Good-bye, good luck, struck the sun and the moon, To the fisherman lost on the land. He stands alone in the door of his home, With his long-legged heart in his hand.

The Ballad of the Long-Legged Bait by Dylan Thomas is one of my fav poems ever, although I have no idea what it is about. I am sure though it is definitely not.. about.. JoJo..

Mother’s Day
Ink on claybord - 12x24”

I can’t get my images to look good on tumblr, I’ve tried a bunch of different themes and whatnot but they always come out all moire-y and fuzzy… but oh well! Check out a bigger pic on my blog
I used some reference for the statues, most from Pere Lachaise cemetary in Paris. 

I’ll be picking someone for a free print later on!

A little mini-painting I did at a friends house the other night. I was looking at a lot of Eyvind Earle’s “Sleeping Beauty” background paintings earlier that day and thought I’d do a little homage to them. That man could paint. 
Edit: This is also up for sale in my store if anyone is interested.

Located in Tapei, Taiwan in Dahu Park, these amazing photos seem like they should be on the cover of a Yes compilation album.
