  2. Happy New Year's Eve, Merisi! Wishing you a year full of wonder and light.

    I love that ceiling detail...and the little wings on those narrow shoulder blades. Youth looks so fragile and vulnerable, sometimes.

  10. Your praise is way exaggerated, I only dream of having the drive and talent to do a photoblog like yours. I get distracted all the time, so I just put up a small fraction of the things I'd like to. You wouldn't believe the folders of photos, the clips of music (today I was trying to learn a piece of music on guitar), the half started canvasses and the pieces of writing I have lying around all over the place! Still, I will take your encouragement and try and use it to create and produce more during 2009, and more importantly update it to the web.

    I know exactly what you mean about exhibitions, on the one hand you feel really inspired, you tell yourself this is what life's all about, and how you want to create more of your own art, yet on the other hand, you think these people really are talented and dedicated and you just can't match it. And you know sometimes, you go round the modern art in the Pompidou and you think to yourself about something in there, that now that really is rubbish!

    Have a great 2009,
