I really should have ignored the phone this morning.. Guess who called?! After six or seven frickin years my jackass of a brother decides to call me. After falling off the face of the earth, stealing money from my parents, not caring about our sisters death, he decides to call me and see whats up as if everything is hunky dory. He has already been in touch with our parents, who have been nice enough to forgive him.. I havent. Im pissed that he would blow off everything. He said time just flew by.. its been years! Oh and top of that he is engaged.. Now I really feel like the black sheep... He asked me if I had a boyfriend or anything.. I was a bit reluctent to tell him that I have an online boyfriend.. I got the reaction I knew I would get.. He wasnt very impressed.. Blah.. I really should have just rolled over and stayed asleep.

Aw, don't let him get you down. If anyone's the black sheep, I'd say it's him! Besides, you're smart and talented, and I have a feeling you've done more good with your abilities than he has. As for having an on-line boyfriend, your far from the only person who's in a relationship like that. These days, long-distance relationships seem to be more and more the norm, at least from what I've seen. I dated someone for something like seven years, and we were only in the same house together for a year and a half. So the hell with what he thinks.
On a more positive note, the art is really beautiful. I love the simplicity of it, and how it really puts across a feeling of bleakness and sadness. It's a pity that these feelings came from something that happened to you, but that makes the art that much more powerful.

Oh hunny, Ia m so proud of you. That was terribly brave of you. I could never have done that ever.
I would have been so mad and ashamed of my parents *grr* I mean how could they .. biut I guess that is just how parents are supposed to be *sigh*.
But you my dearest foxy are a brave woman

I could compare members in my family that are dysfunctional and rather hurtful, as well as in-laws, yet it won't really do anything positive. In the end, it's best to just forgive and forget. A bad phone-call will keep you up for hours thinking and thinking about all kinds of things relating to that particular person. You don't have to know why it's a slumberless night, though I look at it like having a chip on your shoulder. Brush it off and move forward.
Easier said than done, I know. You sound unsure about yourself really. If you're in an online relationship and his reaction bothers you, then you're not sound about your relationship. Embarrassed might be a closer approach, but it's only my assumption. At any rate, your art is beautiful and you sound like someone with a good head on their shoulders. It's your brother, the blood has called, now it's time for you to nod and move along.
Again, easier said than done. I wish the best, either way.

*sigh* Somehow it's always the same. It seems it's always the backstabbers, liars and jerks that get the rewards, the money, the partners ... and not the people who should (I experienced that myself lately -.- ).
But still .. you stood your ground and you alone were honest so thats something to be proud of.
Aside from that, I really like the sketch. Really captures this "Aww gawd, who is it nooooow" moment

The picture is very good, with the emotion very evident. As to family, they can be...difficult...at times. The only thing that I can say is that he is your brother, and as such you should still love him. Doesn't mean that you have to trust him, or even really like him, but you should love him as he is of your blood.
I would say something about forgiveness, grudges and stress but that would be a "Pot, meet Kettle" situation, so I'll just keep my muzzle shut on that.

Oh dear, I'm sorry.
I can't really give you any advice since I'm the sort of person who would do what your brother did and break all contact with his family (I have my reasons), but I can say I really hope everything goes okay with you.
As for the picture, well, if I commented on all your work, I would probably say the same thing since they're amazing and they always make me stop to think.
Hope you feel better. <3
