Dec 12: Frozen Moon

There's something in your eyes, there's something I can see.

You've got a dark side no one is allowed to see.

Always lonesome in your eyes, 

the eyes of a lonely child.

I wish there was something I could do.

But all I do is ask the frozen moon to shine where you are

and tell you that  I am here, thinking of you.

Frozen Moon  (by Tona)

I'm really, really late for this one, but still on time. This one, though it is part of this Advent Calendar, has been done to be the cover of a Christmas special and wonderful album. So it's finally done, and it really took me so long to finish this one. 

I'd like to say so many things about it, but I feel that none feels as alright as that little text I've posted before, it's Christmas, it's Winter, the nights are beautifully cold, the stars shine brighter than ever, the cold gets through you and somehow makes you sad, but there are always some little electric lights slightly glimmering through the blue of the night, the blue of your heart, bringing that bit of joy.

Goodnight everyone, happy enchanted 12/12/12.

The last night

I did a little piece of illustration.. I was playing with new brushes and I made up this text after doing the illustration (though I added more details after the text was written) Hope you like this little thing, I don't think it needs much more words, really.

I wanted to make a moment in which you're seeing/living something that's so beautiful but you know that soon it is gonna end, and though you're enjoying that moment the most, you can help but thinking about its ending.

It makes me think of this song by The Field Mice called When You Sleep

The Moonlight

This was not supposed to be named "The Moonlight" but "Claire de Lune" because of Tomita's song, which I'm listening right now. But it happened that when I though of Claire de Lune, I didn't want this, but something a little bit different. And I could not achieve it, not today, but I'll keep on working and trying untill the day I'll be able to post the drawing titled "Claire de Lune".

At any rate, I do like this one for what it is. It's something simple, but I like the idea.


Long time ago when we were studying poetry in school I was told that the moon was seen as a bad symbol. Whenever the moon appeared, something was going wrong. I did not understand that, I actually thought that the teacher would say "the moon means magic, something wonderful and mysterious" but no, it isn't that. So the thing is that I got it all wrong, 'cause I thought, and I still think, that the moon has so much magic with her and love, mystery, even adventures!
I don't know, it's obvious some bad things can happen at night (even the moon has a dark side), that's true, but there are so many other wonderful things happening at night. And so many wonderful landscapes that can be found!

Imagine a lake, at night, with the moon reflected on its pale waters, and there is someone there, looking at those waters as if they were the night sky, and the high trees are all around. Everything seems to be white and blue because of the night and the moonlight, and there is some mysterious magic going on. Why people forget about the magic? It's just so important! magic is all around us. I just wish they could see so.
