“RUMINATIONS…”
I’M TOLD CREATIVITY IS A GIFT, AND I GUESS IT IS, BUT IT’S ALSO A CURSE. BEING CONTINUALLY BOMBARDED 24/7, MORNING, NOON AND NIGHT WITH IDEAS FOR SHORT STORIES, FOR NOVELS, PAINTINGS, THEY NEVER CEASE ROLLING AROUND LIKE A MANIC “ROUND ROBIN” IN MY BRAIN, OUT OF CONTROL. IT’S HARD TO DEFINE, IT’S NOT A “WANT”, IT’S BEYOND THAT, IT’S A NEED, A COMPULSION, BUT IT ISN’T A CONCIOUS THING. IT JUST…IS, A LIVING, BREATHING ENTITY, LIVING IN MY MIND, RENT FREE, MOVING SEAMLESSLY FROM ONE PROJECT TO ANOTHER, NEVER ENDING, ALWAYS MOVING FORWARD…
WITH THAT IN MIND, LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO A FEW OF MY “WORKS IN PROGRESS”, STARTING WITH “OPEN WOUNDS”. MY FIRST ANTHOLOGY OF SHORT HORROR STORIES. DARK, TWISTED, WITH A TOUCH OF HUMOUR. BELOW ARE FIVE ILLUSTRATIONS TO GO WITH THE ANTHOLOGY, CREATIVITY GONE WILD… I DID TELL YOU…
