I could not even say this is meant to repay a small fraction of what our dear  Annushk has done and continues to do for us, but in it's own small way it is meant as a thank you, humble though it may be. Thank you for not only your inspired visions, your own and those that you craft to gift unto Bagheera and myself, but also for the light that is your presence. No matter how hard your days, how many tireless hours you work, you always manage to come alive with optimism and an undying rejuvenating warmth. You always make me feel humbled and undeserving of such warmth and kindness. You are a queen in your own right and as such, I wished to depict you with the nobility and awe with which I see you. In this image Anuushk is meant to be an eternal spirit, seen here in her winter form. The way I envisioned it is when she un-braids her hair, the spring will come. To explain the skull decoration, if she is a being of ends and beginnings then death must be a part of it and she honors it in her own way.

Anyway enough silly ramblings, thank you again dear one, for the art, for the smiles and for very simply being a light in this world. I hope to find time to do more than just a silly little scribble. In the meantime I hope you never feel as overlooked as I feel you ought to with how little I give you in return.
