Artist's Comments

Many people associate the sign of Aquarius with water, seeing as it's derived from the word "aqua". However, Aquarius is dominantly an air sign, and means "water bearer". Being an Aquarian myself, I can't help but revisit the concept again after making this piece back in 2005. I also can't help myself with these chunky swirly designs. XD

This piece will be for sale in the Further Confusion 2009 art show in San Jose!

Done in markers, colored pencil, acrylic and vine charcoal
9" 10" bristol board

God your style is so unique. It's like a modernized version of the old-time artists work. Gonna have to favourite this one, I am. Love to see more pieces with backgrounds, though. :D

98% of signatures like this provide false information. This quote accounts for the 2% with truth.

*nods* I would like to create more full illustrations at some point, especially anthro ones. For this FC since times are hard for everyone, I'm trying to make art that is more affordable. If I did more backgrounded stuff, it'd be sorta pricey in comparison to something like this.

Also, thank you! That's a huge compliment, as I admire many of the old masters. =3

Yay for swirly designs! And he (she?) has such a cute face. Awesome as always! You come up with such creative but naturally inspired designs, like the butterfly-esque wing spots.

Oooh chunky swirly signs, how I love thou. It's all over a beautiful piece though :3 Pff. Like this is a surprise to me.

And thank you!! I used to have an Aquarius friend that tried to convince me that it was a water sign, since it had the word "aqua" in it. >:{

Beautiful piece! I like it a lot, probably cause of the critter and the fact I am an Aquarius as well :D
