Letters ilustration

Hi! this is a illustration that i did some year ago for a campaign.
The campaign is about how people are forgetting the gesture of writting and send a "traditional" card, due to the e-mail and all the new technological facilities, missing this way the magic behind the act of send a letter.
The slogan was "A gesture that shouldn't be heavyweight" (more or less because it was thought in Portuguese and there's no direct traduction, i think) so i decided to illustrate a man that can't hold on the weight of so many letters, showing this as obligation instead of a peasure like is supposed to be. The raven is a common element in literature and tends to represente dark scenario of death or disgrace, in this case we are talking about the death of a unique and personal gesture, the gesture of writting and send letters.
Hope you enjoy
