Guys, I am having to re-size my photos as the images are too big for WordPress

Artwork by Candia Dixon-Stuart

I did this silhouette drawing based on a postcard that I bought

at the Goethe House in Frankfurt in 1970. I decided to upcycle it

with a bit of photo manipulation and the addition of a wonky

crown.
