Artist's Description
High on my list of things to see in Egypt when I was in Aswan was Abu Simbel, one of the greatest of the Nubian Monuments. This temple to Ramses II was carved from solid rock in the 13th century BC. The intent as it looked southward, was to remind Egypt's neighbors that their king, a living god, was a formidable foe.

About Mark Tisdale
Life is full of happy surprises. After just over a decade working in the 9 to 5 cube world, I threw caution to the wind to follow my dreams of being a full time visual artist.
