Two actual digital photographs. One of a clump of trees on a dreary day and another of the lovely tulips. I thought it showed that even when things seem dull and hopeless, there is always something to hold on to

The Light / The Light / Do you see the light? / Squint — squint some more. Ahh! Yes, I see it now / Finally! / It is so bright. / Like liquid flames dancing in my head / Its long elegant fingers are beckoning me to come to it / To come closer still Should I go to it? / I am afraid. / Should I bathe my soul in its purity? Do not be afraid. / Do not run from it. / Do not hesitate. / Do not draw back from it. / Go to it now. / Your only chance to bask in its warmth / Dance it its glorious ecstasy / And cleanse your soul / Just like I did, a long time ago / Paul Alleyne 12/08/07 ” Using Photoshop CS2, I merged 5 digital photo images, partially edited then cropped and positioned each image alongside or on top of another image to form this one surrealist image, which along with the written words representing renewal of spirit, with hope for the future.”

They say change is coming! It comes / Like a thief in the darkest of nights / Or, a hurricane whenever it pleases; / knocking you down, / creating fear in your heart / and doubt in your mind The only change I see / is what’s in my hands / And, I can’t buy bread with it anymore. What change? !! / A combination of 3 digital images merged and edited to create a surreal atmospheric event. Also supports the poem written before the image was created.

Well it started as a photo of my friend sitting by the trash smoking a cigarette….when the picture was up loaded she did not like it because she wanted to be wearing her pumps. I assured her I could use the Paint application and simply draw some heels on her shoes….and I guess I got carried away….and now it’s a stricking resembalance to Klimt’s painting of the Jezzabelle from back in the Vienna Secession days.

From the “Black Butterfly: The Muse” series. Grace #1 of 3 The 3 Graces: Aglaia (radiance) Euphrosyne (joy) Thalia (flowering) It was the poet Hesiod who named the Graces in his Theogony: “Then Eurynome, Ocean’s fair daughter, bore to Zeus the three Graces, all fair-cheeked, Aglaia, Euphrosyne, and shapely Thalia; their alluring eyes glance from under their brows, and from their eyelids drips desire that unstrings the limbs.” From a reference photo by Rolling Stone magazine photographer Baron Wolman. Groupie Karen Seltenrich, San Francisco, Nov. 1968. Image was used in a New York Times article “When we tell you what a Groupie is, will you really understand?” Charcoal on Mylar film, 20×16” I saw these photos and fell in love with them – Baron was so gracious to allow me to use them. I added the flowers and butterflies, from a pattern on scented drawer liners. Here is a quote from Baron about the groupies: “As concert promoter Bill Graham has given me all access to any of the concerts he produced, I spent quite a bit of time backstage with the bands, their roadies and their women. What fascinated me were the lengths to which the women, the groupies, went to prepare themselves for their backstage appearances. Because I also wanted an excuse to photograph them, I suggested to Jann they might make an interesting story. He agreed and Rolling Stone Magazine No. 27 became known as “the groupie issue.” It was widely promoted, read and commented upon, even turned into a book.” -Baron Wolman While the rest of the models I’ve used in the series are in the arts themselves, I was intrigued with the idea of groupies – and their intrigue with rock & roll artists of the late 1960’s. It seems to me they were using their own bodies and persona as an art form to attract their artistic “muses.” I guess you could consider some of the works in my Black Butterfly series “Cover Tunes.” I believe the borrowed references are vital to the series to relate the idea of inspiration, and its relation to talent and celebrity. These “tunes” well deserve a stylish, honorable replay. Many thanks to the talented people who have loaned their vision of the muse to aid me in illustrating my ideas.

Me and Jacob (15) been playing!! we’re having an ongoing debate in our house regarding how Jacob should wear his hair… Dad wants an afro, lol, but I’m not so sure. (Jacob wants cornrows of some sort.) We thought we would play around and see how it looks. (This kind of work is definitely not my strong suit, but I had fun!!)
