Proposed Title: The Visceral Mean of the Afterlife 

Contemplating the afterlife...

What happens? No idea.
Then how do I illustrate that? psh.
Heaven vs. Hell, a weird thing to Google Image search. If I'm speaking about imagery alone, Hell is more appealing; it's energetic, warm, fiery, angry, a place no one would enjoy. A portrait of the devil would be really fun to paint, but is that sacrilegious? Do I even mind?

I love the song "Heaven" by Brett Dennen, which moves past religion. Plus, it's a beautiful song---check it out!

"Castles and cathedrals crumble
Pyramids and pipelines tumble
The failure keeps you humble
Leads us closer to peace"

I love that theory. Actually, this idea would make for an interesting painting!

I'm also intrigued by reincarnation. I'm imagining butterflies made of human bones and other animals incorporating obvious human anatomy. I don't know how I would illustrate humans returning as other humans; I like the idea of returning as animals. 

I've got some more thinking to do...
