Fan art: Usagi Yojimbo

Rabbit skull & textures, 4 out of 13 digital experiments.

The artist is a receptacle for the emotions that come from all over the place:

From the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.

Ambition has but one reward for all: A little power, a little transient fame; A grave to rest in, and a fading name!

This last one is my favorite for entirely personal reasons. As my friends know I had a friend called Linda, she died a few years ago. Like me she LOVED animals, and apparently, so did the Linda who was buried here. Someone left a small rabbit toy at the grave, one of those mechanical ones that yip and do headflips. Personally I think those toys are super creepy, and this one is a clincher; the red beady eyes and the dirty, matted fur. It's like there's a demon rabbit watching over this Linda's grave, which makes me feel surprisingly satisfied.
