"If I die young
Bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song.
[...]
Gather up your tears
Keep em in your pocket
Save em for a time when you're really gonna need em.

Listen to the song here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ga_KFC26ZE
Similar to the song that inspired it, this picture is about life.
If you're alive and breathing, you can't be doing all that bad in life. But once you're done, it'd be nice to be able to say you had a good one.
Everyone has different life values that they feel amount to what makes them happy. I measure a 'good life' with the people you you have in your life, first and foremost. I really believe that having people to love and people who love you, is the most valuable thing.
There's always a ton of crap that can muddle up life, but at the end of the day, I feel luckier than most everybody else to know that I have the people I have, by my side. I have a handful of acquaintences and friends who range from casual to close, similar to different, and old to new. There's people in my life, who I wouldn't trade for the world. I have people I can kiss and be kissed, hold and be held, feed and be fed, drift asleep with, and that all quite honestly kicks ass. So I think I'm doing pretty damn well when I look at what I've had and what I've got.
I've made no secret about how much
kashra and 
radjinwolf mean to me in past years, and I'm lucky they've tolerated my mushy tail for as long as they have, and continue to do so as time goes on. They can grumpy grey-muzzles sometimes, or provide tough love sometimes, but it's never stopped me from feeling happy, loved, and protected leaning into their open arms. They're fathers to me, and I always want to try to make em happy, cause they deserve it. :)
Similar to Radjin and Kashra,
tiberiusrings was quick to get to know me, enter my life, and hop right on to feeling comfortable enough to make fun of me. ;) Kashra is a bad influence! But in seriousness, I couldn't ask for a better mate who is always supportive, loving, and wants to see me smile as much as I want to see him smile right back at me. It's always been easy to be playful with him, romantic with, or nerd out with.
vason has been my gay-bar buddy lately, which is great for my outgoing side, when I just get that urge, but he's always been someone who can I could discuss or tell stories with. He can crack me up easily, while remaining approachable (And even if his twink-taste sucks).
sheppymilo instantly and has always felt like a friend I should've met back in middle school. He's always had that laid back vibe to him, and I could always count on him to be down for anything, and have my back. He makes it easy to just chill anywhere and anytime.
I've often told
belicbear that there's a lot about him that i inspire to be like.
And so on. It's too hard to list unique qualities among everyone, because they've all shown me love, taught me things, etc. A lot of these qualities obviously apply to multiple people even if I don't mention them, and I obviously always try my best to treat everyone well. Just the same, it's really just too hard to list off everybody who means something to me. but all those people should know who they are. :)
If you don't really know me, you can feel at least some relief. Those closest to me can attest to having to deal with this kinda mushy shit from me all the time. ;p
I vaguely remember hearing a story from someone how their friend died before he got to tell him how he felt about him. I found it horribly sad. So I think that's why I'm mushy. I know life is unpredictable, and I want those I care about, to always know it and hear it.
This is a picture about life. If I died young, I'd have to say I did pretty damn well for myself considering who I've got. :)
So this is what I'm thankful for.
And no, this is no sign of potential harm to myself. It's a peaceful/happy picture, really. Besides, if I ever died before Kashra, Radjin, or Tiberius, they would probably find a way to revive me just long enough to kick my ass and kill me themselves. ;)
PS. I got to test out SAI on this picture, and it's a fun kickass program! :) I had to try it out for this little picture.

It was in honor of the Native Americans. The coins came out in around 2000 and were an attempt by the US Mint to reintroduce coin dollars into American currency. People didn't like them because they felt like quarters and tarnished easily so they were slowly removed from circulation.
slowly? i'm not so sure about that, i don't think they ever decided to reprint them again in a year... honestly i'd like to see them try again and perhaps use a different size or metal composition, not having so many 1 dollar bills kinda cuts down on the amount of material used to make bills, kind of a resource thing. yeah the coins cost a fair bit to make, but they sure last a hek of a lot longer than an uncared for bill... heck, i have a canadian penny from 1859, i'm given to understand it was the second year we were a printing them XD
come to think of it, kid of a sad thing to see that something done in honor of your native people flopped so badly and was abandoned... i see a pattern here >.< (i have a good amount of respect for all native peoples, canadian, american or otherwise, i kinda feel bad when something done in memory or in honor of someone goes over badly)
oh i know about them being our people too, i just meant in general, the ones south of the established border. i'm on the atlantic side, so we have a lot of miq'mac (i never spell it right) around, they have a colorful history... dammit i think i have to go learn a little more about it now, all this talk has raised my curiousity to be less ignorant >.< on regards to change resistance in currency, i only really find it funny because somewhere i do have a great hulking american 50 cent piece.. man those things were massive...
yeah, really has, i kinda find it funny how canadian currency evolved, too... the first run of canadian pennies was a copper piece bigger than a modern quarter, older 5 and 10 cent pieces were made of silver the nickel was once about half the size of a dime... you know back when it made sense. come to think of it we didnt even have the 1 dollar coin ourselves as a circulated currency until what, 1968? up till then it was either a silver dollar or a large coin that was still called a silver dollar but made out of nickel... most interesting thing i have in my collection of various oddities is an 1848 5 italian lira coin, damned thing's huge... and pretty sure it's made of brass.
Actually, they've kept pressing them, and this is where I find out I can't do FA BBCode again, but apparently 'for collectors' while trying to shift the "Presidential" series minted of basically the same material into circulation. (They can't change them too much since it was hard enough to convince anyone to build any vending machines that would take the Sacagaweas.)
Thing is, aside from asking for them at a bank, the only place you're likely to get them In Real Life is as change at a Post Office stamp vending machine. Which sometimes still spit out Susan B.s, even.

Yea i agree, thanks. And yup the people at your side sure mean a whole lot dont they? :] though from afar i lovesh/admire you keto ^~^ your an awesome person and an amazing artist immglad i stumbled upon you x3. And well, yea my life mostly is about those who surround me :3, this piece touched me
I find it funny.These are words I would feel I've heard from the divine.It makes me smile that there truly are bounds out there in the world that creates a chain to others.I've pushed others aside at times because I'm too diffucult to deal with,and others have admitted it and left me.I say I don't mind,but it breaks me down inside severely.I have seen the miseries of the world,literally because of apparently divine occurences,but it brings joy to hear such things from people like you,good hearted and caring.^_^
This is an absolutely beautiful piece, Keto. If it were on Canvas I'd be tempted to try and buy it from you, lol. Not much matters in life if you don't have great people to share it with. I'm happy to see you don't take for granted what you have. We should all be so lucky.
Great post, and as always, wonderful art.

Hahahaha, oh wow!
First off, I kinda squeeled at reading all this cause it not just made me smile, but it SURPRISED me. I was expecting a comment insulting me or something of the usual like that! ;)
So thanks for the kind words! <=) It really means a lot to me!
Lol, Did you really expect me to NOT know about the coin-over-the-eyes thing? And yeah, I had a lot of fun with the coins, and knew the coins would get their chance to shine. Which is why I chose the pretty Sacajawea coins.
And you're the first person to notice the background! ;3
Thaaaaanks again Kashra. :)

Wow, this is like and uber coincidence. I just spent all day telling my best friend, whose girlfriend has been basically ignoring him to "help him learn to stand on his own two feet", kinda pisses me off, anyway, I've been telling him all of what you said all day, that the luckiest people have people that they hold dear. You are a very deep, insightful person, and i agree with you totally.
This comment is going to get lost in the sea of comments above and below it, but I think I'd like that. I've never really enjoyed revealing something so personal for others to read. It makes me feel vulnerable.
Last month, I lost my youngest cousin to a car accident. She was a few years younger than me, just turned seventeen, and already had a child which she would have given the world for. I'd never liked this song, though the lyrics are moving, but for her funeral one of her best friends tried to sing this song at her funeral. She couldn't finish it, too choked up with tears to sing the last few words, but the emotion she put into the song made it beautiful for me. This is the first time I've heard it since the funeral, and I never knew the name of it until now.
I've had a lot of trouble dealing emotionally with her death. I'm very emotionally reserved when around people, but at her funeral was the first time someone had seen me cry in more than ten years. This piece of yours brought back a lot of memories of her, and it's helped me bring me the closure that her funeral wasn't able to, knowing that someone out there feels life from this song, and not death. That they know how important life is, that they feel it important for their friends to know they love them, and that they could be content with how they are if they died.
Your words mean a lot to me, and so does this piece, and while this will probably be lost to you in the sea of comments that you're getting, I just wanted someone to know that, whoever reads it. Thank you.

Lol, I make sure to read every single comment, and when I can I try to respond to every single one or most, no matter how many comments there are or when they're left. :)
Anyways, It was a really touching story actually, and only further my reasons for being real mushy with close ones. Life's real unpredictable. I don't get PARANOID about death on every corner, but I feel like it's easy enough to simply be good to those who I care for, and remind em I care, cause even if something unexpected happens, life really is too short.
I'm really really touched that you were able to connect personally and able to have positive feelings from this piece. :) Thanks a whole lot!

I want to thank you both.
You two are really lucky to have each other, and care for each other the way that you do. It's never good to worry about how short life is, but to know that it's short and to spend it loving one another is a rare sight to see, and a real inspiration.
I hope you two continue to inspire and care for a very, very long time.

A little morbid for what I'm used to seeing you do, but still good all the same. I don't think I've seen you do any work I haven't liked...
And no, I haven't forgotten about drawing myself... I'll get something drawn and put up someday...
and every time there is an ellipses, someone has sex...

I love the song. Thought of it JUST by seeing the title.
From memory...
Lord make me a rainbow I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when stands under my colors
Oh, and life ain't always what you think it oughta be
No, ain't even gray when she buries her baby
The sharp knife, of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
I'm probably a little off, but hey. ^_^

"Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders we're getting in tune
The music's played by the madmen "
This art makes me wonder about more serious things that I have time to think about in the recent past...so from the bottom of my heart,thank you for making me stop in the race,just for awhile.

Hello Keto,
I don't know if you'll read this but I just wanted to say thank you. Even though we do not know each other, I was going through a rough patch today, something very rare for me, because I am for the most part a very outgoing person. Well, I let everyone have it today.. Kind of a last straw kind of deal. And after coming across your entry here have come to realize that it is very true. Any thank you for cheering me up. Take care.

Huh.. interesting pic :) I'll admit I skimmed the lower section, but it's nice to see such decelerations from folks about their friends occasionally.
However, I have one problem with it. DOLLAR COINS? You want dollar coins used after you call some of us grey-muzzles!? *FAKE RAEG* heh

No longer will 42 be the meaning of life.
I can understand the bonds and feel the passion that friends share. To be able to release unwanted anxiety, to remove defeat's bitter taste, to be held in your love's embrace...
these are emotions and actions I can only imagine, but not yet experience.
You're one lucky dog, I tell you what.

Beautiful as always. SAI worked well here, for a peaceful, painterly style. The Sacagawea dollars give it both a pleasant and horrific touch, if that makes sense.
I've got my own people in my life, and they make me and I them,
not the least of them. I always think I'm not long for the world, but I've somehow survived almost 30 years without so much as a broken bone.
*hug* They're lucky to have you around.

Last september, I almost lost my best friend...she had gone through a had break up & a miscarriage, & was about to throw herself off of a bridge, when she thought of me...
Now, we have been together for a little over 1 year, & last Saturday I bought an engagement ring...I'm going to give it to her for Christmas <3
I'll never forget that day, which is y I never take life for granted, I never forget to say I love u, & I want to spend the rest of my life, no matter how short or long, with my best friend.
I admire u 2 & u friends so very much...please never stop loving each other. Love is the most powerful force on earth or in heaven

Like I told you in text, you are one of the great friendships of my life and I am thankful that I am counted as the same=d Love you buddy and love that pic, and of course you know of the coins for the boatman, with all the epics we make you watch and all the history we force upon you=d
Heh, this song is just everywhere huh?
This song has a special place in my heart, it's the song of my Uncle. He was the father in my life, left behind 2 parents, 5 Brothers and Sisters, and 2 little boys below the age of 10. This song is the exact way he lived his life. "I've had just enough time." he died at the age of 41. A short life, but he managed to touch so many people.
I still miss you Uncle Mike, and i always will. October 8th will be the hardest day of my life every year from now on, i still remember what i did that day. And how it felt to have a part of my heart ripped away from me. I wish he was still here, i wish it was me instead of him, it's not right for him to leave 2 little boys.

:) i'm extremely happy for you that you have such close friends, a little "family" if you will, but at the same time i'm extremely jealous of you for it. A loving little family group like that is what i've been seeking for a long time, but it still eludes my grasp for the time being. I wish you a long and happy life and good tidings with your family. -wags tail-
This picture, the long wall of text proceeding it, and the song in reference never fail to bring a tear to my eye. There aren't many people i know of who truly appreciate what they have in their lives, material and relationship wise, but you are definitely one of them. Its almost as if you have a little family, its so cute and touching ^^
You do a wonderful job touching on just how tragically short and seemingly unfair life can be, and after reading ALL of the comments, It's obvious I'm not the only one who loves this work. I hope you have a WONDERFUL day, along with life, Mr.Keto.

Dawww, hehe, thanks. And I DO have a little family, and I can't take it for granted. :)
Life IS too short to dwell on the little things, and family and friends, whomever you may consider in your life to be in either category, I've found, is more important than most things, if not every thing. :)
Thanks a ton for taking the time to view the picture, and really OBSERVE it and soak it in. :) Means a lot.

That's a beautiful picture, but your words far surpass its beauty. I'm trying to fight my way out of a metaphorical hell myself, just to try to get close to friends that are far away. Being here, no matter how much I trusted people, anyone, I would only get hurt, and be treated like dirt, whereas it seems everyone I can't be close to would act very much differently. In a couple of days I'll get a bit of answer, to see if things are smiling my way. I hope I can leave this life behind, and that once I do so I can actually start a new one, and feel like I used to feel, and trust like I used to trust.
You are indeed very fortunate to have such friends. I hope life keeps smiling at you, and if it doesn't.. I hope those friends will still be there for you ^^

I know that feeling pretty spot on. Cursing fate that all the people you feel close to, and you know would return all the love, just happens to not be physically close by. And it sucks. But it's part luck and part being proactive. <=)
So I wish you the best! <=)
Thanks a lot! I appreciate the kind words too.

You know a picture like this and a description like this reminds me of the fact I'm lucky to have a brother, a close friend be he distant now, and several new things I will earn.
But what I really want to touch on is the absolute truth you said about those you really care about and want to make happy because they deserve it.
I never imagined my most closest friends to date would come out of this furry fandom. I never imagined the support and caring which has rallied around me.
My close friend list is very small and I like it that way because true friends don't fill up your hands. I've got one in particular I hope to one day meet and make everything fun we've been doing come true and then I have another friend whose picture I keep by my bed so I can look at it everytime I go to sleep or wake up. Though I know nothing is etched in stone the reality is in RL we all strive to have people in our lives which keep us sane and happy.
If I were to die young (I hope it never happens) my furry family would be something I always remembered because they are a lot like me where they need an out to get away from life. I don't know what will happen to me the next day but I do know when I hear stories of people who are really happy with their furry friends it makes me bristle up with pride knowing soon I can finally get to meet a few people I always have wanted to.
To me personally I feel like at least there is small hope in my life now versus then. I know I cannot meet them all but at least I can meet a few at some point especially those I'm closest to. Its not fair to lie to a good instinct you know?
But what I really want to touch on is the absolute truth you said about those you really care about and want to make happy because they deserve it.
I never imagined my most closest friends to date would come out of this furry fandom. I never imagined the support and caring which has rallied around me.
My close friend list is very small and I like it that way because true friends don't fill up your hands. I've got one in particular I hope to one day meet and make everything fun we've been doing come true and then I have another friend whose picture I keep by my bed so I can look at it everytime I go to sleep or wake up. Though I know nothing is etched in stone the reality is in RL we all strive to have people in our lives which keep us sane and happy.

It's funny how when I first got into the whole fandom 9 or so years ago, I never would have thought I'd be as deep into it all as I am now, with my best friends being from the fandom. It's one of the big reasons I'm grateful and love the fandom. :)
It's really nice to hear that you have a lot going for you, even if it's not concrete or local, it's nice just to have people to keep hope for and look forward to. :) I know how that is, and those relationships are still totally important.
I'm glad you were able to connect to the piece! :)

Well its pretty easy for me to connect to this because when I started doing this more full time in 2006 I never dreamed I'd be at this point where I have a healthy following of watcher and one or two real close friends.
I never expected it but then again I wasn't thinking about it either. I guess we as writers and artists just have to stay true to ourselves and let our hearts be the guide.
You're s lucky to have as many RL furry friends as you do but then again it must be something in you they love. Things happen for a reason and even if I never meet any of my contacts or watchers which I highly doubt now I at least have the pleasure of knowing some really great people I took the time to get to know on a personal level. You can't have a friendship without some open conversation you know?
You seem to connect this really well with your writing which is why I'm watching you. You tell the story as good as you draw it and always keep those people who are your real friends with you because you never know when the roles will reverse and they'll need you as much as you need them.

"I vaguely remember hearing a story from someone how their friend died before he got to tell him how he felt about him. I found it horribly sad. So I think that's why I'm mushy. I know life is unpredictable, and I want those I care about, to always know it and hear it."
really wish i'd read that a week ago.. i think i may have made the same mistake
paint tool sai is a very kick ass program

Amazing art. You have a very positive outlook on life and your friends should feel lucky to bathe in your presence.
Keep clinging on to those tiny little sparks.
Here is a friendly song to remind you that your on the right track.
