We Are Always Watching - Mixed media on paper
Sometimes you feel a little alien. Sometimes you feel like you are being watched. Every move seems important. The slightest of moves you feel are so important in the big picture. I wonder who is watching? I wonder all the time. The more I watch the more I wonder. Have you seen me around? You might notice my eyes, you can’t forget them. They draw you in and your mind is taken.
All this time I knew. Do you see me in the boat? It goes so fast, so beautiful, so sleek. I see timber, I see white and above all I see bright, bright blue. Hair is dark and eyes so big. Clarity and crispness. The ocean surrounds. The ones who helped me to this place are by my side. We are always watching. See our eyes? We see your mind.

Danger Tallows - Markers and ink on paper
Remember that day you were surfing and a big shadow went under you? And there was that feeling of dread. What was down there? Ever wonder how you didn’t see that shadow again? My name is Danger Tallows… protector of the waters.
Queen of the Rain - Ink and markers on paper
I know you have all been watching me. The Queen of the Rain. There was conflict and it will settle. I was nearly overthrown. Order is being restored and life will get back to normal.
Big Eyes - Markers and ink on paper
You don’t need to tell me anything. I already know. My big eyes read your mind.
I first saw one surfing. Then I saw them everywhere.
