The rain has brought Ash a star… a personal fairytale in the making.
Created from a photograph, a painting, several semi-transparent layers, and some photoshop techniques. This is my first artwork that really communicates my child-like fascination with life.
I’ve been driving myself nuts trying to find a song that fits this piece. Turns out the perfect song is one I listen to every day.
Field Of Innocence by Evanescence. There is such a delicate sadness to it, a longing for a return to a more innocent time.
Artistic style of this piece inspired by Tim Burton

Are you familiar with “Jan Pienkowski’s”: artwork?
he does brilliant silhouette style works :)
He won the Library Association Kate Greenaway Medal in 1972 for his silhouette illustrations to Joan Aiken’s The Kingdom Under The Sea and again in 1980 for Haunted House.
Big inspiration to me :)
