The world and all its burdens so far away.

There was something latent in that dismal sky,

Something reflected in the stranger’s eye

Something whispers on the coming autumn wind;

A storm is looming and the daylight wanes thin.

“Plains Prophet”

6x6 Gouache on Aquabord, made for a solo show next year!

I will guard the peaks as they guard the woods,

Which shield the plains as they roll on forever,

As you wander them endlessly, I will be watching

[thesleepingstag]

I will wait for you in the hereafter,

No matter how long it takes ☆

“And when you admire the last dawn and turn your back,

You’ll find your silent shadow

Was only your distant past”

(Admiring the Last) Dawn

Inspired by the song “Dawn” in Silent Island/Black Hill’s album “Tales of the night forest”. I want to make an illustration for each of their deliciously deep, dark songs 🌘
