Well the words are my own, but the idea is from a taoist fable from the Zhuangzi that tells a story of a man who dreams of a butterfly, and then wakes up, only to ponder whether he dreamt of the butterfly who is real or whether the dream was real and the real butterfly is now dreaming of him
Actually, I got that slightly wrong, now that I looked it up again. He was wondering whether he is a man who dreamt he was a butterfly, or whether he is a butterfly dreaming to be a man. That distinction seems important since the question is referred to as the transformation of things and I think it's sometimes used to question whether it really matters what the fuck we really are.

I only thought of it because the picture suddenly started looking like a butterfly >3>
I really just do this shit willy-nilly.

Why can't it be both?
I have to say that wallpaper is really impressive work, I love how you integrated all those different components into such a beautiful work! Well done!
And yes, the Butterflies and I both agree on this. Don't ask the Walrus, he's always a bit contrary.

I wanted to see what you are up to and I really love that wallpaper. Loved the colours and how everything is blended in. Not sure if I should be scared of a dream like that or embrace it.
The blacks make the piece feel slightly darker in terms of atmosphere.

I made a lazy thing but I still need to drop art credits somewhere

there, that's done.
EDIT:
meh, I guess I'll put it in my sig too. Which makes this post useless but whatever.

Aww... it's cute.
At first I thought that was an otter, but Google tells me it's a weasel. Still cute... Adorable out of 10.
