“Where some may see flat, static narratives, I see a spectrum of tonal gradations and realities. What I am creating is literally black portraiture with ballpoint pen ink. I'm looking for that in-between state in an individual where the overarching definition is lost.

From there, the possibilities of portraying a fully-fledged person are endless.”

“Where Storms Nest by Stewart Stafford
Time's arrow has left its quiver,
And mortal men denied a sliver,
Of sweet-faced solace or settled debt,
Surrendering all to sweeping death.
Beware the vixen with the perished pup,
Of merciless slight and sacrilegious sup,
Of mother's milk and witches' brew,
Curdling infamy and death's-head stew.
The trap is sprung, the rider unseated,
A mourning procession for the defeated,
A great wrong sits on the anointed throne,
She is Queen Bee and you, but a drone.
From a spider's web veil, she does regard,
Hateful glances from black heart's shard,
Envenomed nature of poisonous Man,
The scorpion's strike of a foul plan.
After seeking power and blood and lust,
Remorse a late guest to a dagger's thrust,
The vulture shrieks to the globe's outer rim,
That Man's ambition is a Hell to him.

“Where suspicion fills the air and holds scholars in line for fear of their jobs, there can be no exercise of the free intellect. Supineness and dogmatism take the place of inquiry. A problem can no longer be pursued to its edges. Fear stalks the classroom. The teacher is no longer a stimulant to adventurous thinking; she becomes instead a pipe line for safe and sound information. A deadening dogma takes the place of free inquiry. Instruction tends to become sterile; pursuit of knowledge is discouraged; discussion often leaves off where it should begin.”
