I don’t think I’ve drawn Sophie Browne since Sebastian died but he was Sophie Browne Isn’t Dead’s biggest fan, and the other day when I came home from honoring Sebastian at a Day of the Dead celebration, I was greeted by a friendly skeleton decoration my roommates had put up.

Upon seeing the spooky friend, I immediately thought of Aaron Kelly (a character from a Irish/African American folktale about a dancing skeleton) and I was like “Oh imagine if in the world of SBID he were a famous dancer/choreographer on Broadway like Savion Glover or Bob Fosse or something! And Sophie Browne would obviously be his biggest fan, and would stage-door his shows!”

As with most thoughts like that I figured I may as well brush it aside for a later date when I actually have free time to spend drawing, but then it hit me how much I think Sebastian would’ve appreciated that, and so since I found myself equipped with markers and paper (which I needed to execute the completion of my Halloween costume for tomorrow) and since it IS Halloween tomorrow, I figured there was no better time than the present to draw this!

I hope Sebastian likes it! 💜💜💜❤️❤️❤️💜💜💜
