Artist's Comments

First picture after making peace with my camera...

Anyway, I know this may look rather silly, but there's some deeper meaning behind it. The water balloon, representative of all things child-like and fun, is being crushed by a black boot and slacks, representative of those things which destroy childhood. In this case the obvious connection would be the adults who look down on fun and games, but I think it can easily relate to chldren who grow up in places where it's unsafe to play outside, or who are forced into early maturity because of bad parenting.

This is part one of a two part series, and is dedicated to "Psycho-man" who has effectively made me feel unsafe in my own home.

*Edit: Reduced size, added watermark, removed border. Also one other thing, I won't bother to say because I think only one person will notice, and it's because he made the suggestion.

Well, thank you. I did my best to try to make the background be as drab as possible in comparison to the balloon, I'm glad you like it. :heart:

I like this. I like the whole meaning behind it too. It does seem a little silly, but it seems right at the same time :D Yupp, the water balloon reminded me of my birthday, cuz we were playing with some... =| But heyyy... 16 isn't old to playing with water balloons :D

Of course 16 isn't too old...I'm a bit older than that and I still play with water balloons....or I did until psycho moved in across the street...now I spend a lot of time at work or hiding inside.

Psycho or Psycho-man is the guy who decided that he would throw a bicycle at my car while I was driving down the street, because he felt that I was driving too fast. He then proceeded to yell at me about how I'm always driving too fast and I'm gonna hit one of the neighborhood kids. The thing is, he went totally postal on me, but he'd never bothered in the past to ask if I could drive a little slower, I gladly would have. It also irks me that the speed limit in the neighborhood is 25 mph. I drive 15...if that. I think he just likes to complain. Anyway, since that incident he bitched (and I mean yelled) about my music being too loud, he's followed my brother around town in his car to yell at him, and he's followed me around town in his truck when I was skating so that he could drive past and call me a "bitch" at the top of his lungs. This guy is in mid 30's at least, has two kids and behaves this way. See why I call him psycho?

:wow: yeah... I see why you call him psycho....... he sounds like a crazy man! Hmm.. I say you throw a bike at his face next time he yells at you :D Calling a girl a bitch is very disrespectful, specially if he's a 30 something year old man, he should know better. =|
