Artist's Comments

Lots of different things inspired this, but in the end it's just the same lazy kind of thing as the last one.

I'll tell you about the only inspiration I can remember. Have you read a book called "The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat", by Oliver Sacks? It's made up of his accounts of particularly interesting cases (that's what doctors call people. businessmen call them consumers. when did we start talking like that?): the man of the title, the woman who lost her body, the lady with a radio in her mind, the autist artist. The last case-person was my inspiration. He was asked to copy a picture of a lake for Dr. Sacks, but instead of drawing the whole scene he picked up only on the boat in the foreground. And he made it his own - he emphasised it and did more. The boat in this picture is like the boat he drew.

It's a good book, you should ask a librarian about it. Librarians can find anything. I think they can know anything, too.

I love your wonky descriptions.

Love the colors here, its frenetic - and yet those rowers down there, despite almost being a meal for a sea-serpent, are quite placid. Love it!

I like this style of yours ^^
I'll have to find that book >_>

Mercy's eyes are blue
When she places them in front of you
Nothing really holds a candle to
The solemn warmth you feel inside of you
