Coreyartus ImageryThis piece is called The Farmer and the Fox. It’s based on the fable by Aesop.<br>
<br>
The story goes like this: A farmer decides to tie an oil-soaked rope around the tail of a fox as revenge for it breaking into his chicken coop. He lights it on fire, and the fox runs into his fields, lighting them on fire.<br>
<br>
The farmer gets no harvest that year.<br>
<br>
This story could have many morals, but the one I’m interested in is the idea of pointless revenge and ruthlessness. When one becomes self-righteous in their vindictiveness, things can often turn around to devastating effect. So don’t be a dick.<br>
<br>
And I think that’s a lesson a LOT of us—especially in the US on the right—have forgotten. It has been said that “the cruelty is the point”, and I believe that’s true. I just hope karma strikes back soon.<br>

I don’t use any sort of generative image assistance to help me make these. They’re all done slowly in Procreate, and printed, packaged, and posted from my own home. I don’t do print-on-demand drop shipping.<br>
