Exciting to see you carry your style and vision to new heights. Been exercising your talents in Illustrator? Love your works...Personally I call Illustrator "the Intimidator"....Excellent piece, Bev!!!!

The usual depth and complexity of emotion translates as beautifully through the vector style as it does any other of your amazing creations. Other than that, I'm dumbstruck again my dear friend hugest hugs Thank you so much for creating what you do and sharing it with us :) :) :)

With a strong will you can go even through elementary rock... With so few tones, with a simple expression you've made such a strong picture, tha I really have to say my first thought: WOW! I'm impressed, not only of your Illustrator skills, but your ability to find your way straight into my deepest feelings - these are eyes that can survive anywhere. They make birds to talk, they can climb over mountains - I think they can be filled with tears too, sometimes. It's all there, in this beautiful picture. Thanks Bev for this!

uhhh... bev - this is well i don't know very "unusual" but also ver genius imho.... i live it a lot... :) the "simple lines" and subtle shadings... then those big square for shading and all those details... the birds... and then those wonderful eyes... i's speechless for this stong picture... and those wonderful eyes... i love those a lot... :) really !! this ia a great and very expressive picture... and i love the pre color of grayscale here - at least if my monitor does not makes jokes onme ;D... WOW this is more than impressive... :) thanks and hugs to you bev.... yours christian

I really like the shades of gray...reminds me of our inner nature and what a struggle it is to turn away from the darkness and into the light.

powerful graphically, delicate in tone... inspiring stylized beauty! :]

Oh, my. That is what I call art. Bravo. Bravo.

What can I say after Titta and Christian, just agree. With a few lines you catch the whole register of feeling.....and those eyes.... awesome!

well, for a completely OUTSTANDING effect, i would have not shown the mouth of the character. Your image is flawless as it is, but try scrolling down the image till the edge of the screed hides the mouth. To me it looked even more powerful. :)just a humble suggestion :)wonderful image as it is, tho.

You bloody genius Bev! This geometric/symmetrical approach very much appeals to the graphic designer in me, but it's anything but the cold clinical kind of work that can arise from thinking in pure design alone. As the others said, you capture a plethora of emotion here, your eyes strong and defiant through repeated experience and yet retaining the look of fragility inherent in your continued kindness despite all that experience. Composition is perfect: to me it is fractal in nature, beginning with lack of detail around the edges but with detail gradually increasing (almost exponentially) as it converges into the central focal point - I feel a mathematical precision of balance here, the kind that can only come from pure intuition. There's not a single thing out of place. I'll say it again, you're a bloody genius and I look forward to the day when I can meet you hugest hugs :-)

Wonderful line and a beautifully executed image.

Wonderful work! A great drawing style!

Wonderful illustraion Bev!!! I am always a sucker for the BW ones, this is excellent! Such a wonderful portraiture, and the use of the birds! Absolutely fabulous!!

OH.OHH...Wonderful work...you win Illustrator....i love line vector work...well done

...ahhhh --- bats in her Belfry I see....oh! -- ( wait a minute ) -- those are birds!..... in that case ---- very clean and well composed image ...kind of commercial-arty ( in a good way )

Fantastic work of art!!! magnificent!!!

Very intense espression! I love the composition!

This is so outstanding...a true self-portrait, presenting your "identity" so much more clearly than any photograph could even hope to come close to. Wonderful work!

Amazing, astonishing, breathtaking

Its actually all been said. I love it.

You know how to captivate your audience Bev. I sit here staring her out, but its no good that gaze has me every time. Got to just love the use of monochrome here removes all the distractions of colour and concentrates us firmly on the composition and your crafted lines and shapes. Just wonderful, this has made my night. Hugs and stuff Jeff :0 )

Yes indeed... this is yet another work that belongs in a museum. You are a non-stop inspiration to us all bev, thank you for that!

Wooowww excellent image!!!

Free at last...
