Artist's Comments

I recently experienced something along the lines of a psychotic episode, you might call it. No, not the loud violent kind. More of a silent, deeply unnerving experience. It started on Sunday and it's worn off significantly since then, but it's not exactly over just yet. I was hearing things, felt incredibly confused and anxious for no reason at all, was 'off-balance' physically and moving like you'd expect someone 'insane' to move, etc. Fortunately I still had enough coherence of thought to function. So what did I do? I sat in the corner of my room with my art supplies in a semicircle in front of me, and painted all day. This is one of the better pieces. Done earlier than the last one; just forgot about it.

Ink, diluted ink, Micron, white-out pen and watercolor.

No words, no decent feedback, simply an utter adoration for this image.

Having looked at the last five or so pieces in your gallery, I say, 'You paint like you really, really need a hug.' So have a cyberhug. Also a fave, because it's mostly awesome.

I was looking through my favourites and I can't believe I didn't comment on this when I first saw it...

This is one of my most-loved pieces in your gallery... It's just so.. raw and emotional and shocking somehow. I've played with watercolours before and I've never gotten an effect like this - the tentacles/intestines gleam with a jellied shine that makes my little art-lover's heart happy; the big violet circle reminds me almost of an X-marks-the-spot, as if it's saying: this is where the trouble is, this is the plague section.

Just wow.

And eh.. as for the comment... better late than never?
