When I was in London last month, I went to see my favourite band, Porcupine Tree, play at the Kentish Town Forum. I met up with a friend to go see the show, and we were lucky enough to get very close to the stage. Sometime during the show, I could feel the power of the music coming through the speakers, and at that very moment, I could feel my hair blowing in the wind. That was the inspiration for my first beaded self portrait, the Maxell Girl.
