Adrift

A Malaysian airplane vanishes. A 15 year old protester dies in Istanbul. More than 5.5 million Syrian children are in need. Venezuela is in flames. Ukraine is in flames. Greece is missing in action. All around the world women’s rights are under attack, LGBT rights are either starting to be respected or are under attack as well, LGBT people are being thrown to prison or worse, racism is on the rise, Nazism is on the rise, fascism is on the rise.   The whole world is in debt and people are starving.

And I’m in my personal bubble, afloat. I’m caught by the current and I’m drifting further and further away. Away; away. The tide’s merciless.  I know where I am; I don’t know where I am. I know who I am; I don’t know who I am. I am getting tired, I am tired, I have been tired already. I don’t know how or why I’m standing. Sheer force of will? Out of habit? Why haven’t I reached my quota yet? When will I reach it and how much (more) will it hurt? Falling. 

I am really really tired.

Doctor Who poster challenge wrap up 01

As I said here, I decided to start a little project for fun and practice reasons. The project has to do with illustrations, making a small minimal poster for each Doctor Who episode, the new show, not the Classic era Doctor. I've always liked minimal illustrations, so I'm going to be focusing on specific things from each episode and using them in the posters.So far, so good, even if the bi-logy of the Slitheen proved a challenge for my OCD tendencies (I couldn't resist, so I had to make Big Ben in all its' glory, or at least the part of Big Ben that my illustration needed).

Doctor Who poster challenge progress:
5 eps from series 1 done
101 Rose
102 The End Of The World
