I would give you summer, forever
if I could stop the change of seasons with a word, with a sword
if I could hold the heat of August in my heart
if December did not make you beautiful as well

This is absolutely beautiful and kind of bittersweet, very light undertone of sadness.
I can't believe not more people have shown appreciation for this piece, but beautiful images like this are clearly wasted on the fapfapfurryfapdom. =/
You should post this on DA and Inkbunny, try and get some prints sold or something. :)

I guess undertones of how I'm feeling always end up in my stuff, and sometimes they surprise me too with how they come out. Wolf Lichen was like that too, I was surprised with how creepy it turned out- it had this creepy/innocent/inviting thing goin on that I also see paralleled here. I don't know why the tree is so summery and yet it turns to thorns and roses. I don't know what that says about me. I know I took this emotion of wanting summer and explored it... I know this time of year I'm starved for heat and green and life.. but there's more to it too. Summer is freedom from trials and work and strife, and its exploration, and time with friends. In a way the characters in the piece are two sides of what it means to be a kid in summer- that's why they're dressed as pirates- the carefree fun, adventurousness of it. And then there's the aloneness of contemplating growing up (its something I think furries relate to a lot, that duality, cuz that innocence and childlikeness is what we of all people are trying to hold on to the most).
The words within the piece are a little bit more I guess. Its an adult in me saying I wish I could give you that innocence, that freedom, that life. Its me saying I wish I had more of it. The stuff in the description there is a bunch of different meanings really.. summer as my life right now, summer as a metaphor for where a relationship was that's more winter now.. its a lot of thing :P I'm glad you like it though.
And I scanned it before it went to the frame shop, so.. even though its selling at AC, maybe limited prints will happen someday later?

Crash, this is amazing-beautiful. The tree roots are excellent, the characters' expressions, borders, and the text, too.
I've been nostalgic for the home in Pennsylvania in which I grew up... in the forest, with creeks and trees everywhere.. Hmm.. this, among other things, is resurfacing memories. =]

The creek in my backyard- it was an ocean, an island, a mighty river- tractless wastes and steaming jumgles and forests and seas and a thousand summer days. It was everything. I dammed it, diverted it, bridged it, floated it, swam it, hunted it, cultivated it, conquered it, let it conquer me and take me where it would. It was everything, it was my world. The further I get away from it the older I feel. I know what is resurfacing, I want to dive back into them and be home again
Hey there! I'm the bear who bought this fourteen years ago at Anthrocon. I just wanted you to know I'm taking good care of it. It still hangs in my living room here in Vancouver, Washington. Thank you for making it. I bought it at a time when I really needed to give those things to myself, too.
You're a great artist, and this piece always makes me look inward in a good way.
