I’ve recently been thinking a lot about what it’s like to change your whole life, uproot, move 3000 miles away from all your family and friends and everything stable that you know. I’ve done it. It was not easy. Sometimes it still isn’t. And it can be depressing and unsettling and unstabilizing. Someone I know just moved from NY to California, and I was suddenly inspired to do this last illustration. I might do a whole series called “Change”, but for now here’s one. To Marco, don’t worry. It will get better.

This is beautiful! Yes change is hard, but that doesn’t have to be bad.
Thank you, Scott. And yeah I agree it doesn’t have to be bad. I guess it just tends to be uncomfortable sometimes.
Nice shapes and fluidness. (hmm, zat a word?)
Thanks Mindy! It really should be a word if it isn’t.
This is my favorite piece! It’s creative, moving and expresses how I feel when I am in the middle of leaving something safe and known for something unstabilizing but exciting and full of potential.
To Marco, yes, it will get much better!
Thanks Herotness!!! I’m glad you like it.
