thank you so much!! I'm awfully flattered that you like that balance, as you say-- it's my favorite thing in the world, and I definitely hope to be cultivating it...
(also, I hadn't checked out IF yet, so thanks for the heads-up!!)
Do you know the magazine Hi Fructose? I just suggested they should check you out. They sound fairly overwhelmed at the moment getting out the new issue, but if I were you I'd drop them a card sometime.
I think they'd love you. They're a small independent publication but have developed a fervent following & wide distribution.
The moment I saw this week's IF prompt I thought of you-- "SAIL"-- this one would certainly work, but you have any number of possible entries!
I'm crazy about your balance of disturbing content & delicate rendering... every piece is brilliant.

When you come in at the top of the image, you have no idea what you're going to encounter once you scroll down. Genius!
