People sometimes complain that holidays are ruined by materialism. But really, we all live in a material world. And so I made this picture of material things as a Be My Valentine. Everybody likes flowers, after all, and quite a few of us like boots, too.
Wikipedia tells me that 190 million cards are exchanged each year on Valentine's day. This, presumably, won't contribute to that statistic.
The picture was made with pencil, watercolours, and several kinds of marker.
Our epoch is a time of tragic collision between matter and spirit and of the downfall of the purely material world view.
