This work is simply brilliant!
Says the artist in me.
I'll have it framed twice!
So precious it be...

Says the artist in me,
But what if people hate it?
So precious it be!
I cannot let them take it!

And what if people hate it,
And what if they hate me?
I cannot let them take it
I'll lock it away you see!

And what if they hate me?
A simple lock will not suffice!
I'll lock it away you see.
In a land of frozen ice...

"And that, my dear Mrs. Sutherland, is why I shipped my art homework to Antarctica!"


Want to hear this whole thing read out? Check out the audio version: snd.sc/1eYCckP

Ladies and gentlemen I present to you this pantoum (with a modified ending) that was commissioned for the amazing - :iconticklyroach: - If you haven't seen his drawings, I'll ask again. WHY HAVEN'T YOU *3* Check it out now :3

And about this piece, it's a humourous little piece about what makes me (and other artists) most frustrated. That is to say, when we contend with our own insecurities about our work. x'D

Anyhow I hope you enjoyed this funny little piece and of course the audio recording (it has a little bit extra at the end).

If you too would like your own commission done, feel free to hire me. Details are in my journal ^^

:iconpointcommissionsask: - please :3
