Despite the eerie effect of interstellar high-speed flying, this is an Australian native plant known as a Yakka bush. / ... / Shot at waist level, staring into a perfectly spherical yakka, this can hurt the eyes: Walking into these long thin green blades would do severe retina damage. / ... / Probably the same effect as “going to light-speed” into the sun. #NOTE:# Known as Xanthorrhoea priessii, the Yakka plant is a grass-tree, also spelled yacka. To engage in Hard Yakka is a common phrase in the Australian lexicon. One of Australia’s most well-known brands of work clothing is entitled Hard Yakka.

A pop art illustration I originally had published in Yen magazine.
After shooting the pool at the Surf Lifesaving Club. I went for a rock hop around the corner and got to the Ladies pool just after the sun had come over the horizon. For about 15 minutes the sun was a really intense golden colour and lit up the water beautifully.
This was painted in Photo Shop on a blank file set at 300 dpi. This painting is NOT photo generated or photo manipulation. This Is Mitch. He is my creation. He is was born in Venice Italy. His mother is Italian his father… well your just going to have to wait till I get his first chapter written. His family moved to the states , NYC, when he was 6. / After his father died his mother (never very caring in the first place) took off and he was left alone to bury his father at the age of 9. The only thing of value he had was a black Journal. After reading it Mitch finds out he is much more than just human. The continence of the journal was the history of his grandfather. Not wanting what happened to his grandfather to happen to him, Mitch takes to the streets. He spent his time growing up on the streets where he met an old blues player who taught him to play a guitar and sing the blues. That’s how he got money, singing on the streets and in joints. With his deep soulful voice and good looks getting a gig was easy. But it wasn’t enough, not for the life he wanted. / So being Italian… It was easy for him to find “other” work. He had learned to knife fight on the streets and became quite good. Then he hooks up with a small time drug lord and so it begins his true life of crime, soon Mitch becomes the right arm man for one of the biggest Mobsters in NYC…… Later , at the height of his success, just 18 Mitch unknowingly kills the Godfather’s nephew in a jealous rage, now he’s their target. / / Copyright / These Images and Writings Do Not Belong To ANY Public Domain.

/ From the Series Landscape… “Winter Storm”..... Watercolour on Arches Paper… Announced by all the trumpets of the sky, / Arrives the snow, and, driving o’er the fields, / Seems nowhere to alight: the whited air / Hides hills and woods, the river, and the heaven, / And veils the farmhouse at the garden’s end. / The sled and traveler stopped, the courier’s feet / Delayed, all friends shut out, the housemates sit / Around the radiant fireplace, enclosed / In a tumultuous privacy of storm. Ralph Waldo Emerson
/ “Gale Force” is part of the Series “Green” and the “Weather” Series.... The Earth and all her nuances….this painting was inspired by an out of print book on weather…then I saw a photo of a hurricane in a book for painters about 15 years ago…..recently I remembered both images and created Gale Force…..but it is my own particular vision of the effects of such a storm… to get the feeling of constant movement, I painted it in an unfettered very loose style....Janis Watercolour on Arches Paper Green’ is the most flagrantly uninhibited dance of every organism alive; / As the unsurpassable buckets of rain, pelted unfettered from / the belly of fathomless sky”. Nikhil Parekh /
Tried out a sketchy illustration style a little while ago, this was the result.

A golden field with flowers of red / commemorate the lives of the dead / who shed their blood in wars long gone / how could they know they were but pawns / in games that were played by greedy old men / who real purpose was beyond their ken / and these old men took the best of us / without a care, without any fuss / they sent them off into the battle / to be slaughtered like barnyard cattle / they did not care twas not their mind / twas money and power that made them blind / and now again it’s off to war / far away from our home land shore / to bear the brunt of old men games / to feed the fire and the flames / how blind we be to shut our eyes / and play the games of old men lies / afraid to speak afraid to say / this is not right we will not play / but the noose it tightens every day / afraid to say / afraid to say / this is not right we will not play / but the noose it tightens every day ….healing through remembrance / Oil on canvas paper ..... ..Donovan
