rewatched kaiba recently and will probably never get over the simplicity and power of the hole-in-your-chest visual metaphor...

Here is the latest commission I completed! When the King announced that the Princess was marrying a Dragon Prince, the commoners thought it was a metaphor...

Odilon Redon: "My drawings inspire, and are not to be defined. They determine nothing.They place us, as does music, in the ambiguous realm of the undetermined. They are a kind of metaphor."

Ann Gover "is inspired by her travelling in South America, India and Africa, and diverse reading. She aims to reach beyond the figurative into the realms of illusion and metaphor."

Throw back to my master’s thesis on intersectional feminism using religion as a metaphor. It was called Blind Faith. 💕

"We are a little like gods, drawing the infinite power of the sun to sculpt our worlds into the nothingness. Ahaha, I love that metaphor. Yes, like gods..."

It's done!! Had a blast drawing this one! Fan art of the incredible Nichol Williamson as Merlin from Boorman's 1981 fever-dream of a movie "#Excalibur"! The dragon is ever-present in the film but unseen so take it as a metaphor.

Nate seemingly dies in the process, not to return for many years.
It feels like a metaphor. An analog for the 1st/most well-known superhero has infected everyone, and only by exposing them to something new can the infection be broken.

Hey guys- Long Time, No original content! So here's some quick chibis I did of my new and improved sonas. They came from a crisis and they're helping me cope tbh kjsjkha. Their names are Shun and Bhun, and they are a COUPLE (NOT!!! TWINS!!!) [It's a self-love metaphor.]

Day 84/100 the snow stopped and the sun is out. The cold might have killed the peach blossoms, but I know the bees will be back. I have decided to look at it as a metaphor. Steady on, friends. Deep breath

The sub-basement also forms a spatial metaphor. The surface mansion is quaint and genteel. The underground is a paramilitary training ground. This is an apt metaphor for the X-Men’s mission and its combination of gentle optics belying aggressive capability. 5/6

Sometimes it's not a metaphor. Use your words, Aziraphale.

It’s I’m an illustrator creating detailed, vibrant art that aims to explore the beauty in ordinary things; my work often deals with larger socio-political themes through metaphor. Get in touch for commercial, editorial & literary projects! https://t.co/ZwFSbVscGH

MRS. BIDDLEBOX is one of those stories that can be both challenging and satisfying to illustrate because it is fundamentally a metaphor.
The text can be so wonderfully vague that it provides all sorts of options for the illustrator. How exactly do you “hook a ray of sun”?

Lol ok so totally dodgeballed me! "That's me grabbing the bull by the horns.....it's a metaphor......but that actually happened."

Love this! Well done!
