Description

I usually try to give at least some anecdotes surrounding the making of any of my doodles. I won't do that this time because I really don't want to explain this one. It's very personal and I don't have yet the emotional distance necessary to discuss it openly. Maybe in a couple of months. I just hope you like it for the time being. Thanks for looking!

Edit: Wow! Wow! Wow! Daily Deviation... This is so cool but I feel kind of bad considering the above text kind of makes me sound like a pretentious jerk trying too hard to be mysterious, so I guess further explainings might be in order. Who knows, it could even be therapeutic. As a couple of you might have guessed the girl in question is Andrea [link] , a girl I was very deeply involved with until not too long ago. She was very special to me and even though the break-up wasn't nearly as bad as those things can sometimes get, I still felt pretty awful for a while. Not gonna get into the bloody details here, suffice it to say that the thought of her didn't exactly cheer me up at the time so when I posted this I really didn't feel up to dissecting it any further.
This drawing was actually made about a year before all this happenned, during a previous mini-breakup (we had a tempestuous relationship to say the least). I often used to tease Andrea about these two polar opposite sides to her personality, one which made the happiest man alive and the other that could terrify me with just a glance. This drawing was about those two sides of this remarkable person who's now so far away from me.
I'm extremely happy to see so many people whom I've never met connecting with it on some level. it's one of the greatest joys someone making these kind of things can experience. Many many thanks to all those that left a message, your kind words mean a lot to me. Thank you so much!
