It's so simple yet very captivating.
Fantastic work

I really cannot understand why people choose to ignore the "ART" part of deviantART
It's in fucking capitals!
How can you miss it!?

A concept so simple can be most thought-provoking and emotional. Paper mache?

Good thing you posted this here because I saw it on Lj & wanted to post, but you removed the comment part so I am posting to you about it here.

I will omit the personal part you wrote about on Lj because I don't know how personal that is to you & since DA is public I will just give you my critique as an Artist.

I find it beautiful in fact it reminds me of Scarlings 'Band-aid covers the bullet hole' song. But the hole that is pierced through the heart is something that makes me feel uneasy. For artistic merit it is a grand piece but since I know it has to with personal things to you then it does shatter my heart a bit.

If it was not a personal piece then I would say otherwise. I've always felt that I have a bleeding heart.....I want a heart that no longer bleeds. As you know I've dealt with being sick just about my entire life & many that don't go through such an experience have no clue of how one sometimes feels inside. I know deep down inside that I will be cured completely one day I have never given up hope or faith on that, including Hil I have never given up hope or faith that she will also be cured.

I love the elements of colors used on the bust the ivory white looks like the color on elephant tusks & the black blood around the heart would remind me of a blackened heart. The colors & shades used for the heart were chosen extremely well. & the pierced heart also reminds me of Dracula, *sigh* when will I learn not to refer something to Dracula? I hope you are well. & of course I will add that I absolutely love this piece. Sorry that this comment post is so long.

Scarlings 'Band-aid covers the bullet hole! I adore that album. Truth be told I have always had an obsession with hearts and now I feel as though I can't view them in the same fascinated awe-like way. In light of all I have witnessed.I am sure you have had similar things happen to you while dealing with your illness. Since this was the last time I was going to use one in artwork, I was more meticulous than ever. Thank you so much for the kind and detailed and realized critique.I always look forward to your words.

I got into Scarling because it was the 2nd band Jessicka Fodera formed after Jack Off Jill. Though it's quite different from JOJ I still love Scarling. That album rules, I love Baby Dracula & Crispin Glover.

A heart is very special in all sorts of forms, I to have had a fascination with them since I was a child. I used refer to my heart as a bleeding heart but my heart no longer bleeds because it belongs to Miguel. In some sense I still have a bleeding heart which is why I still refer to mine as that. But I understand what your going through maybe you should think of a heart as a living breathing being & cherish every good memory you have of it even the bad one's for sometimes, good times come from passing bad times. I hope that I make sense the stupid medication that I'm on makes me ramble a lot & repeat things & sometimes makes me sound incoherent.

If you feel that this should be your last peice with a heart in it then so be it. I will e-mail Hil with something that could possibly help your situation.

Your welcome, I hope that this note finds you well.
