Description Er.. damn I had a hard time putting this in a category.

Another ink and marker drawing from spring break. The colors are waaay too bright for cherry blossoms, but they'll have to suffice. Pinks aren't exactly the colors I tend to stock the most variations of. Traditional media aside from the pale bg.

Micron pens, prismacolor markers, and a white gelpen on cardstock.

I might add a digital background one of these days.

Warning! The fullview size is only 900 pixels across, but the download size is the full, 400dpi scanned monster. It's over 9megs in size. You have been warned!

Edited: Added a little something to the bottom. It feels more finished to me now.

Woah, I never saw the face the first glance, and then I noticed the face!

How pretty... I love the illusion of the petals being her hair and the branch reminds me of an extended arm when one blows a kiss.

ahhhh i love the romantic tones of this piece
cherry blossoms are generally lovely all around,
but your style has - in my opinion - enhanced it with your artistic trickery : D

I absolutely love this
I would like to include it in a book. HereΒ΄s more information:

[link]

And the Facebook Kissing Fanpage that supports the project

[link]

I couldnΒ΄t find anything truly "Kissing" in your portfolio on DA but I loved the lips and wondered if you had anything that might be vaguely relevant!

If you would like to appear in print, please could you email me a hi-res file if you have one (if not, send what you have) and let me know what artist name and website URL you would like to appear in the acknowledgements to

internationalkissingday@gmail.com

HereΒ΄s the press release that will be appearing soon:

"Like kissing? Nearly everyone does, and "Kissing in the Facebook Age" is a contemporary snapshot capturing the artistic and creative mood of post-skeptical Gen Xers. This whimsical collaborative project offers a compilation of the written word and fresh images that celebrate the power of lip-to-lip connection. Vintage images, anime/manga, illustrations, cartoons and photography are lovingly showcased in this eclectic collection, along with descriptions of memorable kisses of all kinds.

"Kissing in the Facebook Age" is the ultimate art book for anyone who revels in the act of sharing lips in the digital era."

Thanks so much, I really hope I can include your work, I really love it.

Wow...I wish that I'd seen this earlier; it's very beautiful, and shows how far you're willing to go, to think creatively about not only humans and animals, but plants as well.


A masterpiece.

That's brilliant. The idea is so unique, and it's wonderful the way you managed to make it look like a person with sacrificing it looking like a unified tree as well. The color of the background also contributes to the overall effect. This is great!
