I’ve been concentrating on larger drawings for most of 2014, as well as looking into getting my art exposed at galleries and exhibits. I have done some of my usual sized drawings, as well, though, so there’s no need for you to worry about those ceasing to exist any time soon. (I can tell you were worried about it — it really showed on your face.)

This is a simple drawing that’s dedicated to my pet hamster, Musica, who died not so long ago. Her death hit me harder than the death of a hamster usually does as it was quite sudden. I had noticed that she was starting to have less energy, as is normal for an aging hamster, but then a week later I found her slumped beside her exercise wheel. It was probably a hamster heart-attack. She was in athletic shape for a hamster that had lived for a year and a half, but like many human joggers seemingly at the peak of their game, sometimes the end is simply abrupt.

Hamsters have a short life span, and as an experienced pet owner, I knew that going into the relationship. Usually you see your hamster aging and slowing down and you realize it’s time to let them go — if they’re unfortunate enough to be in bad health at the time, the process of letting them go is even easier. This time, though, I wasn’t prepared to let Musica go yet, so it was painful for me; it was probably ideal for Musica, though, as it was quick and painless. If there were some sort of hamster after-life I figure that a hamster wouldn’t waste any time looking back at the living world, as their natural curiosity would take over and they’d go off exploring what lay beyond. This drawing highlights that disconnect — me being separated from my darling Musica, and Musica on the onset of her greatest adventure.
