  • This land is your land / This land is my land / From California / To the New York Island / From the Redwood Forest / To the Gulf Stream waters / This land was made for you and me / / As I went walking / That ribbon of highway / I saw above me / That endless skyway / I saw below me / That golden valley / This land was made for you and me / / I roamed and I rambled / And I followed my footsteps / To the sparkling sands of / Her diamond deserts / While all around me / A voice was sounding / Saying this land was made for you and me / / When the sun came shining / And I was strolling / And the wheat fields waving / And the dust clouds rolling / A voice was chanting / As the fog was lifting / This land was made for you and me / / This land is your land / This land is my land / From California / To the New York Island / From the Redwood Forest / To the Gulf Stream waters / This land was made for you and me / / - Woody Guthrie – 1940 - / / / This is a multimedia digital painting that was inspired by the first song I ever learned to play on the guitar, ‘This Land Is Your Land’, over forty years ago. It is also a tribute artwork to the great artist that wrote the song, Woody Guthrie. The artwork was done for ‘Earth Day’, and portrays what I think Woody would have meant by his lyrics if he were alive in todays world. / / The goal of the artwork is to bring to mind that the Earth is our one and only land, and we should take great care with her as the stewards of her treasures that we have been given the responsibility to protect. May you never look upon an image of Earth after this again without the words ‘This Land was made for You and Me’ reverberating through your mind and spirit. / / Woody saw the country, and the world, as a place where there should be no private boundaries or borders… a place of freedom. This is the symbolism of the Earth from space in the artwork, as there are no borders or boundaries when Earth is seen as a whole from space. He stated these feelings in some less known verses contained in the earliest known recording of the song, which is known as the ‘private property’ verse. This version was confirmed by several archivists for the Smithsonian interviewed as part of the History Channel program ‘Save Our History – Save our Sounds’. The 1944 recording with this verse can be found on Woody Guthrie: This Land is Your Land: The Asch Recordings Volume 1, where it is track 14. / It goes as follows… / / There was a big high wall there / That tried to stop me / Sign was painted / It said private property / But on the back side / It didn’t say nothing / That side was made for you and me / / Guthrie also had a variant of this verse / / As I went walking / I saw a sign there / And on the sign / It said ‘No Trespassing’ / But on the other side / It didn’t say nothing / That side was made for you and me / / You can listen to the song on the YouTube Video link below / / This Land Is Your Land Video / http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaI5IRuS2aE / / You can also read more about the history of this song at the Wiki page below / History of ‘This Land Is Your Land’ / http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Land_Is_Your_Land / / Now a few details about the artwork. The first step was in creating the components for a photo composite. The photo of Woody Guthrie is a public domain image I obtained from the US Library of Congress at the link shown below. You will need to cut-and-paste it to your browser, as the URL contains special characters that disallow a conventional link due to Redbubble formatting constraints. / / Original Image of Woody Guthrie – US Library of Congress / http://lcweb2.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?ils:8:./temp/~pp_ckQa::@@@mdb=fsaall,brum,detr,swann,look,gottscho,pan,horyd,genthe,var,cai,cd,hh,yan,lomax,ils,prok,brhc,nclc,matpc,iucpub,tgmi,lamb,hec,krb I spent a great deal of time restoring the photo of Guthrie, removing scratches, specks, hairs, blemishes, and cracks. I then worked with the image quite a bit to improve the contrast and tonal qualities. The image of the Earth came from a well known public domain photo at NASA. I also spent a great deal of time restoring it in much the same way as the Guthrie photo. Those folks with the government should do a more careful job scanning and archiving these treasures, as the quality of their images is usually very poor. Once the Earth photo had been restored, I created a black and white image, and lightened the density to help give the Earth depth in the composite. / / The two restored photos were then used as layers in Photoshop. The shadow cast from Guthrie was hand-painted in Photoshop between the Guthrie and Earth layers. Once the composite was done, I proceeded to create the painting in Photoshop. The borders and text were added to the painting in Photoshop. I was very pleased how this came out, as well as, pleased to probably have one of the best images ( my restored photo ) of Woody Guthrie that exists. I haven’t decided yet whether I am going to make the restored photo available. / / The original finished artwork is 4800×6600 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. I have included a few detail cutaways below so you can see the detail. The detail cutaways are at 50% of the original size of the artwork. / / / / / / / / / /

  • This was shot at I-35 and Seward Rd. North of Edmond, Oklahoma. This is a shot of an LP (Low Precipitation) Supercell. This portion of the storm is the main body of the updraft tower. This storm was rotating in the Mid levels of the atmosphere. That is evident by the striations just above the base of this storm.

  • American folk hero Woody Guthrie’s accoustic guitar featured the legend “This machine kills fascists.” This t-shirt features not one but three modern guitars (strength in numbers).

  • Let Sleeping Corpses Lie or Non si deve profanare il sonno dei morti or The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue or Don’t Open the Window or Weekend with the Dead or whatever… is a 1974 Jorge Grau horror film and probably one of the very best zombie flicks ever! Part one of a trilogy named after the film. / Guthrie, the first zombie we meet in the film, played by Fernando Hilbeck, was supposed to have died drowning in the river, so the actor was kept soaked with water throughout the making. He had the most disturbing eyes of them all… Pencil, charcoal and pastel colours.

  • Collage of Arlo Guthrie performing at Woodstock in 1969

  • Way over yonder in minor key, ain’t nobody that can sing like me. For Woody Guthrie, Wilco & Billy Bragg fans alike. Or for the unsung millions of us who really need to make our voices heard.
