Cold Consolation

Description

Every artist has a blue period. I guess that's mine.

Inspired by a beautiful song which evoked a beautiful melancholy in me. Okay, this was supposed to be a portrait of a yet unwritten scene between Jeremy Fisherman and Cocaine of the continuation of my novel "NEVER" (the prequel of which is coming real soon, actually), but I kept adding more and more personal elements to it, and by the time I'd finished my picture it had become so personal and honest I felt that, in the sense of my art being soulstripping, it was the equivalent of getting caught with my pants down. I know, it is far from perfect because I didn't even bother making a sketch with a pencil in advance. But I still feel the feeling.

In a world where sometimes you cannot find an exit even in your own mind, in a world where hearts don't grow back, the cold consolation is that someone else might be lost along your side, and together, you can mutually play the rescuing game. Or, just make sure they never, ever find you.
