At times, values such as these can be misplaced (for numerous reasons) and inevitably lead to disappointment and frustration. However, in this case I refer to these values in the context of a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Edvard Munch&#8217;s, The Scream has been referred to, not so much an incident or a landscape, but as a depiction of a state of mind. Fortunately, many versions of The Scream survived through time since painted, sketched and lithographed from 1893 to 1910. It wasn&#8217;t just the image that inspired my latest submission but the artist&#8217;s diary entry dated, 22 January [...]]]></description>

However there exists a psychological disorder in which a person believes he or she has transformed into an animal, often behaving like the animal into which they have transformed.

I have a thing for mermaids.
This pair of conjoined twin mermaids started life as an illustration I created on a cardboard book page shaped like a fish tail. You can see their heads fit into the tip of the tail; the caudel fin. Anyway, I decorated eight of these die-cut pages and sent them into a collaborative [...]]]></description>
