I am so stunned.... did I...did I tell you how much I love Highwaymen and horses? I just don't recall... I don't tell many people about my adoration for that time period. When I was a little boy that was my favorite pretend game. I would gallop around, holding a big stick between my legs that was supposed to be my horse and the leaves at the end were its tail. In the other hand I would wave around another stick, anything shaped like a pistol and holler "STAND AND DELIVER" to my dogs and cats and childhood friends. Sometimes me and my childhood mate would ride bikes around the neighborhood, pretending we were riding our trusty steads that were always quicker than the constable and his men. We would woo the local girls and wear ridiculous bandannas around our nose and mouth. Our secret fort in my friend's back yard was where we stored all our invisible goodies of gold and jewelery and other valuables. We would stay out till it got dark and run laughing and panting through the woods, stopping evening carriages that were actually old stumps and jumping on top of them, screaming that we would and could cut down any man that got in our way. I have always felt a certain attraction to the lifestyle of the highwayman....


You have inspired me to now draw myself in similar situations and attire. I'm not sure why I haven't done so yet... maybe its such a sacred part of me that I have yet to let it surface in my art? I once before had two anthro characters that were highwaymen, a gray wolf and a rat. But they did not linger long....perhaps I didn't feel I was giving my love for highwaymen much justice. Although, my love, you have sparked a need in me to draw myself blazing down wooded trails on a mighty swift horse, masked, well dressed, and waving a pistol in the night air.



Thank you for this amazing and beautiful birthday gift. I hope you have some idea now of how much this means to me...

You never did tell me, no- strange... :) I've always adored it myself, and when I thought of it, it just screamed of you- it just instantly felt like the right thing to draw. Personally I was into pirates and being a pirate wench when I was little...

The lifestyle, the boldness, the nobleness and yet deviousness, the mysteriousness... yes, they all seemed so perfectly suited to you. I am surprised it is so sentimental to you, and yet completely unsurprised at the same time... even the attire seems suited to you. Galloping across the highlands on a great stallion, rapier at your side, pistol in your hand and coat flowing out behind you beneath the silver moonlight... yes.

I am... incredibly pleased it means so much to you. I really, really enjoyed drawing it- more than I usually enjoy drawing- and I'm happy with how it turned out. As for you drawing things of the same genre... well. Now I am excited. :)


It is honestly and truly my pleasure, and I can't tell you how much it warms my heart that you really like it. Your reply has made me smile and made my day on a day I really needed it. Thank you, hun.
