I agree with eachean... it is indeed the best thing I have seen today (although it is early), not sure it is going to change much on it's status. Your work is always inspiring. Definately!

SalBa, I'll keep my eyes open for a Spanish translation; since I'm no where near good enough to do the job myself. and Matt, Yes, that is the cross section of a tree, which I picked up in a ¥100 shop a few months ago. The hair-like blend is all tree. Pretty cool huh? I don't think I'm that clever with the paper. I liked this wood because of the stark naturalness of the bark and the lichen growing on it, which ties a bit into the "parasite" idea.

I really like the composition and the colouring on the fox is just great. Is that really a diagonal cross section of tree which forms the background, and if so what is the hair like blend from the heart wood to the bark, is that natural wood or have you been cunning with other materials...? Whatever it is I like it! (& yep your right, tissue paper on the Tyger :) Beautiful work as always Patrick. I really like the composition and the colouring on the fox is just great.

The poem and your image remind me of a Belle and Sebastian song, Fox in the Snow - same sense of desperation and sadness. http://www.seeklyrics.com/lyrics/Belle-And-Sebastian/Fox-In-The-Snow.html This has got to be the coolest thing I’ve seen today.
