This is another shot that I took on the 5th of May as part of the 24 hours of flickr. It is the shot of Australias own (or better my own, since it is in my backyard) Hills Hoist that was prominently featured at the 200 Olympics Opening Ceremony. / And now I have to learn that it was not even an Australian Invention: Taken from Wikipedia: / “The Hills Hoist is an Australian version of the rotary clothes line, the distinguishing feature of which is a crown and pinion winding mechanism invented by Adelaide based Lance Hill in 1945. This allows this clothesline to be lowered and raised. The rotary clothes line itself had been invented as early as 1855, diagrams of which were published in Scientific American that year. This style of clothes line was popularised in Australia by Lance Hill and is a common sight in Australian and New Zealand backyards. It is considered one of Australia’s most recognisable icons, and is used frequently by artists as a metaphor for suburbia in Australia. For many post-war baby boomers it is a symbol of their childhood and an Australian national icon. / It is widely (and incorrectly) believed by the public to be an Australian invention.However, other Australian and American precursors existed decades before it was produced in 1945 in the Adelaide suburb of Glenunga by Lance Hill.” Please also visit my website alexkess.com and my photoblog . Cheers and Thanks, Alex

One of life’s little pleasures…running through the clean sheets on the line. My twin sis and I used to love this as kids, much to Merley Pearl’s annoyance. I still do it occassionally, much to…well, no one’s annoyance! For enquires about canvas prints, or photographic prints larger than Redbubble options, please contact me via bubblemail

Ok, this is a pic of what a typical Aussie backyard used to be like before people started building houses right on top of each other. Of course it’s never usually this frosty looking…but….whilst I was racking my brain trying to come up with a name for it I started singing the song “Down Under” by Men At Work, so that’s what I called it. / / Down Under by Men At Work / / Traveling in a fried-out combie / On a hippie trail, head full of zombie / I met a strange lady, she made me nervous / She took me in and gave me breakfast / And she said, / / “Do you come from a land down under? / Where women glow and men plunder? / Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder? / You better run, you better take cover.” / / Buying bread from a man in Brussels / He was six foot four and full of muscles / I said, “Do you speak-a my language?” / He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich / And he said, / / “I come from a land down under / Where beer does flow and men chunder / Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder? / You better run, you better take cover.” / / Lying in a den in Bombay / With a slack jaw, and not much to say / I said to the man, “Are you trying to tempt me / Because I come from the land of plenty?” / And he said, / / “Oh! Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah) / Where women glow and men plunder? / Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder? / You better run, you better take cover.”

Another acrylic

Acrylic on canvas, 16×20 inches. This painting is actually a late stage extension of my childhood sexual abuse painting series. The image came to me during a meditation at a time when I began to retreat back into myself and away from others. Until then I had been trying to shed my isolationist tendencies. The face is mine, distorted but still distinct. The ribbons could be viewed as something coming untied or undone, but they are still quite elegant when moving in the winds of change swirling around. The “No Parking” sign signifies that I wasn’t letting anyone stop and stay any longer. Unfortunately, childhood sexual abuse has long and lingering effects. My hardest to overcome stigma is my tendency to isolate myself from others both emotionally and physically. If interested, you can see the entire abuse series at http://www.gjefle-art.com/abuse/abuse-index.htm You can also see this paintings “sister” piece here on Redbubble. / / ~

Red pants and panties on a line. Wayne D. King’s images are a celebration of life, blending the real and the surreal to achieve a sense of place or time that reaches beyond the moment into a dreamlike quintessentialism designed to spark an emotional response. Using digital enhancement, handcrafting, painting, and sometimes even straight photography, King seeks to take the viewer to a place that is beyond simple truth to where truth meets passion, hope and dreams. Wayne King blogs about various aspects of his work, his ideas and his images at UnifiedVisions.Blogspot.com; OpportunityAfrica.Blogspot.com and AfricanPhotoJourney.Blogspot.com. He blogs about his photographic work including tips on their creation at his “Mindscapes” Blog, http://Photoexpressionist.blogspot.com © Wayne D.

A vectorized version of this photo made into a t-shirt! I spent almost a week converting the photo into vector format, and in the process, I removed anything that made the troopers recognizable as action figures. Yay! DETAIL:
