#opera house

Cuvilliés Theatre, Munich, Germany

No good opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when they are feeling sensible.

-- W. H. Auden

Hello everyone!!! i've been very OFF my personal social media lately, only work happening....i kinda....snapped... in like...october 2024 i think? like....i thought i was gonna die, at least die on the inside... i was so bad that i thought i would never grab a pencil or experience joy again.

but, several months later, and several prescribed pills later, here i am....recovering (again).

aaand i'm showing here what i've been doing! i will TRY to be here more often but i cant promise honestly...(all my energy goes into my work and my life, its hard finding energy to make personal drawings)

That first drawing was a doodle based on a The Phantom of the Opera 2004 movie still. older raoul de chagny + the nurse + destroyed opera house

This one i did as a warmup with the pencil. My baby Sam.

and this one "Remorse"....it reflects my state of mind these last few months. Lots of grief, remorse, anger, sadness, pain....while in the outside... i'm wearing a mask of numbness, i'm screaming my lungs out of how much pain i feel, while my real/old self is buried just beneath the surface, but yet i cant touch her...

Maybe i was able to touch her now, cause...here i am being creative again.
