I don’t think it really hit me at first. I felt so……numb, I guess was the best word. I really wanted to make a Batman card, but I just couldn’t find my Superhero box. So I settled for Batman inspired. The colors are obviously Batman inspired, and the gold pearls represent a Batman sweatshirt I saw recently with gold pearls around the outline of the insignia. It also reminds me of the Batman shaped lights in Matthew’s pool. The coffee theme is not only a nod to Friends but to Matthew himself.
I've worked on the card in shifts, a bit a day, until it was finished like an hour ago.
The sentiment is 100% intentional. I couldn't make a sympathy card, it was too soon for that. Those words really fit what I was feeling, and am feeling, and they're still accurate today, almost a week later.
I'm sure I'll make other cards inspired by or related to this in the future. Art is what heals us. It's definitely what heals me.
Just a few challenges:
Thanks so much for looking, and please, those of you that love Friends too, share your favorite episodes with me in the comments. Thank you!! Laters!!
