I couldn't sleep so I had to churn this out. A little semi-abstract tribute to whole...Icelandic volcano vs. the rest of Europe and their aeroplanes situation.

I took the words from the lyrics of the Arcade Fire song "No Cars Go", they seemed quite appropriate :D

It's all painted. Black acrylic and bit of white. Paper is postcard-sized...about A6?

Anyway, it was all very spontaneous - I had no plan and it just came together as I painted. But there's a great deal of structure and design to the randomness. Hope you like it :aww:

I never understood that, how could a volcano in iceland effect the rest of Europe? Harden up, jeez.

Anyway, fantatic work.

Thankyou! I've always wanted to ask, is your name a reference to the Arcade Fire song?

Oh so it's a coincidence :D There's an Arcade Fire song called Black Mirror, it's really quite cool :nod:

Why aren't you more popular than you are? Will you do album art for my non-existent band?
