On Top of a Survivor




On Top of a Survivor

Where she often faced the sun
on a not so old rock shoal.
The formation of a survivor’s skull,
the small portion still visible,
just above the waves.

Where she often would swim,
seeking solitude from the rest,
and a connection with her past.
Her island within the islands
off the shores of Solitude.


This doodles relate to a post from last week titled “Atop a Vanished Warrior”.
Islands Off Solitude
5”x 8” ballpoint pen


The winter storm eliminated other commitments usually in the way on my Mondays. I should be writing, a chance to catch up on recent periods of procrastination. The words continue to hide. It is much easier for me to express what I’m seeing within the familiar floating clouds, in doodles here by my laptop, as I stare at this irritating screen.

  1. I'm thinking, the weather will push, inspire you for more words...just keep the pen/pencil close by, Anthony. Interesting idea on sitting on the top of iceberg like island.
    Cool sketch!

    1. The weather is a temporary excuse. All shoveled out now. The usual week began today, be it a day later. The morning and later this afternoon will be in front of a model.. Should be back to the project above by tomorrow morning.

  4. Do what you must...and this one blows me away, even makes me slightly uneasy, and yet I love it like all your Islands Of Solitude...take your time, that kind of talent requires a lull...every now and then, you could put just your name, and i would visit...or put old ones before i knew of you, I'd love that so much

  5. Oh how wonderful! The Survivor, for me, has just become a God-like being...a Guardian of the Islands, from a long-ago chapter in their history.
    And there she sits today...instinctively knowing she is safe from all harm...:)

    1. The survivors, those who became shoals did once fill the role as guardians of the others, based on where the story has been going so far. She is safe for now☺
      Thank you
