Tenebrōsus -- The Demon of Daylight Savings

$30.00

8.5” × 11” Archival print on Canon Matte paper of “Tenebrōsus,” an original demon by Jordan Cunningham for her series “Gods of Small Moments.” Original artwork is gouache and India ink on paper.

If you’re being generous, you could say they’re only borrowing the sun. If you’re feeling spiteful, you could accuse them of theft. Either way, the Demon of Daylight Savings arrives with pedantic punctuality each fall and revokes an hour of sunlight from every evening, to be returned only when the trees are once more ready to blossom. They are a fabricated being, a concept given life by Man as he tries to bend Time to suit his schedule. They are a boon to the early risers, to be sure, but even that is short-lived as this demon thrives in the dark, guided only by the moon as it gleams through the bare branches of Tenebrōsus’ lantern. Look for their return, and do not think of them too harshly— after all, they are simply fulfilling the task we created them to do.*

*Alternatively, hang this effigy upon your wall and throw darts at it. Seasonal depression sucks and Tenebrōsus definitely makes it worse, whether that was their intent or not.

Each archival-quality print comes with an additional print on printer paper for you to hang up and abuse as you see fit, as well as a lore card and signed backing plate with which it can be framed.
