nobody knows

is this all that you want

One of the advantages of being nocturnal, is seeing things like this.
It seemed abnormally light when i finally switched my light out at around 3am last night/this morning. I almost didn't get up to inspect the strange, orangey glow coming through my curtains but my curiousity usually gets the better of me.
To my delight, it was snowing and the streetlights were turning my little corner of the world a bright, burnt orange.
No-one else in my family witnessed this because they sleep normal hours but i don't mind.
I like to see things others don't.

christmas morning creeps

We are all about the twinkly lights in the Boyd household.
I don't normally partake in Christmas decorations in my room, mostly out of laziness, but this year i invested in some metallic star lights. They have smaller stars cut out of them, which means they do this to my room:

I'm kind of in love with them.

that secret that you know

'It's Running You With Red'

Drawn a few months ago. I had forgotten its existence, as my sketchbooks have been tucked away in drawers, ready to come out when the need to work again struck - just tingles right now but it's coming.

This is a piece entirely open to interpretation, even for myself as i forced no particular story. It was an experiment into the collaboration of images and whether a tangible link could be made between them. I don't really like to force things as i'm interested in real life and the absurdities that naturally go with it. So, in order to 'create' an image, which generally goes against the grain of reality, i took a shot in the dark with my reference material and let the work grow from there. I'm not sure if it works but it's one of my favourites.

10 points for those who know who the first image is of.

My apologies for the absolutely crap quality of this photograph, my camera cannot handle black or my caffeine addict hands.

'The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - that you'd thought special, particular to you. And here it is, set down by someone else, a person you've never met, maybe even someone long dead. And it's as if a hand has come out, and taken yours.'

I just ruined the season finale of True Blood for myself.
I suck.
Pun intended.
