I worship the flesh
that decays below me,
ripening to perfection.
I praise the sun blessing my wings
and the drafts that support this effortless round,
this waiting, this prayer.
When the feast is ready,
I descend to feed.
Each beakful of meat unmakes what is,
releasing energy for what shall be.
With my humble plumage and bowed, bald head,
I could be a friar, carrying out the very last rites.

Thanks to all for the great feedback I've been getting lately :) I've been in a bit of a slump lately and it's nice to know there's someone actually looking forward to see what I'm doing. Makes me want to make stuff! So hopefully I will be doing more drawing/painting this week.
Wanted to share a few links with y'all...

I'm also looking for bloggers who'd like to review it in exchange for a free e-book.
Thanks!
I'll draw/paint whatever you want (assuming I'm physically capable and you like how it looks) and you'll pay for whatever materials I need and some sort of hourly fee. I'm thinking of using a sliding scale for the hourly rate from $5 to $10 but we can also just set a price arbitrarily based on what we think it's worth and what you can afford.
Drop me a line and we'll chat if you like: reddvenus AT gmail DOT com.

Your gallery is awesome! So many works with so many wonderful and sometimes very deep thoughts. Your art seems very unfiltered and honest, I like it a lot
