Artist's Comments

( WARNING! Full picture is 1 meg. FULL VIEW IS A MUST )

Finally after 4 months ( 142 hours of hard work ) I have completed my latest artwork. I ran into many troubles along the way, but I got up and just blew by them. Just a month ago I completely lost all the thorns on the ground. I thought I could never do it again, but after 44 more hours of hard work I got it finished. So I guess the lesson I learned is patience... or maybe just don't give up. Any ways I hope you enjoy this wonderful artwork.

---------------------------The meaning---------------
I had this idea about 5 months ago. It was during some bad times and I wanted to show that even in the worst times, worst situations there is always hope. This artwork is a story about a girl who was afraid of something. She was so afraid, that she could not be herself. she was always worrying about things. Soon she was not even in control. She was like a robot because her fear ( the thorns ) had taken control of her life. Any ways... during her struggle she came to realize there is always hope. Hope for a better life, Hope for tomorrow. She reached out and grabbed that hope ( the blue angel ) and felt a comfort and joy that she had not experienced before. She overcame her struggle and tore from the thorns of fear that grabbed her so tightly. She is free now and looks forward to each new day.
