Description Someone I knew and cared for died yesterday. He lost his fight with heroin.

I don't know what else to say.

A strong image to express a difficult time. I particularly like how one flower is lit to look like it's dying; the other lit to look in full bloom. That could mean many things, among them: death as a transformation / metamorphosis, or perhaps a representation of the path untravelled, the life unlived. Regardless, it is a satisfying image.

Once again I am sorry to hear of your loss. I must also say this is one of the best pieces I have seen from you yet. I literally opened it up and said "Holy shit" I can feel the emotion and beauty in this piece.

I am in awe.

This is simply beautiful..I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I know words pale to express the emotions you are feeling but this tribute does great honor. It's a very sincere piece John. The typography, the flowers, the tone and your heart work to make this one of the better pieces you'v created. I too hope that you may find solace through your art and expression of the human spirit. Even in this time of tragedy reflect on who and what you are and believe. This too shall pass.

Alone, this is a beautiful piece. Quite serene, yet haunting. Given the sentiment behind it, I'm kind of lost in it. It reminds me of all the people I've lost. Not in a bad way, just kind of melancholic. I obviously didn't know your friend, but all I can say is I'd be more than honored by this tribute. I'd come back to haunt you with a kiss...

Art is in the eye of the beholder. You want your opinion? Hold on, let me get a fork...

Would not criticize it for the life of me. I can see the flower hitting the ground with a dull thud and not moving.
