~ABOUT THIS~
HIDING BEHIND MY HAIR
Sitting in your class I hid behind my hair.
You must have noticed me. I was the wounded animal dying there. On the side of that academic road.. You peacefully passed and waved. An enlightened exchange you choose and I was grateful all the same. Thank you for your breath of life. You were the one that stopped my knife. Way back then but yet you knew. Something was different in me and you. ~ Justin Aerni

Ah ha. I see myself this picture.

I like the really sketchy style in this, with the super-dull colors and the simple scrawls of all the other kids, sitting like model students with demented smiles. A bit oblivious to the kid in the back. Great job, I'd fave this if DA wasn't acting all weird on me.

i like this piece...they all look like "happy" little droids in school all doing the same thing and smiling in unison. kinda like in today's world. how almost everyone is just like that almost everywhere.

except the one's that actually notice it and live their own life how they want to live it. A little like the one "hiding behind his hair". although one needs not to hide, but to embrace their life and "show it off" (so to speak) and be open about it so others can see.

That's the metaphor that I see in this piece anyways. love it! keep up the great work!
