This is so VERY magnanimous of you, dear Sana! Not only do you offer this beautiful piece of artwork, but you provide a beautiful narrative explaining your process of thought and drawing style and influences. It is a terrific template for one who might wish to embark on something like this. How very generous of you to offer all this great advice!
And finally, as the proud (and awe-struck) recipient of this piece, I cannot find the right words to express my shock and gratitude. I do believe I am unworthy of your great love for me, and yet, I couldn’t be more proud! To think that you belong to me and I to you, and that we are rooted in one another like this is — to use a cliched word — simply mind-blowing!
I love it. And you.
