Thank you! Your comments mean a lot to me! I know what you mean about loving money, or rather design on bank notes! They are really interesting ;p

I love money! Don’t mean that the way it sounds (although that way’s good too) but the design of it, the color of it all often overlooked because of what the money symbolizes. This note’s a beaut and your hibiscus drawing really captures the big floppy petals.
