“effigy”

Nothing too profound to say about this one. After rejecting the message of this idea in the last post, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. And what a joy to work on it’s been, learning to push myself to do it in awkward gaps of free time now I’m spending my Wednesdays at the beer course. A life option that I didn’t discard despite what this drawing says.

What does it mean that the negative ideas are the most satisfying? Is it cathartic to get them out on paper? Or are the things I want to say about happiness shallow?

Either way, there are a few small technical things I’d change about this, and I wish I’d thought to set the bonsai on fire, but the icing on the cake was unplanned. The blue ripples were a last minute addition and they really bring the whole thing together.

Maybe that’s the profound thought. Keep rolling the dice, and jump when the numbers go your way.
