Artist's Comments
Backstory: I got inspiration for this piece from a song on Strata's new album "Strata Presents The End of The World" (in stores July 17th yay!)
The photograph was taken by my boyfriend. He's in Iraq right now (US Army).
The song is called "Stay Young" hence the piece title. I don't know what exactly Strata was writing about when they composed this song but for me personally the song is 100% for the men and women in our military. An excerpt from the song that really inspired this was:
... for a lifetime of paying dues and ruthless reviews, yeah it's hard not to end up a cynic when everyone's too scared to walk in your shoes but can work up the nerve to be critics. Oh, can you still remember your very first kiss or the future you hoped for when we were still kids? Stay young, stay young - no, don't lose you heart. Don't lose your soul. Don't give up control. It's the business end of a loaded gun, facing tomorrows of black, useless lungs with nothing but lies left on tips of our tongues, stay young, stay young!...
If you're curious about the song, or any other Strata songs just go to their website: [link]

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
