Through the lavender and blue smoky haze, there's a gilded mirror with a man's reflection upon it. It's also cracked.
The text reads from top down:
"Who's face do you want to see reflected in the mirror?
A friend?
A foe?
Or
something
much more...
Monstrous?"

The same background as before with the following text:

Don't you see how it always end?
You play the hero and fall, bent and broken on the wheel that they shaped.
Why bleed for those who never bled themselves?
Deny it all you want, but all of this is nothing more than a facade

The third stanza of Danse della Morte is now up, #writersky!
If you don't know, this is a story inspired by Poe's Mask of Red Death and by Saint-Sean's Danse Macabre, following the footsteps of the Reaper of Souls.

Art stream was a much needed stress release. And they came out so pretty!

ecit: I realized my dyslexia flipped the e and a with Rhyllae's name. *sigh*

Watercolor. Shades of blue and purple arranged as bl9cks of rapid brush strokes. In front of the color blocks is "Aramis" written in sharpie black ink. Then the whole page is dotted by specks of blue and purple. The backdrop is white.

Similar to one prior, but the blocks of color is a range of yellow, orange, and peach. They were diffuse throughout the page, bathing in a warm sunny glow. "Rhyllea" was written, but the character's bame is Rhyllae. It too is speckled with orange and yellow dots.

Similar to Aramis page. A watercolor blocks of red, pinks, and purple in that order. the red block at the far left has one drip line down. in the upper middle of the colors is a dash of yellow. there's also a horizontal streak of a rust orange at the bottom right of the colors. "Dawn" is written in black ink. There are red, pink, and purple dots all over the page.

my heart, because he's going to need extra help and care from here on out. I received his joint supplements today because he wasn't as agile or jumping like he used to. This is not out of complaint, just realizing time had past on by and my babies are no long 'babies'.

It's not an emergency, but Richard had been showing signs of something is off with him. I want to keep the specifics private because speculating will only increase my anxiety at this point.
It hurts because I have been with him and his siblings since they were born. Seeing him as an old man breaks

Me sitting with my messy bun, sweater, and glasses. no makeup no filter. Background is the family living room with the brown couch, dvd library, and paintings. The yellow cast on my face comes from the overhead light.

Mudhi tilted his head at her before he lurched forward, teeth first.
Dido threw her hands. "Milost!" Everything went white.

Her entire body trembled with fright as sparks flew between her stiff hair strands.
Then she grew silent as the light from the garden dimmed. The door creaked wider as the naked Mudhi pushed it open with his broken elbow, his forearm dangling from the joint. The one eye, purple and deformed, buldged

Then Dido heard a sickening thud, and a shadow loomed over the lone eyeball. Dido couldn't breathe, no matter how hard her lungs pumped for air. Then she held her breath as she watched the clammy hand reach down and pick it up.
"No, no, no, no," squeaked out of her mouth like a wheel needing grease.

And she and I aren't talking about art in the formal sense, such as drawing or writing (though that is included). But art that inspires your joy and imagination. Making video games, making meals, singing, dancing, making pupppet shows, colorings, sewing, collage, scrapbooking. Art is human.

It's getting tougher here in the US.
Wondering if I should continue just making art.
Not wonder if any of the art matters, but seeing it matter less compare to more 'actionable' things.
But after watching this, I realized that art heals.
We need to see art they don't want us to see.
