Thanks, Darraketh. We weren't thinking... last weekend, we were up visiting family in Summerville and on the Isle of Palms. We could've hooked up a the Green Dragon and had lunch. Oh well, next time!

Here's something from my high school days...

I sketched this many years ago when my cousin opened up her business. Any of you from Ohio heard of a store called the Humble Heart, from Dresden? Well, that's my cousin's place... he's got 3 locations now.

Ahh... memories. More high school notebook paper art. This one could almost pass for some kind of d20 art. There is actually a poem that goes along with it...

The Mask

Can it be seen, the face behind the mask?
Through the slanted dark eyes, the blood red lips.
The skin snow white a ghastly sight,
Brings chills to the moist finger tips.
Coal black hair that reaches the spine,
Eyebrows drawn like a pencil sketch.
The face is smooth and fine as porcelain,
Yet there's something beneath that takes the breath.
It holds some secret in a forgotten mind,
The beauty of it is mysterious and haunting.
I'm staring hard, something's here to find,
It sits perfectly still, Lifeless, yet taunting.
I'll let it stay, where it belongs,
This shadow behind the light.
Where it may dwell, as life goes on,
From depths of black and white.

Malessa Guinn 1989 (my maiden name at the time)

This one is charcoal and colored pencil on notebook paper. I was going to edit out the curled edge, from when I scanned it... but, naah! These are kitty cats on crack (look a the eyes... lol) peering out from behind some reeds.

More high school notebook paper doodle-age... wrinkles left in, and all. This one also has a poem that goes along with it (quite the bleeding heart, arsty fartsy type, wasn't I?... lol)

Do You Dream?

Do you dream in black and white,
And fear the shadows dark,
Haunted by the restless night,
They're watching you by far.

Damped cold that pierced your touch,
They eat your weakened spine.
Waiting pacing hurts so much,
Afraid of what you'll find.

Lurking upon you like sudden death,
Your eyes are swollen with tears.
Running, hiding, needing to rest,
They're all your childhood fears.

Waking up, calling, screaming,
No one hears your pain.
Touching yourself so very unknowing,
Wondering if you're sane.

Malessa Guinn, 1986

This was an oil painting on cardstock that was meant to become a greeting card. That's why the top half is so barren looking... to leave room for writing a greeting of some kind. My mom and I briefly had our own card business. This one actually might even be copywrited. Pretty distinguished, huh? If you could see the back, you would notice where all the oil soaked through the paper. This is probably the oldest piece of art I still have... circa 1985.
