Description FULLVIEW AS ALWAYS

...And then you think you've sinned
As you fall upon your knees
Living in your picture
Still forget the breeze
And she may rise if I sing you down
And she may wisely cling to the ground
Cause I'm lately horny

So why would she take me thorny


The meaning of the image is a threefold for me.
First is an update to celebrate me being free finally. Applications to universities have been sent, portfolios completed and midterms submitted.
Secondly this is an experiment of my new direction. I want to change a few things in my style, the most dominant change being making use of backgrounds. So. As upsetting as it is that I can't do as much as before with my figures' faces, I like what I see. Tell me what you think of this change, especially if you've been seeing my work for a while.

Thirdly this is a tribute to the singer who's kept me inspired for quite some time now. I love Damien Rice's music very much and I've got a lot to thank him for. The male figure in the midground is actually based on a photograph of Damien!

As far as the stars, the hanging heart, the beads on the floor && the ladder goes,
they all have a meaning but they are open to interpretation.

Thanks for the support.

Absolutely stunning.

Ahh. I was just listening to Elephant as I clicked on this. I really adore the arrangement of the figures and the background is heavenly.

I'm absolutely in love with the girl's dress and how it ruffles and falls nicely to the ground... I just kind of like pictures with no defined floor, and all the objects that are on it just have small shadows. It's a nice effect. Also, I think this type of shading is really nice, too!
