L-ondina-norda-l - Hermitess

This made me think of an old art idea of mine - to draw him as a faerie... and then draw like at least ten more faerie illustrations, inspired by him, and make them into a colouring book... And when it's done and printed, send it to him.

I guess I should finish (or even better redraw) this little mermaid Jonny... As they say, Maybe Someday

But rn, I'll post him as a half finished artwork and a sketch

Made only now this little portrait, a thought of which didn't leave me since I've seen photo of Mahsa Ami̇ni̇ who died after morality police arrested her for wearing a hijab in a wrong way.

How absurd is this - none of mortal souls must have such a power over others' personal choices. Stand with Iranian women - they're fighting against something giant, swollen and very, very old. Something that doesn't want to go quietly.

Oceans away from the wakeful day

The meaning of mentioned Tarot Arcana:

I envisioned this thing a year and a half ago, when I only started getting acquainted with the band and The Ship. Now I think Jon also gives off some serious Emperor vibes (and as a necessary counterbalance to The Emperor comes The Fool, who among other things represents freedom). But now... now I'm not doing angst. I'm here for some celestial sweetness. For some astral romance if you will (not the second Nightwish reference in one post).

TW: depression.

Almost every day of my life I have thoughts which are so exhausting. Every single one of them is able to plunge me in a dark.

I've heard from some people that it may be just a phase - unwillingness to do anything is not eternal, and one day art block will surely end. On the opposite, others warn that hesitation is dangerous and without treatment it may get worse. Besides, sentences on illustration concern, I guess, not only art crisis, but mental health in general.

That's why I desided to write down my sickly toxic thoughts and draw this art on their base. Maybe I was hoping they will leave me alone after that at least for some time. Have to admit I really felt in my persistant outer grey mist a glimmering of something lucid and hopeful, especially strong during the art work itself.

I'm glad I found this way of self-help. Such thoughts had better be on paper. Not in my head, thanks, no.

Sometimes the song is so damn good you just have to illustrate it.
