"No, life cannot be understood flat on a page. It has to be lived; a person has to get out of his head, has to fall in love, has to memorize poems, has to jump off bridges into rivers, has to stand in an empty desert and whisper sonnets under his breath... We get one story, you and I, and one story alone. God has established the elements, the setting and the climax and resolution. It would be a crime not to venture out, wouldn't it?"

Fighting Dragons

Monday, August 8, 2011

I finally finished and I'll have to admit, this is perhaps my favorite thing I've made. The inspiration came from one of my favorite quotes:

"Fairy tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten."
--G.K. Chesterton



I spent a lot of time researching dragons. Surprisingly, there are a lot of people out there who believe that dragons still exist as well as a ridiculous amount of information on the anatomy and habits of these fire-breathing beasts.



Made with paper, crayons, paint and lots of cardboard.

**Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures, they were taken on my cell phone as the camera that I owned for three weeks was accidently destroyed by a group of middle school boys while at camp.


Adventures Throughout The Internet

It's been raining for two days. My roommate and I haven't done anything but read books, draw and watch a movie every now and then.
It's been absolutely beautiful.

Here's some other beautiful things:

"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square hole. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."
