Poor Theta, I put him through so much :\

This sublime work is by  zobobafoo, when she was still on FA.
You can still find her here though: zobobafoozie tumblr
Check it out, she has one of the cutest art styles in existence!

As is quite often the case, this was inspired by a piece of music, this time it's Caravan by Blur, off their Think Tank album.
I consider it one of the best albums of all time, filled with atmospheric, melancholic tracks that comfort the psyche.
Nearly all of the songs evoke some vision in my head, and it's a relief to finally have a concrete version of one of those images that I can share with everyone.
So this is my attempt to convey what I see when listening to that track: endless expanses of desert sand with the spectacular colours of sunset fading into the darkness of the night and the stars.
And a feeling that despite all the good times, the laughter and happiness, we can still feel lost amongst spectacular beauty.

I felt lost recently, I got my first full-time job and I'm not sure it will be the best for me in the long term, even if it felt like the right decision at the time (and up to this point, I still have no definite regrets).
And I have the usual existential problems of being unsure of who I am and what I want to do with my life.
I've been focusing on the short-term as I see it as more knowable and decidable than the long-term but I worry that I'm missing out on something truly amazing in the future for the sake of short-term comfort.
I have faith (but not necessarily confidence) that I'll sort that out eventually, and somehow discover and integrate my long-term plans into my worldview.
In the meantime I'll just have to trust in my decisions, even if I question them.

And at least I have some beautiful art to lighten the days, help guide me and remind me of how I really felt when I look back at this time when I'm older.

I hope you find this work as magnificent as I do, even if you don't go for the whole soul-searching thing
