Description I brought you flowers.
Will you smile for me?

It was black, then. Black as night, as hearts, as the back of her mind. There were words, too. Words, uttered dark and savoury, that poured down her veins like honey to her heart. She gulped them hungrily, drunk after a too-long drought.

He appeared then in a shock of light and, like the creator of the world, he observed her musingly and smiled a Cheshire cats grin.

β€œIt is good.”

This was partially inspired by that top thing I wrote in Seattle (the only thing that took a coherent shape. The rest were too engrossed in their conversations to pay heed to me). I'm usually wary of putting up my prose writings -my true and original passion, actually- because they are mostly moments, captured in the slight of a shadow, or frozen in mid-flight by me. But because this fits yet does not at all, here you go.

Drawing is, a lot of time, a tangible method I use to exploring my world and its inhabitants- a little like taking photographs. It's not so common I actually take the time to reveal the landforms of my world, so here is a glimpse, a glimpse of a cat's world... Oh, and since this is the first time I'm actually 'illustrating' anything, I appreciate any comments/intepretations. I'm always curious to see your intepretations ^^.

whoa. really cool
a tip tho... if you're ok with crits... if you have photoshop or the like, try increasing the contrast. it gets rid of the 'atchiness' in the black parts
really cool art piece!

XD. I cannot promise more, but they've been bleeding out of me. I wonder what will happen next XP.

Yes, the cheshire cat is wonderfully inspiring x_x. This piece is dedicated to him. I just had to do something for him, for odd, irrelevant reasons. .

Hmm... well there's a lot of intepretations to this o_o. You could say she purposely 'stumbled' upon his world and he is projecting a part of himself (cat-games XD) for her, or that she is seeing her reflection, or the dream thing. I myself am not quite sure. It wnated to turn out that way XD.

I am very glad you like

....we shall just wait with baited breath for inspiration to strike you,....the kitties and I...mm,I find Lewis Carroll endlessly intriguing....odd reasons are often the best

I sometimes think it's best to leave interpretations open-ended...I liked Paul Klee's...*taking a line for a walk*...and seeing where it leads you.......and yes....I love it....

I'm not sure about being good, because a lot of my inking is subconsciously driven XP.

I am glad you like! It's a very cat-piece and involves a human, so the fact that flying-creatures you like it is a compliment .

Oh yes... *_____*

This kind of surrealism is, without doubt, my favorite.
