Formerly Quagmere

My name is Lauren and I like drawing patterns, flowers, and random things I like. I've more active on: Instagram @laoren.chen & Twitter @ChenLaoren

I just want cute little chickens. The main reason why I want a house with a yard even though they’re now like $600k+ in my city and I have no hope of affording one by myself 🥺

Babushka borzoi that apparently is doing very well on my Twitter which is kinda hilarious because I originally posted a half baked sketch and not a more realized sweet girl

“‘Cuz sometimes I look in her eyes and that’s when I catch a glimpse of us”

Listened to Glimpse of Us and it’s been making me cry almost every day for a month. I’m not doing well, I’m not coping well, and I still miss him even if it’s been almost exactly a year and I know they’ve already moved on, and I’m still here pathetically mourning 7 years of memories.

Drew my family dog in a quilted jacket. Still miss her but I hope y’alls pets are nice and cozy 💖

Here we are, an atom and a star

You’re a part of the movement and everything matters

To me,

To me, to me, to me

They’re just some sad flowers 🥀

Sometimes I want to sleep forever and let my body return to the earth

Topiary Forest

Was looking at topiaries and just felt that the shapes were very satisfying to look at.

Today, I cried to the Twigs song and I just want to run down a hill in a house I own with some cute chickens surrounded in a field of gold, Nausicaa-style.

I’m still waiting for spring, but I hope it’s finally arrived for you. Blue like my mood as of late 💙

Haven't been thrivin' or survivin' very well lately. I know I'll be ok and just need to power through but some days, I just don't want to

Prison Experiment 1

Saw how expensive large scale, mass produced prints from home decor stores was and then remembered that I know how to draw so here’s a 9″x12″ painting that I understand isn’t large scale by any means but is large for me. I also forgot that I am bad at colors. Sorry about the name; It’s what popped into my head as I noticed I’ve been going outside like once a week to get groceries because it’s too cold for my thin and weak southern blood.

I wish people didn’t put my artwork on Pinterest. I don’t want it there. And my god, why can’t y’all choose some of the work I actually like and not pin some of the very trash artwork I’ve posted in the past??

A cute little forest girl who hopes you are enjoying a nice fall this year. 🍄🍁
