Description my friends are all
my insides. inside outsides.
inside out boy. they have become outlines.
attached to the strings of my unraveling sweaters.

this looks nothing but scribbley. and i drew it on weird paper..
and i don't care.
nope i do care. i do. i do.
the color on this looks different on this computer.
i hate variations with color in computer monitors.
poop. i don't like uploading things anymore.
it gives me too much anxiety.

my very favourite type of artwork is the scribbly kind, where you just don't care and nothing really makes sense..
you are so very poetic, i'm almost jealous. i've missed it. i've missed reading your things.

this is by the way

Omg, I miss everything by having a chaotic watch list. I have got to clean it up. I can't believe I didn't see this sooner.

It really bothers me that I didn't see this sooner.

But enough about me.

I love this. I really do. I know I say that about, like, everything you post, but it's true. I can't help it.
This reminds me a little bit of something Amanda Palmer drew. It was called "Map of my Soul" or something like that. I tried to find it on the internet, but I couldn't.

I love the way the face is cut off, and we can only see from the nose down. But the entire face is not cut off-- I think that makes all the difference.
I love your style- the finished-looking skin tones, and the rougher sketch lines, and then the light red lines. I love the sweater merging with the dotted and sewn lines of the subject's insides. I love the detail of one hand scratching the other wrist. I love the couple of strings that don't have tags attached.
And I love how open and personal and honest it all seems. It's raw. Like punk.

God, I love your drawings. I know I just posted on your journal, trying to be neutral, and I do want you to do what's best for you, and I do agree with what someone else said, that a break might be the best thing -- but I will (selfishly) miss your updates!

i enjoy your drawings, they all have a certain truth to them

i noticed you have two blue strings with no names attached,
lonely little possibilities?

Your lips look chapped and sad.
I like the way they get like that,I do.
I know you don't.

This picture makes me feel sad.Bad sad.
But,it's real.It's right in the way that those things are true.

If I wasn't feeling sad about it,I would think this was a very nice.picture.
Beautiful like you,and like an open door.
The way that you can tell your feelings in your pictures,like they're obvious but they're also not.
The way you're a door in real life.

Anyways.
I don't know what to say.
But guess what,I love you.
And I'm sorry those strings are there.
Maybe I'll send you a pair of scissors.You could cut them out and fill them with good things instead.

I like how the roughness flows through the whole picture. From the lips [they look chapped?] down to the tense hands and frayed thread.
It's good Casey.

Cwoz In reply to rawrimgodzilla [2011-12-05 04:46:19 +0000 UTC]

hey, they could be chapped..
my lips are always chapped.

i'm glad you think it's good.
thanks.

Chapped lips hurt but sometimes the fit the aspect.
I get them a lot and when I was little I would lick them which only made it worse.

No problem!

Cwoz In reply to rawrimgodzilla [2011-12-06 05:34:58 +0000 UTC]

i hate my chapped lips. but i love them at the same time.
same with my itchy knees. and the bump in my nose.
i hate imperfections. and i love them. weird weird weird.

and yeah, licking chapped lips makes them a billion times worse. :c

Not weird. [:
I have scratchy elbows. I like them more often then not.

Bleh. It got so bad once that I had a scab around my mouth. Super gross.

Fxxk [2011-12-04 23:37:40 +0000 UTC]

amazing, as always. awe-inspiring even.
everything you do encompasses the very meaning of art
because you fill it with so much emotion
that we all tend to feel /something/ while appreciating it.
never stop. never never. i want to see more and feel more.
they go hand in hand.

This is so deep, I really like the texture and lines on the sweater, as well as the sketchy organs and connections to names and actions.
I love the concept so much.

I'm in no position to say more, although I wish I could help. But words can't always do everything.
I hate seeing people down, or seemingly down, but you're certainly not alone.
