Description An old friend once told me "Shit happens, this is shit and it's happened" as a response to why she was romantically involved with my closest friend. They had been keeping it a secret for a while and I got upset that I was the last to know... considering I lived with her and my closest friend I had known since I was about 12 years old.

That night sat in the front of a modded silver Vauxhall Astra...
in a supermarket carpark...
listening to Alice In Chains...
chain smoking cigarettes and joints.

I can't forget how shocked I felt... and how much I felt that I wish I had have been the one with my closest friend. Not because I wanted to be romantically involved with him, but more that I knew she was bad for him and I knew any girl would be the luckiest girl in the world to be with him.

Needless to say, the relationship lasted about a month... well with what I knew of. The friend I lived with became obsessive over my closest friend and I got accused of doing something which I never did. My friend was jealous. She didn't like the fact he loved me... _he_ loved me and not her.

The old friend and I parted ways when it all came out that she had created the jealous chaos and it took me a while to feel comfortable with my closest friend.

9 months infact.

During those 9 months I changed... personality wise, appearance wise and when we next exchanged words and he asked me why I changed so much... my response was "Shit happens. This is shit and it's happened."

True story.

I prefer to showcase ALL artwork that I love (and that includes popular artists with a fair amount of traffic to their work) in order to create a non-biased feature of the talent on dA. *PLZ DO KEEP IN MIND - some of the features are quite popular and obviously don't need extra help - however - I enjoy posting them because they inspire other artists.

love the story you put with this.. also the metaphors in the colors and in the whole context of the image really.. too bad it all went down like that.

I've always been a huge fan of your work. And the story behind this one is most quite interesting to me simply because I could relate in some ways (i had a best friend who lied to me for a year and a half, to my face and in every other way, about the fact that he was in a relationship with someone we both knew. Surprisingly i found out even later than others, though i was considered his "best friend").

Shit does happen. Thanks for sharing your art and life.

Simple, but effective. (as in, you could probably make up lots of emotions from that picture)
