go fly with the red balloon

i really made this one for the INK2007catalog. but im out of budget to produce 80 of this so i settled down for a b&w illustration i made as an option.


then i met a cousin from LA.we had an interesting conversation about what we really want in our lives - dreams,aspirations,good things,so many good things,and a lot of good things (hehe) we want to do and have while we're still young.

since the idea of this piece fits her a lot because she did a lot of things like studied different courses and fields but later on, she found out that all she really wanted is a simple (fulfilling) job as a librarian where she can insert her interest in writing and studying different cultures (actually she graduated in this course - i forgot the course description of this one).

i gave this to her the night before she flew back to LA.

im glad i met her
