For anyone who doesn't know, this Gare Barks painting was the original inspiration behind DotN tree concept.. When I spoke to Travis many years ago, we talked only about this painting.. It was a family piece that hung on my wall for my entire childhood and after my mother passed away, I was given this picture.. It was one of my most cherished pieces and sadly, I lost the original after a nasty divorce..

It had been plaguing my mind for years and recently, I was thinking about it nonstop.. Something told me to ask reddit if anyone had seen it in the area and, by some crazy miracle, a redditor had seen it a few weeks ago in a thrift store.. Another redditor went and bought it for me and gifted it and I am so grateful for the kindness of those strangers..

Anyway, I thought some people here might appreciate it..

This was a family piece that was very important to us. I lost it in my last divorce and have been trying to find it again. Odds are that I'll end up having to purchase it online and hope the best, but I'm really hoping that some of the thrifters in the area may have come across it at one of the many thrift shops in the area.. If you have seen it and know where, please please please let me know.. It's so important to me.. My family is all gone now and I just want this back on my wall.. Thanks

This video is older now and I have no idea if it was ever shared here, but I've kept a copy of it for personal research and wanted some additional insights, since it was brought back to my attention..

Well, can't add credit for this video without being warned that the post will be removed for self advertising, even though I'm not the actual creator, and can't leave this blank because that's low effort, even though I tried to add credit in this section..

The text reads "Rock on kids! Life's an adventure - enjoy!" followed by his autograph.. I have no idea why anyone would get rid of this.. But, I am glad I found it..

I just wanted to see what Toei's CD Sonic would have looked like and I couldn't find any fanart that felt more authentic, so I did it myself..

Let me go ahead and put a plug in any low effort nonsense; There are no elephants in or around Lake Van in Turkey.. There are very little fish in the lake as well, because of the lake water properties.. If you're actually interested in this, go and research the lake and the monster..
