Artist's Comments

A new style I'm beginning to work in, looking to blend poetry and art in an advanced form of iconography.

Translation: I tried to make it work.

Thanks to ~McClelland for some impromptu inspiration.

i really love this. it packs tight little punches. bang-bang symphony. i like the categorization...i also like how your abstract little person brings to mind a musical treble cleff (to me, at least). this seems to bring sound into the equation as well. not to mention it's quite a sweet idea.

Ever read or seen the poetry/comics of Michael Leunig? It's not visually similar to this but in sentiment very much so. I think you'd get some good stuff out of him.

PS: I love it. ;P

PPS: Is that your handwriting? It's really beautiful.

You should consider making this a print.

It is, m'dear. Long live long hand and it's lengthy variations.

I love this to pieces. I've been trying to make that happen to, somehow, something with maps and poetry, but I'm not good with images and so that sort of dies right there. But I adore this, it's totally fabulous! More experiments please!~

Oh but what they don't know, there's something that's leading me on.

Goodness gracious, you really are amazing! I'm in awe of your talents. ^^
This is so touching. Wonderful, wonderful work. =) I hope we can see more work of this nature in your future.

It's impossible to see it coming...
All you can do is brace yourself and pray that the restraints hold up.

Death is like sunset, which is only an appearance.
