    Dana commented about her first project:
    "I dressed the artist in a cape then I thought he looked like Dracula (but he didn't have those teeth). I choose a castle because Dracula lives in a castle. They come out at night - I wonder what they eat for breakfast?"
    On manipulating the image:
    "I brushed the dark blue sky with pink."
