Just foolin around before heading to bed. Bedtime should have been...2 hours ago. Oh well.
I am reading a book about alchemy. I haven't gotten very far yet, iI looked at the art before I really started reading. The reproductions of old woodcuts are just beautiful! Some are crappy, but all are charming. I find the alchemical symbols neat so I threw some on here. I am sure it says something about hate and incest. It seems like there was a lot of hate and incest and death and rebirth and on. For example, I just opened to a random page and the caption for the illustration says, "Trapped in the womb: the adept expiring in his putrefying egg, or fetid vessel."
AWESOME

Something about the light head on the dark body really makes this stand out to me. I also love the symbol markings on the tail.
Oh freaking sweet! I think you just hit on the best band name and their subsequent first album title ever.

Most of your stuff is so tightly rendered, I really love how loose this one is! There's so much more energy in it!
