I'm trying a new exercise to be more communicative, so I'm starting out by putting on my favorite poems and telling why I like them... So finally... The Rose of Battle by W.B. Yeats Rose of all Roses, Rose of all the World!   The tall thought-woven sails, that flap unfurled   Above the tide of hours, trouble the air,   And God's bell buoyed to be the water's care; While hushed from fear, or loud with hope, a band   With blown, spray-dabbled hair gather at hand.   Turn if you may from battles never done,   I call, as they go by me one by one,   Danger no refuge holds, and war no peace, For him who hears love sing and never

I do a lot of what I would consider "Fan Art."  I do them mostly for my friends. They bring me a pic of something and we go from there.  My most recent have been of a Kitsune Geisha and Capt. Jack Sparrow.  I also create my own characters for some of my stories and every once in a while I'll do a caricature.   To anyone who's watching me, I'll have more up as soon as I can organize my art folder.  For anyone who can't wait check out my facebook.  Just let me know ahead of time if you want to be friend so I don't accidently delete you.  The same with my other modes of contact.   Thank You!!
