Description from the song "Come Josephine, in my flying machine."

I spent WAY more time on this than I originally planned and got sick of it WAY before I finished. Lesson learned: shortcuts actually mean more work.

As I was drawing it, I came up with a whole story for it that has nothing to do with the song. I started to feel as though this was her husband, who died years and years ago, coming back to take her with him into death. I guess that's pretty morbid, but I thought it was sweet, rather than sad.

I know nothing about the song but that doesn't stop me from loving the sentiment here!

It's a sweet song! If you've seen Titanic, there's a part where Rose is singing it to herself. It's a very old song.

Very sweet picture! I like how the happy expressions "light up" the dark and dusty colouring and background
