Aries - Pencil Drawing

I'm a huge proponent of Astrology, and I'm not referring to the type of astrology you find in horoscopes you read in fashion magazines. Some of my friends tell me I should call myself an astrologer already. But I feel I'm far from deserving of that claim, at least for the moment.

I've been wanting to do a series of astrology-themed illustrations for a while. Hopefully I can keep the winds of inspiration on my sails strong enough so that I go all the way through with this motif.

Queen of Wands

Unintentionally inspired by Björk's song Crystalline from her most recent album Biophilia. I've been a fanatic of her music for years and this album has energized me to start drawing and painting again after an almost two year dry spell. It's no wonder her face came out in this image without my intending it. She's such a muse figure for me.
