Wish Upon a Satellite | Original Ink and Watercolor Painting

Wish Upon a Satellite is an 11”X14” original ink and watercolor painting signed by the artist. It has been mounted on an acid-free matte and framed in a 16”X20” wooden frame with a plexiglass front to keep it lightweight and durable for transport. Professionally shipped, packaged, and insured. 

One night when I was a teenager, I was sitting on my roof at night, smoking herbal cigarettes, and I accidentally wished on a satellite instead of a star. I always made the same wish: to find my one true love. At the time, I was dating my best friend, and it became clear to me at that moment that he was never going to love me the way I wanted and needed to be loved, and I had to break up with him. I was wishing on a satellite, not a star. This piece is both about not giving up on what you want and having the wisdom to go after what is real.
