Description to sum this drawing up... well its about me.
its me trying to express my emotions in a suttle yet fun way. strange isnt it?


The pink balloons represent the breast cancer in my family... my cousin has just been diagnosed and her mum has just beaten it.
the candle = i burn a candle on october 12 every year, its Brons b'day and also the anniversary of the bali bombings
the jagged line is my heartbeat.... i have anxiety and get overwhelmed really quickly. listening to music really helps.
thats what the mix tape is for
(listening to tegan and sara is so calming... the lyrics are from their song called 'the first' )
The butterfly represents Jude, my mums dear friend (and mine) there were such beautiful butterflies in her garden. i loved going to her place after school when i was younger.
The reference to "wish you were here - pink floyd" wel it was one of Brons funeral songs (and one of my favourites) but it now has a whole different feeling to it since i lost her.
The web represents how trapped i feel sometimes in Western Australia. I feel like i cant escape those who have hurt me...
and the face is trying to shed those emotions that have built up inside me over these past few years.....
(i doubt this makes any sense to anyone else!)
The sun means the start of a new day.
Club, SPade, Ace and Heart represent the gambling wankers that plague my life....
Rose - my middle name

All and all it has meaning. sort of a sad meaning. put into a bright in-your-face drawing.
Enjoy

god I wish so much that I had even just a tiny bit of ur talent. It's so awesome that you have the talent and ability to let out all your emotions through your art. I wish I had an artistic outlet too. But alas, I am mentally retarded when it comes to music or drawing hahahahaha. damn!
I suppose I probably shouldn't have a deviant art account if I can't draw for shit :/
Please don't kick me off ur awesome website, deviants!! I'm just here to share love and appreciation.
Lol...I'm such a loser.
anyway, you're amazing and I luv ya, girl!
xoxoxo
