One fine day I opened my inbox to find a request from Koban to do a coop together. Omg, right? After rereading the message I promptly responded - hell yeah! Shortly after, she sent me (through no small feat) the most amazing background. At which point, I peed myself a little out of both excitement and trepidation.

After musing over some ideas, I decided to find inspiration from my very favorite contemporary artist (next to Vaalmont ), Ferjo. He's a Brazillian artist who paints the most magical, wondrous environments with floating objects such as these to create the unexpected. (So you see why I adore his art.) If you are not familiar with Ferjo, I encourage you to check out his amazing work.

With Koban being one my favorite sc artists and a desire to channel a little Ferjo, I worked really hard to step up my game here. I'm so stoked with the end results, I could burst! Thank you sooooo much, Koban! You are the wind beneath my artistic wings! 😘

Pls zoom. It really does look better that way.
