oh, that's sad.

Such is the life of a tortured artist. *g*

This is one of the best examinations of Justin as an artist I've read.

Thank you! This was actually inspired by a few lines in a poem that I read, which dealt with art, and I almost immediately associated it with Justin.

Don't you think there's a world, not normal and not fucked-up, for only two of them?
Sad and beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

Well, yes. I do. Because I'm a hopeless romantic. But Justin, the tortured artist, probably doesn't think so.

Thanks so much for reading and taking the time to comment!

This is quite brilliant, and dark. Hope you explore it some more.

Thank you! It is a bit dark, but then again, Justin's paintings usually are dark as well.

Excellent portrayal of Justin's phyche! This comes as close as anything I've read in explaining the difference in Justin before and after.

He doesn't know if it's a nightmare or a fantasy.

This line is stunning in its genius!

Hugs, Cindy

Thank you! I really loved that line as well, and I think it manages to summarize the entire piece, and Justin's fears, very nicely. It surprises me that so little has been written about the evolution of Justin's art throughout the series...

Anyway, thanks for commenting! I always appreciate feedback.

It seems like so much has been focused on what Brian went through that Justin's been lost somewhere. I'd love to hear your thoughts on what he experienced while in the coma and during the time Brian was outside his room looking in. :-)
