“Blessed Is The Man That Walketh Not In The Counsel Of The Ungodly, Nor Standeth In The Way Of Sinners, Nor Sitteth In The Seat Art

a man standing in the dark with his arms crossed

a man in a red hoodie squatting on the ground

So, you look at those captains and then at yourself
and you wonder: “Why them, and not me?”
As you paddle along in your pitiful state,
a canoe you hope no one will see.
But there’s just enough room for those trusted to you
for safe passage, provisions, and tare.
So, you keep to yourself, and you follow the shore,
making passage for those in your care.

In Penang, Malaysia. Wing Sun's Grandmother is elderly and lives in Penang, on the island. Grandma's house is in a quieter part of the island, closer to the coastline where the sea breeze can be felt through the wooden windows. It's near the ocean, in Tanjung Bungah where there are old-style homes and a slower pace of life. There are many resort "homestay" hotels, and also some high-rise condos, but Grandmother's house has been there many years. Wing-Sun's mother grew up in that house, near the beach, with the ocean breeze. We see the house from down the street with Grandma standing in the doorway greeting us.

It is God the only Son, who is close to the Father's heart

Inside an informal church in Kuala Lumpur. Wing Sun and his father and mother, along with Siu Zi, his friend from school are there together. We are standing in the back of the room, and there are many more people than there were in the London church. There are people of different ethnicities, but mostly Chinese Malaysian. The Pastor, a Chinese man, is standing up front speaking to the congregation, facing them. The atmosphere is hot and sweaty, with ceiling fans running, but still welcoming, Wing Sun is happy that his family is together and also that his friend Siu Zi, who he has just learned is a Christian, can be there too.

An Asian Slice
At the dark end of an alley on a moonless night,
A youth squats low to the ground, turned toward the wall with his face in his lap. Someone might think he’s sleeping. He’s smoking heroin. Soon he’ll fall over and soil himself, and stay right there until dawn.

Back at the neon-lit mouth of this dark alley,
hookers walk back and forth, hurrying to get past the alley, either for fear or because is smells so bad. Eyelids, all painted golden, Asian whores always look like they’re made of candy. Candy it is; but a snarling cat awaits its prey.

At his Grandmother's house in Penang, while the tropical rain taps softly against the window, Wing Sun, Mother and Grandmother gather in the cozy living room. The room glows with the soft light of an oil lamp, and the walls are adorned with faded photographs and delicate calligraphy. Grandmother’s eyes sparkle as she begins to speak—a voice that carries both the wisdom of her years and the tender care of someone who’s seen many seasons change. Wing Sun is pensive with anticipation. What will she say?

$Create a psychedelic album cover for a psydub album, inspired by Globular's The Messenger of the Resonator, but rendered in the style of alcohol-based markers. The artwork features a central figure resembling a cosmic shaman or resonator, surrounded by swirling, vibrant energy patterns. The figure is adorned with intricate, mandala-like designs and fractal elements, emitting waves of sound and light that ripple outward. The background features a surreal landscape with glowing, otherworldly plants, twisting vines, and floating orbs, all painted with vivid, blended colors like deep purples, neon blues, and bright greens. The alcohol marker style adds a hand-drawn texture with visible strokes and smooth gradients, creating a lively, organic feel. The sky is filled with swirling galaxies and cosmic resonances, merging with the figure's energy. The album title and artist name appear in a flowing, trippy font, subtly integrated into the design. The overall vibe is mystical, meditative, and cosmic, reflecting the spiritual journey and sound exploration typical of Globular's style$
