Hope's creation of the pseudo-Artifact was the sad outcome of an artist that had lost their passion. To quote an artist who was old when I was young, ''It's a sad time for any artist of any medium to lose their muse...that's to say their inspiration. I lost my muse...four times in my eighty-nine years. The first was the loss of my dear mother, the second was the loss of my childhood friend, third time when my oldest friend betrayed my trust for a cheap sell on copies of my work, the last was when my beloved wife died twelve years ago. My new muse is my cheerful little great-granddaughter. Her hair is the black of the wood of an ebony tree...her eyes are the deep blue of the sea, her lovely singing voice is like angels, and her smile is heaven's mercy unto God's children. ''

BTW, his final muse (the great-granddaughter) was keeping him company as a promise to her father (the artist's grandson). He gave his elderly grandfather his word he wouldn't die alone & forgotten, the grand-daughter inspired her grandfather's final works (no NSFW actions, just a bright light in his final years) and made sure he passed surrounded by his children, grandchildren and every great-grandchild who wasn't too scared to see him off. His work made them smile & he willed them to keep one painting from each of his muse eras. His final muse...was granted the rights to his final works. They didn't hurt for money as his work sold well due to his fame.
