  • Blinding Horror

    What would be the most horrifying?
    To see this horror creeping toward you, losing your sanity at each of its grotesque transformations?
    Or been blinded by the rays of unholy light it emits, thus avoiding its hideous appearance but unable to locate the thing?
    ***
    Qu’est-ce qui serait le plus horrible selon vous ?
    Voir cette horreur ramper dans votre direction et perdre votre santé mentale à chacune de ses grotesques contorsions ?
    Ou être aveugle par ses rayons de lumière malsaine, protégé de son hideuse apparence mais incapable de savoir où elle se trouve?

  • Burning away

    Everything comes to pass
    Some slowly fading away
    Some brightly burning away
    It’s a matter of scales, lass

    All memories, belongings
    Nothing remains but ashes
    Fire transmute everything,
    As slow as it can be fast.

    ***

    Tout passe, inéluctablement
    Parfois s’effaçant lentement
    Parfois s’embrasant violemment
    Ce n’est qu’une question de temps

    Possessions, souvenirs et richesses
    Rien ne reste que des cendres guère épaisses
    Le feu, terriblement envoûtant.
    Transmute tout dans le brasier du temps

  • The strange tree

    It started as a little scab, a round yellowish growth on the pear tree.
    Mr Thompson tried to remove it but it was so sturdy that the knife ripped and he cut his hand, spilling blood everywhere. Martha had to take him to the doctor to get stitches, and once they get back, the thing has tripled in size.
    The day after, Mr Thompson went to see and it was the size of a melon, translucent and faintly glowing. He tried to poke it with a broom, but it was hard as a rock and won’t bulge an inch.
    This was last week. The thing is now huge and massive, it hangs in the pear tree in violation of all natural laws, defying gravity and common sense. At night, it glows vividly, and you ca see things moving inside. Mr Thompson is scared. He’s finally agreed to call on someone but I’m afraid it is too late.

    C’était au début une petite gale ronde sur le tronc du vieux poirier.
    Mr Thompson essaya de l’enlever mais la lame de son canif glissa sur la petite sphère ambré et lui entailla profondément la main. Il y avait du sang partout, Martha a du l’emmener chez le toubib qui lui mit des points. A leur retour, la gale avait triplée de volume.
    Le lendemain, Mr. Thompson retourna dans le verger pour constater qu’elle avait atteint la taille d’un melon durant la nuit. Il essaya de la déloger à coups de balai, mais elle resta inamovible, aussi solide qu’un roc.
    C’était la semaine dernière. L’abomination a maintenant atteint une taille si gigantesque, si énorme qu’elle défie toutes les lois de la gravité et du sens commun. Cette immense sphère ambrée brille la nuit. En plissant les yeux, on peux voir des choses bouger en dedans. Mr Thompson s’est enfin décidé à appeler de l’aide, mais j’ai peur qu’il soit trop tard.

  • Roaming by night

    It’s the end of my ink cartridge
    So I tried a simple juvenile crow, roaming the night, fluffy ball of feather.

    Caw! caww ! wac !

  • Ink Tree

    Nutrients flowing under the bark
    Minerals broken down in the dark
    Performed underneath the tree
    the miracle of Alchemy !

  • Slayer’s Tom Araya

    I’m more a Metallica fan if I had to chose one of the big four.
    But I like Tom’s look and.. dunno… feels like doing a portrait.
    A very hard challenge for me for I can’t usually remember faces.

  • Lone twisted tree

    Lone tree, twisted, bad proportioned and without coherent background.
    i like the texture, but failed the composition. Need to work harder !
