Waves Illustration

I wanted to post this so much sooner, but it was a gift for a very special friend and I didn't want to ruin the surprise! 

When I first read this quote, it really moved me. It was so applicable to what I had going on at the time. From October until recently, I had been getting sick close to every two weeks. I felt like I was barely keeping up with every day life. I was getting frustrated easier. I was forgetting things more and trying to fit too much into every day. This quote was constantly a reminder during that period that those moments wouldn't last forever. (and thank goodness they didn't.) 

This illustration was originally designed to be a tattoo, but the tattoo artist wasn't able to make it small enough to fit on my friend the way she wanted it to. She messaged me very bummed on the subject, so I came up with a plan b. 

I took the originally typography that I did and turned it into a poster, which I mailed to her as a surprise! That way she could still have the art, with the quote that she chose. She needs to bug me though about designing her other tattoo. ;)
