Rising Above Toxicity: An Update on My Studio and My Journey as a Designer

Amidst the colors and the brushes, the markers and the pens, I’ve invested all my years, in my tools, my trusty friends. Sketchbooks and iPads, computers and the rest, A designer’s profession, it’s what I’ve always caressed.

But now, I’ve cleared my path from all the toxicity and hate, And even though the psychiatrist calls it phantom thoughts, it’s great. For many share my sympathies, and that’s all that I need, I don’t mind the negativity, for I am strong indeed.

The judge himself confirmed it, last time we were in court, That I’m the one doing all the heavy lifting, all the work, and more. Creating a healthy toxic-free environment, every step I take, Growing stronger and more resilient, with every move I make.

And as I attract more people, more beautiful and happy too, I feel blessed by nature, in all that I pursue. For they love what I do, and they love what I make, The things that come out of my hands, are beyond anything I can take.

It surprises me each and every time, to see what I can do, With over 30 years of experience, it’s all fresh and new. And even though I can lift the weight, of the big boys in the game, The money-hungry a*****es, still make it difficult, so lame.

But, I won’t let them drag me down, with their toxic ways, I’m doing my own thing, and it’s helping in many ways. I’m helping a disabled kid, to find his path in the creative world, Drawing portraits for the homeless newspapers, with my colors unfurled.

And painting cargo bikes, for commercial exploitation too, All for charity, all within my welfare, that’s what I do. Climbing and clutt****g my way, out of the pothole they threw me in, Cocaine-addicted, right-wing, fascist, nationalist, psychotic zombies, oh what a sin!

But, I won’t let them define me, for I am much more than that, My creativity and kindness, they can never flatten or flatten flat. For I am a designer, a creator, with my tools at my side, And I’ll keep doing what I love, with passion, and with pride.
