Artist's Comments

The law of existence that is perhaps the easiest to understand is that a very clear, concrete wall divides the worlds of the living and the dead. Though the wall is not tangible, it is a concept that is understood and obeyed by all of nature. The wall must never be crossed.

This was the information given to me by every conceivable source from the moment of my birth until my nineteenth year, when the strangest of events marked both the end and the beginning of my otherwise unremarkable life.

I crossed the wall.

It is as though I stand within the very stone and mortar of that wall right now, along with the tiny number of others who share my fate. Each day is equally wondrous and disconcerting to me. I marvel that I may walk the streets and yet take no breath. My cheek is cold, and his is cold as well, and yet we do not lie still in the ground as we undoubtedly should.

How, why did we become those who are...in between?

I will have the answer.

I love how insane yet still soft this picture manages to be, the coloring work on it is EXCELLENT as usual~ This work especially has a sense of weight around it.

Sometimes I lay awake and wonder...

How many sinus infections are actually spiders who couldn't mind their own damn business?

:blackrose: Words have weight,
something once said cannot be unsaid;
meaning is like a stone dropped into a pool;
the ripples will spread and you cannot know what bank they wash against. :blackrose:
