Self-portrait (white, short shaggy dirty-blonde hair, hunched over and holding my arms over my chest) crouched at the left edge of the paper, vomiting. What emerges from my mouth isn't vomit but a stream of vines and veins, hearts, thorns, flowers, butterflies. This stretches across the paper before petering out in a quantity of colorful petals before the right end of the paper. Plain white background.

Detail from the above drawing. Zoomed in on the figure, crouched and regurgitating. Vines with thorns and flowers and veins with numerous anatomical hearts of varying sizes emerge from my mouth. There is little distinction between vein and vine, as one becomes the other.

Detail from the above drawing. Close up on thorny vines with blooming and wilting flowers. A blue butterfly perches on a flower. The distinction between vine and vein is blurred, as they change back and forth. Hearts hang from veins that are also vines, alongside flowers. Another blue butterfly perches on a heart.

Detail of the above drawing. Close up of the veins and vines (there is little distinction between them, as they shift back and forth between those states) as they end. Small hearts hang, flowers bloom and wilt. Petals scatter beyond the end of the veins/vines. A butterfly hovers.
