'Hope'

Scott Bricker

'Hope'

for all my new friends, and friends to be, at RedBubble…
of 700 or so pieces up, this is the most viewed and faved on my dA site; at RB also (by far!!!)...that’s Hope-full!

1/16/09- a re-dedication: as Obama is about to be sworn in, hope-fully the era of the evil dinosaurs will end, and our tears will be tears of Joy, not from fears of war…I Hope… Scott

”...I don’t wanna, hear nothin’ else, about killin’
And that it’s God’s will…” (Dixie Chicks)

what part of “thou shall NOT kill” don’t we understand???

may we all find the Hope we need, and share it…......

please have a look and a listen (EXELLENT sound & video)...

‘I Hope”, by the Dixie Chicks…

Sunday morning, I heard the preacher say
Thou shall not kill
I don’t wanna, hear nothin’ else, about killin’
And that it’s God’s will
Cuz our children are watching us
They put their trust in us
They’re gonna be like us
So let’s learn from our history
And do it differently

CHORUS:
I hope
For love, joy and laughter
I hope
We’ll have more than we’ll ever need
I hope
We’ll have more happy ever afters
I hope
We can all live more fearlessly
And we can lose all the pain and misery
I hope, I hope

Oh Rosie, her man he gets too rough
And all she can say, is he’s a good man
He don’t mean no harm
He was just brought up that way
But our children are watching us
They put their trust in us
They’re gonna be like us
It’s okay for us to disagree
We can work it out lovingly

For I hope
For love, joy and laughter
I hope
You’ll have more than you’ll ever need
I hope
You’ll have more happy ever afters
I hope
And you can all live more fearlessly
And you can lose all your pain and misery
I hope, I hope

There must be a way to change what’s going on
No, I don’t have all the answers, but
I hope
For more love, more joy and laughter
I hope
you’ll have more than you’ll ever need
I hope
There’ll be more happy ever afters
I hope

the Dixie Chicks

  • Ann  Van Breemen

    Ann Van Breemen

    This is beautiful, Scott. No wonder it’s so popular. A bit different to what I’ve seen so far. It’s like a piece of jewelry. I’m new to this kind of art. Haven’t tried it yet myself, but have downloaded a couple of programs. Which one do you use and recommend and how long does something like this take to do?:)

  • Scott Bricker replied

    hiya Ann, sorry for the slow response…
    give it a try! play, play, play! This was done with Apophysis 3dHack (free)...don’t recall how long this one took, but it varies from only a few minutes, to hours…Sterling 2 is also cool, gives entirely different stuff (free) Here is a good place for fractal resources on devientART….Fractal Resourses
    Enjoy!
