Description This is the scanned version. Here's to more detail. If you want a correct view of this piece, then listen to Tool A perfect circle or Puscifer in the back.

The thing holding ontomy neck reaching for my necklace is inspired by this song : www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrEP3R…

"Pay no mind what other voices say
They don't care about you
Like I do
Like I do
Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils
See they don't give a fuck about you
Like I do

Just stay with me
Safe and ignorant
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep"

It's all about the creatures inside of me. The one around my neck is the main voice in the back of my mind telling me stuff. Then up in the right corner we have the creepiest voice. He's the faceless, meaning I've no idea what he is.He used to scare me the most.

This work really took over my mind at some point.

There's a crack in my head and from there comes out another screaming person-thing. Two scarred hands are holding on to that. That represents a phase in my life, where I was really craving an escape, but something held on.

I really tried to make this piece about the good and the bad inside of me, but sadly the bad part took over. I had no idea how to picture the good. I tried a little, see the little kid in the front, that represents my art, and my inner child, but.. Even the birds that were also supposed to be a representation of art and it's flight, came out creepy. I just couldn't help myself. I enjoyed drawing these ( at some point a little disturbing ) creepers so much.

"Stay with me
Safe and ignorant
Just stay with me
Hold you and protect you from the other ones
The evil ones
Don't love you son
Go back to sleep"

Well, I think there must be a lot of creepy thoughts and creatures inside of us 'cause we came to a creepy place, and these are really dark times. Maybe we wouldn't be able to survive down here without them. There's a mighty legend saying we're all fallen angels, and I tend to believe in it. So we need all these ghosts and demons inside of us to connect again - to connect with places far beyond, deep below and high above, and I think we're ready now to do things different than before, thin out the woods within to explore new paths leading to the clearings that allow us to see the sun again.
Shall I say anything about the personal aspects of your drawing? No, I won't. You said everything that you wanted us to know before, and who am I to reflect on your life? But I feel the connection with mine, and so it's time to wish you all the best on the center of your days. Happy birthday, Marita!

wow amazing self portrait. the detail is beautiful. um i might be a weirdo for asking this but do you actually hear voices like faceless's in your head? or see things? or is this just metaphorical. my friend hears voices from time to time so im just curious. XD sorry if i totally interpreted it wrong.

Thank you. Voices- I don't know. Probably not the way you'd think.

Super pilt! Mul poleks elu sees nii suure teose lõpetamiseks kannatust.

Tänan. Ausalt öeldes, mul ka mitte. Aga mind motiveeris see, et see oli konkurssi töö ning selle mitte lõpetamine lihtsalt ei olnud üks võimalustest. + siin oli mingi enesele tõestamise teema, et ma olen võimeline üht suurt pilti lõpetama.
