Cartooned Storied Life and my brain is on fire...



A few years ago I would always post "running in circles" in my profiles. It became a motto and  I think it came from the notion that I constantly felt like I wasn't going anywhere...at a frantic pace. 

Which is a lie. 

We are always moving forward or sideways, or all directions - whichever way you view time.  Anyway, although this quote may or may not ring true, today I feel it may make for a better description of my mind loops and my inability to shake any bad, muting thoughts. 

In a burning, instinctual - obsessive compulsive - anxiety driven - rabid frenzy read:


"...Oh here's a thought! let me run with it (because I have no choice!) Blah, blah, blah...And I'm trapped, AGAIN! Drats!..."
Repeat.
Endless Loop.

And I'll almost stop here.  
But first, here's a thought...I NEED ALL of this to be tangible.



So my sketch book is looking like a diary. It seems natural for me to summarize my days in a short series of resonating quotes or phrases, accompanied by small, ridiculous illustrations. I've also been penning anything overheard or "quote worthy" down. If you're lucky you'll get a peek. 

Yea, you're lucky...
