creating

puffy-eyed dinosaurs and wombat soup
marshmallow-filled brachiosaurus' holding
a spoon-shaped golden-painting bouncing over the sunset moon sparkling mineral water tinted with a sort of 'difficult' past of the chip-saturated seagull
the dramatic wild tigress eating a multipack of the ol' skips that dancing popping fizzing prawn cocktail mess of an artificial beauty that blows the crazy lady's newspaper communicating the death of her 50 cats those one thousand sobs of a knitted jumper failure just before Christmas day grey nail varnish because that out of proportion lizard just isn't in fashion anymore along with those diseased extremely-enlargened foreheads of a screaming group of jury service sufferers that are related to those violent juxtaposed frogspawn-spitting reptilians.

inspired by

Henry Selick, Tim Burton, Michael Hussar, Gerald Scarfe, children's literature amoungst the genius-ness of Sir Roald Dahl and Dr. Seuss, scribbler Quentin Blake and also you... when I watch your personality crawl.

In my home, I would like:

A dining table longer than the horizon.

With silver-tainted pewter goblets of brilliance.

Taxidermy that all stare into my gazed eyes.

A Dali-inspired tall thin-legged piano.

A gigantic Holy Bible the size of a wall.

Hands sticking out of the hallway walls which play violins as you walk past it and mouth which whisper sweet nothings in your ears.

Gothic furniture.
