Colorado Flags

***THIS POST WILL BE EDITED AS MORE WORK IS CREATED***



I LOVE making Colorado flags!

The design of the flag leaves for a lot of creative dialogue with the shapes. It becomes easy to create things that play nicely with the shapes in creative and original ways.

As you'll see, my focus has typically been on adapting mountain designs into the flag, being that I have a profound love of the mountains and hiking, and of Colorado's natural beauty.  That being said, the shapes, in general, offer a lot of playful intrigue; and can be adapted in a wide variety of ways.

Enjoy!

Purple Mountains Majesty



Purple Mountains' Majesty
Await me every day.
The benefits of living in Denver.

To find peace
I need only look West
And feel the call to nature.

Escape to higher ground
With fewer people
And less stress.

No more assholes.
No more car horns.
No more city noise.

A short journey
Into the heart of beauty
And a view that only Gods were meant to see.

Snow in July
Beat the heat
With a snowball fight.

No more pain
No more confusion
A mental 'reset' button.

An ascendance to solitude
Makes the mind
Feel refreshed and inspired.

A Good Place



Sometimes, just living in the right place is the key to happiness.

I am lucky enough to call DENVER my home!

... where people are friendly...

... where the beer flows freely...

... where you find THE BEST weed in the WORLD...

... where you find the best local music...

... where you find healthy people...

... where you find something amazing and new around every corner...

... where artists are free to be artists...

... where you find at least four sunny days a week...

... where you're never far from an exhilarating and inspiring hike...

... where libraries and parks are always nearby...

... where PUNK NEVER DIED...

... where there's always something to do...

... where blue skies are more common than grey...

... where the mountains always show you which direction you're driving...

... where the river water is always clear...

... where you can always find a peaceful place to sit and think...

... where you can find almost every culture from anywhere in the world...



My love for this city is unyielding.
 
Home of the weird and the brilliant.
 
Home of the unashamed individuals.
 
Home of the proud lovers of LIFE!

Two Kinds of Life


Life is not necessarily what we perceive it to be.

There's the life we acknowledge: Nature
... but what of the life we create, through SCIENCE!

Science seeks, both, to explain life and to replicate it or protect it, where applicable; which is no different than creating it.

Science re-creates life every day...

Through lives saved with medicine...

To machines given life through electricity...

To advances in Agriculture, that allow us to keep eating...

To learning about natural phenomena, allowing us to be better protected when emergencies happen...

Science creates life every day, just like nature does.

And I believe that the two are intrinsically important to respect and admire.

I believe that both hold secrets to the mysteries in the world

and make the world more beautiful

and more tolerable.

They make me see a better tomorrow.

They give me hope.

They erase my pain; even for just a little while.

And let me see that the world, and the people in it, aren't necessarily so bad.

303 Day!




For love of Denver,
My home
My playground
My city!

Home of the unconventional
The weird
The passionate
Nobody is 'normal' and that's how we LIKE it!

650,000 true originals
650,000 free
 650,000 enjoying peace
650,000 strong and growing

Growing pot
Growing gardens
Growing children
Growing pride!

Strong of lungs and heart,
We climb, 
Nearly half-way to the Stratosphere
just because we can!

Strong of mind and spirit,
We create
And we share
Because we PRIDE our fellow Denverfolk!

We drink hard
We smoke hard
We LIVE hard
Because we're stronger than YOU!

For love of Denver,
I salute my home
and it's people
and share my love.

Every Sunrise and Sunset




I want to see
Every sunrise
And every sunset
With you.

The world melts away
When I sit
In Peace
With you.

This poem
Has no determinable meter
And is even missing punctuation
But I don't care

That part
Is there
Because I love
The way you laugh!

But I'll keep
This chaotic word salad going
Because I love it
When you smile!

And I know
That your eyes shine
When you
Think of me

So you can come
back here at any given
time

And think of me

And laugh

And smile

Again.
