Transcendence. Pen and ink drawing. by achristopherart

Transcendence. Pen and ink drawing.

There is an idea that torment and suffering can lead to bliss. Something I had in mind while creating this.

Also while drawing this piece I was listening to a lot of Nurse With Wound. A very avant-garde industrial sounding musician that started in the late 70's. I'm not sure if this had any influence on me or not.

> There is an idea that torment and suffering can lead to bliss.

Seems like you might know a thing or two about  that idea from firsthand experience. 

This piece is perfect. There's an organic feel that is reminiscent of wood or tree bark. Then we have the starry-eyed element, more nature. Plus, those lips. What mystique you've captured.

To me, your *Transcendence* brings to mind nature's version of the View Master:

This is quite the response. I do thoroughly enjoy hurting myself, I don't really thing I could call it torment and suffering. 

I don't do this things anymore, in the masochistic sense. The amount of pain it does to others is not worth it.

Do you substitute mental self-hurt for physical self-hurt? That was a very personal question, forgive me if it was too forward, it seemed to come out of nowhere. From where I stand it seems like you've learned to become an expert at channeling your pain into your work. That's why it's so standout, that plus your dedication. Needless to say, I've enjoyed following you here on steemit! :D You are a fascinating specimen, and I mean that in the nicest way.
