At Winter Solstice, the divine child Dionysus is born to the Great Mother Goddess Rhea in her sacred cave on Crete. The Kouretes dance and clash their swords on their shields while the Horned Ones look on.

Her style varied widely, from abstract landscapes to intricate pen-and-ink drawings, but all of her work displayed a unique and playful sensibility.

In the Bleak Midwinter Number of views as of 10th June 2017 = 1000. Number of sales as of 10th June 2017 = 8. St John's Church Moordown, Bournemouth, Dorset. Designed by architect G.E.Street and completed in 1874, St John's is unusual because of its north-south orientation (most churches are east-west). The church tower was added in 1923 and houses eight bells, cast at a cost of £301. Date: 2nd December 2010.

If any of my designs were guilty pleasures, this one would be it. I indulged in the idea of her being represented as the Snow Queen or a similar magical winter creature. I approach altering Tori's likeness so drastically very cautiously, since it isn't hard to find examples of less-than-stellar manipulations of her images. But this design was just so unapologetically fun to do, and hopefully I captured the spirit of the album.***** All proceeds from the sales made go to RAINN (Rape Abuse Incest National Network), and rape crisis center that was founded in part by Tori.
