• Added “Issuance” to the gallery this evening. Don’t ask me what it is supposed to represent, because I don’t really know. I like the colors though, and I think it looks nice on my desktop. This one is for Thomas from Denmark.

• A lot of people have been writing asking if I can make wallpapers based on the Lord of the Rings. Unfortunately, the answer is no. From what I understand, only a handful of artists are specially licensed to depict Middle-Earth. They are each approved by Tolkein’s family, and I am not one of them. So copyright prevents me from doing any LOTR (or Star Wars, or Cowboy Bebop, etc) wallpapers.

  Even if I could though, I don’t think I would. I prefer that my work tell its own story, rather than borrow resonance from another source.
