Description All I want: a place for myself. Just a little spot in this world where I can gaze into the moon and let my mind wander endlessly through a lake of crystalline water reflecting the pure black night sky filled with stars.
Oh, will I ever be able to find it?

A work born from a sudden burst of inspiration.
I made a doodle of a horse with this pose on my portuguese book at class one day and I wanted to use it on a work so I sketched it on black paper. It soon became one of my beloved pointillism works that I adore so much I missed doing these.

I wanted to keep it simple and I'm pleased with the result.

January 2010
White pen and white pencil on black paper.

I would never presume that you can make something so... incredible with so simple materials....
I'm deeply schocked. Well done.

Duuuuude Jo!

What a unique techniqe! Your art is really a treat for the eyes, always something different It is SO cool how all you used is dots and yet the horse still looks very three-dimensional and shaded around his muscles! It's like he's actually MADE of stars

I love your black-paper works. The moon looks so good I love how it fades into the sky, when a lot of people do full-moons they just kinda splapp a big white cratery circle into the sky, but the moon has shading too!


I adore the water, it looks GREAT! The ripples and reflection are such a nice touch 10/10!!

That's what I like the most when I do this kind of works, they remind me a lot of star, or stardust
I've developed a weird love for drawing moons and I like when I get them looking decent XD I like the one I did here haha.

Thank you so much Casca!
