I made this back in November 2022 for an art sale and it was probably the best thing I've done for myself. I've been so busy for the past three years and since the last fully rendered illustration I made.
I experimented a lot with colors and brushes here. I really liked how it came out!

This Is Me Trying
I am far from complete. I am an unfinished manuscript, collecting dust on a forgotten shelf. I am merely half a canvas, splattered paint that is yet to be a masterpiece. And that’s okay with me. Why would I want to be complete? That would mean the world was done with me.
I have not been sculpted to perfection yet, my fine details are still to be sketched. I would not want to rush the process of perfection, I do not wish for my metamorphosis to be instantaneous.
I want the world to take its time with me. Mold my soul with patience and attentiveness, Lead me to walk through darkness when I am convinced there is no light. Teach me lessons that will shape me into the final version of who I am to be.
I care very little for immediate perfection. I know that society is obsessed with getting it right from the start and I am sorry if I come across as self-righteous, but you’re wrong.
To live is to try. Those lessons you see as imperfections, they are the words that fill your manuscripts and the brush strokes that create your masterpiece. Trying is the meaning of life. Because we are human. Humans are not perfect. We are never always right and mistakes are what make us individuals.
Your soul is a constellation of imperfections. Imperfections that resulted from a lifetime of trying.
And maybe perfection is not attainable when we reach our conclusions; not in the way you believe perfection to be. Perfection is when you have learned and absorbed every possible thing that life had to offer you. Perfection is closing your eyes for the final time, accumulating every imperfection you collected over the years. Perfection is having spent a lifetime trying.
This is me being dedicated to trying. Trying to learn from those sweet imperfections I am committed to loving. This is me trying to enjoy the process of my chapters being written. This is me trying to live.

The New S2 Poster Details
Terry's hat and scarf ❤ With an ook pin! ❤
Crowley's old glasses on the statue. The statue itself is the Marly Horses by Guillaume Coustou the Elder.
Aziraphale's bow tie on the floor 👀
The cardboard box - long ago Neil shared on his instagram: Game on! There are mysteries, histories, secrets revealed and Something Too Terrible To Be Revealed on the way. Also a cardboard box.
Three feathers. One white, one blac and one white with a bluish/grey tinge (if it's not a shaddow)?
The angel mug is back 🥰
'The Resurrectionist' matches with skull and crossbones. In the previous poster there was a The Resurrectionist leaflet.
Again the Eccles cakes (already were in the previous poster)
Feather duster with dark gray/black feathers
On this shelf there books also in the previous poster, but at different place 🤔: The Crow Road, Catch-22.
And: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon, from wikj: mystery novel by nritish writer Mark Haddon. Its title refers to an observation by the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes in the 1892 short story The Adventure of Silver Blaze
And: No Woman No Cry: My Life with Bob Marley by Rita Marley a memoir of Bob Marley by wife, Rita.
Also heard the people say that the right one of the Catch-22 they see Gabriel García Márquez on the spine (I can't read it :)).
Lord Jim and Treasure Island have also been identified in the previous poster but now are in a different place 🤔👀.
Three books by Jane Austen: Persuasion, Pride and Prejudice and Emma. We have already seen Pride and Prejudice in the previous poster but it was a different edition so Aziraphale has more than one :).
Candy?
Again geckos! :) 🦎 (there were three in the previous poster)
The Buddy Holly Everyday was also in a different place in the previous poster. And there is a note on it
The Ressurectionist, 66. Goat Gate, Edinburgh 👀.

Queen Shit
Imagine being one of the Kataang shippers who bullied Christine Boylan into deleting all her tweets and unliking all the Zutara fan art and posts publicly, thinking you won… only for her to become the new showrunner two weeks later.
