The arms safest
And words so good
The faith deepest
In this world so cold and cruel

Beautifull feathers.... They look absalutely real, yet somehow inpossible. I can't stop staring at this one.

i think putting the lyrics with each picture really gives them depth and meaning.

Again, great work from the master of angels! the wings r great . . . what's she looking at? a stone showing her what's happening down on earth? whatever, this rox.
PS the wings r so wonderful! i can't emphasise enough how good this is.

:-) Jens Höffgen replies: "hmm, what is she looking at, what is she holding?....I don't know myself. Safety? Warmth? Solace? But yours works just as well..."

This one is magnificent. The flow of her wings and the 3 dimensional nature of both her body and her pose make this one great. You know, this might look good with some form of collage-biblical or latin text grey behind her. That sort of thing-it could represent the thoughts she dwells on.

After taking some time (not that I didn't have enough of it) to look at your complete gallery again, I changed my mind and came to the conclusion that of all your pieces, I like this one the most. Its simplicity is beautiful and the good sides of your personal style are delivered nicely. Some of your other pictures somehow seem affectedly dramatic to me, this one doesn't. In a way it appears more grown-up and less Gothic (that's a good thing!), which means quite an accomplishment for a pic of an angel. I'd like to see a picture of a sax player drawn by you, it'd be cool to see that flow of the wings being used to illustrate the jive and the instrument 12

to reiterate:
There's nothing in this pic I do not like, it's awesome.

:-) Jens Höffgen replies: "Nice try.Wasn't this one your favourite from the begining on anyway? Well...and if you want a sax-player you'd better get me to feel the jive. What brings me to this weekend: any plans yet?"

I love the possibility of this drawing. So many things come to mind…too many to say here. Ohhh I could so use this for inspiration in my story. oh oh! you just saved me lots of time! *gives you a big kiss* but this is really beautiful, I love the curving of the wings, they look real, as if she could stretch and just fly away, full of the secrets she holds in her hand…
