Went to @martianlukeart.bsky.social Poetry Comics Workshop today and found this old Yeat's poem "Love and the Bird". The line "I sat as silent as a stone" reminded me of Audioslave's "Like a Stone"- so I drew the first line of the song.
"On a cobweb afternoon in a room full of emptiness..." A b/w drawing of Chris Cornell in a dark empty room side lit by a window full of cobwebs. LOVE AND THE BIRD The moments passed as at a play, I had the wisdom love can bring, I had my share of mother wit; And yet for all that I could say, And though I had her praise for it, And she seemed happy as a king, Love's moon was withering away. Believing every word I said I praised her body and her mind, Till pride had made her eyes grow bright, And pleasure made her cheeks grow red, And vanity her footfall light; Yet we, for all that praise, could find Nothing but darkness overhead. I sat as silent as a stone And knew, though she'd not said a word, That even the best of love must die, And had been savagely undone Were it not that love, upon the cry Of a most ridiculous little bird, Threw up in the air his marvellous moon. William Butler Yeats On a cobweb afternoon In a room full of emptiness By a freeway I confess I was lost in the pages Of a book full of death Reading how we'll die alone And if we're good, we'll lay to rest Anywhere we want to go In your house, I long to be Room by room, patiently I'll wait for you there Like a stone I'll wait for you there Alone And on my deathbed I will pray To the gods and the angels Like a pagan to anyone Who will take me to heaven To a place I recall I was there so long ago The sky was bruised The wine was bled And there you led me on In your house, I long to be Room by room, patiently I'll wait for you there Like a stone I'll wait for you there Alone Alone And on I read Until the day was gone And I sat in regret Of all the things I've done For all that I've blessed And all that I've wronged In dreams until my death I will wander on In your house, I long to be Room by room, patiently I'll wait for you there Like a stone I'll wait for you there Alone Alone

bluesky’s open, quote one art to promote yourself!
a watercolor painting of several people on a lake shore. in the foreground, a Black man holding a beer stares pensively into the distance. Back on the beach, five other men stand around, opening cans and idly chatting. In the background, there are tents, drink coolers, and trees.

howdy howdy, bluesky! i’m luke, im a comics artist and printmaker (and sometimes other things)! i love science, mythology, and music, and i am receiving a bfa from MCAD!
a gouache painting of a green bag of lay’s wasabi flavor potato chips, and a painting of an orange. both are on a vibrant yellow background a spread of an accordion book— there is a faded blue image of a tree and power lines. over the image, text reads “most thinks don’t exist until we look at them properly, physics tells us /i once gave myself a mission to find and destroy every picture of myself” the cover of “satan cares about you” by luke mars, a printed chapbook with a picture of a shovel and a chapel in a desert on the cover
