Mannequin by egold
Mannequin (noun). / Dummy, lay figure, manikin, artificial person, model of the body, “little man”. The word comes from the Dutch/German word “manneken” , literally meaning “little man”. “Mannequin” is the French form… I always knew that artificial people have their own secret life, hidden from our eyes. Like among us their life is a challenge. Everyone wants to achieve something, get a first place in life competition… But it’s a long line of competitors on that way and only one wins the first prize – the place in shop-window. May be it will be the best in line… may be not… Thanks to 57mannequins from deviantart.com for this “little man”. / The middle mannequin – from last Christmas window decoration of Bergdorf & Goodman store in New York.

Score by egold
Score (noun). / 1. A usually numerical record of a competitive event; / 2. The act of securing an advantage, especially a surprising or significant gain; / 3. A grievance that is harbored and requires satisfaction; / 4. The written form of the composition for orchestral or vocal parts; / 5. The music written for a movie or a play; / And many other definitions in our life… Life is a competition. And in this competition, in this game with a name LIFE everyone has a SCORE. Sometimes your score is even more important than you. For some individuals your score is only a characteristic of your personality… Look around and you see what’s going on… Here is the mirror. It doesn’t like you and says: Get out, don’t look at me! Here are the people. They don’t like you and say: Get away, you’re damaging our landscape! Here is the person. He doesn’t know you and not talking to you. He has no any interest to you because he doesn’t know your LIFE SCORE… But somewhere are different mirrors, and different people, and different person. They will be able to see the most important things in your personality. And they will say: How wonderful are you, stay with us… Just find these people – it’s not so difficult… Life… competition… game… numbers… score… What’s more important than you, yourself, for yourself, and all around you… Thanks to: / 57mannequins from deviantart.com for this “little man” / thatestock from deviantart.com for the “torso mannequin”; / Falln_Stock from deviantart.com for the antique piano from the Texas museum. / The middle mannequin – from last Christmas window decoration of Bergdorf & Goodman store in New York

Horsing around... by egold
Everywhere in Vaduz can be seen great art pieces. This city is a museum of modern sculpture. / Here are "Tre Cavalli" (2002) statues of horses by Swiss born world famous artist and sculptor Nag Arnoldi in front of the Vaduz Town Hall. / Nag Arnoldi was born in Ticino, the Italian speaking part of Switzerland, in 1928. Following his artistic training, he was awarded a diploma of theatre costume and dress design in Milan. Exhibitions devoted to Pablo Picasso and the German expressionists helped Arnoldi develop his own personal artistic vision. Painting, graphics, ceramics and glass became the means used in a relentless quest which found its ultimate expression in sculpture.

Limbo by Luke Majewski
OK, so that’s SP and there’s a band named Limbonic Art I used to listen to a lot once upon a time. One of their lyric I associated with this work and this is where the title comes from. Song’s title “Voyage of the damned” [damn, that sounds scary :)) ], it’s rather bad in my opinion, not worth the listening, but here’s the Lyric ;) “Where can we find, the wisdom we need / What is the cure, when the soul bleed / Show me the powers, that you offers me / But even stronger than death, it must be It is so cold and dark down here, / In this supernatural darkness. / My mind is my asylum. / A dungeon of tormenting silence. Voices, leading into the night. / The last agony is at sight. Staring into blackness, beyond the heavens end / Praying in the shadows, is death the only friend / In ancient starlight I lay, the soul rotten from decay. / No love was strong enough, so life drifted just astray. Darkness demands life, be this victim of sacrifice. / In endless pain the soul is lost, a solitary holocaust. One night before the dark morning”

Drawn entirely with the numbers of the clock, 1 – 12. The original is a 3.5” x 2” numberism trading card, drawn with micron pens on illustrator board.

Let It End by RavenSoul
Even as the light begins to fade, / and my soul drifts away / I pray, / Let it end… As I draw one final breath / Look into my eyes / Watch as death pulls away the colors of life, / as my eyes begin to fade to black. For only a moment you connect / You realize you see a part of you / Hiding here… in me. / Yvonne Emerson 2009 Close ups
