Blackout poetry – Wingless

“Wingless female specimen of the queen/exempt from participation in society/blind workers erect/waiting upon pointed enemies/These wonderful structures/transported by the wind/are most curious and complicated/adapted in shape and size/to who is appropriate/well-turned/it rests upon the floor.”

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
