Genuinely curious, what makes you so interested in rot and decay? I notice it's in a lot of your art, most of your fruit people were paired with a rotting, moldy version. I think you had some mushroom people drawing like that too iirc. And your newest piece is a decaying mermaid. What draws you into those themes?
All your art is beautiful and amazing btw!
Itβs kinda silly, but I had a very religious upbringing and was taught Iβd live for eternity and that I must devote my life to god in order to gain a spot in heaven - which sounded like absolute purgatory to my child self. I didnβt even ask to be born, and now youβre telling me I have to keep this bit up FOREVER? A lifetime is already overwhelming, let alone eternity.
As a cope I got really into death, rot and the natural cycle of life. Let there be a conclusion to this short window of existence
Also - isnβt it kinda messed up to have kids if you believe in the concept of hell? You pull an innocent soul from the abyss, and now they run the risk of eternal damnation.
The whole βItβs our duty as gods chosen people to create families in his honorβ spiel just sounds like pushing the consequences onto your offspring. Like those chain emails that say youβll die if you donβt send it out to 5 new people.
reblogging because this is the first time i have seen someone exactly like me, and it happens to be an artist ive been following for years. maybe a lot of people talk about how scary it must be to live eternally, but im happy you of everyone were the first i saw to be like me.
