I haven't been able to draw/paint anything of my own because of my long-term illness, so I've been doing a lot of coloring. Completing these neon pictures was very soothing.

This is great Astera!! I love the squirrel!

What has to come ? Will my heart grow numb ?
How will I save the world ? By using my mind like a gun
Seems a better weapon, 'cause everybody got heat
I know I carry mine, since the last time I got beat

I'm digging that purple! It must have taken a while to do each one with each of those little lines. It looks really good!

Thanks, Thomas! Yeah, it did take awhile, but I didn't mind because it was pretty meditative.

I made these with an app called Color Therapy. (It has drawings of many things other than people; this is just the type of thing I wanted to color. The eternal feminine - all are different versions of myself).

"Warrior Woman," my first photomanipulation since January. I forgot how to do it, so it's very simple! Source photo from Jagged Eye, Deviantart.

Some Photoshop art. This took FOREVER. I don't know how to draw, so I traced a couple of photos of my horses and the mountains outside my house before doing all the coloring and shading.

I'd really like to use this as a cover page for a web comic that I'll call The Northward Way (not a funny comic, but more of a dramatic, epic story). The beautiful art in Minna Sundberg's comic, A Redtail's Dream , inspired me to try to create my own. It won't be nearly as beautiful because I don't know what I'm doing, but oh, well.

So I made this book cover - for an ebook I have yet to write! My anxiety has so affected my writing that I haven't been able to finish anything for years. But I really want to write this little series based on a time-travel story I wrote for my mom awhile ago. Hopefully, with a lot of moral support, I'll be able to work through my anxiety.
