OLD ART

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPLWNM03nps

Take off your head to let me in
so I can understand you
take off your hands so I can feel
if there is anything left inside of you

Remember to smile
while I cut out what's left inside of you
remember to cry to pretend you're alive
while I hide inside of you

Sections of life
reflections of pain
in this mirror we all look the same

This is my new creation :3 Her name is Lotus and she's a doppleganger. Lately, alot of my friends from HS who have gone into art have been getting assignments where they have make self portraits. They've gone on to essentially mutilate these portraits and twist them into whatever story they've been running with for however long, or created new ones, and i really wanted to jump on the wagon since I was inspired <3 <3 <3 In all honesty, she barely resembles me other than blye eyes, round face, shortness, fucked up hair and she's going to have thunder thighs and an imperfect belly.

I haven't come up with too much of a story, and what there is of it isn't too creative, but it's macabre and twisted in a way I looooove. So, to begin with, she'd just an average poverish chick in a universe that has a known flipside where souls/suicides/dopplegangers and whatever else exists and is used as a sourse to gain evidence or justice beyond the usual investigations. This girl goes to -enter random art school here- and is taking several dance classes and performing arts such as expressive, jaz and miming.

There are items of some secret special/retarded powers that allow people from her universe to travel into the flipside (or whatever), but they wander about intangibely, like a phantom. The same is so for the flipside. These items aren't terrible rare, but not terribly prevelent, and thei nature/creation is still a mystery. She stumbled upon one such an item in the theatures costume room, (or whatever), her mask, and daily travels to the flipside because it's so much more intriguing to her than the ennui, drab world she lives in. Lotus ends up falling in love with some person in the flipside universe, though I haven't quite pulled that character out of the hat.

The mask and constant visists to this flipside universe has drug-like effects that ultimately ends up splitting her personality, where on the flipside she's still kind, creative, curious and social, and loses all interest in her home universe, where she's become quiet, sociopathic, and the perfect shuttle for a killers personality.

Lame and still in the works :< Enjoy never the less

I thought I was being all original with the dead birds but now that I think about it, they look like spice finch.
