This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
My name is Chris Piascik. I’m an independent illustrator and designer living in CT, and for the past four years, I’ve been drawing something, anything, every Monday through Friday. December 21st marks my 1000th daily drawing. 1000th is a weird word, so that will be the last time I use it here.

Goran Strand
Göran Strand of Östersund, Sweden, took a panoramic photo of Tuesday night’s sights and wrapped it into a 360-degree composition titled “Planet Aurora.”
i no longer have much time to think, wallow in whatever situations i get myself into. i no longer have time to go through everything on my mind. these nights just involve me thinking of new designs for work, mindlessly watching and burning through every possible series i have collected thus far and forcing myself to sleep just so i won’t feel like shit every other morning and convince myself to take leave. i no longer have the capacity to let myself drown in my thoughts, so time flies by. but every single painful second somehow involves me reminiscing through that period, and constantly making comparisons to what could have been. fuck i really miss sweden. the more i force myself to get over it, the more i find myself getting stuck in the same mindless spot. torture on repeat.
Why is it so hard to fucking move on already expectations are unreal and always in the subconscious. Get the fuck out of my head.
one year later, i still cannot get over the fact that exactly at this date, one year ago i was half way around the world, freezing my ass off in the cold winter, battling those dreadful doc marts boots and learning the meaning of complete freedom and independence.
i still miss lulea, sweden so badly. the seasons, the friends, the bubble i got caught up with. doesn’t really matter if its with or without you.
detachment. isolation. yearning.
I feel some sort of high getting drowned out by the meds. They’re supposed to be drowsy, but my mind is not letting me sleep.
Being annoyed doesn’t even begin to describe the frustration i have towards these idiots i have subconsciously surrounded myself with.
I might just start seeing double with my eyeballs rolling way faster than i can move my head.
Its just a state of mind. I miss you.
So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

its depressing to look at masters programme overseas which requires at least a 2nd upper class honours. and cost a bomb too. my parents will never approve of this.
this family has reached a whole new level of fuckery. and you for even resorting to sucking ass. what the fuck is wrong with you people? have you nothing better to do?
seriously fuck the both of you numbnuts.
Florence Welch Drawing
Post-A-Drawing-Friday. Photo of drawing. Latest in the “Women Who Rock” series, Florence + The Machine - Florence Welch. Prismacolor pencil on Strathmore.
wow!
I would do it all over again, in a blink of an eye if i could. Just better, wilder and smarter than the last. A little less hopeful, a little more cavalier about everything. After all everything becomes a little bit more pointless as time goes by. New years celebrations, wishes and resolutions are a tad bit overrated- they are after all just passing time. But 2011 was definitely something to remember by.
Losing hope in all sense of faith and ambition. I might just settle.
Take comfort in knowing that once you got beyond your country’s borders you already began winning. If you can stay out for at least a year than there’s a very real chance you’ll be able to stay out in the world indefinitely.
