@queenofmemes80 brilliantly captured the very tragic cautionary tale that is Meghan Markle

Are you tired of ordinary disasters that don't come with a personal PR twist?

Are you looking for someone to ELEVATE your tragedy into the spotlight of self promotion?

Meghan Markle is here to invade your personal space and turn your heartbreak into (her) headlines

It's not just disaster relief, it's disaster chic

“Olatunde depicts lions - an uncommon motif in Yoruba art-in his panels and freestanding sculptures. The artist probably appropriated the motif from British colonial heraldic images and from sculptures found on Afro-Brazilian style architecture introduced to Yoruba land by returning freed slaves.”

Song- Wildflower (Billie Eilish)

Love is easy.

I met you when I was young and I knew you your whole life. I knew you when I started to become aware of the world, I knew you when I started to understand a perfect family is a myth, I knew you when I started to differentiate what love was and wasn't.

I knew you when our team won the basketball game, I knew you when you broke down in tears when your pet fish died.

I knew you when the wind blew your hair, as you stuck your head put the window- worried me, I couldn't dare look away- but I saw the vast blue behind you, blurry and endless as the car tried to reach it's end. I knew the contentment on your face, eyes fluttered close.

I knew you. I knew you I knew you.

I knew you when you started to fall for me too. I knew you when you made aware that I had always loved you, because there was no one else l'd ever watch. Maybe that is why love was easy.

But now love is hard. You've gone away from sight, from my life, from this world and I still have all this love to give you.

What do I do with all this love?

This animation wasn't on my list of project but just because I love angst and drama, I animated it.

I was able to work a little lighting on it which I had never done before so I am quite proud of it. I still got more animations coming before the end of the year so stick around.
