This piece was began as part of a live stream I did with my oldest friend who is a musician. He sang and played and I painted and we would banter back and forth in between. Conceptually, the wizard is me. Walking through this world alone, having pretty much all I need and yet feeling an overwhelming feeling of something else chasing me. Driving me further off into the night. The robe is a litany of hidden skulls, ensconcing me in death, signaling both comfort and fear of my own mortality as a symptom of all I have already done and am yet to do.
