“How extraordinary
you are, reading this as if it is the most normal thing in the world to be
alive. You are impossible. You are magical. Though there are those that debase
you; call your magic an illusion and see your tears as just brine, you can
see through their deception and read the spells around you by looking in a
different direction to your eyes.”
Mike Russell
is an artist who believes in magic and sees his art as a series of spells.
