A CLEAN SLATE

oh so WHITE AND SHINY... Waiting for my pen, for my brush. I just cant stand the barrenness of it, stretching of into the infinite distance, saying nothing. I cant sit in silence either, in a social setting. I would be awful in an interrogation, babbling mindlessly- wait... not mindlessly. I do get chatty, but …

The Days of Trouble Begin

"...I will carry the Hurt. But it will NOT defeat me...)

Where is Captain Jack?

"...maybe all artists...go thru periods of feast followed by famine..."

Painting My Heart Out

Woo Hoo ! I am an artist WHIRLWIND again! Hang on, cause art is flowing out of me in a torrent, and I need more hands. I am happy to be out of "funk town" for a while! I entered six shows in the past month and now have 5 paintings accepted into these shows …

The Hurrier I Go…

THE BEHINDER I GET How true, how true that Pennsylvania Dutch saying is. I squander my art endeavors, rushing from this deadline to that, frazzled, befuddled and unsatisfied. That may be what drove Van Gogh insane, the constant turmoil to do better. I am making the presumption that perhaps the rapid cycling Bipolar Disorder that …

IN the Mirror

recognizing my BIPOLAR self image "A Big Beak"...by Susan T. Martin I'm in "Wonderland" right now. Been here for a week or so. Time seems to be inching by, my head too heavy to lift off the pillow. Not sick physically, I'm just...just...what can I tell you? I have had some unknown trigger going me …

Birds of Paradise

"...running to the window, still asleep, she fell thru the glass with a crash..."

It’s Just Me…

"He bandaged my broken hands that had beaten down my own hopes..."

AM I FAMOUS YET?

"...I was a rebel...not knowing thousands of feet had gone down that same road days...months...centuries before..."

A Freewheeling Frenzy!

This Beauty is one of a pair of Cabintet from a large entertainment stand, The Other is outside, drying... I have to get the mix just right: a smidgen of anxiety, a pinch of hunger, a good dose of caffeine and just about 48 hours without sleep and *BAM*! The NY creative lightning strikes! Tonight …

The Cathouse

Martin, in The Art on The Island 3-D Art Show Been trapping feral kitties this weekend...but not to kill them. Yay! I've been working with a nonprofit called Meow Now, which I believe has chapters nationwide. They catch, neuter/spay , vaccinate and bring …

Yellow Belly.

...Random Words, Targeted Pain....Red, Yellow, Green and Brown Pain...White Pain...My Pain...

FAIL…SAFE?

"...a drive to put what is playing on my internal projector out into the real world, for others to see..."

Starting Over, Over Again

"... can you see me going mad in here?..."

Over the Humpty-Dump

Oh, the fun of a downward spiral...After a week or two of just mind blowing energy and creativity, comes the inevitable crash. This time it was about a week of doldrums, pain, negativity and actual physical illness, all of which I attribute to this illness called Bipolar Disorder. The worst part of a depressive episode, …
