Another cancer revisioned horror piece…or would that be horror revisioned?
Anyway, what it was when I first created it versus what I just finished doing to it.

Dad
Written By Thaumus the Bard

Dad, how many times have you died since you died,
So many times that I wish I could keep you out of my dreams.
I just wish that I could reimagine the happier times,
When I close my eyes to go to sleep.

A raven,
Flying with malicious intent,
Circling down from up high,
To besiege me and cause my torment.

It squawks at me once, it squawks at me twice,
Then flapping its wings it takes off in flight.
Leaving me alone deep in my torment,
Wondering just what its message had meant.

Imported, redrew and colored this up last night before going to bed. I might add some more to it, we’ll see.

Inks (and super minor colors) are done on last night’s pre-bed drawing

Added some goggles that are similar to ones that I have, some more shading…& a bandaid.

My eyes are heavy and my vision is blurred,
A furious flapping flies through my door.
Upon my bedpost there is perched,
A single raven and nothing more.

Last sketch before bed.
It feels good to be drawing again.

Little chibi witch (maybe a future sticker)

Hey there 👋
I've been trying to come up with sticker designs for my red bubble shop. and I made this little witch to potentially become one, but I'm not sure if I'm going to use it yet 🤔

I didn't have an official OC for Wolly yet, so I made one :) my friends and my bf helped me a lot with realizing her.

They came from the starless skies,
Far beyond the distant Pleiades.
Come to destroy our world,
And bring us to our knees.

Oh the good old days of making my water look like split pea juice by mixing a few flavors of GFUEL together and then deciding to add the label digitally later 🤣🤣🤣
Did this 4 years ago.

Normal Sleep

If I start having normal sleep,
Will it take my imagination away?
If I stop seeing monsters in the night,
Will I also stop seeing them in the day?
If I sit down to write or draw,
Will my paper be free of pencil and ink?
Will I stop being able to create,
If I start having normal sleep?

Thaumus the Bard @thaumusthebard.bsky.social · 9d

I am being eaten once again,
They never let me rest much, these creatures of the night.
Just when I think they have forgotten about me,
They are once again, drooling, by my side.

Oh absolutely. I only ever take photos and video, getting as close as they will let me (which is basically up front and personal). While I was taking photos a bee landed on my fingers but then flew away when I poked my head out to look at it. 😅

Thaumus the Bard @thaumusthebard.bsky.social · 10d

I didn’t realize that, thank you!

Thaumus the Bard @thaumusthebard.bsky.social · 11d

They’re already gone. They left little by little each day until none were left…I just hope they found a safe place to re-hive.

Death, O Death
Written By Thaumus the Bard
Death, o death,
How deeply I feel your sting.
And when I walk through the parted veil,
Your broken throated song I will sing.

Thaumus the Bard @thaumusthebard.bsky.social · 11d

Something new, just experimenting with reciting my own poetry. The green glow came from an exit sign I was standing on a chair under, then I messed with the brightness and such because it recorded darker than it looked on my screen.

Drew a friend, she liked it, even mentioned how I got it down to the nose ring and necklace. I told her I like adding little details like those.
