Artist's Comments

Edit: It IS available as limited edition prints through me. I am only doing a print run of 25 though, so it's first come, first serve.

I've been trying to break up the fairies a little because I was DYING with boredom after a while, and so I asked some friends what their favorite flower was. Then I wandered their galleries to try and get a feel for their style. THEN I tried to do something a little ... different from what I was doing, but still be obviously my style? Something influenced by their work.

So here's the one from *zambi who said she loved roses.

Done in colored pencils and watercolors.

Daily Deviation

Given 2009-03-04

A rose by any other name by =mistressofspam encompasses truly innovative design, derived from an element well known and loved. Every stroke and flush of colour contributes to a sublime sense of movement that makes for a breathtaking image.

Phew! I'm glad you got them. Yeah they're pretty cool, and you were smart to grab the ones you did because they discontinued them all! I was like...wtf, these are the ones that went first when I put them up, but they're saying the buyers didn't order enough to produce them. I told them to put more research into it because when 20 different people are fighting over these styles and yet the buyers "didn't like them", I know something's not right.

LOL I was joking, if you don't have time don't do it ;P
