Blurry photo nonwithstanding, I think it looks very nice. The dancing person is a good wordless conveyor of joy. Not sure about the bird on top of the face, though. Is it a running theme with the drawings that the birds are blocking standard focus points from the background (i.e. faces)?

I'm a fan.

I too want a more clear photo, as well as detail shots of the birds. plz.

you're my hero.

If i can kidnap you over halloween, my mum can bring you home after a week.

you'd get to see my last marching show. doit.

So I'd go home like the 26th, you'd come get me from Holland for Halloween (that is a long way to come!) and your mom would bring me back down after a week? I'm game! I will have like 5 days to pack up and get ready to go back to WI, some time with you, and then it will be Daniel time! yum.

Of course, it will mean something like a 7 hour drive one day followed by a 6 hour drive the next. Pretty gross, but not undoable.

and an 8 hour drive followed by an 8 hour drive ^-^

luckily, i love driving.

bring the narwhal.

I'm thinking my parents can help me get half way, maybe? That would be better than you driving 16 hours in 36. :P

I've also heard that poem describes crows or ravens.

I have also seen references to crows or ravens, for sure. But I learned it first in Scotland, from my Ethnology professor, as Magpies. It doesn't mean he's right, just that I think magpies will be more interesting to draw and are a better visual metaphor. :)

You can be an artist!

I really like the idea of a number of tattoos hidden around someone's body.
