It makes sense that Grimes would be a fan of Michael Whelan's work.
When I first discovered him, I was amazed at how his art looks almost exactly like the places I visit in my dreams.
Anybody else dreamed they were somewhere like this piece (CHASM) before?
I'm interested in learning what individual tracks you enjoy that you find thematically, sonically, and/or lyrically similar to Marina's.
Here are some of mine:
If you like ADIAML (title track), I recommend MAGICIAN and Shanti by Lexie Liu.
I'm not my body, I'm not my mind
If you like Are You Satisfied? & Venus Fly Trap, I recommend Angel of Satisfaction by Rose Gray (ft. JADE).
I'm your pop final boss... chew me up, spit me out
And if you like Living Dead (and Electra Heart in general), I recommend Brain by Chrissy Chlapecka.
Write it, and I'll play the part... I became alive on the day I died
Looking forward to what you have to share!

Anybody else do tarot? I was just thinking the other day how much I see Marina in this card - because of her name for one, but also because there is a suspiciously large amount of pictures of her with cups out there... (That was mostly a joke.)
Some of the summary of this card, for your consideration:
The Queen of Cups acts as a mirror and reflects the depths present in others, so they see themselves in a new light.
The Queen of Cups rules the emotional realm. She is the woman whose throne is right on the ocean’s edge, and water is typically symbolic of the unconscious and feeling. Her position at the shore indicates that she lies between land and sea, the place where feeling and thought exist.
She holds a cup that has handles shaped like an angel. This cup is closed, which is why the Queen of Cups symbolizes the thoughts that come with our unconscious mind.
The queen sits alone, which allows her to think. The calmness of the water and the sky symbolizes the serene mind of the queen. Her feet are not touching the water, which stands for her looking at her thoughts and feelings from the outside.
So that sounds like it is based on the imagery of the original card, which the above interpretations slightly differ from, but still... To the artists out there, if you're willing to draw her as this - or if you know somebody who already has, please point me in that direction!
Seeing Michael reminded me of how he had such beautiful messaging, and it made me want for some guidance–because I think if you're a fan of his, you have a heart that's subject to become especially heavy as a result of others' suffering.
This reading acted as a catalyst for me to think about how I can bring peace and harmony into my own reality. Perhaps it can for you as well! 🤍
