Model: deep respect and kind thanks to Marcus Ranum

A few can touch the magic string,
and noisy fame is proud to win them:
Alas for those that never sing,
but die with all their music in them!

For those who believe.

This one was so damn time consuming, seems I've been working on it for weeks.

Fix You

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse.

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above earth or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream, down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face and I...


Tears stream, down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I...


Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.

Happy 201st Birthday dear friend.

“Ye who read are still among the living, but I who write shall have long since gone my way into the region of shadows. For indeed strange things shall happen, and many secret things be known, and many centuries shall pass away, ere these memorials be seen of men. And, when seen, there will be some to disbelieve, and some to doubt, and yet a few who will find much to ponder upon in the characters here graven with a stylus of iron.”

— from Edgar Allan Poe’s “Shadow — a Parable” (1835).

Happy 201st Birthday Dear Friend

All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

Happy Birthday dear friend.

I've felt I've abandoned my artwork as of late, so thought I would get off my butt and work on something.
Being a lover of winter, I seem to never tire of snowscapes, so here we are.
