    Another portfolio piece. I seem to be primarily influenced by musical selections lately when I'm doing these. This one is from Julie Miller:

"You can make this world shine
in the darkest of times
if you use,
your weapon of the spirit.

You can make the blind see
things they'd never believe
if you use,
your weapon of the spirit."

    What does it mean? Well, where were you when the lights went out...

    To hear a sample of Julie's music, and the opening to "Weapon of the Spirit (Track 7)," the album is called Invisible Girl.

    100% traditional ink and water dyes, except the white dots on the braid diamonds. I forgot to put them in before I scanned the art, hence, I added them in Photoshop.

    I'm off to draw Pirates.

Edit: I finally relocated the stock from which this was taken. It took awhile. Thanks to Sadie for the wonderful inspiration!

I'm digging all the colour in your pieces lately, keep it up. This picture makes me think that there's a pretty good story behind it.

If a ragnarok would burn all the slums and gas-works, and shabby garages, and long arc-lit suburbs, it could for me burn all the works of art - and I'd go back to trees.

It's reallly cool how you have pinks, blues and purples and yellows all in the hair up against the black. Very nice contrast and I'm lovin' it :D

What exactly is water dye?

How does one continue to be human with a conscience and no words?

The answer is simple: You don't.
