About The Artwork

Tom Creo: All these years, all these memories, there was you. You pull me through time. Grand Inquisitor Silecio: Our bodies are prisons for our souls. Our skin and blood, the iron bars of confinement. But fear not. All flesh decays. Death turns all to ash. And thus, death frees every soul. You, the condemned, you have confessed. You admit to protecting a queen who twists the word of God and drowns all Spain in sin. Your queen seeks immortality on Earth. A false paradise. This is heresy. She leads you towards vanity away from the Spirit. But this is foolishness for death exists. The Day of Judgment is irrefutable. All life must be judged. But fear not. She will not be in hell alone. I will make sure her servants are waiting. Tom Creo: Death is a disease, it's like any other. And there's a cure. A cure - and I will find it. [first title card]: Therefore, the Lord God banished Adam and Eve from the garden of Eden and placed a flaming sword to protect the tree of life. - Genesis 3:24 Tom Creo: There's been progress at work... Izzi: [laughs] My conquistador! Always conquering… 
 Isabel: For every shadow, no matter how deep, is threatened by morning light. Tomas Verde: I'm sorry father, for you there is only death. But our destiny is life! Tom Creo: All right, I trust you. Take me. Show me. Izzi: [as a vision of Izzi in 2500] Finish it. Tom Creo: Stop... Stop it! [he rises from beside the tree and marches to her] Tom Creo: What do you want? Leave me, leave me alone! Please, please... It's not my... [kneels and breaks into sobs] Izzi: [she touches his head with a robed arm; he looks up and sees Queen Isabella, smiles, and stands] Will you deliver Spain from bondage? Tom Creo: I don't know... I'm trying, trying... I don't know how. Izzi: You do. You will. [cut to Tom, then cut to Izzi] Izzi: You do... You will. [assorted silent flashbacks; Izzi's voiceover: "I'm not afraid anymore, Tommy."] Tom Creo: I'm going to die. [Izzi smiles] Tom Creo: I'm going to die! [he smiles, laughing] Izzi: Together we will live forever. [sheds a tear] Tom Creo: Forever. [smiling] Izzi: [as Queen Isabella] Forever. Tom Creo: [walks back to the tree] Forever. [looks at it] Tom Creo: We will live forever. Izzi: [as Izzi] Finish it. Tom Creo: OK. Tom Creo: Through that last dark cloud is a dying star. And soon enough, Xibalbia will die. And when it explodes, it will be reborn. You will bloom... Tom Creo: [reserverdly bitter] and I will live. 
 Tomas Verde: There's no hope for us here, there is only death.
 
 [last lines] Tom Creo: I finished it. Izzi: Is everything all right? Tom Creo: Yes. Everything's all right. 
 from ‘The Fountain’ (2006) Starring Rachel Weisz (Fred Claus), Mark Margolis ("Yes Satan."), Tuna (Remember the Titans), Cliff Curtis ("Prescription: two hours in the Earth Room. And get a haircut."), Sean Patrick Thomas (Quaid’s Not Another Teen Movie), Ellen Burstyn (The Exorcist), Hollis Mason (Wood’s Come to Daddy), and 'I’m WOLVERINE!’ ("If you understand an obsession, then you know you won't change my mind."). Written by Darren Aronofsky (Ed’s Mother!) and Ari Handel (Hermione’s Noah). Directed by Darren Aronofsky (π). 
 
 The Fountain is a 2006 American epic magical realism romantic drama film written and directed by Darren Aronofsky and starring Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz. Blending elements of fantasy, history, spirituality, and science fiction, the film consists of three storylines involving immortality and the resulting loves lost, and one man's pursuit of avoiding this fate in this life or beyond it. Jackman and Weisz play sets of characters bonded by love across time and space: a conquistador and his ill-fated queen, a modern-day scientist and his cancer-stricken wife, and a traveler immersed in a universal journey alongside aspects of his lost love. The storylines—interwoven with use of match cuts and recurring visual motifs—reflect the themes and interplay of love and mortality. Aronofsky originally planned to direct The Fountain on a $70 million budget with Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett in the lead roles, but Pitt's withdrawal and cost overruns led Warner Bros. to shut down his production. The director rewrote the script to be sparser, and was able to resurrect the film with a $35 million budget with Jackman and Weisz in the lead roles. Production mainly took place on a sound stage in Montreal, Quebec, and the director used macro photography to create key visual effects for The Fountain at a low cost. The film was released theatrically in the United States and Canada on November 22, 2006. It grossed $10,144,010 in the United States and Canada and $5,761,344 in other territories for a worldwide total of $15,978,422. Critics' reactions to the film were divided, but it has gained a cult following since its release.

I’m (I am?) a self-taught artist, originally from the north suburbs of Chicago (also known as John Hughes' America). Born in 1984, I started painting in 2017 and began to take it somewhat seriously in 2019. I currently reside in rural Montana and live a secluded life with my three dogs - Pebbles (a.k.a. Jaws, Brandy, Fang), Bam Bam (a.k.a. Scrat, Dinki-Di, Trash Panda, Dug), and Mystique (a.k.a. Lady), and five cats - Burglekutt (a.k.a. Ghostmouse Makah), Vohnkar! (a.k.a. Storm Shadow, Grogu), Falkor (a.k.a. Moro, The Mummy's Kryptonite, Wendigo, BFC), Nibbler (a.k.a. Cobblepot), and Meegosh (a.k.a. Lenny). Part of the preface to the 'Complete Works of Emily Dickinson helps sum me up as a person and an artist: "The verses of Emily Dickinson belong emphatically to what Emerson long since called ‘the Poetry of the Portfolio,’ something produced absolutely without the thought of publication, and solely by way of expression of the writer's own mind. Such verse must inevitably forfeit whatever advantage lies in the discipline of public criticism and the enforced conformity to accepted ways. On the other hand, it may often gain something through the habit of freedom and unconventional utterance of daring thoughts. In the case of the present author, there was no choice in the matter; she must write thus, or not at all. A recluse by temperament and habit, literally spending years without settling her foot beyond the doorstep, and many more years during which her walks were strictly limited to her father's grounds, she habitually concealed her mind, like her person, from all but a few friends; and it was with great difficulty that she was persuaded to print during her lifetime, three or four poems. Yet she wrote verses in great abundance; and though brought curiosity indifferent to all conventional rules, had yet a rigorous literary standard of her own, and often altered a word many times to suit an ear which had its own tenacious fastidiousness." -Thomas Wentworth Higginson "Not bad... you say this is your first lesson?" "Yes, but my father was an *art collector*, so…"
