For very long I’ve been very simplistic with my usernames. And now, bam, all of a sudden I appear with something as out of the ordinary as ‘Cosmic Whale’.

Are you thinking what? To be honest, I’d be thinking what? if I were you.

This summer, I read the Bartimaeus Trilogy. One of those really-good, obsession-creating, imagination-striking trilogies I tend to enjoy. Jonathan Stroud has a very descriptive, metaphor ridden style. The kind of style that would bore many because of the lack of dialogue and whatnot, yet can be immensely interesting. 

And here I was, reading Book 2, ‘The Golem’s Eye’, when all of a sudden I was faced with a metaphor that seriously made me go wow. And think. It was absolutely unique, and original, and inspirational! It compared the night sky with the belly of a cosmic whale.

Oh, here I should add that I’ve had a certain fascination for the night sky since forever. The night and the moon and the stars. They’re just so magical! I could gaze at them forever n___n.

And that one metaphor gave me a completely different outlook to something so beautiful. And it made me think. And think. And draw. (I actually have this really random picture that’s supposed to be the universe and the belly of a cosmic whale, all at the same time XD).

Time to really ‘answer the question’, non? I chose Cosmic Whale because it’s a quote that touched me and connected me to something- something that I can’t really explain, but that’s definetely there. A magic that unites me to the sky.

And so I became the Cosmic Whale.
