Works in Progress

Just another of those art dumps...

Here's my latest project: Bomber Boys. It was initially *meant* to be a quick speedpaint for my Sketch-a-Day challenge at Deviant Art, but then halfway through the paint-blobbing I became emotionally attached to it, and decided I had to do a real painting.

When I was 14 years old, I desperately wanted to be a pilot. Specifically, a B-17 Flying Fortress pilot. The fact that I was born in the wrong historical period, in the wrong country, and at a time where there were no active conflicts in my area, and had worse eyesight than a dead bat never deterred me. So almost all of my vacation time NOT spent at the astronomy club was spent writing hideously bad WWII bomber fiction. Seriously. I guess I was just feeling nostalgic when I started this.















And a halfway done commissioned painting of a Rebel Pilot and a Sith Lord doing the Lindy Hop in an Alliance hangar. LOL.

Bleakness

I am wounded too deeply to heal. The irony is that the people who need to understand it won't, and the ones who will are in no position to do anything about it.

If all of life were just a stage, it would be a simple matter to turn off the lights, walk out and softly close the door behind you.
