Early birthday gift to one of my favorite artists and buddy,  katsuke. Yep, this is another TF2-themed pic. I originally wanted to make him another naughty pic for his birthday, but I dropped it because a) I already made him a naughty pic just recently (The Kajirou one) and b) For his birthday, I wanted to give him something a little more meaningful, not pornographic.

He has always been my favorite artist since like... 2008! He is such a friendly and awesome person who has always been supportive of my art and gave me comfort in times when I was feeling rather insecure & depressed. Basically we've both been through many trials and tribulations, but we've always been able to cheer each other up- and I'm always wishing nothing but the best for him. But what I really admire and respect about the guy is that, though he's popular, he doesn't acquiesce into being a "pop fur". He always stays true to who he is and is constantly happy to be there for almost anyone.

He's also much fun to game with! He and  z00p actually got me TF2, so it's thanks to them that I have the luxury of playing such an adrenaline ride of an online FPS. >w< I tend to rage a lot when playing, but I really always fill a surge of confidence when he's backing me up. ^^ In my eyes, he's really one of the best TF2 players I've seen. Also, he got me that TF2 font as well! ;P

So without further ado,...

Katsuke,... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DUDE! *Hugs tight* Fuckin' love ya, man~!

P.S. Yes, the title came from a rather poignant poem, but in all honesty, I just use that phrase as a way to address him. (Like in "Dead Poets' Society") So yeah, the poem is completely irrelevant. -3-
