Chaunine Joy - Angels and Demons, A Love Affair

Angels and Demons, A Love Affair

Chaunine Joy Landau, Artist / Illustrator - Angels and Demons

I just had to laugh when I saw this picture. It unintentionally captured an aspect of life that I love so much. The yin and yang of being alive. Our time in the light and our time in the shadows. Between the contrast of the two, life is beautiful, rich and full of meaning and lessons. I never feel really fulfilled as an artist unless I'm working on a balance between the two. 

I love the complex love affair between angels and demons. I can honestly say that some of what I thought were the scariest demons in life that I've faced, turned out in the end to be some of the greatest blessings I could have asked and prayed for my angels to deliver. 

You'll often see me wearing clothing and jewelry with skulls on them. They are a reminder to myself that everything is not always as it seems and when I see those hollow "demon" eyes appear in situations in my life, to ask myself what blessing is this angel in disguise bringing to me on the other side of that toothy grin. All the while Buddha over my shoulder smiles that knowing smile as he knows that angels and demons are two sides to the same coin. 

Have a blessed day all.
