My gifted premium membership will be expiring in a couple of weeks.
(strike that, many thanks to gerooley, Alan-H-Bruce, and my anonymous darling for their kindness and generosity)
Before that happens, I want to do a series of features focusing on art or artists that I find inspiring.
Some of the features will be long, spanning multiple artists or multiple works by the same artist, and may or may not be accompanied by a few paragraphs of me nattering on about why I adore them.
Some will be short.
Some will fall in-between.
My first feature is a simple one.
MissShyly is an incredible woman, an incredible artist, and an incredible model; she's been an idol of mine since I started modeling five years ago.
Contentedly Yours is one of my favorite photos in her gallery because it captures not only her beautiful face, but the luminous soul that makes her so lovely to me.
I could go on and on about her and her work, but I'd rather let this image (and the verse she chose to accompany it) speak for itself.
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

St. Baldrick's 2015 - bald for the best cause
I'm recovering from a 14-month Lyme relapse, and I wanted to celebrate the occasion by doing something that will make a positive difference in the world: shaving my head to raise research funds for childhood cancers.
In 6 days, the good people of my tiny town will gather for a veritable bald bonanza. In 2013 (the first year I shaved my head), we managed to raise nearly $20,000. Last year, that number almost doubled.
Since its inception, St. Baldricks has raised over $154.5 million dollars.
It's amazing what a bunch of crazy, compassionate, generous head-shaving people can do.

words to live by, zooey edition
"Don't let someone steal your tenderness.
Don't allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart.
Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to be affected by things. Whether it's a song,
a stranger, a mountain, a rain drop, a tea kettle, an article, a sentence, a footstep, feel it all -
look around you. All of this is for you.
Take it and have gratitude.
Give it and feel love."
- Zooey Deschanel
Beautiful words from a beautiful heart.

"Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands, maybe."
- Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Volume 5: A Game of You
For a while now, I've been itching to pick up a camera and find out what it's like on the other side of the lens.
Over the last five years, I've been fortunate enough to be photographed by quite a few very talented and lovely people, and it's taught me that one of the greatest gifts a pers
Woolly Mammoth Music (the art of Gareth Byrd)
I just stumbled across the work of woollymammothmusic (https://www.deviantart.com/woollymammothmusic).
He's been a member of DA for two years and has some incredibly beautiful work, but for some reason, he hasn't received much attention or recognition.
