Kaneko Ayano – ‘people and their thing’
I wrote this a couple of days ago when I went to a little gig by this amazing Japanese singer-songwriter called Kaneko Ayano. I realised that writing songs that are filled with love and hope is her thing, and I’m happy it is. I am inspired tonight – Kaneko ayano has inspired me! A small woman…

Sun and Moon Poem
I am the sun and I am the moon. These words might have been written before, but I don’t have the energy to check. I am the rain on my own window, constantly falling against my own walls. I am the clouds that haze away any sense of confidence, though I can be bright like…

Passions
Hi all!!! Been a while! Lets set up today’s little scene, I’m finishing up drafting this post on my bedroom floor and listening to one of my best friends co-host a radio show, isn’t that so cool? It’s inspiring really. I’m wondering if I should nip out and get a coffee from the Cally before…

Nostalgia (part 1)
Can I express nostalgia for the child I used to be? Spending time by the sea, in the glens, jumping rivers in the rain? Now I live in the city. I don’t sit in the garden for hours, I don’t pick daisies and I don’t search for lucky four-leaf clovers I don’t have a stray…

I am trees, wooden beams The mist on the bathroom mirror My bedroom door. I wish to be small so my worries are small too. I wish to have big ears so I can listen more carefully. I wish to know answers and what to do. I wish my goals had targets, so I had…

Childhood Toys
Did you have a childhood toy? If so, does its memory mean anything to you now? Mine was a beagle which I named ‘Fluffy Fun’. I lost him forever on a family holiday when I was 7 or 8 years old (shedding many tears), but I’ll always remember his impact on my personality. How did…

Making a 24 hour comic
Over the last few weeks, I have been making my own 24 hour comic. The rule of 24 hour comics is that you can only spend 24 hours drawing it- therefore a lot of pre-planning is involved in the project. I started out by making a brief storyboard and mind-map and then went from there.…

2 months of art school in London
I’ve been going to art school in London for 2 months now, OH what a time it has been. Something I want to mention is the amount of change that I’ve experienced and the highs and lows I’ve felt. LONELY? Loneliness is inevitable, but living in an attic room (where artists have lived before me)…
