🗣️ PSA: Your voice matters more than you think it does! So take a chance and speak the hell up! #thepaintedpoemsproject

Make More Room For Us! One of the most human feeling is the need to be heard, but how can I be heard if there is no room for my voice, my writing? I am here to defy the limitations I’ve been given to work with. I am here to make more space, not just for myself. I think I have to paint a poem. Question: How do you break limitations in what you are making? PSA: 🗣️ PSA: Your voice matters more than you think it does! So take a chance and speak the hell up!

What a small world… #ThePaintedPoemsProject

Remember when I told you about the time I went to the park And this lady stared at me As she smiled the whole time I was there, As I was swinging and she was reminiscing? Well I saw her again, Not once, not twice, more times than three now, And I thought “What a small world.” Then I saw two rats that were fighting at the park, I saw them again, this time foraging instead of fighting, I saw them three times now, one gray and one brown, And I thought “What a small world.”
Then I saw a guy walking his dog, he was on his phone, His dog without a leash, But the dog was old and you could tell Because he was trailing behind his human And he was all gray and patchy and walking really slowly, And I saw them five times now, Except one of the times, he had a woman with him, They walked with a stern stride And the man wasn't on his phone and they were talking And the poor old dog could barely keep up, And I thought “What a small world.” This may seem random but, I’ve been thinking of all these small coincidences lately. All the routines people make, Take out the dog at 6pm, Take the kids to the park at 5pm, Go on a leisurely walk at 4pm,
At 9pm they leave the park to go back home for dinner time, At 8pm he talks to his distant relatives on the phone As he watches the lamps turn on, At 7pm she smokes a cigarette after a hard day at work, Gossips to her husband as he takes a drag. This may seem random but, All of these moments are just so human, And maybe who knows, Maybe at 10pm, someone is watching me from their windowsill As I watch the world. Maybe they're seeing me for the 20th time this time, Maybe they're thinking "What a small world."

Side Project WIP - Name Pending Long story short, this is a series about grief, and being stuck in a loop you’d like to get out of. If you too have lost someone, I am so so sorry for your loss. Bonus: I made a new crown badge for this project and it came out so well! #graphicdesign#design

Poster design work in progress. It reads: All I remember Was how you spoke to me Kind and soft and sorrowful With a shaky voice You said to me The words I feared I’d hear And that’s when I knew I couldn’t say the words back to you.

Writer’s Block #ThePaintedPoemsProject

My fingers sit on the keys I mean to type, Yet they make no words or sounds to write, Oh the time I have plenty of, I am just a lazy susan in the sun, The breeze goes by, The summer season is here, And yet here I sit, Without a word to write.

One of the most human things is the need to be heard, but how can I be if there is no room for my voice, my writing? I am here to defy limitations I’ve been given to work with. I am here to make more space. Welcome to The Painted Poems Project. kcrnixie.com#paintedpoems...#ThePaintedPoemsProject

The Painted Poems Project title card: Poems and Designs made by KCRNixie.
Project Intro Card #1: Something I’ve wanted to do for a few years now is figure out how I can share my writing to the social media scene when everything is so image-based and there’s not a lot of room for writing. As a society, we are engulfed in a world of videos, reels, clips, whatever you may call them. Unless you make a video about it, somehow your ideas don't come across people’s feeds as often. There are very few spaces where you are allowed to share your writing alongside other forms of media and so many of these platforms tend to be niche-inclined and for specific purposes. This is a statement piece against the way social media is designed today. In this series, I aim to criticize the social media-based society we live in and how everything is now video-based to the point where there is so little room for poetry and writing on socials. From Twitter’s 280-character cap to how we use that app mostly as a random collection of thoughts and updates nowadays.
Project Intro Card #2: We are no longer calling Twitter “X”, not because we aren't used to the name change, but because we have no respect for the platform anymore. How Instagram’s photo and reel features are limited, capping a post at 2,200 characters. Instagram’s secondary app, Threads, is essentially a makeshift Twitter at this point. Tumblr is one of the few spaces still designed for readers and writers, and how limitless this platform alone can be, and we use all of these apps to show only the good moments we have stored in our photos. This is about how we move away from literature so fast these days that we’re losing vocabulary and grammar and substituting it with lingo and slang instead. Schools aren’t teaching proper grammar in American educational systems anymore because of social media. Bookstores are mostly empty when you arrive at their destination, and Barnes and Noble are switching between playing defense and offense with bankruptcy because of Amazon.
Project Intro Card #3: Download an app to speak your mind. What if I don't want to do that? What if I don't want my story to disappear within the next 24 hours, something more permanent, more pronounced? Make more space for me to write, please. The point of this project is to make writing seen in a digital world not meant for it with the platforms we've been given to work with. What about the writers and the multimedia artists? This is a "screw you" to those who made the system this way. This is about everyone else's writing just as much as it is about mine. Thus, from a sense of wanting to belong, a new series emerges, The Painted Poems Project.
