“Time’s Ghost.”
I’m posting lots of last year (or the year before)’s work because I’m in the process of producing a prodigious panoply of painted pieces. Sorry for the consonance, it kinda pours out that way sometimes. I blame too many Victorian children’s books. Anyway, this piece is all about the anxiety and perceived loss of time passing. Which I am currently having. Man, it seems like there is never enough time. Time’s Ghost for me is the spectre of things left undone, ambitions not yet realized.
And lest I sound too philosophical, here’s a link to where you can buy the print on etsy! Yay, commerce!

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! From the lovely and talented illustrator of Spartacus and the Circus of Shadows, by Molly E. Johnson.
Sometimes crying or laughing are the only options left, and laughing feels better right now.
