Thank you for the peer request! I just recently got out of the hospital from major surgery. Slowly, but surely, I'm getting my strength back so that I can work on canvases again. I think your work is wonderful! Be blessed!

kylefenner  Posted: November 27, 2009
Well done Sir. If I can ask... what's the significance of the dragonflies?
edwinlong Replied: November 28, 2009
Very good question my friend. I came up with the idea because of the worldwide threats about nucleur weapons. It's my way of showing how a simple Firefly could take down such a threat. In other words, it's really that easy. It takes away the fear from people when they see it. My way of comforting the world. Thanks for the question though. You are paying attention. We all need to believe that some superhero is out there working for us. This is mine.
