I just had my first submission to Threadless.com accepted and it’s now up for voting. Wish me luck.

All elements in this portrait of a pirate are made up of musical notations. I fiddled with the face for a couple of days, trying to get the elements right. But it wasn’t until I added the curving lines and the ship in the background that the entire image gelled.

Here’s a link to the submission where, those who are logged-in, can vote:
