Green Fairy riding on the demon of green madness, making the spirit go louche.
At first I was in doubt whether it belongs here, but there's a fairy. And because it is absinthe fairy, it does not really belong in Loth. I started making this after drinking four glasses of absinthe plus some more neat absinthe from the bottle. I believe that every glass of absinthe must be crowded with phantoms. And they all get into your head when you drink it. And they have to get out somehow. For example, you can put them in a pic.

Hi Helena,
This picture is totally awesome. The color is great and you did a good composition. We like the feary and the demon. You can really feel the absinthe in this picture, spinning and twisting your mind. Great artwork!
Greetings
Jenny and Mathias ^_^

Oh brilliant....I'm utterly surprised there are so few comments on this. It's utterly amazing! (why no, i'm not favouring it because of the absinthe *wink* good stuff that!)

Quite bizarre and totally strange but a great piece of art.

Wow! I'm glad you could throw away the ghosts of absinthe after drinking some! This pic tells everything of it, and Rimbaud or Verlaine mustn't be far...
Beautifully frightening and sad.

:-) Helena Štěpánová replies: "Thanks... Absinthe is a great spirit. There's so much de l'arte in it. I think it's full of Pierrots."

An inspiring drink indeed...I find this the best work in your gallery so far. (I like green and curls 1)

:-) Helena Štěpánová replies: "I think it indeed is one of my best pieces, if not the best one. Thank you for the comment."

Woah, damn you can hold ur alcohol girl if you can drink that much and still be able to hold you pen steady enough to draw something that cool.
Do you know Pablo Picasso, Renoir, Lord Byron, and other famous ppl used to drink that stuff?
tis a very cool representation, it shows the fairy almost out of control, but having a damn good time. Which is the affect alcohol has. Nice 1
(First time i took four very small shots and i then wrote a 4 line poem in a language that nobody could understand, it was some id made up in my head!)
ABSINTHE
"Derth Niket irerna ish
dostennae unglitae miss
malooga naf ziten ya
lak norfa jin gols kiss"
(anyone recognises these words, please get in touch!)

:-) Helena Štěpánová replies: "Thanks for the comment... Hey, I'm not such a good drinker - those four glasses was absinthe mixed with water and I didn't drink that much of the neat stuff... Anyway - that poem is superb. It's really really cool."

It's very fascinating. I like some absinth. And I like GREEN...
The swirls of color and tranquil motion are like the veils of sugarwater when you look to the bottom of your glass...
Fantastic art.

And you have good taste in music.
