New painting: Swan Girl

Posted on: September 18, 2011

7 & 9 August 2011

Close up and WIPs after the jump.

Woodstock Mafia, Fox Comet & My Flawless Ending at Carnival Court

Posted on: September 7, 2011

Saturday 3 September 2011

It really wasn’t wise of me to subject my sickly body to another loud and late night, but what can I say, I’m a trooper…okay not really, but I am a big fan of Fox Comet & Woodstock Mafia and will make the effort to see them whenever they play.
