I'm Jihan. I like drawing, sea creatures, food, really dandy clothes, books, and tiny or giant things.
“Gavel’s family doesn’t understand the nature of his work but they’re proud of his success.”
Cyanea capillata (lion’s mane jellyfish, the largest known species of jellyfish) by Alexander Semenov. See his flickr and website for more sea creatures.
I allow myself to be sentimental about foliage and snow after listening to Californians complain about cold weather for four years in school.

Because I’ve been indoors all morning,
the windows stone-white
with the mist from the bath
water; because
the first cycle is never enough
to dry the laundry;
because the teakettle whistling
has woken me from where I doze
on the sofa, I rake
my hair, button my shirt,
and sit at the table
with a red pen to make notes
in a notebook. But in the absence
of language, I draw the outlines
of fish instead, page after
page, snapper and mackerel. Fins,
wide eyes, bodies so long
they threaten the edges of the paper.
I draw no ocean around them.
The fish contain the ocean.

Ran this through pixlr-o-matic since it was a crappy cell phone photo anyway. I swear I have a legitimate camera; I just hate carrying things around.
