A quick paint, using black color only. Started with the black paint mix with a lot of water as a thin layer, then applied the second, third and more layers after the previous layers has dry completely.

“Jika Rindu itu abadi,
Maka Cinta terlahir kembali, Sayangku.
Berjanjilah, tidak lagi terlambat.
Jika kita terlahir kembali, cepat-cepat menujuku.
Pun aku akan memburumu.
Tak butuh waktu lebih lama dari seketika
Untuk saling mengenal lagi di antara kita berdua.
Sebab, sama kita membawa Rindu ke mana-mana.”

A quick draw, for refreshing my mind while working on a tight schedule.
Frankly, this drawing doesn’t have a meaning, so does the title, plain and simple, no symbolism, no poetry, no hidden message.

So i hope you enjoy this. It’s a simple drawing from a simple me.
Got to get back on my work, three commissions with a same deadline this afternoon.
I’ll see you soon, friends.

Cheers!
