I am a FAAN artist and hadn't thought much about being on the adopting side of the FAAN machine.

One day, I logged on to upload a new image to my profile when I saw M Ringland’s “no178” and instantly fell in love. I have been going through a rough patch in my life and feel that this piece so poignantly describes my current state of affairs. I love the use of a horizon line splicing the message in two, in effect adding punctuation to this phrase.

I have placed the drawing on my "Wall of Joy", the patch above my computer where I put my most current inspirational art collection, most of which are works on paper traded or gifted with friends.

from the adopters' email:

"... I saw this drawing (Everything will be okay...)

I am attracted to its austere aesthetic... Anyway, I have moments now and again of thinking that eventually, all this will be behind me.

Your drawing affirms this, in that slightly dark and macabre way that I love."
