Story Devourer
(District XB4001, Hollywood)

Tell me a story
a jolly good one please

of glass castles that glare
in the sky that baths in grease

of steel beasts that roar

down the paths that never cease

Tell me a story
Six dollars a piece

of knights that fought each other
by comparing their heart decease

of witches that changed into maidens
fat from their thighs transferred to their knees

Tell me a story
and in it you shall dwell~
forever without release

Thought up the verses before i started to think of the pic~ just a speed painting of tonite. a bit on the angry side, but oh well, try driving on the 101 and you will know what i mean.

Update: Unfinished painting from Jeremy's Workshop. If anyone's interested there's another one starting after next week, and there's still one or two slots. i will be there again~ :)

Hey Shelly,

super cool update. Your sketch is just beautiful to me. I love what you do with light and color. Seems like you've fallen in love with a red and green palette lately, have you noticed? Not counting your thunderdome piece though but your last few sketches. You do it real nice, keeping red dominant. This is my favorite life portrait you've done too, they keep looking better. Later!

Fantastic artwork! for some reason I thought of Goya when I saw the top one, a sense of color and brush stroke (in the hands specially... Very nice.
