A small quote can take you a long way

Small quotes seem to have a lot more impact to me, so i decided to illustrate a few. Of course nobody beats the buddha, he whoops ass when it comes to catchy sayings with lots of meaning.

"Are you an angel?"
"No", replied the Buddha.
"You must be a spirit then?"
"No, I'm not a spirit," said the Buddha.
"Then what are you?"
"I'm awake."

Suzuki Shunryu:
The world is its own magic. Makes you think happy thoughts.

The sketchy version of the next picture: It will look better in colour -_-


The Buddha: You only lose what you cling to.


Front cover = finished
I wanted to make my own pattern to go in the background to give it a bit more detail and make it more interesting. 


Profile page for the book: i thought i might as well add a profile page because............. im cool like that. I haven't added any text to it yet though because im not too sure what im going to put.

L.E.T.F

The world will be a better place when you can vomit yourself a new body. My new title thing. 

Lets all buy beanie hats and hide rabbits in our shirts. 

Its a work in progress: The front page illustration for my mini portfolio thing. Yes it is a rabbit. Again.


Sometimes when im thinking i realise that im actually not thinking and am just staring into space. When i try to think about it in detail my brain heats up and starts to smoke. Not good.

Fairytale me






Red riding hood, Snow white, Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel and of course good old Alice. Fairytale stories like to pretend that they are all nice and good so people will buy them and read them to their children at night, but we know that secretly they are just as sick as everything else. For example if rapunzel WAS actualy by herself in that tower for so long, unless she took up Buddhism she would most definatley have been a cutter. For these illustrations i tried to think about what the charactors are actualy like and not what people pretend they are. In my opinion it gives them a lot more flavour. Skittles blue flavour.
