Black and white scratch art depicting two panels of twinkling stars, framing a patch of grass with a plant growing and reaching for the dot-and-dash beams of sunlight radiating from above.

Drawing with sharp objects.

All things are connected.

Late insomnia nights are excellent for writing.

The pairing of darkness and silence leaves plenty of space to be colored by imagination.

Night blackened trees reach up toward a vivid and eerie magenta light, saturating the heart of voluminous white-gray clouds.

A possible aurora seeped through the clouds the other night. There was nothing but pasture and trees beneath it.

Whatever it was, it was beautiful. ๐Ÿ’œ

A black sheet of scratch paper has been scraped to reveal the white layer beneath. A triangle is filled with chime-like vertical lines ending in dots and dashes. The triangle top is crowned by a circle filled with stars. Two curving lines seem to radiate from the triangle beneath the circle and the negative space is resounding.

Simplicity.

I thought about filling this scratch art with detailโ€ฆ but I kind of like the negative space too.

Black scratch paper has been scraped with an xacto craft knife, illustrating a sharply pointed triangle filled with asymmetrical subjects. Arrows  and cut flowers rain down on a trio of weeping eyes, while plants grow and unfurl from below. A single spearhead points upward at the peak of triangle.

Rolling up my sleeves for final edits.

There are so many details to track in original world fantasy epics. Keeping organized notes is imperative! Every edit requires note updates. An encyclopedia is beginning to take shape!

A beetle and a wild plum.

The beetle knows to keep their friends close and their snacks closer!

A rough digital painting of a vivid twilight sky in rich hues of purple, indigo, pink, orange and gold. An array of meteors sail across the night sky over a sea of fluffy clouds. One meteor is prominent, with four in the midground and sixteen far in the background. The meteors have an amber glow.

Mistakes were made. I stayed up all night. I'm doomed.

I drew until my eyes were blurry and I was half asleep. I wanted to write a poem with it but my cognitive capabilities have been gone for several hours now.
