplite tattoo and i would be very grateful if you would be able to help me out with a sketch or drawing of one. I'm wanting a helmet, shield and a weapon (sword or spear). it has quite a significant meaning to me and my personal life and struggles. i hope u will be able to help me out. but none the less kickass drawing
