Artist's Comments

I really had a hard time deciding which category to put this in.
So, if I'm wrong, then hopefully good old ^devart will kindly do the job and send me a subsequent note.

Anyway, this is based off of the song, "The Rose", performed by Bett Midler.
I know this song has been made fun of. Especially in the modern cult Napoleon Dynamite.
But whatever. I still love this song.
The lyrics conjure very distinct images in my head.
Over many years, I've probably drafted this out on paper three times, by now.
So I thought... why not make a polished version?

So here it is :]

Typography and lineart in Illustrator CS.
Painting in Photoshop CS2.
Took about a week, on and off.

I love drawing.

Sorry for the gigantic filesize.

Thanks for looking, and I hope you enjoy.

Very beautiful, Katie. I absolutely love the images and the layout of the typography, however I did find it a little difficult to read in some areas.

Ever wonder about those people who spend $2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.
