Hopeful



The Last Match...


I've always wanted to draw The Little Match Girl. That last match just breaks my heart. She was so hopeful. Why didn't anyone buy her matches!!! argggh~ I don't know if I really did her justice here. I think my original sketch was better. I might try again and draw a nicer picture of her one of these days.

So many things happened in the last 2 months that leaves me feeling a little strange. I went on a trip. In Japan, I met up with FSc whom I haven't seen in a few years. It was nice to catch up with her. I met Fujijun for the first time through FSc too. She's so awesome. I really love her artworks. Then I went to Thailand. I was quite busy with work while I was away, so it didn't really feel like a vacation. It felt more like working away from home. I ended up having to go to Denmark for work in the middle of my Thailand trip, then back to Thailand again. I found a stray kitten that I decided to bring back to the states. My dad passed away, but I'm glad I got to see him right before he passed away. I was busy with the funeral and also super busy with work. Then on the way back I caught a cold and was super sick on the plane ride home. I have to fly back for the kitten because he was sick and ended up getting his vaccines late. Lastly, I'm going to move to Denmark in 2 months for work. I've been freelancing for over 10 years. It will be strange to be working in an office, but it's a wonderful opportunity and I still get to draw and design.
