Took this photo at the Cape Fear Serpentarium Wilmington North Carolina Mambas, of the genus Dendroaspis, are fast-moving tree-dwelling snakes of Africa. (“Dendroaspis” is literally “tree snake”.) They belong to the family of Elapidae which includes cobras, coral snakes, kraits and, debatably, sea snakes, all of which can be extremely deadly. The black mamba is the largest venomous snake in Africa, with an extremely potent neurotoxic venom that attacks the nervous system; the bite is often fatal to humans without access to proper first aid and subsequent antivenin treatment, because it shuts down the lungs and heart. Prior to the availability of antivenom, envenomations by members of this genus carried a nearly 100% fatality rate. However, with antivenom being much more available today, fatalities have become much more rare. Many people have survived treatment without the use of antivenoms. Mambas will detect and get away from humans as fast as possible.

They belong to the family of Elapidae which includes cobras, coral snakes, kraits and, debatably, sea snakes, all of which can be extremely deadly. The black mamba is the longest venomous snake in Africa, with an extremely potent neurotoxic venom that attacks the nervous system, and cardiotoxins which attack the heart; the bite is often fatal to humans without access to proper first aid and subsequent antivenin treatment, because it shuts down the lungs and heart. Prior to the availability of antivenom, envenomations by members of this genus carried a nearly 100% fatality rate.

For Paul so he’ll know about the music going through my head and egging me on., last night. Watched it on a disk of MadTV and it was going through my head all night! Please note, it was not totally inspired by the music, but, the end result was and even finishing it up was. Which means I also collaborated with the Rolling Stones, in a strange fashion. lol Sometime, if you’re nice, I’ll upload the first one, and II, as well; maybe even the photo that started it all, but, I doubt it. lol I think I have worked longer, more intently, on this than on most anything else I have ever made. Maybe not. Maybe it just means more to me. I might continue, later on, as this is something I do like the looks of, but, it was not exactly what I intended to make when I started. Look upon it with happiness! It is not about gluttony, it is not about a need for change, it’s just fun! The original photo was taken by my father, Bob Sloan, while I was several thousand miles away. Does that count as Collaboral Damage? Let’s see! # Okay, today is the day (December 2nd, 2008 if you care to know) when I add the links. Since things turned out a bit wonky in presentation here, I also added the basic information and then some in writing. Remember, in this case, it is not meant to be a real tutorial, telling you how to do a certain piece or even a certain style, but, if by writing about it, I can give someone a good idea of how to liven up a piece that isn’t shaping up the way they’d prefer, well, that’d be grand! This is the original digital photograph, courtesy of Bob Sloan (aka: Dad): / Here is the first drawing/painting/manipulation I created based on a funny thought: / And, here it is BEFORE it got as colored as it did above, in fact, but after .. hmm .. tricky to explain. Okay, before I saved the one above, I printed off a copy of it, and then I drew on it. Later, I rescanned it in and went from there. Got it? Good. One can cause a time vortex, explaining the creation of true art in digital format. Here is the rescanned, drawn on print out: If anyone looks at this and thinks “Ooh, that would be perfect for the ….. group.” , or such as that, by all means make the suggestion. # Okay, I’ve seen. This does not count as Collaboral Damage. Why? It does not meet the group guidelines, which are: This group is for collaborations of all kinds. From the serious, wacky, fun, strange, sinister – in fact, anything that’s been done as collaboration. The appeal of collaborating for us is that we can see others’ interpretations of the one image, theme or concept. The point of collaborating is to widen our viewpoints, expose ourselves to new images and genres’ and to learn and admire the skills of others. and are also: *Group Rules: 1. Members are welcome to add photographs they would like others to work on as well, but must CLEARLY title them so, or add this in the photograph’s description. 2. Photographs must also CLEARLY be marked as a collaboration and the artist you collaborated with must be referred to. If they are not clearly labelled indicating it is a collaboration or may be used by someone to clreate a collaboration, the image will be removed. / I will occasionally choose a favourite from the group as our groups new avatar :) * Beyond referring to the fact that Bob Sloan, my father took the photograph, and freely admitting that I used it to make something else, I am not sure what more I could do to fall into the groups guidelines. Do we need to sign a contract in blood? Sheesh! This is the sort of thing that made me decide to quit most of the groups to begin with. Well, part of it. Though, it wasn’t due to this group. Listen, moderators, co-hosts, whatever you call yourself (and this is to all groups) I KNOW you are busy, but, you are also in a position where you put yourself. You have a duty to be fair, impartial, and do the job you set yourself up for. My work is constantly rejected by certain groups no matter how well it fits into the guidelines. Sometimes I write to a co-host and ask why. Usually I get no response at all, but a few times I was told that if they had been the ones to see it, they would have accepted it as it obviously fit in the guidelines. Which means, someone was being lazy, letting their personal grief or PMS get to them, or has a personal problem with me or what my art was about None of which is any part of being a good co-host. Oh wait, it could mean one more thing, in this case, or in similar cases: it could mean you need to rewrite your guidelines so that the members of the group will have a bloody clue what you’re actually looking for. PS: This is playing nice; certainly nicer than you were being when you rejected something that obviously fits the criteria as given! Mmm .. so.. there, I altered it. Wonder if it fits the group guidelines now? # As a point of fairness, I should say that I got a rather poiite email telling me where they think I went wrong. The problem is that i didn’t post a link to the RB’er whom I collaborated with. Which is, of course, because the person I collaborated with is not on Red Bubble. So, it is, after all, a need to be more clear within group guidelines and/or more open-minded in their interpretation. Thanks for the email though. It was nice, as well as informative!

Explanation of the creation of Fat Lady Refrigerator Mambo 3, a controversial digital/non-digital combination painting/drawing/manipulation (not necessarily in that order) about which one sister said: “You know, if ….. hadn’t said anything I may have thought that was you. I was relatively sure it wasn’t me because not big enough. Then I thought, Arletta doesn’t part her hair like that, who the heck is that. / / You should do a pic of me. “ and the other said “Thanks for the oh so flattering portrait, baby sister. I know where you live.”

SCIENTIFIC NAME:Dendroaspis angusticeps RANGE: Most of East Africa; from Kenya to Zimbabwe. HABITAT: Found usually in tropical or wooded areas. Mambas are also very good tree climbers. DIET: Feeds mostly on birds, rodents, frogs and lizards. STATUS: Not threatened General Information: These beautiful fast-moving snakes are highly venomous, but less aggressive than black mambas. Mambas are elapids, with short front fangs and the venom is primarily neurotoxic. Digestion of prey is also aided by the venom. Green mambas are arboreal and hunt during the day for birds, frogs, lizards, rodents or other small mammals. They will hunt on the ground if suitable prey cannot be found in the trees. When disturbed or threatened, mambas prefer to flee, moving at speeds up to 7 mph, but will strike when cornered. Mambas can live up to 14 years in captivity. Mambas are solitary, except during mating. Males find females by following a scent trail. Male green mambas will compete with other males with a ritual dance or wrestling contest on the ground, in which one male tries to force the other down. These combats may last for several hours. Courtship and mating take place in the trees, after which the female lays 10-15 eggs. After a little over three months, the young mambas hatch and are about half a meter long.

In addition to being one of the most venomous terrestrial snakes in the world, the Black Mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) is also the fastest known land snake. However, they are not aggressive unless disturbed; in fact, they seem to be relatively curious and active snakes.

Western green mamba (Dendroaspis viridis). West Africa. / Closely related to the Eastern green mamba and the Black mamba. Although it has a similar, dangerously neurotoxic venom as the black mamba, it is not as potent and injects smaller quantities. It is also not as nervous as its cousin. Found mainly in trees but does sometimes venture to the ground to bask or chase its prey.
