Stock pic of BG provided by Don Wright. http://www.eyefetch.com/image.aspx?ID=651251 “The childhood memories(or flashbulb pictures as they are commonly referred to) of my parents are all larger than life, looming demons of fury. Twisted angry faces, lunging at me quicker than I can get away from them, hands grabbing me, hitting me, HURTING me. Huge features…the point of view from the child who is physically much smaller than they are. I always try and remember that when I am dealing with my daughter. Get down on the floor…don’t tower over her when I’m angry. Fear is not want I want her to remember me by. / / It’s in me though…there have been moments of pure rage and fury when I have wanted to pick her up and force her to do my bidding. I walk away…I give myself a time out instead of giving her one. I found her in my arms once with that look on her face….she was scared. / I wanted to throw up. / I live everyday comparing myself to my parents. I’ve learned everything I should NEVER do from them. / If I do the opposite of what they would have done we might just be O.K. /

With every brush stroke, a dark figure appears, / Blacks and grays blend in one color, / Leaving behind the shape of Alison’s soul, / Just as it was after the loss of innocence, / Just as it was after an eternity of fear and horror. / / The beauty of Alison exists today, / but with her protector helping her on the way. / Alison’s soul is visible to my eyes, my mind. / She is beauty, caring, warm and loving / She has been all but wiped out but from this life / And as I look at this painting she is screaming to come out. / / “Alison’s soul” is a painting dedicated to the loss of innocence / the unspeakable crimes that betray love and trust. Any sales of items related to this piece will be donated to help abused children. The original is an oil on canvas 22” x 30”

Forgiveness not forgotten
by tkrosevearI forgave you yesterday for hurtful words / today, I compromised for affection / I’ll forgive you tomorrow / and lose more faith in my belie…
Back in 1992, I wrote this quote in my journal, “Forgiveness is a courageous attempt to add steps to the ladder of the future. To forgive oneself is the doorway to heaven and the challenge of lives to come.” I cannot remember who the author was, but this quote is a part of my daily routine - / I forgive myself for what I’ve done yesterday, today and tomorrow! / In my counseling efforts the issue of forgiveness is always misconstrued, that in order to forgive you must embrace the person forgiven – this is NOT to say you need live with them, tolerate future abuse, or forget the lessons learned from this relationship. I guess that this particular belief is what sparked the inspiration for this writing at 2am this morning. / I am hopeful that someone struggling with Self-Esteem earns their presence and ability to hold themself in enough regard and strength NOT to compromise themself for Survival, Affection or Success! / Peace~ Imagine my surprise today 5/6/09, when my sweet sister DevineDay Dreams created created this beautiful artwork to accompany this poem…

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE / By: DALE CRUM / Obsession… takes Possession… / and too often ends in Oppression / The Silence of Violence… is maintained by the Ultimate Strength… of Weakness / There is no Greater a COWARDLY ACT than for a “man” to beat a woman. / There are REAL MEN… the ones like me who HAVE NOT placed…AND WILL NOT place my hands on a woman in a violent fashion…then there are the COWARDS… if YOU are one of them… You are the lowest form of humanity… and no better than a beast… may your payback be swift… and at least as violent… as that which you have perpetrated upon the precious Lady or Ladies who trusted you. If you have the guts to even look at my art… then here is a MIRROR for you to see… and feel what you have done to them… / When her trust was crushed by your fist in her tender loving eye… when you used your strength as a weapon of cowardly control… when you screamed in her precious face… when you locked away her fearful heart… you killed… you murdered a little girl’s dreams of love… you placed her in a dark domestic prison.. and became her warden.. may the wrath of Almighty God fall upon YOU! / Hell is far too gentle a place for your evil kind. *Victims…GET OUT… and May the loving hand of God heal your fractured soul… and grant you to know… what a REAL MAN is… and how a REAL MAN LOVES. I poured my soul into this one for the Love of Wounded Ladies.

So many dead, abused, neglected kids in the news lately. The worst thing is it’s probably just the tip of the iceberg. Don’t think that it’s not your problem, or it’s not worth getting involved. Don’t think that it’s someone else’s responsibility to report it. It’s important to be the voice of the kids who can’t speak up for themselves. When everyone turns a blind eye – we are telling these kids their life is worth nothing. Ignoring abuse amounts to tolerance. Call child services. Call the police. Call their school. Talk to your government representative. Let it be known that child welfare is something we want our taxes spent on. Be strong and persistent until the children of our community are safe. THIS SHIRT SELLS AT BASE PRICE. / I will redesign for anyone who want’s something different.

Fear and Despair is a series of works based on the basic human emotion of fear, while touching on depressive moods. It explores the concept that spirits live among us and that their presence can be felt in the physical world, often manifesting as deep and powerful emotions. There are numerous references in the work, the grays, who appeared in the previous series A boy and his monster. Nosferatu’s version of Dracula. The Hatted Hunter, who appeared in the previous work The Relentless Pursuer. And finally Zombie who is a reoccurring character, best known for his appearances in the works Trinity of the Self and The Weight of a Heavy Burden. The Pursuer is from a reoccurring series of dreams where a man without a face follows the artist constantly with an outstretched arm. It is thought that this being if a symbol for a sexual prowler, as there has been stories of him appearing in the dreams of other people that have been sexually abused in their life. Ink and an inkjet print on photographic quality cotton paper / 2008 / The Relentless Pursuer / Digital manipulation / 2006 / The Man of my Nightmares / Pen on paper / 2006

Shadows of a Memory explores the pain that is associated with mental, physical and even sexual abuse. All of us experience an aspect of this pain at some level. We all tend to hide it and many of us never confront the cause. © 2007. Comments welcome. Limited edition (10) archival prints are available from my web site: DAViD M. ALLeN This image was created using Poser, LightWave 3D and Photoshop. It combines both 3D rendered models, my own photos (6) and one photo that I have permission to use (butterflies and flowers © Sandra Torregrosa-Allen). The background texture is made of 4 different layered photos (close up images of natural textures). Text was handwritten within Photoshop using a 6×9 Intuos 2 tablet.

This painterly photo has distinctive images. I see the profile of a horse’s head with a white and blue face on the left side and his nostril in the middle. Another striking eye with contrasting color is on the right. The pastel colors are quite striking with great lighting and vivid colors. The bark of trees offers us surprising imagery after focusing on the illustrations under the veneer of peeling bark. It is truly nature’s “secret canvas.” The blue horse looks like he might have a small tear in his beautiful blue eye considering the fate of his equine friends who have been abused, neglected and killed due to human consumption and greed. I am an active animal activist and donate any proceeds I receive from my photography to groups to preserve animals, both wildlife and domestic. I will upload an editorial I wrote on the crisis affecting Mustangs and have contributed to many organizations to stop the brutality and violence against these majestic creatures. I admire everyone who is active in fightening the cruelty that has victimized our precious wildlife with some species at great risk of extinction. Our planet’s ecosystem also is in great peril suffering the consequences of man’s destruction of the natural environment.
