“It had been a long and sleepless night. Our bodies ached from the long journey into the jungle. Treasure hunting wasn’t turning out as much fun as we thought. The distant call of the Toucan was enough to wake the dead. Even though the night air was cool, I still woke up in a lather of sweat. As the sun peeked over the horizon it gradually lit up the cave…..what the new morning sunlight revealed to us just took our breath away…............” Macro photograph taken from the bark of a Palm tree.

Old beverage bottles and saw blades in sepia tell a colorful story of life in an old Montana ghost town. This was taken in an abandoned building located in Garnet, Montana, using only the available natural light. Part of my Ghost Town series. These make handsome cards.

Some amazing ancient carvings can be found amongst the ruins of Angkor Wat in Cambodia. After many centuries of abandonment many ruins have almost been completely taken over by nature. This little carving seemed to be almost accentuated by this process.

©Seth F.Weaver,Sr. 01/21/08. A DigiMix™ work. I felt while working on this piece it had a Roman/Greek feel to it with its shiny golden colors. It perhaps was worn by some ancient warrior, since half of it was bashed in, or a religious artifact, used in worship of some demi-god. Thanks for looking, Seth.

back in the day, it seemed like everyone had a father, uncle or grandfather that had a car like this…you would be swallowed up by the back seat, taking trips to exotic locations that, while we always muttered “are we there yet,” would one day wish we could go back in time to savor every one of those lost moments…

“My Native Parchment Series” © Brad Michael Moore 2008—I did not do a historical study and image search of ancient parchments before I began this series. I tried to remember what I know. This series is idealistic. Many true parchments are filled with cracking, holes, extreme fading and bleed-through. The earlier papers were not white – but gray and yellow an very pulpish. Like any drawing made going on through history, often, the edges were left unworked so to provide some working surface space for testing medium, notes, imperfections and so on. The inside of animal hides were first used… Paper made from wood pulp was well along when the Monastery Monks began to do their color illustrations – boarders were fairly standard – and within their illustrations – especially the color ones, no space was left untouched. These works would have light colored boarders. Many an illustration’s life began bounded in a book – later to be pilfered by criminals, and those who lust for what they cannot create for themselves. These pages got rolled, folded, hidden, sometime in caves, behind stones, under earth for periods, or open to elements in porous enclosed spaces, available to insects, rodents, and finally age. One of my works is a stack of parchments, by intention. So, in truth, most old parchments are monotoned – center to edge, except for their painting and calligraphy. Crumpling would destroy any old parchment – they would have been most damaged in their earliest times of pliability – before being lost, forsaken, or forlorn. Sometimes, to better protect a parchment of importance, it was rebounded, or rolled in other parchments or leathers – and indeed, the hides of animals themselves were still used as writing material and more often, as protective coverings for the more fragile documents and maps as they came to be known. The idea of hide usage is suggested in several works including the, “Canyonlands” piece. Even today – some artists buy materials from fabric markets and paint on the backside of those materials – as if they were man-made hide. This piece looks like such, but, actually, its rock with some bone…

This clockwork bug is on a mission. Although a little wayward, it can survive on the chemical energy in the blood of living creatures, so it does not need to be recharged frequently. Made of copper and brass, and the size of an average dog, it is not the strongest mechanical animal of the artificer, but it is suited to its role. When I finish its story, I’ll also add another layer of detail into the bug, and probably a cooler background, LOL!
