“I’ve got two faces, Blurry’s the one I’m not.”

This might not be pleasant to look at… But neither is the reality of the fears and anxieties that we hide behind our face. This isn’t meant to be violent or scary, but rather just a representation of how I interpret the Blurryface character on the new @twentyonepilots album.

Sometimes it’s hard to express myself in a way that’s pretty or conventional, and because of that I often don’t want to share my art with others because I’m scared of what they’ll think. But there’s something about the album Blurryface and the music by @twentyonepilots in general that makes me want to stop being afraid.

As I painted this face I thought about the lyric I put at the top: “I’ve got two faces, Blurry’s the one I’m not.” Even though this face is a part of me, it isn’t who I am. Idk why that’s comforting or if it even makes sense to anyone other than myself.

I just know that while some people might see this and think it’s scary or gross or even just amateur, I’ll see it and be reminded that that may be what’s in my head but it isn’t who I am. And even that scary, mean thing in the back of my mind can become art so long as I will it to.

So yeah sorry for getting deep and weird. You can go back to looking at cute cupcakes and puppies or selfies or whatever it is you usually see 😉
