Artist's CommentsA piece that has been sketched for ages now, i just had no motivation to finish it. There has been some pretty crappy stuff happening in my life right now, i dont know who follows my LJ but i write a lot there. I've lost my passion for art right now, it was a struggle to complete this but i did it just so i could keep my mind occupied for a time. I guess in a way this is self portrait although it doesn't look anything like me. She does have my signature nose ring and blue eyes and she has decorative feathers - feathers represent my love of birds. I think the feathers also represent my state, the feeling that i've been off with the fairies so to speak. I haven't been all here, i've lived the last few weeks in a kind of daydream - except its more like a living nightmare. She has a somewhat masked face, i guess i want to hide who i am. I don't like myself because of this situation i am in. I feel pretty worthless and pathetic and i need to move on with my life, although i don't know how. Thats why the scarab beetles are so important in this piece. The image of a 'ball of dung' rolled on the ground into a depression, for laying a beetle egg, and the transformation of a beetle larva, arising from a dung ball, became an iconographic, and ideological symbol which was incorporated into Ancient Egyptian society. The Egyptians believed that the sun Ra rolled across the sky each day, and souls, and bodies became transformed. I guess its about the transformation i need in my life right now. I need to be transformed from this old miserable state - this old me and find a way into the new me. New things are opening up for me in my life right now and i need to move on from all this old crappy shit thats happening and embrace the new, leave all my unhappiness behind and the prick who's causing it all. Thats also why the scarabs have wings - wings for flight and freedom. This is an idea and image that i've used a lot in my art so its become kind of personal to me. The red represents all the blood i have lost, all my passion burnt up, all the things i had gained which were stolen. It represents my anger and my grief and the burning desire to be happy and free ... a feeling i have clawing within to get out. My head hasn't been right, i haven't been well. But now i will move and leave all my nightmares behind.

I believe driving is an artform and all taxi drivers are abstract artists.
Hope you find your spark again soon xoxo

This is super awesome.
Everything flows together so well.
It all looks so, watery? I guess is the word. How it all runs smoothly together. ^^
And I really like your scarab beetles.
