About the art
Artist statement
Christmas is coming, and this is an opportunity to own one of my characters from Egg Island. Also, with the painting, I will send a signed copy of my book Egg Island.
Extract from my book. Sabo entered the coffee shop and ordered coconut cake and hot cocoa. The shop owner, Ian, knew Sabo well because of Mark, and Sabo had been to many shops but liked this one the most. “Are you alone today?” Ian said, setting hot cocoa and coconut cake on the table? “Yes,” said Sabo. “I wanted to do something on my own.” “So you like coconut cake and cocoa?” “Yes,” Sabo replied. “It’s the only thing that made me lose my homesickness.” Ian sits next to Sabo. Sabo says the sea at my home is warm, they can swim all day, and don’t have to wear so many clothes. Sabo said that they lived happily. Ian saw his expression of sadness, and the egg whites on his face turned dull white.
“Do you miss home?” asked Ian. “Yes.” Sabo nodded. Ian excused himself to leave Sabo alone. I miss my family. I’ll be back. Wait for me, Sabo muttered to himself.
