Figures, fragments and inner landscapes

My colorful interpretation of a beetle I sketched at the Montréal Insectarium, brought to life with Ohuhu markers and colored pencils. 21 × 21 cm Not happy with the masking tape, though. It tore the bottom edge of the paper!

Carry On

The flowers bowed beneath the weather Like they were tired of holding up the sky The birds still sing in crooked sweaters Of yellow light against the gray goodbye Clouds hang low above the avenue Dragging shadows through the afternoon But somewhere underneath the weight A stubborn little heartbeat bloomed Every cracked road knows a destination Every storm runs out of rain Every lost thing leaves a trail of constellations Burning through the dark again Carry on, carry on When the map is torn and the signs are gone Carry on, carry on Like a river carving canyons out of stone When the world gets heavy, carry on The world gets strange The world gets long But you're stronger than the night you're walking on Carry on Carry on An old soul dancing through the static Dragging dreams across the dust Never asked the wind for permission Never begged the road for trust He moved slow enough to hear the seasons Fast enough to leave a mark Building little cathedrals of courage In the quiet corners of the dark Every scar becomes a story Every ending shifts its name And the weight you thought would break you Only taught your bones to stay Carry on, carry on When the map is torn and the signs are gone Carry on, carry on Like a river carving canyons out of stone When the world gets heavy, carry on The world gets strange The world gets long But you're stronger than the night you're walking on Carry on Carry on Maybe hope isn't lightning Maybe it never arrives with a roar Maybe it's a tiny step moving forward An inch more Maybe courage isn't loud Maybe it doesn't know it's brave Maybe it's just waking up tomorrow And taking one more step today Carry on... Through the static and the smoke Carry on... Through the punchline of the joke Carry on... Even bent, even worn Some of the strongest things are weathered before they're reborn Carry on, carry on Let the thunder write its name and move along Carry on, carry on Turn the ache into an anthem you can sing upon The flowers fade The clouds move on But the roots keep reaching where they belong Carry on Carry on And if the sky forgets your name And if the road feels twice as long Be the bird with hope in its chest Like a shadow that chases the dawn Be the reason you keep going on Carry on... Carry on... Carry on... ~SRC Mixed media analog collage with digital edits, ai music and lyrics by S.R.Chappell

Hello Bluesky! I'm Walter. My work moves freely between conceptual art, surrealism, and illustration. From sketches and traditional media to Photoshop and AI, I love exploring where an idea can take me. Here's one little journey from sketch to illustration.

Pencil sketch of a whimsical crowned character with long antennae, a patterned coat, tiny hearts, and a wind-up key.A surreal black-and-white illustration of the same crowned character, standing under a dramatic beam of light, with floating hearts and delicate blue threads.
