Things just haven't been the same since Mt. Doom moved in. ;o;

You just try to ignore the volcano in the next lot. Even when it starts smoking and oozing.

Can't worry about that when there's food to be grown. ;.;

"If I knew I should die tomorrow, I would plant a tree today."

Also: Mordor gardening!

That quote comes from a banker? That's kinda funny ;D I'd expect quotes from bankers to be more like "If I knew I should die tomorrow I should urge the Fed to raise the prime lending rate by three points."

Also, gardening in Mordor is actually explicitly mentioned in the end of the Lord of the Rings! There is a point in the book where Gandalf confesses to not hating any of the races of Mordor, and that he only considers the Orcs his enemies because they are under the influence of Sauron. After the destruction of the ring and the scourging of the shire there's a brief history of what happens next, about how Gondor reclaims Minas Morgul, and spreads it's influence north again so that even Breeland knows the king, and the nation of Angmar is colonized by men once again, and it mentions that great ravenous hoards of orcs are no longer quite such a problem, because without a dark lord to rally around they settle down a bit and begin actually farming around the Sea of Nurnin, which lies in Mordor, albeit a little far south of Mt Doom to have a good view :).

I was thinking more Vesuvius, but hey - a volcano's a volcano.

Oh goodness.

I hate to become a raving fanthing, but this is a wonderfully evocative image. You keep poking my brain from angles I never knew existed.

Aw, it's her. :( I always liked her, but I understand how self-representations--and, indeed, selves--can change. Great job on the rest of the collection, too, but noticing the P-dragon there really hit me.

She showed up in the 4 of Wands, too.

Everyone seems to remember her fondly. Which is kinda weird because I always felt like I was incredibly spiky when I was using her as my main mask...

ohh this is one of my favorites so far, if anything for the awesome colors and subtle patterning/texturing

There's some more texture on the dress that kinda washes out at this resolution. This one just kinda needed some texture to get the right mood...

This is a pretty powerful image I think.

Its the three of knife in the face!

Thank you, Billy Connolly.
