I read something awful about the person I drew this for. I asked if he did it, and he said he didn't, and I believed him! I didn't know how not to, he was like my older brother. Or I felt like he was. Not that my actual older brother has treated me so well the past 20 years but it is all I know.
But I asked it in an accusatory manner, since I thought I "had" to assume all accused are inherently and fully guilty, and he never talked to me again anyway, and seems to have disappeared from the internet or thoroughly rebranded his presence. Meanwhile if I have believed this person's story to any degree, I can't very well have an honest acquaintanceship with the person who I am believing less, can I? Possibly, but if that person is also openly friends with others who have been bad, I feel, to me, if not as bad as the accusations made against the person I like better but cannot know for certain what he did or did not do, maybe I need to pack the whole thing up and shoot it into space.
I made one print of this, for some reason, back when i did not have many print-worthy candidates, in 2009 or so. Maybe I thought I would deliver it in person. I sold it for $5 at my last art show. Good times.
This tidal wave actually looks less fake than the one in Duran Duran's "The Reflex" video.

These kind of stories are the most destructive one. Say something bad about somebody, there will always something that will be left of it and stick to the person, wether it is true or not. Then it is extremely hard not to think of it whenever you have a contact with that person, may it be your best friend ever.
What I have learned is that you cannot control someone else's behavior. If somebody orders you to stop talking to somebody, or stop using a website, or stop bathing with a kind of soap or whatever, then it is never going to end. I wish I could say I was done being offended on someone else's behalf, taking up causes I do not totally understand, but I just did it last month when I voted in the dumbest US election I can recall. And I still had less "friends" afterward!
So, this is notwhat I call "friends". Friends are people who let you be what you are, they can disagree, they can give you advice, but they don't turn away because you have expressed your opinions. Of course, it's the same thing around, don't do anything to people that you wouldn't like them do to you! So that's probably for the best.
Get few friends, but right ones.
