Artist's Comments
A bowlful of fruit bats have invaded what was supposed to be a generic still life painting! These miscreants delight in causing havoc and disarray, but despite this, fruit bats are nevertheless far sweeter in disposition than vegetable bats.
Considered a delicacy in some countries, fruit bats are a cause for much controversy among vegetarians. As they straddle the boundary between plant and animal, fruit and flesh, most vegetarians abstain from eating them. Therefore, fruit bats are typically enjoyed by time-poor executives wishing to combine their main meal and dessert in a single course. Acrylic on illustration board, 38 x 51cm. |

 reports, 1d 11h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |

As always, brilliant technique, great execution and a strong concept. I personally love the grape critters.
I still have to figure out what I find best, the paining or your description.

The flames and smoke climbed out of every window
And disappeared with everything that you held dear
And you shed not a single tear for the things that you didn't need

Help stop thousands of animals from being killed every day. Please spay and neuter your pets. For their health and your peace of mind.
Beautifully/expertly/awesomely painted blah blah blah you know the drill.
I especially love the pear bats. They have the most personality to me, and are also the most noticeably bat-like. Their adorable leaf-ears are awesome, as are their upturned pear-noses. The grape bats remind me of fetuses, but they're still cute in their way. XD Really well done, through and through.
