SciFi and Fantasy Art: Cupidon

This is my vresion of Cupidon (or Eros as the Greeks named him). I did this mutated, demented version of him because i am completely against the celebration of Valentine's Day here, in Romania. I mean, we even ended up having special parties, commercials and store promotions on 14th of February. This is NOT a Romanian holliday. It's just another excuse to embrace Birttish-American culture (as if ours wasn't rich enough). It's sad that more and more young people forget the Romanian lover's day, celebrated since Dacian times - Dragobete (wich is on 24th of February). I mean, if you're going to have a sale on chocolates and flowers at least do it during your own national holliday! Done in pencil. For more details on Dragobete, check here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragobete

PS: no offence to the Brittish and American people. I deeply respect all cultural traditions. I'm only offened by the disrespect of the Romanian youth towards Romanian cultural values.
