Nico Silvester Busy, Busy, Busy

I think I may finally have gotten back in the groove of things. Part of the problem is that I do too many things. I write, I make books, I draw (and write) comics. Plus I have a job (granted, it's only part-time and I work from home). I might have to get another job. And I seem to have signed up for too many social networks. I have a Facebook profile that I check regularly, a MySpace profile I hardly ever look at, a blog, a deviantART page that I update quite often these days, and profiles here… Continue

PJ Hornberger comments

I've been looking at all the great art on this site. Very good artist, exceptional work... good photos of their art... only one thing missing... comments. Very few leave comments, me included. It takes less than a minute, and can make someone's day, entire week... and doesn't cost us a thing. I'm going to try to change my bad habit, how about you? :) PJ Continue

Elizabeth Littlepage (elms72701) Clockwork

Between life and death lie the pills. Longer lines like deeper breaths and riverbend gradations. Some accent of delirium, tonality of the soul. Precipitous thanks and lassitudes, always mobile. Unfortunately, this blog does not allow you to format the entry, so you'll just have to imagine indentions scattered through the poem. Even so, I hope you enjoy it. If you do, I'll add others.

Elizabeth Littlepage (elms72701) Altered abuse book

Hi everyone, I've posted an altered book I did about child abuse. Be forewarned that there is sensitive material. It is my first altered book, and I loved every minute of it. It really helped me process, and so was in some ways a therapeutic tool. It's very personal, but I feel safe sharing it with you all here. Let me know what you think! Continue
