2015 TRUMPETS WILL FILL THE SKY
I published this in 2015 when I started caring for my grandparents. It was not a good experience, lol. I got poor advice and little aid on the cover, so I did what I could. At the time I knew little to nothing about Gimp, but Gimp was there for me all the same!
I hope this second publication will be easier now that I have some experience and can express myself better during the publication steps. What I found to be interesting about, Trumpets, is that some folks with depression started contacting me and thanking me for expressing some of what they feel but are unable to convey themselves. That moved me and it is greatly appreciated. Perhaps this next book will carry the same energy and care as the last one.
Here are a couple of working titles for the second:
THE BONES OF MY FEET
GRAVES & OTHER PARAPHERNILIA
Thank you for having a look!
or Anguish. 11×14 archival page and inks, always freehand. The fourth piece in an unfolding series.
This one touches on depression, something I understand very well. Everything could be going smoothly and then it all bottle necks or locks up and crushes you. I have lost two friends to depression, one in high school and one later in the years. Both were great guys one was a jock the other an intellect with a wonderful family. Depression is not biased and it can hit at any time
I met someone at a party one time, a friend of my brothers, it was a brief meeting, and he seemed like a really good guy, friendly and outgoing. A week later my brother told me the next day that fellow had taken his life.
Please, if you are suffering with depression, whether it be finances, relationship, or clinical. I ask you to seek help and speak with someone who can guide you through. In those moments you don’t realize how many people you have touched and how many people love you. You can speak to a friend or family member, or you can call this number and speak with someone who will listen and help you find the right help you may need.
