Saint Marcell

(This is not, unless by some obscure and crazy coincidence, an actual saint. Just one I made up.)
So late last week, the phone I've had for a few years randomly decided it had had enough and stopped working, forcing me
(by which I actually mean my mom ) to get a new phone. Sad that this is the world we live in, where people like me can't
survive without a cellphone XD. Anyway, the case for my last phone had a kickstand in the back, so I could never put any cool
stickers or anything on it. My new phone's case was completely flat and solid on the back and I felt I had to put something
unique on it. Originally, I was thinking a bird or something simple, but, much like most of my ideas, it got completely out of
hand and I went way over the top. So now  I have Saint Marcell, protector of the special device to guard my phone from thieving
hands. (Because the complicated painting wasn't over the top enough—I had to make a story behind it.) My imagination has no stop button.  

Anyway, I realized before I did this that it was probably a really stupid thing to do because a phone case is not a canvas and I will be
handling it a lot. More than likely, this painting will get messed up in some way even with the varnish, but what the hell. Felt nice to
paint something after having a major art block lately!
