Thank you guys for supporting me on instagram through the INKTOBER ordeal. Was glad I did it, am happy it's over. #getcreative The artwork are all uploaded on this blog: https://unnecessarilysumie.com/miart/inktober-2017/ Thinking of: How I have newfound respect for artists that draw and ink for a living and this unfamiliar ache in the pit of my stomach.

Brown Sugar
The melanin in my skin Says which rank I'm in Too dark for the fair boy Whose parents wants a fair toy Too dark for the definition of pretty I must be fair not just witty Chocolate, Mocha, soya bean, black Shades of brown from my front to my back They are scrutinized and graded [...]

Working in an industry where how many "likes" you get has more weight than the actual content of the social media post, it's easy to get caught up in the "likes" forgetting the reason these avenues of social influence exist.

Having a sister who has walked away from the faith has left me with a lot of questions. Most of them start with 'Why'. Especially since that sister was in the past a catalyst for me to deepen my search for theological truths. I stood frequently at His feet looking for the answers to help re-direct [...]
Filmophile: MALEFICENT
SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! Where to start? Where to start? I guess after the movie, we'll all be asking the same question: The heck is going on with those cheekbones -.- But seriously, first off, thank you to all my friends and family who tried really hard so the movie was well received and spoiler-free for [...]
A Beautiful Moment
I've heard so much about Ode Art in SS15 so after church I popped by. After ordering my affogato which was okay la. Seriously, coffee is becoming less my thing -.- I looked over at the far end of the coffee shop and saw these group of adults drawing and colouring and it piqued my interest so [...]
