“...’One day I saw the sun set forty-four times!’ And a little later you added, ‘You know, when you’re feeling very sad, sunsets are wonderful…’
‘On the day of the forty-four times, were you feeling very sad?’
But the little prince didn’t answer.”
- The Little Prince, by Antoine de Sainte-Exupery

This is a present for ~radioblur in hopes of making him feel better…I was going to try and paint forty-four sunsets, but I would never have completed it in time, but the sentiment remains…i was surprised i got this far, after a complete and utter artistic breakdown yesterday...

So I drew the bird-boy hugging his friend…his arms are wings, but please don’t attach any lame angelic/religious alliterations to him or the image…he’s just a guy with wings for arms…

And Mitch…I just wanted to thank you for always being around for me when I was feeling all down and out, and I wish I was even somewhat capable of returning the favour, but I’ve never been all that adept with words, so I hope this manages to make you feel even the slightest bit better…you’re an amazing person and completely undeserving of all the troubles as of late, but whichever way things go, just keep pulling through and eventually things’ll have to look up! To you the best of luck, and some good sunsets as well…

also, please, no critique guys...i know there's troubles, but i'm alright with them and since all my self-confidence was washed down the drain yesterday, i would really prefer for this to not be picked apart...thanks...
