    gorgeous! I love the colors. When you’re famous, will you cut me a great deal on some of this stuff?

    I would like to put a hammock up in the tree and swing sleepily under the stars.

    This took my breath away when I opened your page! I felt as if I were breathing in the cold air and all the stars in the sky. I love how you mix images in a magically realistic way…after all, why couldn’t a tree grow from a building and reach the sky? I love the circular motion you created…looks like a gel that’s picking up some reflections. There are just so many cool movements and shapes here. It’s beautiful and vibrant, Christina.

    This is so beautiful. I really hope you’ll consider putting up an online gallery and selling some of your work. I covet it.
