Yes, I am still alive. No, I'm not going to explain why I've been absent this entire year. At least not yet.

"Days Gone By" is probably my favorite song off the album, and I've been wanting to render it in line and color since first I heard it. I held back though, for lack of a good enough concept and a desire to do the song justice, but when I saw the Apples' parents in "The Perfect Pear" I finally had something to work with. I suppose I should be happy it turned out half-way decent, what with my painting skills being dulled by disuse for the better part of a year. It seemed a shame to break a five year tradition though, so here you go. Merry Christmas, people!

I'm glad to see more work from you. It's okay to not know what's been going on. I hope you're doing okay and that all is well.
Have a merry Christmas!!!

It's good to hear from you again too! I'm doing alright, and I'm certainly hoping to post more work this next year if I can balance it with the online drawing course I've been taking. Merry Christmas!

do you mind linking to one of your pieces you're most proud of? If you don't mind and if that's not a weird thing to ask. I think people are often more amazed the less they know about something, and I really never got the hang of watercolors so it all amazes me.

I just casually browsed through my feed here to update my gallery, and man, did I not expect to be hit by emotions of this scale. Listened to the song (which I didn't know before, beautiful stuff!) and I have to say your artwork really does it justice. Not only that - it gives the music a deeper perspective. I feel like crying now. Thank you. <3

I'm glad I could introduce you to it. Some of Ashleigh Ball's most beautiful singing in my opinion, and it certainly has the same effect on me. I guess I should say, you're welcome.
