26th November and the Sights on My Walk to School



25th November Photoshopped Artist Copy

This is an copy of stain glass window by Nancy who was a famous artist during the time of Art Nouveau, my work was originally done with Sharpie then scanned in to the commuter then using Photoshop I filled in the colour, and that was what I was doing all of yesterday.

A Pacifist's Dream - Poem

It couldn’t happen here
It couldn’t happen now
The past and the present never mixed to one
The war that our ancestors fought
Could never happen now
With the entire world in chaos and the threats would never go

The weapons of war have changed our ways
There could never be a war again
But that is not to be
But that is just a pacifist's dream
