celebrate with me by navybrat
wow….yes celebrate with me!! / It indeed has been a joyful year since I joined RedBubble!!! / It all started accidentally when I saw some beautiful sunset / photographs on a different site by Bamagirl… (thanks Bonita!!) From there on, I posted abstract works, simple photo-manipulations, mixed media (computer art plus acrylic and pastel paints) and a handful of photographs….(wasn’t really serious selling art on line at that time…or anything like spending precious hours doin digital art which I thought nobody would even care to take notice of……HA! I was wrong….VERY WRONG!! ) The likes of Helene Ruiz, Gili Orr, Nancy Chambers, Erhan, bamagirl, Tracey Mac and Mel Brackstone had encouraged me to join groups to get noticed… I received a lot of encouraging words from Danilo Lejardi, amorspainter, realpainter, Angel Warda, Chris Willis and Kai Marie Williams to go on with my heART!! Got my big break when two wonderful angels, Linaji and Terilee really noticed my talents as an digital abstract artist and poet that landed me as one of ADAWG’s featured artists. I wont forget friends like Martin Muir, Kreesor, Loreto Bautista, Liesbeth, Sally Omar, Jerry Alcantara, Ravensoul, Loisgreen, Amber Elizabeth, Heather Rivet, Rosa Cobos, Aspectsoftmk, Blamo, Red Addiction, Trena, Jennyfnf, DawnDavies, Valzart, Pat More,Judi Tailor, LisaG, lucindawind, jewelskings,Patricia Anne Mcarthy, CJ Lewis, TKrosevear, David Parkin, Michael Beers, Agness Mcguiness,Shelly Heibert, Irene Burdell, Jo Hoden, Artist4peace, Rosemaree, Isa Rodriguez, Doreen Phillips, GerryMac, Butchart, Susan Bergstrom, Lior Goldenberg, Joak, Christopher Birthwisle-Smith, Robin Monroe….and a hell lot more….for healing words when I was really down…and who really went out of their way sending me b-mails and personal e-mails…. Sorry, if I failed to mention some friends here….you all know who you are…please don’t get hurt, b-mail me and I’ll mention you…THANK YOU!! It also was and still is a great pleasure to be featured along side awesome artists like toastedghost, Randy Monteith, Cliff Vestigaard, Julie Langford, Shanina Conway, Mimi Yoon, frogster and Dale Crum Now, I’ve grown and matured digitally from making simple photo-manipulations to complicated ones as through the inspiration that RB has openly allowed me to….both as a person and an artist! I have had a lot of happy RB buyers like Dave Law, Tiamaria, ZeeZee, Sunshine0,liesbeth, AlexMac, DanaMS, Jansnow, Trena, Tammy Rosevear, David Parkin, Nancy Chambers, Susan Bergstrom, Lisa Hewitt, Romo,Angel Warda, Sylvia Tax and Mekea, who have had their faces or family members “manipulated to smitherins” by me…. Like to share this pleasure with new found friends like Shoiab, Junior Mclean, Taschja Hattigh, and maxoperandi and to ALL the new peepz in my watchlists The awesome support in my following groups…AMAZING GRAVES , Enchanting and Powerful Photo Manipulation , The Love of Eerie and Enchanting Artworks has likewise been stupendous!! Being here, has given me a different perspective in life…..gaining true friends….improving my heART and making this world a better place to live, well at least in my own artistic little way!! Once again THANK YOU RB community of FRIENDS!!!

LIVING in a NIGHTMARE by jacqleen
Cry Rape Scolding hot water burns my skin / Stings really bad, where your teeth dug in / Switched off my brain, I hear no sound / but feel the vibration of my heart pound / Try to close eyes to the things I see / but I still see the things that you did to me / Blood in the shower, comes from my palms / I’m holding myself, gripping my arms / Wrapping me up, so you can’t get inside / but you ripped me open and I couldn’t hide / I fought and screamed before you hit out / More exciting for you if I struggle and shout / I lay so still, staring out from beneath you, / you pawed me, groped me, fucked me raw too / Your body was heavy and it made me feel ill / You just kept banging, on at your will / My children next door I was so alert / Please don’t come in. Please don’ t get hurt / If they stayed asleep, they would never know / and you would forget them, and then just go / I kept trying to recite a prayer in my head / But all that kept coming was – I wish I was dead Why do I have this affinity with hell / That started before I knew how to tell / It began before I was only aged of four / and now I don’t think I can take anymore / I stand in this water and want it to end / but I go change the bed and ring a friend / Take me out, get me drunk, you’ve just been paid / Find me someone quick, so I can get laid / I need to feel like I have the control / But what good is a quick fix, if I don’t mend my soul So it happens again and it always will / until I see sense, till I’ve had my fill / Stay far away, from any danger or harm / Live a quiet life – celibate and calm / Then I let someone in, who says he’s my knight / and all seems so wonderful, so happy and right / But oh my god, what have I done? / Pick up my bags and my kids and run !! © RebeccaWeston 2009 This was written by my Beautiful and very Talented Friend “Becca”.. She is so Honest and Raw with her WORDS and presents them with such Emotion and Impact that one cannot help themseleves but to FEEL her journey … THANK YOU SO SO MUCH For Sharing Yourself and Talent with me and my images!!! LOTS of LOVEEEEEEE…..xxxx

Wednesday 1st July, 2009. / National Gallery of Victoria. / / Salvador Dali – Liquid Desire Exhibition / / / Salvador DALÍ / Spanish 1904–89, worked in United States 1940–48 / Soft self-portrait with grilled bacon 1941 / oil on canvas / 61.0×51.0 cm / Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí, Figueres / © Salvador Dalí, Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí, VISCOPY, 2009 / / How lucky are we? / Smack bang in the middle of winter, one can take a stroll from our city center and be at the door step of our world class art gallery in less than 15 minutes. / On this particular day, the gallery was a hub of expectant faces and excited art fans as an exhibition of over 200 of Salvador Dali’s works was on display. / / / / Should we complain about having to wait an hour in a queue to get into the exhibition… hell no!! / This is a world class exhibition and waiting is just part of the process. / I would’ve been quite happy to wait for two hours as the exhibition is a spectacular visual feast of Dali’s creative genius. / / / / The exhibition weaves its way through a series of doorways, passages and different shaped rooms. / Whoever designed the layout for this exhibition deserves high praise indeed! / The walls, whether painted with vertical stripes or furnished with a plush velvet red cushions, added perfectly to the atmosphere and created a warm artful environment where you felt as if you were part of something quite special. / / / / Dali’s works are laid out in chronological order, starting from his youth through to his senior years. / A definite highlight for me was a dark room set up with 6 or 7 old fashioned TV sets with streaming vision of Dali during various interviews and commercials he featured in. / How wonderful to hear his voice and see that eccentric sparkle in his eyes as he delivers a short but punchy dialogue in a commercial for Lanvin Chocolate! / / / / If there was ever a time you needed inspiration or wanted to soak in the awe of some unique and visionary art, this is an exhibition not to be missed. / Our National Gallery of Victoria has done it again, putting on an exhibition of this proportion would take some funding and organisation, what superb work they do! / / / / My final word about this experience will come straight from the heart as a gushing fan of Dali’s work. / I could not get enough in one walk through, I’ll be going back to absorb more of his brilliance. / Whether it be through his sketches, photography, painting or jewellery. Dali was a unique, creative force that ploughed through the existing artistic boudaries and showed us all the true visual meaning of surrealism. / / / Salvador DALÍ / Spanish 1904–89, worked in United States 1940–48 / Dematerialization near the nose of Nero 1947 / oil on canvas / 76.4×46.0 cm / Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí, Figueres / © Salvador Dalí, Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí, VISCOPY, 2009 / / All images used with permission / / My biggest and warmest thanks goes to Sue Coffey and Alison Murray of the NGV! :D

Not Lost by LostLens
I often find myself saying those two words when asked by my navigator/co-pilot/girlfriend while behind the wheel. Alida Storm’s family took that to heart when carving her headstone in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, yes, THE Sleepy Hollow Cemetery as made legendary by Washington Irving, bringing that quaint town on the eastern side of the Hudson in New York to fame. I find this particular cemetery to be very peaceful, almost park-like compared to other ones I’ve been to. Perhaps it’s because I don’t have any loved ones resting here, but then again, how can you feel bad at a cemetery that lets you hike and fish on the grounds?
