Decode the Darkness: Where Gothic Art Gets Real
Welcome to the part of TurtleBite where we peel back the shadows and explore what lies beneath. This isn't your average art blog – no pretentious jargon, no gatekeeping, just honest dives into the symbolism, history, and philosophy behind the dark art you love (or are about to obsess over).
Whether you're decoding the ravens in your latest print, wondering when Victorian Gothic became a thing, or simply trying to explain to your family why you have a skeletal romance poster in your dining room – you're in the right place.
We explore everything from ancient Gothic symbolism to modern dark aesthetics, with enough humor to prove we haven't completely lost ourselves in the void. Because if you can't laugh in the darkness, you're taking death way too seriously.
