Not long ago I lost my mother to cancer, and more recently my middle brother to drink. The job he worked at most of his life saw fit to fire him 2 months before he would receive retirement benefits, and on trumped up charges of sexual harassment to boot. With the betrayal from those he worked for loyally for 19 years and the harassment on his work record, he crawled into a bottle of Everclear and refused to leave. One night he died in his sleep, leaving me to discover his body. He was 42.

It was traumatizing to say the least.

Currently I sit here with my loving cat asleep in my lap, in a house that is not my own, with many an odd thought running through my head. One of the things I've been thinking about is what would become of my art when it's finally my time to go... Now I'm not considering self-harm, more of how old I am and that several doctors have made it clear that I'm not in the best of health.

So I have come to a decision. Right here and now, I open my art to FAIR-USE... Any and all who wish to use, color, or reproduce my work, are aloud to. My only request is that you give my handle “RenaTamer” or my Deviant Art page some love as to where you got it from.

Thanks.
