Artist's Comments
My piece for ~Illustrationshare 's contest for "Illustrate a Story". This is taken from the tale of the same title, written by Oscar Wilde.
The plot of this tragic story is that a young man wishes to dance with the love of his life...but she will only dance with him if he gives her a red rose. But it's the dead of winter, so it's impossible. The nightingale, who wants him to be happy and in love, decides to help him find a rose. However, she learns that the only way to make one grow is to pierce her heart on the rose bush's thorn, to make a red rose bloom out of love and blood. She dies, and the young man plucks the rose to give to his lady love. She spurns the gift, which took such a tremendous sacrifice, because it doesn't match her dress. Yeah.  Pens on bristol, with colors in Photoshop 7. This picture was featured in Vanity Fair Italy --> [link] |

"Remember, you're a wreck an accident.
Forget the freak you're just nature.
Keep the gun oiled and the temple clean.
Shit, snort and blaspheme let the heads cool and the engine run because in the end everything we do, is just everything we've done."
