After Being Asked If She Had Dreamed Of Cupcakes

SOMETHING NEW!!! ARTWORK!!!

Until now, Violet's messages of love and hope and wisdom and glitter were limited to mere words on the screen. Now that I live in a real place with a real internet connection, I give you ARTWORK, complete with my own critique of the artist's work. ENJOY.

This work was a commission piece done for Chris Georgia. The reason for the word on the bottom is known only to the artist. I would like to point out that the word, "Poo" is in black....perhaps a statement on her mood. Also worth noting is the choice of punctuation. Poo is not a question or an exclamation, but rather an inevitability of life regardless of how many hearts you draw.

On Her Recurring Dream
