Vulnerable

No matter how vulnerable you may feel at times.
Times when you feel the earth crumbling beneath your feet,
and there are no rocks who will hold it all together,
know that you will always have something...
something that will  protect you from letting the dreaded rain
wash away the rest of the earth that holds firm under you.
So hold on tight and let the moment pass
and the strength you have always possessed will return,
soon enough.

Carpe Diem

An illustration of the phrase "Carpe Diem" which means to seize the day.

Uplifted

I have tried to show the cleansing of one's soul through this illustration. 

If you ask me I don't know what it means, but on some level I know that it can occur due to an experience that brings forth strong emotions that completely transforms you mentally.... making you stronger. 

To quote a friend who unknowingly has given the perfect explanation to my sketch:

"that transformation from being scared...to accepting... and gathering courage... and finally, LETTING IT GO....that's the journey that makes everything worth gold"

Cyclops Caves

This is a place that appeared in a dream I had a few weeks ago and has been haunting me ever since. There was really nothing special just some strange rock or ice formations with still waters so blue, I have never seen in real life. What struck me most was that is was completely devoid of life but had a life of its own. That is why space and all its heavenly bodies have always fascinated me... there is so much power and movement in these stars that pulsate and make their presence known to us, that one cannot imagine them as inanimate objects.
