This is my latest and some of my most special art, man there's lots of meaning and delicate marks and strokes that went into this. And it's really personal, and relieving.

Sometimes when we're under extreme unbearable stress, very strange things happen to us. Sometimes we imagine or hallucinate or dream beautiful things completely unrelated to our pain, things that take us far from where and when and who we are. This was one of those paintings. Done in about 5 late nights, this is my reaction to some of the very dark times now. One thing happening after another, mistake after mistake, failure after failure, pain after regret after pain. v_v

Sometime this week I had one of those wonderful dreams again, where I was with friends and happy. I only have those really happy dreams when the waking world is falling down. But I had this painting too.  snapai is on the far left all giddy and floaty, because he would do that. x3 Me am beside, laughing at my own derpness and being in the good company of friends.  prannon is next likely laughing and cringing at some story :iconrianith is telling about something embarrassing yet cute I've done in the past. (Believe me, she's stocked with those stories oh please Ria don't tell them please no ;} )
Just four friends, all in good times. The background is fantastical, unearthly, symbolizing how far I am from the failures of my life, how free I am from them, for a moment. They are heavily, massively HUGELY inspired and taken from the alien night-day beach scene from the movie Contact--one of the most beautiful scenery concepts, let alone beaches, that I will ever know. In the movie the landscape was lit as if by a dim blue day, and the waves flowed backwards, but the sky was starry, dark as night. It was wonderful lovely, and where I would be if I was on an alien planet beach. With friends, with company, alive, free, happy.

Thank you friends, there are many more in there that I just haven't drawn, many many of you. <3 You know who you are. Thank you. *hugs*
