"Imagination is the greatest of man's single working powers - and the trickiest; as the intellect is the frailest, the most subject to derangement, the the most given to cowardice and betrayal, unless it be held steady and sane by the power of Instinct." - Louis Sullivan (also my hero!)

Mad Girl's Love Song
"I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)
The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)
God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan's men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)
I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)"
- Sylvia Plath
Who I'd like to meet: I would especially like to meet: Terry Gilliam!!! If you know how to put me in contact...well, let me know.

You should seriously make your own tarot deck. I went through your paintings and I found a bunch that already look like tarot cards! haha
Death and the Maiden can be your Death card obviously, The Red Queen could be your ace of swords, The ecstasy of Madam Dolorosa could be your 2 of swords, The passion of lovers could obviously again be the lovers card, The teachings of Lilith could be your moon card, The happy whore of Babylon could be The Tower, The Devil is in the details could be your devil card, and the Perilous compassion of the honey queen could be your 7 of swords :D
Yes, I do not have any time on my hands. haha
But there are places you can have your own deck made, you send them the cards you've designed and they'll print them really nice for you :)
YOU SHOULD DO IT! haha I want a new deck! lol
OO! you could even collaborate with other surreal artists to make a deck! haha Come on, don't let all my investigating go to waste! haha
Or you could just make your own oracle deck, with each card meaning whatever you meant for the painting to say. Like if they draw a card with The supposedly shared sorrow of Magdalene and the crocodile it could mean something like "Someone in your life is trying to deceive you. Faking empathy" things like that.
hello. welcome
