The Bleak Midwinter

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.
