Don't Get Comfortable

Based on the artwork It’s Raining Knives by Silvia Levenson

True houses sit upon their precise grass.

There is no movement, there is no sound, there is no imperfect quality.

Imprints of walls and yard decorations place safety.

Even the yellow siding radiates an unmistakably pure tune.

Let the darks in the greens bring you up to the sky.

Here lies your neighborhood.

The everlasting danger you never look for whispers in your ears, “Knives, knives, knives.”

Will they ever lose their grip?

We don’t know.

The less you know, the stronger danger grows.

Don’t get comfortable.

As an illustrator, writer and maker I find a lot of inspiration and encouragement by creating things that make people, including myself, happy! I love to work with bold and fun colours, organic shapes and objects, and themes with retro and vintage inspiration. Art has always been an adventurous outlet that allows me to try and discover new things. Trying new things in general is such a wonderful aspect in life! My medium interests typically fall under digital, glass, poetry and a variety of traditional mediums.
