Ghost of You

I've always loved this song, Ghost, from the Indigo Girls.
Here's just one bit of it, (more of the song lyrics are below the image) .....
but I encourage you to download the song and listen to it. It's heartbreaking and beautiful.

Done with COPIC markers. This time I had to work really fast so that I could keep the colors wet and treat it more like watercolor. If you'd like to see the line art alone...

"Unknowing captor
You never know how much you
Pierce my spirit
But I cant touch you
Can you hear it
A cry to be free
Oh Im forever under lock and key
As you pass through me"



Ghost by Indigo Girls

The mississippi's mighty
But it starts in minnesota
At a place that you could walk across
With five steps down
And I guess that's how you started
Like a pinprick to my heart
But at this point you rush right through me
And I start to drown

And there's not enough room
In this world for my pain
Signals cross and love gets lost
And time passed makes it plain
Of all my demon spirits
I need you the most
I'm in love with your ghost

Dark and dangerous like a secret
That gets whispered in a hush
(don't tell a soul)
When I wake the things I dreamt about you
Last night make me blush
(don't tell a soul)
And you kiss me like a lover
Then you sting me like a viper
I go follow to the river
Play your memory like a piper

And I feel it like a sickness
How this love is killing me
Id walk into the fingers
Of your fire willingly
And dance the edge of sanity
Ive never been this close
I'm in love with your ghost

Unknowing captor
You never know how much you
Pierce my spirit
But I cant touch you
Can you hear it
A cry to be free
Oh I'm forever under lock and key
As you pass through me

Now I see your face before me
I would launch a thousand ships
To bring your heart back to my island
As the sand beneath me slips
As I burn up in your presence
And I know now how it feels
To be weakened like achilles
With you always at my heels

This bitter pill I swallow
Is the silence that I keep
It poisons me I cant swim free
The river is too deep
Though I'm baptized by your touch
I am no worse than most
In love with your ghost

I'm only one season in, so I may have just subjected myself to a major spoiler... but the thumbnail drew me in and the picture is just so pretty. ;o; I love the colors in this one!

just don't think about it too hard. :) There are a few twists so it probably won't spoil it for you too bad!

glad you like the colors! I had to think about it a bit!

The finalized color version is amazing. Rose's spirit is beautiful in her longing.

The emotions tug at the heart strings! It's a brilliant piece of art!

I used to fawn over your Danger kitties when I was in high school. I'm so glad I've stumbled upon your journal! It's amazing to see how you've grown as an artist :D

I'm glad you think I've grown since then, its encouraging. never want to stop improving!

Mostly unrelated to the beautiful artwork, but have you seen this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGCx7Gtw5mA

I'm gonna need to see someone cosplay The Doctor as a space cowboy now!

This is just *spellbinding* . . . I love it, especially Rose's compassionate, enthralled expression. Poor Doctor :/

Beautiful, beautiful work.

P.S. This reminds me so much of Duran Duran's "Ordinary World" . . .

I'd forgotten about that song! You're right!

[modmerseygirl.livejournal.com]

I found your journal via the Time and Chips community, and I've just spent lots and lots of time going back and looking at all of your Doctor Who artwork. You are AMAZING! Each piece of art is absolutely breathtaking. :-) I can't wait to see what you'll come up with next!

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

Thankyou SO MUCH! I really appreciate it! :)!

Really, every time I see your artwork, I grin and then either sob or laugh hysterically, depending on what it is.

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

thankyou so much. What I want most is to move people with my art, so I appreciate that.
