Life is Chaos

As the name implies, life is chaos, and its all just bouncing from one situation to another. The only common thread is numbers. Whether dates, time, location, everything is numbers. Overwhelmed by numbers.

A Pair of Great Tits

Come one, come all, and take a peak at this pair of great tits! For the discerning viewer only! (Yes its a bad joke, but I’ve been stretched thin and couldn’t do something serious. Don’t publish this part. Also don’t publish the detailed image. Also also , there is a small signage that goes with the piece, but its not done yet. It will help sell the joke. )

Lovestruck

2024

In a modern setting, the Greek God of love, Eros, (Cupid for you Romans) fires his golden arrow, causing a male to fall in love. His heart explodes into sharp ruby fragments, showering the young woman in affection. The crowd behind are faceless and invisible to the lovers. Aphrodite, the overall goddess of love, watches above.
