Description
There are various phrases that jangle insistently in my head and make a weird little space around themselves. They go away for awhile, and then show up again. I sort of assume that some day I will find myself in a strange dreamworld—possibly that’s what happens when you die, I don’t know, or I will accidentally fall into a fairy mound while chasing an interesting bird—and these phrases will turn out to be critically important to my survival. (The alternative is that I’m mildly insane.)One of the most persistent of these is “Antelope women are not to be trusted.”

My guess would be that those phrases are the little things you brought back with you from dreams you can't remember, at least not fully. I have some of those... But the only consistent thing is that there is a lot of running involved... In any case, I definitely do not trust this antelope woman: she looks a bit devious, if intriguing(as always!).

That warning sounds similar to a poem by Neil Gaiman.

Very interesting! Have you ever read "The Antelope Wife" by Louise Erdrich? It might confirm your suspicions. I read it in high school for a World Literature class... I remember it being very weird, but in a very original way.

I know those sentences. I have a habit of forgetting them before writing them down, but if I have the chance I do.

I'm faving this, not so much for the picture, but for the description.

That antelope is glorious, so beautiful! But, really, I always love the creativity and elegance in your pieces!

Now I'm thinking about how to work that sentence into my rolegaming campaign. They've already got a door that leads into Gearworld, which they've very cautiously poked at and decided to leave for later. Just waiting until they meet up with Eland and Heinrich. Hm. A world of sentient talking animals would be a good place for the sentence. Slide it into the middle of a story an NPC tells about how he ended up with that strange tattoo.
Your art, as usual, is inspirational. Thanks.

It's true: they're not nearly as straightforward as Buffalo Gals.... 7@=e

Sanity really is overrated, and at times awfully inconvienient...
Just ask the Christmas Platypus, He'll tell you it's true

Well, sanity IS highly overrated. Besides, I prefer to think of an off-kilter view of the world as skewed reality. It sounds so much nicer. Insanity has all those negative connotations attached to it.

But antelope women ARE notoriously duplicitous.
And I think a mild degree of insanity is necessary for really good arts. So it's really an evolutionary advantage.
