You got a very unique visual style that is very expressive and beautiful. This one is sad. It shows a bond between two, once living, people. A bond that is dead.
Stunning as usual.

I love the colors you used here - they help make this even more expressive. Absolutely great composition! Fantastic!

I like the vision and the text seems to give it extra importance. 
I understand the jumbled bones, but need a transcriptionist for the jumbled words.

he he he .... I use to use text in my work all the time ... I would do kind of freeform writing .... very stream of consciousness stuff about the subject matter.... My handwriting changes a lot depending on my mood so I liked the concept that some emotional charge would support the more traditional image. 
However-
I started hiding riskier and riskier things in the text..... I liked burying things in plain sight......... But people started to notice and would make a point of digging out words. 
So I started writing backwards in the drawings and in my journal.... but I could only print- I couldn't quickly write backwards in cursive .... and that just wasn't as expressive. So I moved away from it.
Now I have less to hide ... and as I get older cursive handwriting is becoming more obscure to newer generations so I might start working with text again. 
The only other text story I have is from when I was frustrated and working..... long story short almost everything I wrote devolved into 1" high letters clearly shouting fuck .... mumble mumble mumble Fucking mumble fuck..... It seemed to be the only word I naturally wrote in crisp bold and precise text.  
I don't think you will ever make sense of it I think it is my equivalent of speaking in tongues.

This is so beautiful!
It reminds me of parents who lost their unborn child and they are still suffering from that loss even after their own death.
The warm color tones show how much they wanted this child and how much love they had to give.
And I guess that the written words are accusations or are the things they wanted to say to their future child.
This is such a strong image! I LOVE YOUR WORK Dx

Thanks so much... I really like your interpretation ... 

….I had a wandering mind that just kept creating new stories for this couple  while drawing. The dominant tale, the one  that lasted in some form or another  through most of the drawing had something to do with discovering the remains of a couple killed at the exact moment they conceived a child. I wanted there to be scattered and incomplete bones, rot, decay….. and tragedy…… but also a lasting joy and magic…… 

There were parts of the story I let go of …. things that fluctuated ……….

I liked the idea that they were peaceful and content when they were killed but sadly had no future…. I played with the idea that because of the timing the spark of a life beginning lingered like an unsatisfied ghost or mist of potential energy. 
.... and I had a very vague concept involving fertility and decay. 


I almost called this either ‘Tragic Conception' or ‘A Twinkle in Her Father’s Eye” 

but frankly your version works just as well....
I like to keep things open for interpretation.... and I think that so many subconscious elements are embedded in everything I do that what I say about its' meaning is nearly irrelevant.... more trivia than anything

Woah, your description is so deep and I'm glad you wrote down what you had in mind while drawing
Sometimes ones head is so full with stories while drawing but when it comes to describing the picture you are reluctant to write your thaughts down because you think that no one cares.
So thanks for sharing your thaughts
