From light to tears



Fish like warmth too you know. When surrounded by a dark void, the light is were you will be drawn to. It is in our instinct. It makes no difference whether you're a human or a fish. We may be very different from another, but when it comes down to it, it are the same things we look for.



I was strolling through a second-hand store and between all the used toys, clothes and furniture there was also a book section containing all subjects you can think of. When I was casually flipping through pages of one old book about insects, a photograph whirled down that had been stuck between the pages for who knows how long. I took it with me for reasons unknown and made a picture of it. If anyone knows who it may be, feel free to let me know and I'll return it to it's maker.


You know sometimes that when you're drawing something and think "Oh yeah, this is going to be the shit!" and when you're done and take a good look at it go like "God this IS shit"? That's exactly what happend to me. The colouring went pretty bad while during the pencil scetching I thought "Yeah, this is going to be cool.". I happen to have snatched a pic before "the shittening" began. You can already see here it wasn't going to be my best drawing anyway.



Again, like that other time, when turned into sepia, I think it saves the image at least a bit....
This guy is supposed to be some sort of forest demon, who you don't want to mess with.




With colours....



It is a miracle my tears didn't fall on the paper, otherwise it would be ruined even more.
It resembles a spiderman exposed to toxic waste for to long.....it's way too red and everything, but whatever,  it is beyond saving now. I only hope you learn from my mistakes. Then at least this creative abomination wasn't made in vain.

You know, like my great example Doctor Steve Brule would say: "Pff, who cares, who are you... to judge?"

Oh btw, if the link of of my video Night Surrounder in the previous blog post doesn't work for you, you can just go to my profile on Vimeo and look for it there: https://vimeo.com/user15250778


Let's end it up with a grand track. This is the Sea by The Waterboys. The British and Irish boys deliver a sound larger than live and take us up a wall of sound to gently put you back on your feet at the end. What's more to say? Well, I'll also give you the soothing Air Part 1: The Threat by Ed Rome. It seems I was the first to upload it on Youtube. It will not set the world on fire, but I find it just nice to listen to.

And now just shut up and enjoy.
