Description This picture does have alot of symbolism. The girl in the picture represents me. The skeleton represents death and pain. The black represents darkness and emptiness, while the red stands for blood and life.

As you may note, my spine is curved in this drawing. This was how my back was like before I got my operation. I used to have a back deformity called Scoliosis (when your back curves extremely to a side) until I recieved a corrective surgery to minimalize the distortion.

So... I'm really glad I got my operation over with; but I will never forget it. This drawing is basically a representation of what the disease was like for me. If you want to read more on this, go to [link]

I drew the pic so it looked like a playing card - you can turn it upside down and see the skeleton on the other side of the girl...

Thank you!
I am feeling much better now I guess, this operation almost seems like a distant memory. You're right, it affects your spirit and mind too.... I've changed so much afterwards, learned to appreciate life and the people around me.

Well you have to have a dark lurky computer room in order to draw scary Gothic stuff!
I'm trying to be like Frida Kahlo.
