Red Hill Mining Town by Mary Ann Reilly
This art work was created in collaboration with Bradley Nichol We discovered that we are each U2 fans and decided to collaborate illustrating the songs from The Joshua Tree. This is the first work we have done together. The main image of the tree and stars is all Brad. I absolutely fell in love with the photograph and added the miners, lighting, and red. The image of the miners is public domain. Finally the song, “Red Hill Mining Town,” was written by Bono some say in response to the United Kingdom miner’s strike in 1984 when Maggie Thatcher closed “unprofitable” mines, placing already economically fragile families in peril.

The WIZ - Ease on down the road by DevineDayDreams
Subliminal though it may be, Desirée / Glanville speaks through her fantastic / fractal renderings and choice of music. / The Wiz – Ease on down the road, a / combination of fractals created with / Apophysis, is an example of her / music-inspired work. / A late seventies movie follow-up to a smash Broadway hit,The Wiz, / with its updated, urban Wizard of Oz theme, features characters / rising above their background and others’ expectations of them. / “Ease on Down the Road”, Desirée’s subtitle, is their road-trip theme song; sung by the late Michael / Jackson and Diana Ross, playing the scarecrow and Dorothy, respectively. The two joyfully make their / way down the yellow brick road, laughing, stumbling, and dancing, off to see “the Wiz” (the late Richard / Pryor). / Desirée strews our path with pink and yellow flowers and fantasy crystals, through which we see more / worlds. The landscape is draped in a muli-colored veil of dreams. Butterflies hover above, harbingers of / new life. / Dorothy, ultimately tells the Wiz, when he turns to her for help. ”…you’ll never find [what you’re looking / for] in the safety of this room. I tried that all my life. It doesn’t work. There’s a whole world out there. And / you’ll have to begin by letting people see who you really are.” / Is this Desirée’s message? As artists, getting out of that safe zone and letting others know who we really / are is probably where we begin to “ease on down the road”; the ultimate road trip to the pinnacle, where / the art of joy and the joy of art meet.

From Above by Andrew Davoll
As soon a s I saw this it looked to me like an aerial shot. I saw the early light shining at an angle to these tiny beads of liquid oozing out of the marine plywood of a soon to be restored boat. I thought of Tuscany or Provance and the small triangular trees so often seen on landscapes from those regions and wondered what they would look like from the air. I have been working on making a series of abstract images from boats at a Maylands boatyard where old boats in dry dock are brought back to life.
About This Group
Welcome one and all!
This is the group for showcasing your artworks and photo’s that give the viewer a chance to question the image.
A good example of this concept is the classic cartoon ‘double take’, where the character runs off a cliff and only on the second look do they realise there is no ground beneath them, so THEN they fall. Artists Picasso, Dali and Escher did some pioneering works in this area, so thinking along those lines and we’re on the same page!
This group celebrates work that you’ve created that engages the mind and makes the viewer feel an emotion in relation to seeing the “second thought”.
In case you were wondering…. We DO accept:
- Images with subliminal messages
- Work with an optical illusion/ image shifting aspect/ fractal work
- 3D stereograms (a 3D image hidden within another image)
- Hidden objects imagery/ Images with loads of little things going on at once
We DO NOT accept:
- Unfinished work
- Pictures of pets/ people
- Explicit/ blatantly offensive or sexual work.
That is: The basic rule is images must engage the viewer, so we don’t accept images that give everything away in the first glance…. Images must have artistic value, so we do not accept work that looks unfinished or is purely explicit. We do accept the human body as a form, but reject images that trivialize or degrade the human body and sexuality.
Also, we do delete multiples of similar images submitted from the same artist. If you submit multiples, please make sure to vary the type of works you add.
Also, if we delete your work from the group, do not get disheartened. We really want work to fit the group, so Bubblemail us if you are unsure whether your image will be accepted.
