this is the site with frames. If anyone out there can't view frames, let me
know and I'll post some additional links directly to the pics.
NOTE: Some of those paintings might be triggering. I don't know if they are,
but better to be on the safe side. I doubt that I'm good enough to actually
make others feel anything by seeing my pictures, though.

I checked this out and loved the pictures. I especially like Anger 2. Blue is
an unusual choice for that emotion, but it works really well. Keep creating!

Yeah I think creativity is quite common amognst SI'ers (and depressives in
general), wether it be writting, drawing or music (that's my one although I
write in the form of lyrics rather than poetry). Creative output seems to be
quite theraputic, at least I find it good. I want to get some examples of
the creative stuff people come up with for a website so I'd love to see your
work. I could post a link rather than just putting it on the site if you
prefer. It won't be up for at least another month anyway.
