Release Them

*Dedicated to all my Best Mates*

I'll try to explain my concept for this one

Basically the bats, for me are a symbol of darkness and to a degree danger/bad.

And the Butterfly is used in this as a symbol of hope and happiness.

The light bulbs I'm using to represent a sense of realization, like in retro cartoons how if you get an idea a light bulb turns on.

So whats happening here is the lady is literally tearing all the "bad" out of her and in turn unlocking the cage in which her happiness and hope has been locked away, freeing it and allowing happiness after the realization that somethings and some people aren't worth worrying over, and others deserve the attention.

I know it may sound corny but this is my first attempt at doing something that actually means something to me and has actual emotion in it haha.

I really like how this turned out and hope you guys do to

"We hate. We hate people that try. Try to be our friend, they go behind our backs and betray us, you know what this song is dedicated to those fagots that shook your hand and wherever you were, and for years you finally find out there not really your friend at all, they just want a fucking piece of whatever you have. So you take those friends you call them up, and throw them out the fucking window. And this is dedicated not to them, this is actually dedicated to the ones that were their after them. These are called your true friends, they understand you, right here where it needs to be."

Sorry if the image quality is bad. I got some advice from Glittersniffer [link]
And she said that scanning gives better quality, but I had to stitch it together in Photoshop, and my skills in that are nothing to brag about haha
