The Empathizer Bunny

Latest posts

In August 2014 almost 2 years ago exactly, I woke up and scribbled this in my journal. ” The Empathizer Bunny, it keeps hugging and hugging.” I told myself, one day I would draw a better version and I left it in my head and never thought about it again. 
Last night I put on make-up and kissed some paper. It’s been on my mind to do that,  I’m not just weird for no reason.  Last week I picked up a sandwich for a friend while simultaneously wearing lipstick. I never wear lipstick, it feels like my wet mouth is wearing hot leather pants. Whose idea was it to put red wax on our smiles?   I think of baboon butts AGAIN, which I think of every time I put on lipstick and wonder why would someone do this? I have this thought so often that I wrote
Anyway, I need to blot the lipstick,  but I sort of cleaned my car and theirs nothing to rub my mouth on….so I end up kissing on my friends sandwich wrapper. The lip prints were so sweet on the sandwich. It looked like the sandwich maker put it there and it was kinda flirty…and just…like who kisses a sandwich?  My friend was so excited about it until I was like, “Oh those are from me” and he was like”oh”  hashtag awkward  hashtag youknowimgayright …
So I put my lips to paper late last night and this is what came out.

Believe me I was as surprised to see it as you are! I hadn’t thought about those guys in 2 years and here they were, wanting to be seen.  This Empathizer Bunny made with 100 kisses looking right back at me.

I became obsessed. I’ve been kissing paper all day. Over and over again, this empathizer bunny made of kisses, just keeps happening. I sold 4 of them today, all with their own specific idiosyncrasies. I like to think of people around the world all sharing this common thread with each other. Not knowing who, but knowing somewhere out there is this giant family of kissed up bunnies, reminding people to love one another. It feels like a movement, I made so many of these bunny kisses today. They keep multiplying at a rate so fast its like….

well you know.

So I branched out to butterfly kisses and making a Lover’s Oak of kisses and by mid day I looked like a clown version of someones crazy aunt who puts lipstick on the outside of her mouth.


 I have Drawn The Conclusion: that when you feel for someone, when you care and understand their emotions. You cover them in metaphorical kisses. You blanket them in the safety of your love. I like the idea that we are made up of each other. I like that idea that our love shapes the people we care about. I like the idea of being made out of kisses.  I’m probably what you would call a romantic, I mean I even kiss sandwiches.
