I don't now what else I could call it except it was a creative block. If I was just a writer, I would call it a writer's block, but for about three months now, I had a hard time doing stuff. I just couldn't come up with anything workable. Ideas were few and far between. I had a goal of this year of doing a comic book page a week. I stopped drawing after thirteen weeks. Then I worked on the first draft of a script for my first graphic novel. After that: Nothing. It might have been a combination o…

Howdy Artsy-fartsiers!
My band, The Revenge of Ricky Williams has a demo we threw together with lots of work and love. We want to share the songs from it with you, and give you a chance to hear us... for free!
This is what the page looks like with our pretty faces on it! The painting is by a good friend, Linda Boucher. Check out her artwork at

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Or which that is what I have been taught
Never have I been more defaced by depression
Deliverance of unseen rescue emoted by the thought of what is
Can a gunner run from his aim?
Or is it the aim that blinds the gunner?
Hesitation to hypocrisy hired from ever lasting pause
I smile from substance, never by chance
Unfounded and baseless, it can never be waste-less appreciation
Instead uncontrollable want of what is not,
Never what is…
Cold responses…

Unfinished and accessed, I rely on the attempt that everyday I grow into who I am supposed to be. An existence. My essence is in existing. I reason and I believe but I remain illogical to rapture in my release of self-will. I ravish what is real but abuse what is false. Never have I been able to comprehend the true beauty of my words. Instead confusion relies on my return of faith. For faith found is again lost within the depths of affliction. Agonies that linger and fortunes that fall, it leave…

Scattered
Lost in the sea of exhilaration
Endless emotions
Suffered
Not from pain
But from every emotion felt
I seek to be sought
Never to be found
But lost in your eyes
Mesmerizing mistaken passion
With every created force
I am but only lost in the nature
Of things not only wanted
But established
Denoted to sentiments
Truths
Weighed in on facts
Of feelings and vigor
I trust my facts
For my facts rest in my heart
And my heart speaks only the truth

Exploding articulated tongue
Allowed resisted tension
Continued speaking spinelessly
And rapid spoken reasons
Treason of immediate sounds
Captured by minuets reckoning
Performance of invigorated purpose
The mirrors of everyday beaconing
Participation of your broken being
Rotation of emotions lost
Blood flowing, relentless shaking
The possibilities at my cost
Complete pain starved by love
Tricky words covered in stones
Private feelings yet vocalized reality
The creation is yours alone
Comparison…

Something created that has been lost by force
An unseen capture deluding vision
Scattered from speckles of trust
Atrocities of realizations and then defeat
Sorry eyes that engraves upon the plea
A timetable of rejection and rebuff
Considered aspirations of magnified emotions
Instead in pleasure awakens pain
Controlled invocations of spoken relief
In every dream of smiles comes a scowl
Caring not for one another but for oneself
I alone cannot stand on my own
Everyday my life becomes a…

Disappointment over every tragic destination
I am forlorn into the blackness only one would call life
Trapped by disease but withheld by cult
I can only sense that of which is not seen
Insubordinate by thoughts of rapture
I enclose myself to relapse on emotion
Forever a misplaced piece to the puzzle
I concentrate on the disasters of my mind
Released from the wretches and wreckage of my past
I rely on the contemplations of everything vanished
Villains of miscreants and angels
I am surv…

Vandalized to the extent of exposure
Depicted from nothingness and closure
I long to hear the words unspoken
And drive my spirit to a lasting notion
Scared from concern
Yet comprehensive from fear
I defile my discretion and scurry
Never to reappear
Gullible and unveiled
I alter my ego to survive
Never to exemplify my regression
But to thicken the harsh reality of truth
Lowered esteem to desperate deliberation
Exposed from the vortex of angered emotions
A circle of distrust destroyed by the fu…

My heart hearkened, I rest to be displayed by the overgrowing redemption I long to call my salvation. I savage in my disbelief of things unspoken yet remain silent. To believe is not only to question the artificial surrender of things engraved or even invaded; it is also to consider the authority of my judgment and gain reliance of reality. An unreal emotion that appeals to my solitude and delights in my regression, well, it is only a speck within the dust of the isolation I feel about the thing…

In the truth
I’m the obvious
And I wade to the music of my soul
Entrapped by the beauty of everything earned
And escaped from tenderness and splendor
I realize
That I only save myself
If your life is a verb
Than mine must be the subject
A remedial of knowledge
Forever learned by anger
Creating nothing but keenness
Loving nothing but the such
And now I’m wasted
Like a glass empty from thirst
I know
I am lost because of me
I am found because of you
Faded once again to the point where I am gone
The…

I began as a birdsong; a whistle in your ear that you loved to imitate. I began as communication, as a call or response only you and I shared. I started my life as primitive melodies made by recognized noises. A sound and rhythm that echoed through your eardrum and created this immense overpowering sensation you couldn't resist. I became the art of arranging sounds to produce a continuous, unified, and reminiscent composition, as through melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre. You kept creating me,…

My cousin Sherry will fall in love with this black man, she’ll take him home and there will be war. On the sidelines of this dance floor, I watch her back her hips into his, meet his thrust with her parry. One of his pink palmed hands rests comfortably in the curve of her waist. I see his long finger trace the line of her spine, his hand stop in the small of her back and from there I can’…

I bequeath myself to the dirt, to grow from the grass I love;
If you want me again, look for me under your boot-soles.
--Walt Whitman, Song of Myself
An urn gets all the wrong looks as a carry-on. Because I’m a chick, it’s my shaved head that draws looks that say "freak," and I’m all about that. I had no idea what a pain in the ass it would be to lug Keith’s ashes around,…
