Leach. Print

Inspired by the feeling of betrayal and disrespect of a previous lover. I never really microdose LSD but the day I was working on this piece I did for some weird reason. I'm generally kind and respectful to everyone and this day was the first time i had to completely block someone out of my life, I had never had to do anything like this before, especially with someone I really cared for. I was drawing this piece about a month or 2 after we had broken up and I got a text from her, it was a real bummer, it really messed with my day, I was having a great day before she reached out.  I felt like she was draining all the positivity out of me and I texted her back to not text me anymore. She then started to call me nonstop, so I had to block her and she somehow kept calling me even though I had blocked her. All of this was happening during my first ever microdose on acid lol, I think I've done only once after this haha. It was so annoying and draining, I felt like she was a leach or a parasite. The title is inspired by a song by The Doors. Remember that for not wanting to hurt somebody else you end up hurting yourself so much more. Listen to your gut and trust yourself, you are created by infinite power of the universe and your body is wise.  It took me a while to realize that she wasn't a devil woman though, months to realize she was actually an angel, I have another piece about that transmutation of energy.  The original piece is 10 x 10 Inches made with graphite on canvas.
