Description The nature of mankind is as wind on rocks, slowly wearing down over time what seems unbreakable...
and through the movements of the few, over and over again over millions of years,
the whole mountain could come down, irreparably and permanently,
destroying everything in it's path as it goes.
remember your heritage, mankind.
remember what you are; here and now, and how your actions have reverberations throughout history.

This is the line art stage, drawn in fine liner pens - finished in it's own right, but will be coloured when I get round to it.
original will be for sale once I colour it.

i would were it that easy :-S Im sure to be back on regular - ish form soon. I was initially planning to be out of it entirely until around my birthday, then upload a load of new images again like when I first came here.

I have finished another since (the huge crystal in the cave) and am working on another already..

but im trying to think more for myself again. something about the way my mind works, I try to take advice literally and its bad for me. I tried to answer every message but im getting more everyday. I figure its about high time I began acting like an artist.

I need to remember why I enjoyed drawing in the first place.... and I got just the remedy coming up, something planned and booked and I will tell about it when I have photos to go with the tales

much love my friend, be back soon. give hugs to all your friends from me

Oh I haven't quite gotten over the photographer 's block lol So I got no plans to upload or may be.. I don't know. But I am glad you keep busy ! And of course, it would be nice to see what you have been working. As for me, I would not give you any suggestion/advice or input, really ... I love your art as it comes (:  and soon I"ll go browsing for new stuff that may have escaped my radar, so I will surface here and there in some of your stuff (:   ~ Please, do tell me with a Note when your stuff is up, I don't check my art inbox as often because it has become very daunting experience lol, i'm sure you know all about it ~ Much love as well !  I'll be somehwere around !

yup, keeping busy is my middle name these days... I never know if I am coming or going lol

I have uploaded a few new pieces, will briefly note you bout it if that helps

and totally, the messages system here is lunacy. its like trying to answer fan-mail but without the added bonus of being famous :S

thank yeah I guess so strange being famous AND poor lol

its one of those things that could only happen in the 21st century XD

im sure eventually I will wind up with something to show for all the hard slog,

 but of course, enjoying drawing is the main point.

I like this one idea and how you have drawn it. 

What do you think about collaboration? I think I can try to colour it.

simonpark81 In reply to Solitae [2013-08-27 16:49:32 +0000 UTC]

i'm currently halfway through colouring this... but I can send you the file if you fancy colouring it.

 as always, I would love to see your unique approach to my vision.

 a shared vision is always something special and unique.

if only one day we could really create a picture together.. like, sat together and drawing together. the internet is wonderful but I already feel like I know you. if only I could call round and be a nuisance XD

Solitae In reply to simonpark81 [2013-08-28 09:26:32 +0000 UTC]

Hm... I think it can be good experience to me to colour something in glass without special programmes. These days I'm working with photos and I need too many time for learning maths... simple maths, analytic maths, discrete maths, informatics, programming... My studies starts in October-November and I need to know everything before that XD  But I want to draw when I have free time. Our first collaboration have shown me I can do better than I thought and I don't want to stop working on


Yeah... It would be wonderful! I know, after five-seven years when me and Serge will have our own house and enough money for travelling, we can travel to England for some time.. maybe couple of weeks or evenly month. It's very hard for ukrainians to get visa to England (England Council don't like us...) but I hope everything will be okay. Evenly if we will not live in Ukraine, I hope we will meet each other one day anyhow. And of course we will draw something fun together! I like the game when you start to draw something than another person continue your image with his/her thoughts and at the end you can see stars in the ocean with fishes and new-year-tree on the moon

Remember Mankind...  We are the passing of dust in the wind...  The kiss of the breeze over the Mother's skin...  The smile in a dream...  The fear in the corner of a darkened room...  

We are unlimited potential in small squishy packages.

after all, we are the cockroaches living within the great hotel room of the universe.

it seems only fair once in a while we are reminded , in the grand scheme of things... that we are pretty much the plankton in the universal ocean.... which is ...in itself, beautiful and lovely to experience.... ah, what a world we live in.#

life is such a treacherous and funny game.

nature will always win, we are simply amoebas floating in the blood of god
