Hope



Inspired by some recent Arcade Fire listening: "Every spark of friendship and love / Will die without a home."

Nice drawing! Looks like she is losing herself in the bird's song!

What song are those lyrics from. I have never heard of Arcade Fire and am curious to hear some of their music.

Great drawing! I love your style. Very elegant, simple, child-like, minimalist, and wonderful color sensibilities. I'll definitely make a point of checking back here every so often to see what new wonders you're serving up to delight the eyes.

I love this - beautiful use of the blue on white!

Perhaps a little Emily Dickinson as inspiration, too? "Hope is a thing with feathers"?

This is just beautiful. I'll echo geek+nerd on the color combination. I also love the simplicity. You've only drawn what the scene calls for, and nothing extra to distract.

This is a perfect illustration to kick off spring.

Really nice, Abigail. Neon Bible is a great album. I love the colours you've chosen for this one. I hope you're having a good Easter.
