Description Inspired by The King of Carrot Flowers - Pt 1 by Neutral Milk Hotel - [link]

"When you were young
You were the king of carrot flowers
And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees
In holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet

And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder
And dad would throw the garbage all across the floor
As we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for

And this is the room
One afternoon I knew I could love you
And from above you how I sank into your soul
Into that secret place where no one dares to go

And your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking
And dad would dream of all the different ways to die
Each one a little more than he could dare to try"

Neutral Milk Hotel is an emotional and amazing experience; not the kind of thing you'd want to listen to to put yourself in a good mood, though. I was listening to the album In an Aeroplane Over the Sea on repeat last night because I was sort of feeling down. This picture is the brainchild. I've been really inspired lately. Not to draw anything in particular but to draw things sentimental to me or to draw how I feel...

The emotion stings a bit,
But her smile washes it away!

It's strange how a picture can do that. But that's what makes art amazing. Much closer to raw personality and feeling than most other arts.

Sorry for the tiny rant. I just meant I love the picture completely!
This one in particular. I can't even place why! Some of what I just said and just the fact it hurts, and yet is happy!

I'm gonna keep looking at it for a while. Don't mind me. I'll just stand out of the way.

Do you have a price guide?

cappydarn In reply to SaintPestilence [2012-02-09 00:18:47 +0000 UTC]

No. It's basically pay what you feel it's worth. It's risky for me but it works out I guess. xD

Usually people pay me around 15-25 for a single character. I really don't set the prices though they just kind of happen
