		<description>I was wondering what kind of paper you use for these pieces?
I love the way these tell a story and they are really beautiful!</description>

		<description>Hi Michael
I recently stumbled across your website whilst searching for &#039;faces in shadow&#039; and am so glad I did!  I find your work totally compelling.   I feel deeply moved by your depiction of &#039;unrequited love&#039;, the eyes are amazing, raw and intimate, soulful.  I&#039;m blown away!  Your art feels so brave, the colours, lines etc my attempts feel very conservative in comparison.  I would love to know more of how you visualise and create an image. Have you done or would you consider doing a tutorial on u-tube?  The videos you&#039;ve posted are great but I&#039;m after a step by step thing.  What are your thoughts?  Also have you ever thought of producing a book?  I&#039;m not an artist but have just completed a diploma in art therapy and I&#039;m so interested in how you depict such raw emotion.  Look forward to hearing from you.</description>

		<description>Thanks puzzled...! :)
I draw a lot of eyes, so I think the detail comes from practice looking very closely at how an eye helps convey emotion. Good luck with your artistic pursuits!

		<description>I was so inspired when I first saw these and all of your work. The eyes really stunned me, they are so striking. I was already interested in art, but your work has made me seriously consider making my career revolve around it.
love your work keep it up :)</description>
