Drawing Down the Moon
When I was only six months old, I tried to catch the full Moon in my hands,
To hold the brightness and the boundless beauty in my arms.
But She was too far away,

Got my life back :-)
So... I handed in my thesis around a month ago, and ever since I have been been finishing off art projects and collecting images that I had already completed. They are mostly uploaded here now.

I am also in the process of narrowing down a few pieces of work that I would like to sell as prints, and if any of you have suggestions of what I should include then please give me a shout :-).
74 down and 4 to go - wish me luck!
