A compilation of photography and illustration for something new and fun. This photo was turned into an advertisement for a condom company.
Drawn 2008. Age 21. Drawn with a blue biro pen and a blue colouring pencil… and a slight coat of polish in Photoshop. That there, holding tightly to the cave. is a Plar. / Plars are intriguing little creatures. Beneath their small and fragile form… and past their big alluring eyes… is a courageous and determined spirit. I’m writing a book on them at the moment, a children’s book… So i like to think of this image and my other previous Plar drawings as playful ideas and concept art This scene is an important one… The Plar doesn’t see a furious beast, he sees a reflection of himself; he sees a creature that is saddened by loneliness. The dragon is feared by animals, hunted by warriors and greedily sought for their thick scales. It is a creature that is forever cursed by its majesty. .. Doomed to live and die alone. / This Plar, however, can see past the Dragon’s evil exterior; he can look beyond the teeth, the claws and the mighty roars. He doesn’t see rage… He sees sorrow and sadness… He sees loneliness. This is why this Plar has climbed high into the sky to the Dragon’s cave… This is why he has picked the rarest flower and offered it as a gift… This is the Plar’s loving gesture.

Kind of a fun one…. I had this idea of the petals falling into the water, than I thought of put my friend in there. He says… “She loves me, she loves me not, she loves me!” Pretty cute, hey….:-) / / Used Photoshop to blend the two images and cut the petals off and rearrange them. This reminds me of September because of the song “Will I see you in September”. He’s hoping she still loves him. Hope you like! Add me to your watch list now

[portrait taken in Natural Light] : 16/11/2008 [AS IS] I was walking from one village to the next, in Remote Nigeria. one of the team noticed this young girl following us for some time. I stopped and spoke to her through an interpretor. We learned that she was 13 years old and caring for three younger Sisters. As she told us here story, I Felt compelled to return to her village. There we met her three younger sisters in the most extreme poverty. Both Parents were dead and no other living relatives. We spoke to the village Chief and the elders who pleaded with us to help the family. We did, as God lead us to and blessed her with clothing, and the following day we sent two of our field workers to meet with her and now they have a small regular income from our mission funds. UPDATE 5-8-2009. Mary is now at School. We pay her school fees adn her three younger sisters are well and happy. We need help with Susan, aged 9. She wants to go to school also. We need help with school fees, uniform adn text books. Can you help? will you Help?

Grace looks at me with eyes of love and hope, as we explain to her that we will get medicines that will make her better. Grace is very ill and has intestinal worms. Here in developed countries If a child is sick with worms, a doctor will provide medicines to cure that child. they will get the best treatment possible. But in Tunga/Zuga, there is no Doctor and the nearest hospital is a grueling 40plus miles away. even then if the family has no money, the child will be refused treatment, except on rare occasions. Many Children here die from worm infection mainly caused by drinking polluted water. When the well dries up there is no choice. Thanks to your Prayers and financial donations. You have made it possible to help Grace. Please continue to pray for her, and help others in the villages just like Grace.

Romance is back. I needed to work on an image with a touch of warmth today as it’s -7 outside. A composite of various photographic, text and texture layers (21 layers in total) Another in the series of works including poetry by my favourite poet Emily Dickinson. WHEN roses cease to bloom, dear, / And violets are done, / When bumble-bees in solemn flight / Have passed beyond the sun, / / The hand that paused to gather / Upon this summer’s day / Will idle lie, in Auburn,— / Then take my flower, pray!
ELLE / Photo best viewed large. / / / ELLE was FEATURED in the group:IN THE PINK / / / / / ELLE was FEATURED in the group:THE SCAVENGER / HUNT / / / / / Somewhat more compact than most hybrid teas, this vigorous, award-winning rose is ideal for small garden areas or large containers. This beautiful, light pink rose would be the shining star in any landscape or indoor setting! / ELLE is favored amongst most florists, and its’ buds are the perfect attraction for any corsage, bouquet, or basket. It is easily recognized for its’ soft, silky petals and beautiful blooms. This beautiful rose blooms in early spring and will last throughout summer with proper care. Excellent disease resistance and very dense, glossy green foliage make this new rose a winner in any garden! / / Pink Roses have a very rich history of meaning and symbolism. Light pink roses have come to symbolize sympathy and grace, while dark pink roses stand for admiration and appreciation/gratitude. Mauve roses mean beauty, love at first sight, and enchantment according to the Victorian Language of Flowers. / / For the the History of Pink Roses, go to ALL ABOUT PINK ROSES / / / / Photo was shot with my Canon Digital EOS 40D. / Lens used: Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS
