The Second Voyage

This is a story about a crew member on a voyage from the 1800s.

The ship was rocking from side to side, as if the ocean’s arms were cradling us. The wind billowed in the mast, and the boat creaked.

It was the second voyage, and it wasn’t the smoothest one. I tried to keep what little I ate inside my stomach, but stale bread ended up hurling off the boat.

Our captain, Phineas Copre, stood strong even through the harsh weather. He shouted to the crew, “Get on board! Land is approaching!” The words caught in the wind, but they rang loudly in my ears. There was land! After 39 days, there was finally land! I pulled myself up and hurried to the captain. We all steered and turned, the boat rocking even more. One of our crew members fell off the ship! I could hear the wooden boards creaking beneath my feet, moaning from all the weight. Lightening suddenly hit the mast! The boat shook, and a huge wave came hurtling toward us. 

Tune in soon to find out what happens!

Open Me📬: New Blog!

Hi again!  I created a new blog called Spilled Art that posts most of my new artworks, from digital to pencil. I post every Sunday! The reason I created Spilled Art is because most of the art and stories are older here. I am going to post any personal stories/updates here and the rest of my artworks on my new blog.

Luiaard's Crits #3: Who's the Boss?

Oh my gosh. Have any of you heard of Who's the Boss? It was a show that started in the 80s about a housekeeper named Tony Micelli moving in Angela Bower's house to work there. Tony and his daughter, Samantha, moved from Brooklyn to Connecticut so Samantha could live a better life. The story builds up as Tony and Angela start having a relationship that is taking FOREVER, according to everyone who knows them. This show is so amazing! There are more characters to meet, like Angela's son (Jonathan) and Angela's mom, Mona. This show consists of 8 seasons, and it only took me a month or two to finish it! It is a really amazing show if you like comedies and romances (my type by the way). Stay tuned for an amazing story from Who's the Boss?
