a personal collection of small things
which inspire me to remain alive in a cruel world.
works of art and artifice; little lies.

Above illustration by Ron Cobb. Ron Cobb, who worked on Disney’s Sleeping Beauty in the 1950s, then went on to become a criminally under-celebrated political cartoonist. Simple images speak volumes, and this one, well, it’s a firm reminder of the dark shadows that trail our footsteps. Happy Thanksgiving, fellow Americans. Let us celebrate and be thankful for what we have, but remember also that all things come at a cost. Let us consider as well our iniquities, that we might keep ourselves from repeating them.
