Inside The Maturation Chamber by Philip Mitchell Graham
Digital composite image of original pen and ink elements. Hard for even me to believe that pen and ink can be made to look like brilliant metal. I can almost smell this place. / I’d like to say that this is a simply constructed image, but it isn’t. I was using some relatively simple layering and scaling techniques, but tweaking the elements to get the most out of them proved challenging. Using an exact vanishing point did not provide the best results so each quadrant had to be tuned to archive the illusion of perspective. / I intended to put in a general shadowing effect to increase the illusion of depth, but it occurred to me that this structure if real would disorientate the observer and make depth perception difficult, especially if all the surfaces were back lit with diffuse light. So ignore any inconsistencies in depth and ‘pretend’ what you are seeing is the entrances of two massive brightly lit tunnels.

Inspired by poetry: What was he saying and to whom / by Alan Michael Parker What was he saying and to whom? / With a silver thermos he left the building; / He paused in the courtyard and turned. / What was he saying and to whom? The building at dawn not yet a building / Paused the way all buildings do. / What was he saying and to whom? Time doesn’t stop; time doesn’t wait; / Time has never moved. / What was he saying and to whom? If the dog had been sleeping / She would not have awakened, / So small was the moment to lose. / What was he saying and to whom? What was he saying and to whom? / The courtyard at dawn was the same / As the sky, the sky swept clean by the moon. / What was he saying and to whom? Good morning, good-bye, I love you, I’ll try. / What was he saying and to whom? Model my fave! Music-Jim Croce

Helix by arvyart
The Helix civilization was brute and sinking in blood. The civilization was so called because of their numerous temples that had natty spiroid steps that also served as the roof. The steps were a place where they celebrated bloody orgies. Little Lizzy was a lovely girl of all heart. That is why she was selected as a victim at the main temple. Now poor girl stumbled up a spiroid steps. She was so deathly afraid and out of breath. The bloodthirsty chief powwow with a ratty-bloody hair and big knife in his hand was hot on her heels. The steps gradually turned narrower as they led higher. Finally, Lizzy reached the very top and also end of the steps. There was the End. She kneeled down and sobbed her heart out. Tears welled up in her eyes and her wail tore heart to pieces. It was heartbreaking to see her so unhappy. The cup was filled up! Heaven was shaken to its foundations. A Heavenly Angel came down took Lizzy and flapped away. Huge tornados created by his powerful wings crashed away the ill civilization. The temples turned very tiny and were given to snails as their peaceful living houses. This snail shell has been captured in Lithuania. Enjoy its intricate beauty!

I spent a great afternoon in an aircraft boneyard and captured some close up images I knew I would compile into what I call ‘Aviabstraction’. I love the patina, the fittings, shapes, colours and graphics… tragic I know…

The Phoenix Arts Community is still reeling from the news that one of its own, Rose Johnson, has died in Bali, indonesia. The Jakarta Post is reporting that Johnson most probably died from acute alcohol poisoning as a result of ingesting liquor that had been laced with methanol. Also known as methyl alcohol or wood spirits, methanol is a toxic form of alcohol that is used industrially in antifreeze, fuel, and solvents. The Post also notes that this is the 23rd fatality from the poisonous alcohol mixture in less than 10 days; Johnson was the second foreign fatality attributed to the tainted alcohol, according to the report. Johnson was born in Coventry, England, in 1960 and moved to Arizona in 1986, where she lived in a tiny Phoenix apartment with just her bed and her art materials. “For me, and for artists, there is a drive to search and find out not just who you are, but about life and why we are here,” she said in a 1995 Arizona Republic story. “I have never been able to decide whether the drive to search turns you into an artist, or whether being an artist drives you to search.” Johnson moved to Bisbee in 1998 and became a prominent member of the art scene in that town. A gentle, well-loved and respected person, Johnson painted a number of murals in the Phoenix area, but while living there, she said, her paintings were heavy and gray, a reflection of the concrete, congestion and pollution of the city. “When I moved to Bisbee it was like I was lifted off the ground,” she said. “My figures started to fly, and my colors came back.” Johnson painted her distinctive, fantasy-based figurative work on both canvas and in mural form, including a mural featured in Sunset Magazine, entitled Sleepwalking, on the side of Bisbee’s old Jonquil Motel. Trips to Bali had inspired Johnson’s most recent work. Her last series. and believed to be her personal favorite, “Beautiful Bali” were created celebrating her love of the spirit, people, and the place of Bali. It was her lifelong dream to go to Bali, and there she found much love and peace, with renewed inspiration for her. I was lucky enough to stumble upon one of Rose Johnson’s beautiful creations while vacationing in Bisbee last year. Ironically, this very image was selected in May 2009 as a Featured Work in the group American Southwest and was a winning photograph as voted on by Arizona group members in the Colorful Casas challenge, and selected as the Group’s Avatar in June 2009. Rest in Peace, sweet soul, Rose Johnson; one of my personal inspirations whom I respected and admired very much. This is one of her paintings, Desert Flight Over Patchwork. Beautifully symbolic, don’t you think?

Still life photography can be accepted if the TEXTURE of the objects are stressed !
This group is not about BLURRED PHOTOGRAPHY,so please, do submit work which is in focus .
