Description This is a very personal piece. It isn't clear at this size, but the balloon is not firmly tied to her wrist... about to come loose and fly away. But she isn't paying attention, is she? In a moment she will be crying for her loss, despite momentarily being distracted by something much more real... Death and life, in all of its disturbing detail. But the balloon matters to her, because she has attached personal meaning to it.

Drawn in a sketchbook, colored in photoshop and opencanvas, with photos I took around campus. Looks better bigger, but, alas!

Now I want to cry. What a beautiful piece.


THIS is art. This needs to be hanging in some important gallery or museum somewhere. Keep it up, please. We need more of this in the world.

Thank you! They were a little different from my normal color choices, so I am glad they worked out.

Good, meaningful picture. Things can be so fleeting and fragile, we should pay better mind to them.

Awww!! This comment makes me SO HAPPY!! You are the sweetest <3!! My best friend remarked that these colors are pretty different for me, and she picked out which guy I was thinking about when I was working on it (lame, huh?). I am so flattered for the fave and even more flattered that you'd want to print it out! You are more than welcome to! I will probably make a print available on DA sometime soonish, but I know those cost $$$.... ;_; *I* can't even afford to buy any of my own prints, which makes me sad... I'd like to see them big and shiny!

how does DA do prints anyhow?like , do you need to separately upload a the same image but as like 300ppi?

Yep, pretty much you just upload a larger DPI version of the file. I paid for a prints account a while ago, I need to upload some stuff!
