As they should be! They're cosmic, ya know.

Thanks, love. I hope you'll be able to see it in real life sometime soon. This low-resolution version doesn't exactly translate the painstaking, hermit-eyed level of detail that you know quite well is there :).

Nightmares? My my... I'll take that as a consummate compliment! :)

Thanks very much for your kind words, m'lady... I do try. As for the eyes... I don't know if I'm at liberty to say. But it could make for a pretty interesting counting game, eh?

(p.s. Do not do what the eyes are telling you to do. They have a consciousness of their own and they will feast on your soul if you let them.)

You usually seem fairly pro-freedom in your political posts, so your comparison of abercrombie-applying muslims and non-RU486-dispensing pharmacists was sort of odd ( ... )

i am pretty pro-freedom. if a pharmacist who works for himself and has no ties to the government doesn't want to dispense whatever he doesn't want to dispense, then that should be up to him. perhaps with the caveat that he not be able to call himself a pharmacist, but some other term indicating his inability to help where it comes to birth control/RU486. this works in theory, but in states like kansas, where most of the population is, what, born-again christian, i feel that the government has an obligation to ensure that birth control is at least available everywhere that gets government money. (clinics, research hospitals, etc).

however, if the person who OWNS the pharmacy wants his workers to dispense RU486 and other birth control, and he has a very religious worker who refuses to do so, he should be able to fire this worker. the "religious freedom" clause should not protect someone who refuses to do their job ( ... )

Hmm! Guess I got the point across. Whatever that was.

And people call ME meticulous. Bravo sir. I particularly like the twisted roots.

And yes, this does need some high res attention. Of course, you should be wary of posting full originals...so as an alternative you might magnify a section for detail? That would sate our voracious appetites indeed! Or at least tickle the tonsils.

Being meticulous is a terrible thing for anyone to be accused of.

This is David, speaking through the Hirophone from Metz: I second Exhumite's request for close-ups, and I add my loud applause to the above. I think this is once again, my favourite ever of your works, and I wish I could see it in a medium that invites one to lose oneself more than the screen does (or certainly differently). Have you read the Kalevala?

David! *huge hugs for a huge man* I haven't read the Kalevala, no, but I have heard of it, and quite interesting things... Can you suggest a good version for me to read?
I've also been wondering what a good version of the Edda might be, either the poetic or prose version.

(More details available in above counter-comment to Exhumite!)
