Till Kingdom Come

It has been far too long since I've seen something simple and beautiful.  Something that is beautiful because of its honesty and simplicity.  Tonight around 12:30am I got the randomest IM ever... Laura says, "Jessieeee.  Do you like Brian Andreas?  I feel like you would and if you do, I'll be the happiest person ever."  Granted, I don't really talk to Laura all that often, but I know she's a sweet person.  I told her I have no idea who Brian Andreas was, and she sent me a link.  I asked why she asked me, and she said "I dunno, they just made me think of you, they're very colorful and honest..."  Not sure how she meant that to be taken, but honestly, I'm going to take it as the best compliment I've heard in a long time.  Imagine someone telling you you're colorful and honest.  Its a good feeling.

So, at a lack for anything better to do, I started looking through his artwork.  What I found was incredible, and beautiful.  Here are a couple examples.

I think I'm going to have to buy one of his books.  I don't even know how to describe what I'm feeling right now.  Definitely just found an eyelash and upon reading that first picture changed my wish from something entirely selfish to something much better...  I feel almost like... refinding myself after losing myself for some time...

I dunno, I feel that simple things like this can change the world.

Steal my heart, and hold my tongue.  I feel my time, my time has come.  Let me in, unlock the door.  I never felt this way before.  I don't know which way I'm going, I don't know what I've become. For you I'd wait till kingdom come, until my day, my day is done.  And say you'll come and set me free.  Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me. - Coldplay
