I have reluctantly come to the conclusion in the past few years that my education and experience will do nothing for me because I don’t “know a guy”. Going off of sheer ability isn’t as common these days, not in such an intensely focused consumer driven product obsessed culture, where quality is surpassed by accessibility… Continue reading bite marks →

There is the line that will change your… Continue reading There is little space between our fingers →

Her eyelashes tremble as secret ideas… Continue reading Mia →
