I missed Rowan a lot.
I put a lot of myself into her when I started working on her and her story, and working on her gave me purpose. I gave her a tattoo that said “Once Upon A Time” and a few years later got one of my own, as I came to realize how much of her love for stories lived in me.
I’d love to work on her more again soon.
It doesn’t really snow where I live now (we got some last week and it was the first time in ten years we could actually measure it) but I went to college in Denver. I’m not generally a big fan of snow or cold, but my absolute favorite version of snow is when it’s quiet, late at night, and the undisturbed snow is falling in the streetlights. It has a very specific, calming sort of feeling, that I was hoping to really capture with this background.
I used this photo as reference for the background.
