Micro-poetry: Brightly Coloured Whale Song

Micro-poetry: Brightly Coloured Whale Song

I’m lost adrift in the sloe,alone and so small. Puncturing the sedate seaA noble whale emitting a neon glow Its red & blue light trails behind;I can taste the stars that it has devoured. Mercury weeps as the beast heads into the electric skyLaying galaxies as it goes

Haibun: A Walk to the Precipice

Haibun: A Walk to the Precipice

My steps grow shorter. A cloak of snow longer than my imagination can currently muster, all weigh upon weary bones. Polite silence; awaiting an interjection. A word. An utterance. A sign of resilience. Gasps do not count. No longer a chill or a cold, instead, a paralysis that winds itself from my toes—tightening as it twists my empty stomach. Taking hold of my heart and weaving a noose around my…

So I've started learning sumi-e style of painting for an upcoming project. I've learned a few things. 1) It really is the perfect complimentary art form for Haiku. They both use a minimalistic style. Every stroke, every word, counts. 2) I should have been practising illustration when I was younger. 😅 3) My skulls are cute in a weird way. 4) I'm still getting the hang of Procreate but it's a fantastic tool. If anyone who knows what they're doing could point me in the right direction for some good resources or tips in this style I would love to hear from you. #skullart #skullartwork #skull #digitalillustration #digitalart #artwork #procreateart #procreateartwork #artlover #arthelp #artgram #deadhead #digitalartwork #illustagram #illustratorsoninstagram #helpartist #illustratorsofinstagram #sumie #japaneseculture #cuteskull #ipaddrawing #ipadart #ipadartwork #tabletart #procreateillustration #procreateartworks #grayscale#artshare #artsharing (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLFJb3yAeGg/?igshid=kq7g8c2h53l6
