Still all about the poignancy of ex-Soviet assassins

“This room must have been beautiful once. Now, the walls are encrusted with green damp and trees outside are reflected in a pool of water on the floor.

There’s nothing to do here but drown.”

Chapter 11 of Love Among the Ruins. “Sculpture.”

(I PAINTED WATER! It’s the third painting I have done, and I haven’t painted water before :D )

Steve and urbex aesthetics: Siberian industrial ruin

“To Steve, it’s starting to feel like a kind of a kind of … burial. Choosing to immerse himself in the detritus of the past instead of an unbearable present. Choosing ash and grime and broken things.”

Chapter 10, Love Among the Ruins (Stucky, historical accuracy, eerie psychiatry, angst with happy ending (& happy intervals ;) ) )

Ruin aesthetics

I LOVE the aesthetic of ruin and urban exploration, and I painted this setting based on photography of an ex-Soviet ruined abandoned hospital.

“Bucky glimpses weird grandeur, wide arched corridors with flaking, blue walls. The floors and ceilings are cracked and moldering. Electricity only works in parts of the site, and in some places, the smell of damp and ash and ruin is so thick that it makes him choke.”

Chapter 9, Love Among the Ruins.
