The first in a developing series of digital collage images based on pencil sketches.
Fern fronds unfurl gingerly to the sun / Soil and breeze gently stir and rise / Fragile blossoms move for tender leaf / New beginnings after a long pause / Breathing fresh we are alive again / Excitement rises into the sweet air / The sun gives heart it’s Spring again. by Chrissy Dewes – cdwork
I started with a sun in the clouds picture that I wanted to look like an older painting on wood and then added the ship in Photoshop. When it all started coming together and looking dark I decided to hint at the ship, maybe just show the mast and part of the sail and make it kind of eerie.
F.N.E.
A grunge sign or desktop wallpaper, just a thought.

The Momote Shiki ritual ceremony is conducted by the Ogasawara-Ryu, one of the oldest schools of Japanese-style archery. The Ogasawara family has long been associated with martial arts training most especially archery. The founder of the Ogasawara line was Nagakiyo who was born in the mid-12th century. He excelled as a mounted archer and was granted the surname of Ogasawara by the Emperor after the name of his birthplace in modern Yamanashi Prefecture. 12th century Japan was a transitional time. In prior centuries, the Emperor’s Court ruled the land from Kyoto. Nobles held the reigns of power but as time progressed they began to lose their power to the emerging warrior class. With the increase of violence, the noble administrators had to rely more and more on the formerly despised warrior class to quell the problems. Eventually the warrior class came into its own in the mid-12th century when the powerful warrior family, the Heike or Taira, came to dominate the Imperial Court. Archery whether mounted or on foot was strongly emphasized during this period because the much-praised samurai sword had yet to truly come into its own. In Yoritomo’s time, the bow was the principle weapon of the samurai and the symbol of his profession and spirit.

Tattoo design I did…...What time is running out
Inspired by Heart Cooks Brain / by Modest Mouse. Slow walk / It’s land mine / It’s coal mine / It’s a bad thought / On the way to god don’t know / My brain’s the burger and my heart’s the coal / I’m trying to get my head clear / I push things out through my mouth / I get refilled through my ears / I’m on my way to god don’t know or even care / My brain’s the weak heart, and my heart’s the long stairs / Inland from Vancouver shore / The ravens and the seagulls push each other inward and outward / Inward and outward / In this place that I call home / My brain’s the cliff, and my heart’s the bitter buffalo / My heart’s the bitter buffalo / We tore one down, and erected another there / The match of the century: absence versus thin air / On the way to god don’t know / My brain’s the burger and my heart’s the coal / On this life that we call home / The years go fast and the days go so slow
