This is probably the best thing I did in my illustration class. The assignment was to illustrate the history of rock music or a specific genre; I, of course, chose goth rock. How could I go wrong with such a visually stunning genre?

“To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own under- standing of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully.”

— “On Love” by Kahlil Gibran

[artelli]

“Love has something to do with the notion of being seen — the opposite of invisibility. The invisible, the unwitnessed, the unacknowledged, the isolated, the lonely — these are the unloved. Loving attention illuminates the unseen, escorting them from the frontiers of lovelessness into the observed world. To truly see someone — anyone — is an act that acknowledges and forgives our common and imperfect humanity. Love enacts a kind of vigilant perception — whether it is to a partner, a child, a co-worker, a neighbour, a fellow citizen, or any other person one may encounter in this life. Love says softly — I see you. I recognise you. You are human, as am I.”

— Nick Cave, The Red Hand Files Issue #103
