Tiers of Sadness, tears of happiness by Ambyunderock

Tears and sadness feared,

Tried to veer, but we need to steer,

Still in steering the sadness leers,

Sometimes it’s difficult to face sadness, 

but drawing and reflecting on the puddles muddles the uncertainty,

Something which words can’t fully explain and others cant see,

This is my drawing, my expressions of this feeling,

Though many parts elicit sadness and unknown, there is happiness grown,

These years flown, still no one can be certain so we are constantly united by the unknown


Ambyunderock is someone who enjoys whimsical and fantastical art. They like to draw characters and add lots of strong colors to inspire persons to think differently of what they once saw as singular. They use many different colors and concepts to formulate detailed pieces.
