Artist's Comments

watercolour, prismacolour marker, sharpie marker, pigment liner, and pen and ink on 150 lb cold press watercolour paper.
_____________________________________

Inspired by *Fealasy and a few of her political inspired pieces, I decided to make a piece commenting on this article - [link] which I found one day while reading /. I have to say - regardless of your religious views - it's simply moronic to destroy a planet that we have to live on. It's not like there's anywhere else to go, you know? Furthermore, the concept of destroying the planet to bring about the second coming is quite frankly - delusional. If I was a loving God who gave my children a planet and gave them dominion - I'd be damn pissed that they destroyed it. No parent wants their children to destroy their gifts. But I'm not God - I'm a just another heathen who sees the manefestation of what she considers to be deity being destroyed before her eyes. They're drilling in our artic refuge. They're cancelling recycling funds. They're killing the earth I call mother. And being neither a great politician nor a soldier - this is all I can do about it. Perhaps enough people will see this and understand how wrong destroying our only home is. Perhaps one or two more people will become more considerate of our environment.

This drawing is so poignant in so many ways, especially the smiles on what seems to be the walking dead. The words floating into the air are particularly intriguing. The Rape before the Rapture by =girl-withagun says so much about the world we live in today and has been beautifully portrayed. (Suggested by *digitalgrace and Featured by `oedalis)

well i mean i agree but eveyone does something to destroy the planet. whether they mean to or not. I also found out that everyone causes at least 8 deaths in their lifetime inadvertantly...interesting isn't it?----
...
is that woman in her period? Ha. just kidding. Really, it's a great picture. very symbolic.

Yes - we do. But there is a large difference between each of us being destructive by negligence and political policies being made that deliberately destroy the planet. Clear cutting of forests by corporations is much more damaging than you or I forgetting to recycle. And honestly - it doesn't matter who is doing it. What are we going to do if we destroy this place? Die? The eight deaths thing is really interesting.

No - the blood is the blood of a rape victim - as the woman is a symbol for the planet - and how we are raping her. Thank you.

Please won't you play in a busy street"

I agree as well... It seems pointless to go explore Mars and everything. I guess it's part of the world's whole "take over" plan starting from waaaaaaay back... It's sad, really.
