Finally, a new entry and a new picture. I had a very stressful and, thus, sady uncreative year so far, but I feel the creative juices gathering in me once again, badly yearning to come out. Sadly, depression is a sickness that often kills all the energy to follow those impulses, so they stay hidden, waiting, sometimes rotting... you are not really able to do what you really wanna do then and everyone who knows that sickness also knows what I'm talking about.

Greetings to you all out there.

There are some things that kept me going and open though and one of those things or, better said, persons is Neil Gaiman. With him, I always have the feeling that he's very familiar with the darker places of the soul but still keeps with himself the playfulness and the inner child that is so essential to the artistic person.
Thank you Neil!

So, the first pic I did, after the long dry empty way of lack of energy is a tribute to his literary self, the Sandman AKA Lord of Dreams AKA Morpheus.
