I drew this today in oil pastels and it really bothered me for a while. It started when sitting through an art history lecture earlier this morning. The only thought that passed through my head while looking at early photography was 'all of those people are dead now'; from there I started to think of my own mortality which was unusually jarring for some reason... I drew this and just stared at it; it really horrified me. The thought that we'll all look like that some day... Quite a sobering experience.
Wow, this really reflects my mood right now... Not in a gristly, gothic way... I'm just not in a great state of mind at the moment. Would +fav, but it won't let me... don't worry I'll figure it out!

All of your sorrow, grief and pain
Locked away in the forests of the night
Your secret heart belongs to the world
Of the things that sigh in the dark
Or the things that cry in the dark...

Really well executed picture. It kind of manages to have several expressions at once- gaping up in horror, while eyes look sad, and an apparant inbreath.
I was browsing through the deviations passing the time in "read only" mode...eh...and this really caught my eye.....so much emotion...it really conveys the anguish..
Well, actually the figure depicted is that of someone dead (in funeral attire and all), not the grim reaper. I almost titled the piece 'coffin' or something like that, but thought just 'death' was more to the point about my anxiety over the whole thing. I guess you could say it's a self portrait in a way.
I really like this. At first it reminded me of Francis Bacon but thinking about it it has very little in common. Bacon was all about the violence of forces in motion but this is decay. Anyway, what I like so much about this is there's no conspicuous gore, it's like a white collar businessman whose life has just been extinguished and now he's decaying but it's not his body that's decaying, it's his identity and how he thought of himself that coming down. Plus I love the coldness of the bluish hues.
A collection of the most beautiful and amazing square photographs I found among my favourites. Please have a look and give these artists the attention they deserve!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
