Grim Tales-From the Dead

Rough hand-drawn sketches of two women, sketches are overlapping as if the artist was practicing.

You shouldn’t go to bed angry with someone you love, and you certainly shouldn’t tell them you’ll never speak to them again. Especially when they are so desperately in love with you that they’d come back from anywhere, even the dead, to say they love you one more time.… Read More Grim Tales-From the Dead

A series of moons at various stages in the moon cycle with a starry background, all with a woman's face superimposed.
