Happy first day of Spring!! I created this image without a thought of Spring but I couldn't think of a better day to post this! 💚
Out of something broken, bleak or sad something beautiful can still grow. As Brooke Shaden said, "we are all so human it hurts sometimes." We just have to remember that we aren't meant to remain broken, and winter doesn't last forever.
Out of the bleakness of winter, spring comes, and brings new life 💚
Last night I was looking through some pieces from artist Natalie Shau's 2018 gallery collection for Le Cabinet des Curieux in Paris. I came across this one, and I wanted to do something inspired by it:
beautifulbizarre.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Natalie_s...
I don't really do color stories focusing heavily on one color, so I did my own set of colors and kept Natalie's concept in mind for the rest. I'm no Natalie Shau, I know, but I'm working on it. 😉

New piece I worked on. I don't know if this will be the finally version. I am working on a few new piece because I have a show based on mermaids I will be in at the la bodega gallery in November!
My own tombstone
Throughout my existence, I wandered, leaving behind fragments of myself in the dust of forgotten ages and uncertain futures. Each step brought me closer to the echoes of the past, a ghost in the annals of history.
But as I traversed the winding corridors of time, I stumbled upon a tombstone shrouded in mystery. Its walls bore ancient runes, a cryptic testament to lives long gone and memories lost to the sands of time.
In those inscriptions, I found echoes of my own existence, whispers of lives lived and loves lost. Faces blurred by the passage of centuries stared back at me, their voices a haunting melody in the silence of the tomb.
And as I traced my fingers along the weathered stone, I remembered that in the vast tapestry of life, my own thread had been woven countless times before. Forgotten by the world but immortalized in every tombstone and grave where I hid my trace.
Scotland, someday in March 1902

My girl is suppose to be watching the baby bats. Instead she is freeing them. I got the idea from calamity cole She did a piece called The Vampire Keeper and that inspired me to do this.
The Dreamed Kingdom
I sprinted anxiously through the dense forest, yearning to vanish within its depths, seeking refuge behind every shadow. I ran ceaselessly, chased by my own ego, attempting to elude it in vain, a relentless hunter, a compulsive liar. Allow me to revert to being a child once more. I understand that false crowns lose their luster and rust, that ancient tortoises walk slowly but with steadfast determination, that swift hares easily succumb to distractions and that small, seemingly insignificant creatures can conquer the world. Permit me to dream of a flawless kingdom crafted just for me.

Old photo, new edit.
This is me playing with Oniric's glow plugin. Technology is awesome. They open up more ways to turn imagination into reality. Here, Rick's artistic body paint and Averie's red ropes on Kristy had inspired me to add a flaming pheonix alongside her.
That's always the fun part about playing with older photos. Imaginations shifts as we experience. Interpretation changes as we expand. I don't want my styles to stay constant. I want to go left and I want to go right. I want to be weird and I want to judge for myself.

In the stillness of the night, beneath a moon's gentle gaze,
Rest eludes me, as anxiety's tendrils slowly begin to raise.
In the quiet, my mind becomes a tempest of fears,
Whispers of doubt and worries, filling my ears.
Each toss and turn upon the bed, a futile attempt to find peace,
But the shadows dance mockingly, their taunts never cease.
Sensitivity, a burden I bear, like a weight upon my chest,
As thoughts swirl like a storm, leaving me unrest.
The darkness holds secrets, its depths unknown,
And in the silence, my anxieties have grown.
The ticking of the clock, a reminder of time slipping away,
As I yearn for the solace of sleep, to come and to stay.
But sleep remains a distant dream, an elusive prize,
As I navigate the labyrinth of my mind's cries.
And so, I lay awake, in the stillness of the night,
Haunted by the anxiety, that refuses to take flight.

Back to Path
In a quaint town, hidden in the shadows of ancient mountains, lived Lis, a gifted young magician. Drawn to forbidden and cursed books, she discovered a tome that spoke of portals to other worlds and times. Intrigued, she cast a forbidden spell, unknowingly opening a gateway to unimaginable realms.
As the portal shimmered into existence, Lis found herself in a fantastical land where towering trees whispered ancient secrets, and the sky painted with hues unseen. Creatures beyond imagination roamed freely, their ethereal forms dancing with magic. Yet, with each step, Lis felt the weight of a looming curse, a consequence of meddling with the forbidden.
Guided by a spectral figure, she navigated through realms, encountering challenges that tested her newfound powers. The cursed tome, tethered to her fate, whispered cryptic warnings. Time warped around her as she sought a way to close the portals and break the curse.
In the end, Lis triumphed, sealing the gateways with a sacrifice of her own magic. Returning to her town, she bore the mark of the forbidden, a reminder of the enchanting yet perilous journey that unfolded through the pages of her destiny...

Understanding what we are going through is like fantasy, like a flame, like vanity, like an echo, like a dream, like a shadow, like transition.
It is like an image in the mirror or the moon in the water, which appear to have a form but cannot be touched, therefore, these are formless.
When we see these beautiful fleeting sparks, we chase after them. In the end, they are nothing but illusions.

Something different
"These outreaching hands are meant to symbolize unrestrained desire. Crossing that bridge into the white temple signifies that the way to happiness is to forgo temptation, greed, and desire."
I adore Ava's performance here. What truly captivated my attention is her raw and vulnerable expression, as she screams out in pain. The intense emotion she exudes is palpable and heart-wrenching. A visceral reminder of our turbulent universe.

Óðinn Rúnar
In chaotic times where shadows whisper, those who walk the line between worlds find solace in ancient wisdom. They bear the burden of unseen dangers and confront dark forces with potent spells and sacred talismans. Among the mystical symbols woven into their protective tapestry, the Odin rune stands tall—a beacon against the abyss.
Etched with the power of the Allfather, the Odin rune intertwines the threads of wisdom, sacrifice, and divine insight. It is a talisman worn by those initiated into the secrets of the unseen. Each rune whispers a verse of protection, a chant to ward off the malevolent forces that prowl in the shadows.
As the seekers of the mystical navigate the thresholds, the Odin rune adorns their journey with a shield of ancient magic. It embodies the strength derived from sacrifice and the wisdom that transcends mortal understanding. In the dance between light and shadow, the rune stands as a sentinel, guarding against the perils that lurk beyond the veil of the ordinary.

Slumber Party
As twilight faded into the embrace of night, a world unfurled within the confines of my mind. Shadows danced upon the walls, morphing into fantastical creatures born of imagination's kind.
As I nestled beneath my covers, a peculiar slumber party ensued. Fears and nightmares took center stage, their eerie presence both daunting and subdued.
In my bed, monsters lurked, their forms shifting with each flicker of the night. Yet, amidst the darkness, there were also friendly creatures, whimsical beings that filled my heart with delight.
Together, we embarked on adventures untold, traversing landscapes of dreams and mysteries bold. Through the veil of sleep, reality blurred, and I knew that no matter what nightmares may come, I was never truly alone.

On black rocks
she rushes, drunk to death,
the ardent lover of the wind.
Sobre negros peñascos
se precipita, embriagada de muerte,
la ardiente enamorada del viento.

Destroyer of Worlds
In the heart of cosmic uncertainty, the Destroyer of Worlds stood at the crossroads of a devastating choice. A celestial entity, neither benevolent nor malevolent, she harbored the power to unravel the fabric of existence itself.
The inhabitants of her own world trembled in the wake of impending cataclysm, their destinies hanging in the balance. Simultaneously, her gaze extended beyond the cosmic veil, where entities from the deep recesses of space and monstrous creatures dwelling in the abysses of consciousness awaited their fates.
As the cosmic scales teetered, a profound question echoed through her ethereal existence: Would she be the harbinger of her own world's demise, or would she unleash the devastation from cosmic entities and the monstrous depths within? In the celestial tapestry of indecision, the Destroyer of Worlds pondered the gravity of her choice, knowing that the answer would echo through the cosmos, shaping destinies and sealing fates in the dance of cosmic uncertainty.

Leave
Amidst the ethereal glow of ancient moon, a soul stood at the crossroads of the worlds. The decision to let go echoed along with the whisper of the relative calm ocean. The whispers of spiritual guides echoed, gentle counsel for the heart heavy with repressed pain.
The border between sand and sea, a portal to chosen absence. Absence, a spectral muse, lingered among the remnants of a lifetime's art, a palette worn with hues of tragedy and fiction, sketches echoing untold stories. The artist's heart, burdened with repressed pain, pulsed like a brush about to stroke the canvas of a new beginning.
Her fingers traced figures in the wet sand, knowing that in a few moments the waves would devour that ephemeral creation.
When the waves swallowed his work and soaked his feet, the artist entered the unknown, riding in the ethereal place of spiritual guides. She sighed in silent reverence, absorbing the chosen absence of a lifetime of art left behind. In the realm of the artist's soul, an unspoken agreement emerged: a future painted in the hues of new freedom, a testament to the art of letting go and the limitless canvases that await creation...

Believing in Dragons
Long time ago, in a realm where magic once flourished, a young wich named Lis discovered a dragon, the last of its kind. The world trembled in fear of the majestic creature, but she saw past the scaly exterior to the loneliness within.
As humans rallied to slay the dragon, Lis stood as its protector. She understood the creature's gentle heart and its desire for companionship. In the face of ignorance and hatred, she risked everything to shield her scaly friend.
Yet, the true monster emerged not from scales and fire but from the hearts of humans. Blinded by fear, they condemned the magical beings of the world. Despite Lis's efforts, the dragon perished, and magic faded away, leaving the realm bereft of enchantment.
In the end, the world lost not only a magnificent creature but also the magic that once connected all living things. Lis mourned the loss, knowing that the true extinction came from the darkness within the human soul.
