This is based on something I saw in the movie "Across The Universe" during the song "Strawberry Fields Forever"
It's based on a Beatles song, but this art is more just based on the way that the fruit of life is generally destroyed through its own creativity.
The sewing needle represents creativity, basically, stabbing life in the heart.
The Strawberry is actually drawn by hand with a reference (I bought some strawberries) and has a limited ammount of colours, The spatter on the shading is supposed to represent blood spatter (or juice, in this case) and display the shape of the fruit better. Although I think it just looks like I did a crappy job shading it.
Anyway, here it is.
I made it mainly to be my new background
