For the past week or so I have been in a real deep funk. Won’t go as far as saying depressed but overwhelmed by the feeling of unhappiness. I sketched this out last night about midnight and felt that it was worth throwing up here.
I wanted to capture how I’ve been feeling and this happened to pop out. No preconceived idea of what I was aiming for and was at the will of my subconscious.
As you see in the image, I am gripping onto one of the only things that make me happy, and no matter how hard I squeeze, it still feels like it is slipping away. What IT is, is not important, because it can be anything that brings you any kind of joy. And as you see, without that happiness and that “constant”, I am nothing.
Along with my happiness I myself begin to slip away into the darkness, hoping to meet my happiness at the bottom.

Love this piece mate – it brings to mind Francis Bacons piece Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixtion, the centre figure of which – interestingly enough – was the inspiration for Geigers Alien design, check it out:“http://www.tate.org.uk/servlet/ViewWork?workid=...; Great work mate
