Sugared pistachios


Like jordan almonds, only pistachios.

I love drawings that are just a little bit messy, where you can see the under painting or marks that aren't fully erased. I think it's more engaging to the viewer and makes them feel like they're in on some kind of secret. Watching the artist try to break through the illusion of what is not real to create something that looks real.

Breaking through illusion is also at the heart of most spiritual paths. The illusion that we are all separate, forgetting that we are simply a drop from the same infinite ocean. I like the story that tells how God(dess) was lonely and so created humans -the illusion of separation-in order to experience love. And it is through love that we find our way back home. Merry Christmas!
