Do you ever just look at a car park and think ‘wow capitalist individualism is so inefficient’?

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my lids and all is born again. (I think I made you up inside my head.)

the stars go waltzing out in blue and red, and arbitrary blackness gallops in: I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed and sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane. (I think I made you up inside my head.)

god topples from the sky, hell's fires fade: exit seraphim and Satan's men: I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I fancied you'd return the way you said, but I grow old and I forget your name. (I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should have loved a thunderbird instead; at least when spring comes they roar back again. I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. (I think I made you up inside my head.)

Ineffable Wives! (all time favorite)

Yeah so this drawing was inspired by Eva Gonzalès' "la toilette" cause I'm absolutely obsessed with impressionists and Good Omens and I needed to cope after e6

Also, new signature!

"The end of life, but not of love"

My little tribute to Techno. It's taken me months to make. Picked up a little art board sometime last year and just started sketching away, planning each little detail for days at a time. Each little symbol hidden in the vines is a nod to his friends or notable events, like the golden bell in his hand representing the sellout timer. Or the potatoes for the war with squid kid. I think he'd be proud of it. I don't know if it'll ever be finished, there's so many other things that could be added to it. I'll probably be working on it up until I decide where to send it off to. But I hope it does him justice. I hope it honors his memory. Kings used to get elaborate manuscripts created to record their lives, so why shouldn't he? Again, not sure when or if it'll ever be finished. But it's here, I guess.

I'm soft
