this one's hard to explain!! it's like.. the angel doesn't have the strength/wisdom to fly yet, and is blinded by..life and confusion .. and stuff... i guess.. and is walking on a tightrope kinda-ish.....he has to balance stuff in his life and figure stuff out......yyyyep and he's trying to catch a star

An angel-fairy .. thing .. i guess.... contemplating stuff heheh

A hurt/crying fairy, looking to escape and just be by herself... surely the stars will understand her pain........

Just an upward-angle perspective-ish lookin at a streetlamp while it's snowing (drew it.. after taking a walk and doing just that-watching the snow fall by the streetlight)

Awww, those are beautiful!

I've never seen any work of yours any bigger than a siggy.. Those are great. I especially love the Dylan one. I love the color blue, too.
I sooo wish I had Photoshop; I think I'm going to save up for it sometime...

Nice!
I have so much respect for people who can draw. I love to do it, but I'm not very good at it so I find it very frustrating. If you have a scanner you should really consider scanning your drawings so you have a nice digital copy of them should something happen to the originals. I'd hate for you to lose them.

Or, at least tell us what artsy..thing..you enjoy doing?

Well, since you asked...
I like watercolour painting. I can take a really basic landscape (that takes virtually no drawing skill to make-- see above comment regarding my lack of drawing ability) and have fun with the paints. I like watercolours the best because they're so lovely and spontaneous and freeflowing. I'm a perfectionist normally but watercolour teaches you that you can't plan everything and that you need to let go of being in control and just let the water and paint tell a story on the page.

Lately I've also started making silk screen prints on fabric. I love textiles so the idea of designing one myself is really appealing to me. My new thing is creating patterns so that I can print a length of fabric, and then sew the length of fabric into whatever I want, though it usually ends up being a handbag.

Thanks! I'm a perfectionist myself, so I usually end up using a thick pencil and do free-er lines & stuff... yeah. And yep I do have a scanner; just never thought to scan them, they're not that great heheh....

And I've always envied people who are good with paint! It's a material I seriously cannot work with.. I don't know why! But it's beautiful when people can do it, especially watercolor, it's so free and flowing!! You have a gift
I'd love to see pics if you have any or could take any
