I redid the animation on the falling piece, just to see what I could do. Also in 1080.

A haiku about waking up early:

No no no no no

No no no no no no no

No no no okay

just added a filter to another picture i took! this is one of many but had to choose my fave :P

Would you take it with gratitude? Or decline with deep suspicion? 

If you do suspect anything, which of the two would it be?

The Black Apple, or the one offering?

...........

"It's a black apple, surely there must be something wrong with that."

"It is a black apple, that's only a colour. Like your red apples and green apples."

"Yes, but what if it is THE Black Apple!"

"Even if it is, The Black Apple, what do you know about it? Maybe we should be thinking about the hand offering it to us, nothing is free these days."

............

I'm not much of a writer or a story teller. But I thought I'd give it a jab to accompany my illustration! 
I hope this short story can either serve itself well, or be a starter for anyone else who can expand this story or inspired to do a different narrative, go for it! =D

............

What I really wanted to touch on though, were topics of, our trust and our judgement; whether it's by logic and reasoning, or our gut instincts. Our preconceptions on what we think we know, before we really know anything about it. 

As a society, have we grown to be on our guard more than ever? Even on those who are really showing kindness and good heartedness? At which point do you let your guard down? What's the worst that could happen? Right? Unfortunately there are times where the intentions of others are good, but their actions sometimes turn out negative, or bring on bad consequences.

Much love Annabel x 

*Note!* There's a tiny little scuff at the bottom of the image which I didn't see whilst editing (so bad, so sorry!) Be sure to edited that out if you REmix this. 

It's just a quick song. And it's about people. Lots of people. And other things... maybe RE: The Road...

I left this intentionally bare because I wanted people to add as much as they could to it. So more vocals, more instruments, solo instrument section, anything! Stems up soon enough.

Lyrics

People on form, people on time,

People magically on top of their shit,

People changing and I know for one I'll be a son of a gun if I don't change one bit to get where I end up,

People folding, people without an apetite,

People exiting things without saving them prior,

People know I'm not one for a show but I can't help but aim a bit higher,

I was told I should prepare for the best of days and best of days I'll get,

Can I be a fighter and a runner?

I'm not one of those gambling men, but I'm my safest bet, and I quite like roulette,

People don't show, people loco,

Why'd he run from the bun 'cause he's bored of the oven,

I can't stand people raising their hand as they tell me there's no such thing as lovin', they're just being stubborn,

I was told I shouldn't mind if they hammer at my head,

That's just the order we are placed in,

What else could I do but fight my own way through instead, to make some real good bread,

Hurry there's no time for wastin',

There are doctors, there are nurses,

There are killers and coppers and warriors even now,

You can think that you're fine then you blink and you're old and you've lost all your money,

And no one is talking and reading gets harder but you know the truth still,

People are people,

You know the truth still, people are people,

You know the truth still, weak and their feeble, people are people.
