‘Negativity’, 2011, digital.
People are afraid and thus trying to stay away from any negative emotions. They’re afraid of pain, anger, bitterness, or jealousy. They choose instead to fill their life with more positive things: happiness, good spirit, enthusiasm.
But one cannot stare at the sun for too long without getting blind. To linger and stay forever in positive things is false hope, a fool and dangerous thing to do. They’ll blind you eventually. That’s why we need a little exposure to darkness.
For all I know, negative emotions can also motivate us. You can be disgusted by anger or hostility, or speak about how bitterness brings only bad results, but the fact is, some people motivated by pain and anger to move forward in life. They channeled their aggression towards something constructive, make the most out of it and in the process, transformed themselves into a better person. Some of the greatest creations in life originated from heartbreaks and sickness, from jealousy and revenge. Negativity, taken from another viewpoint, is also a fuel to the engine of life.
Destruction isn’t the ending, it’s a beginning of something.
Sweet plan.

A friend dare me to draw ‘something sweet and girlie’. Challenge accepted :-D
‘The Man Who Sold The World’, 2011, repro from Dave Gibbons’ original art.
Despite his label as villain in Watchmen story, I found that Ozymandias was correct all along.
He worried about human greediness. He worried about war on resources, about nuclear apocalypse, about the scarcity of fuel energy: basically the same worries we had today.
I agree on his idea of centralized energy sources run by one giant corporation. Yea, sounds a bit dictator-ish, but, hey leave everything to the smartest guy on the planet. Given enough time, I think Veidt was able to sort all human problems.
‘Lovers At The End of The World’, 2011
My kind of romantic scene would involve a couple running around in a city destroyed by giant T-Rex. With devilish horn.
“There is no future. There is no past. Do you see? Time is simultaneous, an intricately structured jewel that humans insist on viewing one edge at a time, when the whole design is visible in every facet.” — Dr. Manhattan, Watchmen

Snape is one of the most tragic character ever written, kudos to Rowling for her bold writing and characterization :-)
