BLOOD GARDENS Toil and toil / Toil and toil / The blood from my hands / The sweat from my brow / Nourish this garden of my creation. Paul Alleyne -2/25/08
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.”
Come. Travel with me down this dark lonely road / This is the road to Valhala / This road littered with 50 million corpse of young brave, / forced to fight wars waged by greedy, power-hungry, old worthless men / Let us honor these young men, / who sacrificed so much / Let us worship them, / who lived true and died brave, / as they rest their broken bodies on this dark, lonely road to Valhala. Paul Alleyne 08/22/08
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.
“Beyond the Red Gate lies the city of Valhala / -a place where brave young men go to die / -and the putrid smell of decaying flesh and dried bones permeate the air.” Image is a compilation of three photographs, (bird, landscape and fingueson the horizon), and a constructed image of the red gate with the stylised posts. Compiled elements are fused together using photoshop CS2 to creative image.
No sense of smell / No sense of taste / No eyes to see / Or, ability to hear I have lost my Vision / I am locked in darkness / No light / No way out / No one to hear my pleas / I must find my own way out of this mental trap To see again / To hear / To smell / To taste / Restoring my vision is what sustains my life.
This Ephemeral Healing Painting was painted for Paul (Quixote) Alleyne – And he wishes to share his poem Jacob’s Ladder with us all…......... I looked up to see Jacobs Ladder extended to me / I reach for it with weary arms and tired legs / And climb into the heavens / Pulling myself up, / rung after rung, after rung, after rung Alas! / I can now rest after my long difficult journey / Thru the wilderness of earth / Where all light is gone / And only darkness remain / and I can no longer find my way, / Thru this swamp of pain and loneliness Words by Paul Alleyne11/14/08 You have been placed on our healing list and we shall think of you daily! If you wish me to send this painting to you by email please let me / know. May 8th 2009
“Badges?... We don’t need no… stinkin’ badges!” is one of the most frequently quoted, misquoted, and parodied movie quotations in history. In 2005, it was chosen as #36 on the American Film Institute list, AFI’s 100 Years… 100 Movie The original quotation comes from the 1948 film The Treasure of the Sierra Madre with Humphrey Bogart. In one of the scenes in the movie a Mexican bandit leader (Gold Hat played by Alfonso Bedoya) is trying to convince Fred C Dobbs (played by Bogart) and company that they are the Federales. / Dobbs: ‘If you’re the police where are your badges?’ / Gold Hat: ‘Badges? We ain’t got no badges. We don’t need no badges! I don’t have to show you any stinkin’ badges!’[1] / This in turn was adapted from B Traven’s 1927 novel upon which the movie was based: “All right,” Curtain shouted back. “If you are the police, where are your badges? Let’s see them.” “Badges, to god-damned hell with badges! We have no badges. In fact, we don’t need badges. I don’t have to show you any stinking badges, you god-damned cabrón and ching’ tu madre! Come out from that shit-hole of yours. I have to speak to you.”
Inspired by my visit to the Dallas Zoo. / A combined 3 digital photographs and Photoshop created images, merged to form this surreal piece.
