Orphan.

Orphan.

I drew a version of this on the DS game Art Academy. Kial and I were sitting and waiting for the fireworks to get started in Takoma Park. She pointed out a balloon floating away, up to the sky to never be seen again.

I had a music video cover that Olan Rogers did called The Balloon stuck in my head and also a little sad girl.

while heading home from the subway, I was blasting Sigur Rós and thought of the idea. What if the balloons were her parents? It's sad, I know but so pretty at the same time. But, I always try and find the pretty in sad moments.

Btw, It's so cool that Sigur Rós had a big part of this idea. Thanks Alex for adding the idea of the girl reaching for the balloons.
