Illustrated Short Stories, Short Stories/Creative Writing, Writings

(a creative illustrated short story written 3/30/22 to 4/27/22) © Eileen Slifer, 2022 Dear Theo: You are never going to believe this but last night I was visited by someone from the future. She came from New York City in the Americas and she was dressed in such a fashion as to appear so ghastly and oddly cloaked, I thought she might be a phantom of some sort, so to be sure, I downed me some good absinthe before talking...

The “Total Impact” of the Thing Itself…

April 27, 2022
/
Personal Writings, Women's, Family, and Recovery Issues, Writings

A friend encouraged me with this video I share here at the end of this piece, this morning…so good…passing it along. I watched it and was reminded, in what she shared, of one of my favorite quotations: “One never meets just Cancer, or War, or Unhappiness (or Happiness). One only meets each hour or moment that comes. All manner of ups and downs. Many bad spots in our best times, many good ones in our worst. One never gets the...

Grateful God Works in Mysteriously Weird Ways!!! A Bit Nostalgic Here…

Life Stories, Personal Writings, Women's, Family, and Recovery Issues

I am putting my Social Media Post From Today here for some additional photos and written expression! It sent me on a nostalgia break as I located some photos on my computer and previous Social Media Post from 2017! God does work in mysterious ways and I like to acknowledge that, along with all the twists and turns my life keeps taking along with the adventures (and misadventures). They say a picture is worth a thousand words, I believe that!...

4-22-22: A Day With Eileen Video

April 26, 2022
/
Personal Writings

So I’ve been experimenting with an app where I can narrate video clips and also have my Spotify app running too…and then I have a program where I can join them together. I’m doing some thinking on variations of my typical social media communications. I often take many images from what I’m doing here each day and then write up commentary which can be lengthy. I do know some like to see artwork in stages. I interact in a variety...

Masterpiece of Malevolence Part I (Job 1:1-22)

Religion, Politics and Current Events, Thoughts on the Book of Job, Women's, Family, and Recovery Issues, Writings, Writings on Violence in its Various Forms

I really seem to be stuck in the book of Job, for some reason. Things in my life – especially in my own internal world – seem to be taking me back to this story for analysis. It is unwieldy – some of the thoughts and observations that cross my mind. I feel like expressing back what I am taking in…and I am not certain how to do this! At least for now, since I gave a general and lengthy...

Book, Media and Movie Commentaries, Personal Writings, Women's, Family, and Recovery Issues, Writings

There’s a line from a movie that has been used in a number of ways and memes in pop culture: You keep using that word – I’m not even sure you know what it means! Awhile back on social media a friend made a comment: Keep being you. So, what does it mean to be me?And what does it mean to keep being me? What does it mean to be you? What does it mean to keep being you? I suppose...

Commissions and Client Comments

I recently finished this commissioned gift for a young woman moving on from her work with INTO MASON and George Mason University. Currently she hopes to be going to grad school. Wishing her well as she walks through the next open doors into the future! The joy I feel when clients communicate their feelings about my work and how gifts were received brings such meaning to all I do and strive for as an artist. I am humbled when I...

Caricatures from Nadia’s 14th Birthday Party!

Live Art Event Photos

Last Saturday I drew caricatures at a birthday party for a 14-year-old girl, her friends, some younger attendees and one adult with her dog! The adults present loved what I was doing and I had a lot of fun, even staying after I finished and packed up to watch the magician – a wonderful performance by a master of illusion! Almost a week later, as I add in the photos from that day, I’m trying to remember a few of...

Life Themes – Past, Present and Future

April 16, 2022
/
Life Stories, Personal Writings, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Women's, Family, and Recovery Issues

I seem to still be reflecting upon life themes more closely. I have modified my own life theme list into two sections, not necessarily in a particular order and in each section one single thing may come and go from the forefront of the intersections of past, present and future… But, basically the first section involves my observation of my own life themes in terms of challenges or conflicts based on situations beginning at birth, and technically before birth, since...

Eileen Slifer

I am a visual artist who works in a variety of mediums - producing fine art, illustration and design commissions/products for clients. I have been creating since childhood and sharing my giftings for hire since 1989. I also love to write and have been expressing in this way for a number of years in private poems, stories and journals that have been shared with treasured friends or publicly. Thank you for visiting my blog. I value the time and interest you spend on my expressions, and I read every comment.
