Art is a serious thing.
Artists are not.
Imagine a mysterious city, a Dark City, a Gotham like type of city, with dark and deep sewers, filled with stories and creatures, monstrous creatures...
Then, open your eyes, and apply that concept to your own city.
It's your lucky day, you happen to live in a city who can easily marry this concept.
You live in a Victorian city...
There is gargoyles, and uncanny buildings, and strange and interesting cemeteries, and something in the air, something that would put Mr. Lovecraft at easy, if such thing was possible...
It's not always here.
But it's always lurking...
Then, give it a touch of Film Noir, dark alleys, heavy contrast, rough landscapes, and your world is changed into something new.
Everyone is a anti hero, everyone is an important character, nevertheless, everyone is character that evolves in a scenario that always seems preconceived.
There is no way out...
And so be it, everyone and everything makes the best of it, and the line in between good and bad gets blurred, right and wrong... It's often time to make choices...
Of course, I am preparing you for something I have been working on for sometime, but for now, let's just have a look at that city with the kind of eye I have been referring to, and it's dark...

| Construction on Hillside and Douglas |
 |
| Morning Rise on Shelbourne |
 |
| Before the Rain . Victoria BC |
 |
| The Gorge |
 |
| Buildings on Douglas |
 |
| Cold Sunrise |
That atmosphere seems adequate for the characters living within it, even though, there is a notion of emptiness that can be overbearing from time to time.
But it is not all black.
By chance, there is also white.
