Description
DREW SOME MORE DROWNING PEOPLEThere is some symbolic significance to this but I'm not sure if anyone will get it.
Also. I'm sorry for raping your eyes with this color scheme
EDIT: Okay, I think the concept just died in translation or something because nobody is getting it. I'll just put it up here. :'D
It's about people who kill themselves because they think it will help others, hence the living fish coming out of his mouth while he drowns. Sort of like this guy I met once who wanted to kill himself and everyone else because he believed the human race was wasteful and sick, or suicide bombers who think that their death will serve their country or their religion, or people who just feel so worthless that they think the world would be better off without them.

It's so pretty that I am ashamed of myself that I can think death is so beautiful.

So gorgeous, especially the fish.
No matter what, there is always something to look foreword to, even if its just a little thing. Its a shame people sometimes feel this way.

Sorry, that is not a comment on your artwork, except as it made me think.
Hmm, ok, that is a positive comment on your artwork. It made me think.

I read once that one of the more constant traits of insane people is that they both feel unable to affect those around them and simultaneously or in rapid succession vastly more powerful than any one person is able to be. Such as a suicide deciding one persons death will save the envirement.
I don't know if that says more about the narrow definition of normality or the selfishness of the usual tragic hero.

Wait, does that mean that my paint is having consensual sex with your eyeballs

Yes. With your paintings, it's always consensual.

I just realized. We only have two conversations going right now and they both involve weird sex analogies.

Magnificent. Quite meaningful to me; I tried to try to drown myself. I obviously failed at the trying of the trying. At least I get to see your wonderful artwork.

Oh god I'm sorry. I hope you don't want to drown yourself anymore.
And thanks.

Looks pretty epic in reverse-color too.
And I also fail to catch the symbolism.

The goldfish are really nice...well the whole thing is really nice, haha. The color scheme seems to be working nicely though.

This is very different from everything else I've seen from you. I really do actually like the color scheme you dont seem to proud of, though the hair is a bit weird when compared to the rest. How many pieces of music have you mutilated so far?

Will you tell us, for those like me who fail to get it?

Okay. I think the concept sort of died, because nobody else is getting it either. :'D
It's about when people kill themselves because they think it will help others, hence the fish coming out of his mouth and being able to live while he drowns. It's sort of like this guy I met once who wanted to kill himself and everyone else because he knew how wasteful humans are, or suicide bombers who think that their death will serve their country or their religion, or people who just feel so worthless that they think the world would be better off without them.
Sorry for my morbid-ness.

Never apologize for morbid-ness if it's well thought out (like here).
But not, it did not come across at all.

Is that any music from something I would know? The music you cut out, that is...

This is probably one of my favorites of yours. Your ability to control watercolor and the same time let it run free always amazes me.

I actually rather like the color scheme, with the complementary blues and oranges...it isn't raping my eyes

uhhhhh.... Thinking.....
I'm sorry.
I'm kind of slow at some things....
All I'm getting is someone seeing above water but dying slowly.
Oh, and jumping fish. Pretty much they're all dying.
I do like the color scheme. Really. I like lots of colors.
And his hair
And gorgie bushie wushie.
how do you do that?

Thank you :^D
Nobody else is getting the concept either, so I think it just sort of died in translation or something. It's about people who kill themselves because they think it will benefit others, like suicide bombers who want to serve their country, or people who feel so worthless they think the world would be better off without them, or this guy I met once who wanted to kill everybody (including himself) because he knew how wasteful humans are. It's a little bit dark, sorry.

I am so in love with the hair on this guy. You just wanna run your hands through it. And I think the expression works really well.
