I go to sleep alone, and wake up alone. I take walks. I work until I’m tired. I watch the wind play with the trash that’s been under the snow all winter. Everything seems simple until you think about it. Why is love intensified by absence?

By Stewart Easton, I was thrilled to get to see this very talented guys work in Birmingham, a former illustration and animation student from Coventry University, I also thought it was fantastic to get to read the insightful interview with him on Mr X Stitch

I think in part I also find something alluring about his funny, characterful work because of the illustrative style perfect for story telling, awesome stitch work too. I do like that he attended the same university I’m at as well, very inspiring!

The best part of having a relationship is getting to call the person or lay down next to them and tell them all the crazy things that happened to you all day long. And in the end that’s what it’s about, kids. It’s not about the sex, it’s not about the money that they give you or whatever. It’s not about how good-looking they are, it’s about, can they listen to you talk for hours and hours and hours about stupid shit that doesn’t matter. And if they can, then you’re meant to be together forever. Even if that means you have to call them 100 times, that’s okay.

- Dear Daniel:

I’m studying drama because the oldest artists in the world were storytellers.
I’m studying drama because while nobody’s heard of me or you,
pretty much everyone on the planet’s heard of Shakespeare.
I’m studying drama because it’s an art form that’s a crazy kaleidoscopic sliver of life-
made of monolouge and dialouge,
melody and dance,
poetry and empathy,
violence and romance-
yeah, I’m studying drama.

I’m studying drama because metaphor fills in the gaps left by science.
You can calculate the weight of the moon
and still not know the meaning of the word moonstuck,
but when you hear

“She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes”

then you know moonstruck.
