Hush

Pull fire from your face till you’re boarded and blue

with eyes dark as stone

stiff

and icy to touch

though melodies spout from your heart

red and true

be quiet as moonlight

for songs strip you bare

“Progress” by Athalia Johnson

I feel that’s it’s harder to begin a project because it’s frustrating to work out which part to work on first and create the structure for what will become a finished piece. Finishing a project is easier because you’re adding details and final touches and are more clear-headed about what you want the final outcome to be.

No Room for Pierre

No Room for Pierre by Angie Hoover-Hillhouse

I started with the cartoon of the lonely, french babyman. When he was done, I noticed that his expression was very dreary and disheartened, so I added the tub filled with others just like him enjoying a group bath. The backgrounds that I drew ended up distracting from the absurdity, so I moved on without completing the piece. I really would like to blow it up and hang it in my kitchen one day.
