@Oregonian,

Thanks, the wings are hand-drawn by me many moons ago and turned into Gimp Brushes.

I love Jimi Hendrix and your tribute image, you'll have to call it 'Little Wing' one of my favorite songs :)

Jimi Hendrix Little Wing Lyrics
Songwriters: YOUNG, CHRISTOPHER

Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running round
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind.

When I'm sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free
It's alright she says it's alright
Take anything you want from me,
Anything.

Fly on little wing,
Yeah yeah, yeah, little wing

@Odin,

Yes I know the song well and it's also one of my favorites too, but I think I'm going to call it 'Purple Hayz'.

@AnMal,

Thanks a lot, I really get quite melancholy when thinking of Jimi Hendrix. It makes me really happy to know that others enjoy these kind of pieces.
It also gets me to wondering what could have been if he were alive today.

I've made another JH tribute image, this one has wings and a halo as well. I'm not sure if I should post it though.
