Artist's Comments

Hoooooooooooo boy! It's hard to say who got more stressed and hot and bothered over this - me, or my computer (I guess it's not used to imaging programmes).

...Actually, I think it was me. :faint:

This is the first print I've made, and know that I won't be making any more for a long time. I have made this one because I love my mother enough to perservere. It is my entry for the Art of Giving Contest - [link] - in honour of the US Mothers' Day (we had ours in the UK a couple of months ago).

Huge enormous thanks to *PrintsForLit and ^cosmosue for the template. Ever since I first saw it ages and ages and ages ago I thought it would be cool to put a children's story on there - or indeed a story written for my mother, who is technically not a child, in the style of a children's story - and now I have. Always nice to get things off one's chest, isn't it? :P

(I checked it and checked it and checked it - if anyone spots a typo I will die!)

I really didn't expect anyone to buy this - I submitted it as a print because that's a condition of the contest. If you did, I'd be unimagineably happy.

Glad you like it. :)

Aw, I really enjoyed that.


Although, I have to say: The graphic designer side of me died at the sight of Papyrus.

Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.

That's beautiful :) The story and the background picture.

Thank you. :) I've nothing to do with the background picture, of course, except that I chose it out of all those available for the piece - so I guess that demonstrates good judgement. :P
