Backstabbers
Backstabbee………

Nameless and faceless they come out of the shadows,
Stab you to death when you’re not knowing.
To your face they are friends but from behind something crueller than an enemy
Monsters of their own lives… nothing satisfies.
Sticks and stones may break bones but the words they say destroy us.
Someone you trusted or never knew could be doing this to you.

I have had a lot of silly drama go on with my friends, strangers and myself of late but the whole concept of this kind of human behaviour is so fascinating that I felt compelled to draw a piece inspired by it :)
For myself im just over the petty –high school games- and I don’t let it get to me :) as you get older things seem to matter less… and –real- stuff matters more.
… I find the whole backstabbing thing to be really petty and weak… not many people have the confidence to say anything to your face… but everyone loves to tell people how it is when your back is turned.
It’s easier to remain faceless and nameless while you smack away into someone’s back with a jiggered aggressive blade… easier and safer than stirring up the drama that would come your way if you were straight, not that they have the spine for it.

I picture people who sit alone saying nasty things about others all day everyday, look at themselves on a high priestess chair… like royalty being the one in control of their own lives – an illusion though it may be- as they bicker and snitch about every single person around them, they never have anything nice to say.
I guess it makes people feel better when they act this way… makes their own lives seem less petty and in less disarray.

But when you find out what’s being said… the truth can be a crushing claw or a mark to branch out and leave rotten fruit to lay.
Sometimes its nice to find peoples true colours… then you can be rid of them and continue your life without the hassles, without the drama and without the doom and gloom that some people bring day after day… the kind of people that in reality hate themselves and simply say nasty things about everyone else to compensate.

See ya later sad kids… I’m done, though its always amusing!

Your style is as original as it gets, you give me so much inspiration. I think everyone can relate to this theme & your portrayal of this concept is visually arresting. I love how the eyes of the backstabber are covered up, which adds to the impression of cowardice, further displaying the inability to face the person they are trashing.

Such a poignant piece and depicts what you want to show is such style and flair. You do show your fascination with backstabbing behaviour through the colours you use, but you don't use too much vibrant colours as to detract from the negative impact it can have. I do love the cut marks on the backstabber and the hate tattoo to represent the self loathing.

You don't need sex, the Government screws you everyday.
If you're one of the 1% that's asexual, high five!

Silence is the enemy
Against your urgency
