Rosy petals

Shower me

As I process

Across the lawn.

I am a bride

In T-shirt

And grass-stained knees.

How beautiful the scent,

How ministering the breeze.

How short

This moment.

The first time I saw this bus, the ad read:

SCIENCE FLIES YOU TO THE MOON

RELIGION FLIES YOU INTO BUILDINGS

I’m not going to lie: for more than a second I thought it was a real ad running on a real bus, but then I learned about the Bus Slogan Generator.

Have fun.

To be honest, I don’t know how long my experiments with ScribblerToo will continue. I just don’t see myself improving much beyond what you see above, which I will now title: When the German Shepherd Thinks About the African Violent.

Notice the German Shepherd’s sinuous neck. Notice the yellow stamen in the African Violet. What I love about ScribblerToo, or rather, where I see its potential, is in its ability to effortlessly illustrate interconnectedness.

This is my second attempt at a decent illustration with ScribblerToo. If you ask me, I’ve made significant progress, but my coloring could use a little help. I think it should be mentioned here that I’m not trained as an artist. I don’t know what colors go well together, or how to generate perspective using different shades of the same color. I know that I don’t want my illustrations bursting with color. Too much color is like too much sugar, and besides, I prefer honey.

I think I should also mention that I haven’t really taken the time to familiarize myself with the ScribblerToo tools. There aren’t so many that I get discouraged, but there are enough to make me think that ScribblerToo can be used with a certain degree of skill that I’ll never be able to harness unless I focus [instead of doodle] every now and then.
