Winter's ReposeI immediately associate this word with my childhood.

The last time I saw snow was when I was eight years old, before my family left our home in New York, to a tropical climate, for the promise of a life that never materialized. To this day, I associate humid weather with stagnation and torment.

But thinking back to then, when seasons made me intensely aware of cycles and the pleasant movement of time, I think of coats thick as clouds and tall boots a few sizes too large that I quickly grew to fill. We were poor and walked everywhere, miles, even in the snow. No car. I never minded. It didn't even occur to me to mind. Innocence. Happin

Resurrection of GeniusThey call him "Weirdo Willy"
They call him "Wacko Jacko"

People said they could never do
The things of which they dreamed
Gifted geniuses each in their own rights
They did the impossible anyway

Are they beings from another world?
Certainly they possess powers not of this one

Childhood abandoned them on a dark shore
So they swum by imagination's moonlight
Sunlight's fire burns the delicate
As it burns the wings of angels

A burst of color and sugar
A dancing swirl of glitter

Their gifts won them luxury
Luxury won them enemies
In the guise of friends
The men cover their faces
And hide inside their minds

There in the circus p

OblivionI've been extra quiet and distant everywhere lately.

I 'overloaded' pretty badly, that thing where my mind feels like its suffocating from humans and anxiety overwhelms me. Took me a while to get my head on a little straighter this time.

Problem is, people who know you want to know what's wrong and I…don't want/need/am unsure how to explain.

I just need to get alone in the shadows and work it out myself; intellect vs. darker desires. People start to feel very intrusive, without really trying.

People don't understand that I tolerate them; It's like being an alien in an itchy, clunky costume. I need a break. I have to take it off and l

Simple JoyI saw it today in the form of a child. A little Asian girl, no bigger than an Oompa-loompa, the youngest of three sisters. All of them were blowing bubbles across the street from where I live. Well, the youngest was trying. Most of all she was enjoying fruitlessly chasing after the ones her sisters blew while shouting with utter cheer at the top of her lungs, "Mama, Mama!!" "Bubble, Bubble, BUBBLE!!"

As if to say: "How could anyone not understand how marvelous floating, iridescent spheres that pop when you touch them are?! Things that appear from only a breath?!"

...The One to His Heartby ~idolhands

Fan Art / Traditional Art / Drawings / Movies & TV

This was the first artwork that I'd drawn in years. It was inspired by Valentine's Day and the many friends I had made through the movie CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY. Although I like both adaptations from the book, Burton's movie has had a deep impact on me for its breath-taking visual effect (I've watched it dozens of times and I see something new each sitting), Depp's multi-faceted performance, and the inner pain that it touched within my own soul.

A few comments on my own art:

1. Yes, it is freehand (only way I draw).
2. No, I don't use drugs (not even caffeine this time).
3. It's a pencil doodle that took on a life of its own.
4. A surreal study of how I imagine the candymaker's mind to work; how the world might appear when viewed through his eyes.

Everyone always asks me if I use drugs when I draw my Willy Wonka pics.... XD But really, Willy Wonka isn't Willy Wonka unless it's trippy looking! Creativity is the best drug.

I'm not commenting honestly, well not properly, if I say everything I'll be here all day

But my God those eyes are so beautiful. WOW.

The glimpse of the Golden Ticket is a fabulous touch. The detail on the chain, all the clockwork imagery and all done freehand too. Stunning. I love the look on Charlie's face, it's a great mixture of excitement and adoration and Willy seems so vulnerable, excited and apprehensive. God there are so many things this picture suggests to me. There is something of a labour of love in this piece which really shines through, something strangely gentle in your pencil work

It's wonderful.

I'm sorry it took me a bit to respond to this. I've been rather lost in a daze lately. People like you are a blessing. Truly. Thank you.

!V2-Schneider Jun 15, 2009

Oh no, don't worry it's okay, I just hope you're alright

I've put this picture on my wall because it makes me smile so much. It's not often you come across something that conveys such an emotional mixture.

You're always welcome and thank you, you're too kind.

(Oh, next time you wander off in a daze I'm giving you a piece of string so you don't get lost
