Artist's Comments

These are cherry blossom branches, the flowers are called "sakura" [sah-koo-rah] in Japanese. They begin to bloom shortly after the new year, in February and March, they thrive while others shiver. I often feel a romantic simpatico with them. These branches come from the very street that I live on.

I was a silk-painter for years, harder work than it sounds, so the scarf was actually done by my hands. For a scarf-free image see: Stock - Sakura Branches.

I think they'd make nice Photoshop or art brushes, textures too, if anyone would like to do that.

The scanner captured the details rather well I think. Cherry blossoms are pure charm.

wow silk painting, that seems like a very uncommon past time. is there anything you can't or haven't done?

is that a sonic screwdriver in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?
:iconidolhands:
It was a meal ticket, not past time; done for years for little pay or gratitude, under a small label. I learned a lot though despite my young age at the time. It is hot, sweaty, messy, meticulous, HARD work conducted in odd and sometimes unpleasant neighborhoods, depending on where one's studio is located. My only taste of working as an "artist" and my first step into the fashion industry.

And just think you haven't heard ALL of what I've done in life! Although, I haven't done much "normal" it would seem in life; the more gentile things that kids take for granted, including health and ability to easily fit into society. But on the weirder side, I'll never stop being ticked off that I didn't get to 1. join the military and therefore 2. become an astronaut. :furious:

Maybe I'll just crawl inside your luggage on the way to art school -- I've certainly never studied animation! That sounds like an interesting adventure indeed. Would that I could've been like you at your age rather than working to support my family and pay exorbitant medical bills, though I feel only happiness for your success.

Thank you, I'm glad you think so. It was a simple attempt to create a background, but I think it worked nicely.
