" I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Travelling through this world of woe
There is no sickness, toil or danger
In that fairy land to which I go
I'm going home to see my mother
I'm going home no more to roam
I am just going over Jordan
I am just going over home"
Wayfaring Stranger - Jack White
---------------------
I have always loved this song, for me, it's more personal and deep than taking it litteraly. For me, I am a stranger of my own self. How many of us try to find our way "home". to find ourselfs, to find why are we here, what makes us happy.... So, I thought of portraying that, and I wanted to draw a city that looked sureal, strange, yet peacefull, and in this, I tried to give a mood of a far far away place, a place not known to man, yet, this stranger has reached it.
Is he finally home?
------------------
hehe, first ever entry with NO stock photos whatsoever!!! I BRUSHED the whole thing, using my all new less then 24 hrs old digital tablet (yes, I finally got one!)... I am seriously happy with this, it's not my usual style and when I first started using the tablet, it gave me a bit of problems, but I got used to it really quickly!
comments, critique and fav!
EDIT: I listened to my friends tips and I changed it a bit.. made the man smaller, that way, he looks smaller in face of this HUGE city (metaphorically speaking), removed the grass (they were bothering a lot of people) and added a mist... sorry for those who fav. the one before and dont like this one....)

I don't know what to say other than that this piece intrigues me greatly. It appears nothing like what forms in my mind when I hear that song, but I continue to stare nonetheless.... Mae govannen.
