Card making and drawing

My cards and journals come with writing prompts & bits of inspiration. Junk journals are a lot more fun than they sound.

“There’s no “correct path” to becoming a real artist. You might think you’ll gain legitimacy by going to art school, getting published, getting signed to a record label. But it’s all bullshit, and it’s all in your head. You’re an artist when you say you are. And you’re a good artist when you make somebody else experience or feel something deep or unexpected.”
Amanda Palmer

Art work

I am a writer first and foremost, but the art bug bit me a few years ago. I haven’t been able to stop and I’ve spent an absurd amount of money on art supplies and vintage papers. I have bought doubles of things, forgetting I own them already. 😉 One of my greatest joys is combining art and writing. You can see more of my work at www.facebook.com/taraannlesko

Serotonin with a side of fries, please – mixed media, writings, crafts, random musings, art, & book excerpts

This page was my first and only baby. I’m not sure who reads my work and how many, and that’s okay. Numbers don’t do anything for me. I write and create to keep myself from jumping in front of a moving bus. But at the end of the day, every writer wants to be read, so I thank you for giving my work a chance. By all means, respond. I’d love to hear from readers in the comments and have meaningful or nonsensical conversations. Feel free to criticize, but if the criticism fails to be constructive or if it’s illogical, you will probably be ignored. Please believe that everyone has an amazing story to tell. I hope I can inspire you to find your way to tell it.  Look for me at http://www.facebook.com/taraannlesko, http://www.idrankfromthegardenhose.com, or http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheForgottenWord

Feel free to share your stuff in the   comments or just say what’s up.
