Love this painting and enjoyed watching its development on the notes. The poem is dope, holdmeclose, love that. I've recently been getting back into drawing/sketching and have enjoyed how it breaks up or creates space around other creative work. Appreciate the insight on process and seeing the poem through the painting before finishing it.
Its beneficial to incorporate other mediums into a creative practice. We can be dedicate to the primary one because that's the one that calls to us the loudest but we shouldn't deny ourselves the freedom to explore more.
1) the way that you connect words and style them so that they can look like art
2) your artwork always speaks to my soul - its so intricate - filled with so many stories and interpretations
3) as you may know, this theme of duality and becoming has been following me - so much so that I'm pursuing it on a deeper, almost life thesis level, and now it feels like works like these SCREAM at me because this?!
Your art is beautiful. Your words are beautiful. Like, ma'am. "Dangling jaws sang of praise as disdain aired between the gaps of weightless words"???? That's pure heat, feeling, emotion and tied within that breathtaking painting, the story is seen and heard.
Your art is very beautiful and inspiring. I wanted to make the switch from digital to oil paint and completely left the idea on the back burner but now I feel motivated to try. Thank you for that.
I have a lot of respect for digital artists and my experience with it is minimal. It's a textural thing with me and to engage all my senses. I'm sure its probably easier to pick up your digital tools with easy pack and go. For me, I pack a small load of my supplies in a tote bag. I'll give digital art another try someday because I got some ideas.
I completely understand when you say textural. Before digital art my medium was charcoal and the switch was jarring but eventually it clicks if you keep at it, such is true for most things.
I was reminded of the Solomon Grundy rhyme, keeping the alliteration but changing the meaning contrasted with the rest of the beats— you don’t pull punches.
Alliterations are my favorite and I don't know how to not include them in poetry now. My earliest memories of writing poetry I played with them.
In this poem I wanted shorter lines, more emphasis on the pauses and compressing certain words. Rhythmic changes. The words sound like they're dancing.

Amen! This is very wise and really appreciate your engagement in painting and writing. It’s a dope combo 💪🏽
Oh... oh my damn.
I'm in awe for many of reasons:
1) the way that you connect words and style them so that they can look like art
2) your artwork always speaks to my soul - its so intricate - filled with so many stories and interpretations
3) as you may know, this theme of duality and becoming has been following me - so much so that I'm pursuing it on a deeper, almost life thesis level, and now it feels like works like these SCREAM at me because this?!
Your work is always worth the wait. A L W A Y S!
Very beautiful writing. This is a piece of art. Keep writing, fellow writer!

I haven't used charcoal in a few years. I like it but need more practice.
Fuckinggoddamnfuck! That last line hits.
Those lines hit too hard!!! 😫 They took on multiple meanings that I wasn't ready for and I noticed it last night.
Thanks for reading M.P.!♥️✨♥️

Always! Its my pleasure 😁
Yeah I like the Solomon Grundy rhyme.

Very visual! I loved the last lines. And I’ve enjoyed watching the stages of creation of this piece. Lovely!
The last lines punched me this morning
Deeply moving, I want to take time to sit with each line. Brilliant work Alex
Please do and take those lines in chunks♥️✨♥️
I love it!! The poem, your art, your words.
I really like the metacognitive postscript. Very cool
