Info

so you want to draw like me?

get yourself sick
wear your family's sorrow like a thousand dollars prom dress.
hurl your existence onto a pristine A4 canvas.

there has never been
magic
here
only visible wounds
with no intention of getting better.

i don't know much about art yet,
but I've come to understand the actual distinction between an artist and a lunatic.

while a lunatic pays to control her sickness

an artist gets paid
to become her sickness

are you still hungry yet, father?

i don't think there has been one single moment since i was 9, where i haven't been clenching my jaw

to whom do i owe the biggest apology?

must i endure so much pain, anger and rage just to come out to the other side?
