Description Nothing Else Matters by Metallica

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trust in who we are
And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trust in who we are
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know...

I Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know...

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trust in who we are
No, nothing else matters...

It’s been another week of absolute work and real life issues for me, folks, but, hopefully, things are a tad brighter.
My mood hasn’t changed much since last you read these comments in my latest illustrations, but now there’s something else intertwined with the hurt and (somewhat self-imposed) estrangement that is always good to find: a bit of hope. And hope beyond words; beyond just saying it and wishing for it. No mere illusions, but the faint feeling that things may improve, given the fact that I’ve made some discoveries about what I want with me and surrounding me, that have been enlightening.

This illustration is, after my last sour bits, a gust of fresh air that I hope you’ll enjoy as much as I did whilst creating it. Crabs are my favourite sea creatures, and fairies I just have a knack (and adoration) for. I’m particularly proud of the environment and background in this one, as much as I was of the ‘Love Bites’ ([link] ) one, because I’ve used shades and colours that aren’t very common to my palette; and the rain has come out particulary well, as f it has just started to fall. There’s a feel of a chill around them as of cold wind, that hopefullt adds to the meaning of the title and the whole emotion behind this piece.

I hope you enjoy!

Nic.-

Indeed, hope is something we should never give up; and indeed, I never did, though I lost track of it, being in the vault that is my sould sometimes.
I'm sory that I couldn't reply to the image you forwarded me, Tina! I've been ridiculously busy, but I loved it, and I wanted to thank you for keeping me in mind.

hey man...everyone has their down time
Remember you got friends that'll gladly support you,and dont forget familly.Parents are always here for you.
Take a break from things,take a small trip to a resort or something,take the sun,smoke some green ().Hell,try sketching your pics or try a different technique that might unwind your mind off trouble.

Come back to us in good shape mate!

NicolasRGiacondino In reply to Clayman8 [2008-06-24 21:33:22 +0000 UTC]

I'm planning on doing just that at some point in the near future: just take some time to relax near the sea, smoke some green, hahaha... and the change has already begun with my experimenting with a load of colours instead of just one, as was the usual with me. So, lots of changes coming on, but all for the better, I expect.

Thank you, mate!

this is so good. These last two have been very very powerful. I'm sorry things are going the way they are for you. I hope you get through it. Again, this is a really wonderful drawing. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the compliments, Sean! I'm glad to hear from you and that you're still watching my art (and liking it!); don't worry, things aren't as bad as they look: it's just that when you're standing on top of the mess, it always looks as though you're never going to leave it behind. But I've seen worse; we all have. Those are the things that inspire us to do better.
