Right? I love how it’s titled the morning sun but the point of view comes from inside a dark area. We’re looking into the light like outsiders and I love it.

listen if they held parties with alcohol at the gym I might actually go to one.

Ayyy same. I may have seen them before somewhere, but the two are forever connected in my memories with this painting.

Is it bad that I know this work because it was repeatedly shown in Signalis? Probably, but I wish we could see the other versions that were lost.

I’d be surprised if there wasn’t any connection. It definitely looks inspired, but what’s the context in destiny? (I’ve never played it)

The op posted a lighter version in the comments, Check it out! It’s pretty great.

Can I ask how you did the blue and white bottom left square? I really like the effect you made with it, and I kinda wish it was more present throughout the rest of the painting, because it feels like all the drips and paint textures tend towards the bottom (which may be your intention, I wouldn’t know lmao) but it’d be kind of cool to more of that in the top half in more than just that red left-topmost rectangle. Basically what Im saying is I kind of like the texture interactions. (also after reading some of the comments here I realized the thickness of the medium shows more in the dark version than the light version, I’m guessing you painted the other shapes over a canvas you gave once over with the darker paint first?) That being said some of the color interactions are only visible in the lighter version so I can see why you posted the other one!

On one hand it’s an amazing piece in both the dark and the light versions, on the other the bottom right side sort of loses something in the darker version. I feel like the minor difference adds something, even if it doesn’t draw the eye as much as the top half.

That’s the issue being discussed here. The tests will also show up if you smoked the week before on your day off. They don’t determine whether you were high on the clock or high on the weekends only. It penalizes people who smoke weed in their free time, as opposed to people who are actively causing a problem. Additionally, booze, meth, and heroin for example, are all out of your system much faster, so it doesn’t really do a good job of determining whether or not they’ll be blitzed on the job either, which is what the comment you replied to said. The point being made is that the drug test isn’t actually going to prevent anyone from being drunk on the job, but it will prevent you from hiring the guy who tried weed once in his free time.

I have Generalized anxiety disorder, It’s chronic and therapy doesn’t “cure” it. I will most likely struggle with it for the rest of my life. While this may be an anecdotal example I’m not aware of anything that “cures” anxiety disorders, therapy is mostly there to manage the symptoms effectively. Therapy helped me understand and somewhat mitigate the problem, but it’s not something I can ever be rid of, and that’s how it is for a lot of people who have an anxiety disorder.

What’s the name of the novel? I kinda want to read that now because that sounds interesting.
