haiku #082709

the hairs on my arm
create a layer of glow
when the sun shines bright

check me out

this is my original biz card design -
inspired by libraries and dictionaries.
it all started by trying to think of a fun way
to show how to say my name.

two bees on the mint
i crawl through the other side
morning maneuver

sketches for my sweetheart...

these are from my old sketchbook.
i just graduated high school and moved to charleston...
i was writing haiku poems, chasing my first love
and discovering myself.

twirl me

(c) illustration by janean lesyk

world's knife

I am a moth’s wing
transparent and thin
anxiously fluttering around
always seeking light
always seeking
but thin and transparent.

I have forgotten to eat soul pie
filled up on fake cake
so hungry for light.

I feel the side of the world’s knife
spreading me thin
until absorbed and unrecognizable
so thin
like a moth’s wing
seeking light.

mind lurk

doodle by janean lesyk

pulp/clot

blood doesn't mean much

when it's juice you're after

sip. it. down.

pretend you're friends in laughter

in the end, if you can remember,

it will all settle down

become clear, disaster

i won't be far

but you'll get no reaction

two steps away

i'll go the opposite direction

cause blood is warm

boils to perfection

and juice will spoil

lacks the necessary traction

to keep you from falling off the edge

to keep you from falling off the edge

to keep you from falling off the edge

to keep you from falling off the edge

when you feel the slip
chew the pulp for flavor
it's all you get
the last bit to savor
before the fall
you signed your name on waiver
in juice, not blood
when you denied to save her

vintage healing

my bandaids are still



dear you, fly me away



growing pains


my dear friend, walter, and i collaborated on this photoshoot.
these are a few from the collection.
they are feminine, honest and calm.
and i feel a bit lighter having shared my healing process.
