Artist's Comments

Cheap ass colored pencils on a cheap ass file folder...
Did you ever see those creeps on the side of the road, "flying sign," begging for your money? They just aggrivate the crap outta me..So, Valentine's Eve, and this was pretty much all I owned (beside a really good drunk), I'm screamin', "Happy Valentine's Day!" from the side of the road, for many hours. With nothing, realizing that love rocks. Even if it happens to be a hopeless, crazy, one-sided kind of love.

More than anything, Valentine by *ellenjanuary represents what can be accomplished with limited resources and unlimited will. A good result from improvisation. (Suggested by ~StarDragonBlue and Featured by `zeruch)

Pretty amazing, and the cheap materials don't spoil it one bit, but give it an extra edge.

I've always been a fan of the "make do with what you have" concept. :-)

That is SOMETHING ELSE. How long did that take you to do?!

Whatever you do, do NOT look in my gallery. :boo:

Ninety-eight percent of the teenage population will believe any statistic they read. If you're one of the two percent who doesn't, you won't be putting this in your signature.

That goes to show it doen't take the best "equipment" to make spectacular art. Great drawing here.

Egads...this is beautiful! I thought it was a photograph when I saw it in Thumbshare. Outstanding! Beautiful expression, as well - she looks like she's really up to something.
