"This is the strange life of my family. We are the likenesses of ancient figures, but we are not those people. We are only ourselves."

Blurb: Michelangelo's David and a street mural on the side of a donut shop fall in love. What is life to artwork, away from human eyes?

Why is it worth your time?: There are a bunch of works in this catalog about the independent life of fictional beings, but this is the only one I've found where the human creators/audience are completely not involved and the focus is on the statue and mural's relationship to EACH OTHER. The art is gorgeous, and it's short and free to read online; give it a shot!

Plural Tags: abuse not mentioned, otherworld, fictioneers (Michelangelo's David), romantic relationships

Nudity (it's Michelangelo's David, I don't know what you expect), character death but he's fine.

This made us cry in a good way. Absolutely recommend it.
