Description So not much of an epic art update but it'll be a bit black and white until I get the cd done.

This is for the song "When we sang" by my friends in Drop To Zero.

The song is about being in a relationship and realizing that no matter what is accomplished together, you will be better off alone. So I tried to portray a couple who are bound by a malignant tumor that is their "love" , and though they think it's worth it, they also realize it is slowly killing them both and the female chooses to be the stronger one and decides that - even though she loves him and that she doesn't want it to end - that they are better off separated if they hope to survive emotionally...

This is the most disgusting, but worth while thing I've seen in a long time. You don't see a lot of art that actually, truly 'means' something. Something that people can relate to. Something that can teach others a thing or two about life. Good job!! It's a truly inspiring piece!!

What a beautiful piece.
I was so touched by it after reading your description... and then I saw the tumor smiling. Hahaha, now I cannot stop giggling.
Wonderful piece, it moved me and made me laugh!

Cookies are good. Cookies and scotch. But for the ~10 it costs for the subscription, the only scotch you could buy would taste like kerosene, or worse. So how bout just doing what you do best and wowing us when you update?
