But you can skyrocket away from me And never come back if you Find another galaxy Far from here With more room to fly Just leave me your stardust to remember you by.

This is my tribute for Qinni☄

You were a wonderful artist. Once upon a time, I saw your drawings and fell in love with them. I found you on Instagram and you were one of the first (or even the first) artist that I started to follow. Your work is magical. These amazing colors, plots, composition, characters, and most importantly - the emotions that you can feel in every work. It’s very inspiring. It was you with your works who made me love these colors of the night starry sky, the colors of space and distant galaxies. And I also started using them in my drawings. You were an amazing person. Despite all the difficulties that you met on your way, you continued to move on, smile and enjoy life, share optimism with others. You survived 4 open heart surgeries, but still continued to give warmth and smiles. Even when you got this terrible diagnosis in December, even though you were scared, it hurt you, but you continued to joke on Twitter and comments, you continued to post memes. You never gave up. You are an example to many people. You inspire thousands and thousands of people. This is a big loss for the art community, this is a big loss for your near and dear ones, this is a big loss for all of us. You will forever remain in our hearts, and your work will continue to inspire many more. Now you are free from pain and torment. Now the whole galaxy, the whole starry sky is at your disposal and you can create further. Have a rest, our little star🌟

With love, Julie 💔

I am so shocked and saddened.... Yesterday morning, I heard the news that my favorite artist, Qinni (QinniArt) passed away suddenly. I did not know her personally, but she was a huge inspiration to me, as she was many others. She had recently been diagnosed with terminal stage 4 cancer, and was given a year to live, so it was shocking to hear of her passing so soon. She was also a survivor of 4 open heart surgeries, and had struggled with failing health for a long time. I guess just with having such a hard time lately mentally, myself, I was so appreciating and needing her art and twitter posts about how she was doing. Her posts were funny and full of dark humor about her health, which is also how I deal with my own problems, so I just really related to her and found comfort in knowing that someone so amazing and inspiring was going through such difficult things, yet continuing to stay positive. She had hopes that she would beat cancer until the very end, even when all the odds said otherwise. Her strength to keep going, even in the worst circumstances, gave me more drive to keep going too, even when my own life seemed grim.

Rest in Peace Qinni! 

It hit me so hard hearing of her passing, she inspired me so incredibly much, she is the one who made me want to explore with how to draw glowing objects. Her art piqued my curiosity! 

She has left us all way too soon!
