New Exhibition: Just a Silhouette of Shadows
I’m happy to publish my first online art exhibition here. Just a Silhouette of Shadows is mostly drawn from my time wandering European streets on my extended urban backpacking trip.

22 images, click the thumbnail to start. I recommend a completely fullscreen view, which is possible with this new viewer. You just have to click the up arrow at the bottom of the picture, click the four arrows on the bottom left, then shrink the controls down again. This will live permanently on the Exhibitions page.
