crazy people are everywhere.
I might be one of them,
but I bet you are too.

Build Yourself A House

I like drawing houses. I don't know why exactly but there's something comforting about linking a series of straight lines, knowing that every line is going to turn into something big, something with structure, something everyone can understand and relate to, something that in a small but significant way speaks to the soul. I refuse to use a ruler, my lines are not perfect and the final result is never wholly symmetrical, but each house has character, each house looks like a home, each carefully drawn but imperfect house is satisfying both to look at and create.
I am drawing a house with tiny black lines, and inside I'm beaming.
