I'm so happy I'm not the only one who follows this blog! I've been enjoying these simplistic, yet intense, drawings for about a year now.

Yeah, Fallon, a friend just passed it on to me some months ago and I finally got round to re-posting it. I totally love this stuff. Beautiful. It's a bit like if Maurice Sendak and Edward Gorey teamed up to illustrate Shel Silverstein's take on H. P. Lovecraft.

Sanctified Monsters

'There is a holiness in a whole person or a whole world... The veriest monsters inside us may be sanctified. They were put there by Him who is "Father of Monsters" also. What right have we to cut them out of us? Who are we to edit God? We cut strong things out of ourselves and suppress them, and the rocks and clouds will give birth to them again. We dry up our interior fountains and they gush out again, exteriorly and menacingly. We cannot live without monsters' blood coursing through us. Only to the whole person is life worth living and death worth dying. Here... we must be whole or we must be nothing.'
