Sketch Book
I was wondering if anyone would be interested in me posting some images from my sketchbooks. I could possibly put them together into a "fan comic" section.
Maybe I could even put up some tutorials in that section?
Gravity
Just some musing about life in general...

You don’t realize how powerful gravity is until you are on the edge. The weight of everything that pulls you down –fears, ambitions, and doubts – become denser and, as your knees buckle, you have one moment. In the short breath that it takes to fall, you have the choice to make.
To let your weight pull you down in your moment of grief and sorrow is the same as letting yourself fall from the cliffs edge. Gravity is unforgiving. When you start to fall, gravity will not slow your progress. If you slip, even just once, it will pull you down.
Whether you met with gravity by intention or accident – whether you hesitated in step or jumped – it is not an easy thing to stop falling. You sometimes get so lost in gravities embrace that you forget that you are falling and by the time you realize, you might not have the strength to fight it.
In your struggles against gravity, you might reach blindly for something to clutch to – love, religion, drugs, or family. Some may give you a false grip. You can become so enveloped in your savior that you don’t even realize that your hold was nothing more than a rock that was falling at your speed; gripped in a blind struggle. However, others offer you a small clutch that can grow bigger into a hold that you can climb on, giving you a small path that can lead to a more stable ground on the jagged cliffs.
Life is a constant struggle against gravity, but you grow stronger as time passes. Each time gravity calls you, you make the decision to continue to move forward or to fall. Falling is easier and everyone falls at one point or another. When you are young, you spend a lot of your life falling. It is what pulls you out of your fall that builds who you are. You can learn from falling and sometimes you grow stronger after a fall because you know of the pain and suffering it takes to climb up from one.
Gravity never grows weaker and will always daunt you from the edge. You can grow strong enough to carry your burdens, wise enough to lessen them, and brave enough to move forward. When you let all of your burdens disappear, you exchange those doubts and fears for wings. Only in the flight of release can we truly defy gravity and live without the fear of falling.
