I fear mortality any advice

You only really have one thing in common with everyone else who has ever lived, which is you are alive. You're part of a marching band of billions of people -- homo sapiens and the other variants of our species who added their DNA into the gene pool. So you're afraid of the big thing we all share. They were here, and then they weren't. We are here and one day we won't be here. And whether we fear mortality or regard Death as a comforting friend, we are all travelling down the same road, the one everyone travels.

And that's all the advice I've got.

Gosh it’s huge shame that I cannot seem to finish this drawing I’ve been working on for months all because I cannot figure out how LIGHTING WORKS ON THE BODY (cropped body to the left and above head) … Anyway, here’s the only “completed” portion of the drawing… Yeah it’s Johnny Cage, hope it still looks like him.

DONT COME AT ME WITH ANATOMY, life’s hard without references. I’ll do more studies for sure

Also college has been slowing down my art motivation 😭 I’ll try my best to draw random doodles of the characters I love! Who would you guys like to see though?

“That's what art is meant to be about:

Art is rescuing people from the fear of death,

and the fear of life,

and that's a very thin line,

and it's also a line,

which our society doesn't even accept

is there anymore

-the reinforcement of the idea

of there being a status quo,

and socially acceptable behaviour is the norm,

and I believe the artist is there to question

and to destroy and cut up and reposition and collide any possibility that they see,

in order to try and save people from being dead while they're alive.”

- Genesis P Orridge (1986) - artist, provocateur, founder of avant garde band Throbbing Gristle. Retrospectively renowned as the Godperson of Industrial music.

We are so brief.  A one-day dandelion.  A seedpod skittering across the ice.  We are a feather falling from the wing of a bird.  I don’t know why it is given to us to be so mortal and to feel so much. It is a cruel trick, and glorious.

hi guys

Have I ever mentioned the walten files

[patience-and-prayers]

I’m thankful for Hermes and travel, and I feel him when I drive, or am at the farmers market.

I’m grateful for Apollo and music, philosophy and how he shines through each rhythm and beat in the music I listen to.

I’m appreciative of Artemis and the independence she brings me, strength and the courage that passes through when standing up for what I believe in. The connection with wildlife and instincts, the empowerment I feel from her as a woman, all of it I owe to her.

The Gods look at us worshippers and smile, knowing they are treasured.

The beauty and curse of mortality is we only live once, in just one place and just one time; our lives don't stop because important things are happening to other people, but their lives don't stop for us, either.

my mortality redesign!

his og design!

[thirdity]

People do not want immortality, they simply do not want to die. They want to live... They want to feel the ground beneath their feet, see the clouds overhead, love other people, be with them, and think. Nothing more. Everything that has been said beyond that is a lie. An unconscious lie.
