A horror piece inspired by the multitude of atrocities man/woman inflicts upon him/herself and the rest of the world for personal gain, and in a lot of cases just for the hell of it.
I started the day on a mission to capture a Hawk in flight. 1st run in, led me into a vacant lot where this Hawk, a beautiful mature one, leaped into the air screaming after almost getting close enough for a decent shot. Next stop, Titusville, Merritt Island. This time there were Hawks everywhere on the wires and each time I grew close, crept out of my car, they would leap towards the ground spoiling my capture. I moved down the road again, but this time the Hawk was busy snuggling up to a mate and was unconcerned about my presence. I waited until finally “shem”, he or she, lept into the air and I caught this capture of shem leaving. But I have to say I felt guilty later feeling like a paparazzi following Brittney Spears around, doggy her to death for a snapshot. Later that day I saw a Hawk snatch a pigeon from a tree and tear him apart and that sure did ease my conscience about my behavior…. LOL
Pencil on Bristol Paper / Inspired by the LL Cool J song “Jack The Ripper” I’m a beast on the microphone, a night stalker / A killing machine, a savage street talker / Jason with an axe, but I put it on wax / To eradicate the suckers who thought I had relaxed / The prince of hip hop, straight from Queens / Kicking it mean, keeping it clean
“Mr Wegg, if you was brought here loose in a bag to be articulated, I’d name your smallest bones blindfold equally with your largest, as fast as I could pick ‘em out, and I’d sort ‘em all, and sort your vertebrae, in a manner that would equally surprise and charm you.” – Mr. Venus, Articulator – from the book Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens Stock: Bird: Archistock http://archistock.deviantart.com/art/Creepy-Bird-77455534 / Surgeon’s stuff: Lockstock http://lockstock.deviantart.com/art/Surgeon-s-Table-01-10250561 / Hat: Peace-of-art http://peace-of-art.deviantart.com/art/Two-Top-Hats-61892310 / http://www.sxc.hu/photo/546034 My own stock: Foxstox http://foxstox.deviantart.com/art/Abandoned-Farmhouse-83028054 / textures, all else – are mine. ©2007-2008 Aimee Stewart, Foxfires

©Seth F.Weaver,Sr. A Compullage™ work. She was fragile and he was a boasting brute. She spoke once to often and the abuse began again and again. She knew it was wrong but thought she deserved it. She didn’t. He left but he’d be back to do it all over again. Somebody please stop him she’d pray each night as she lay broken and bleeding. She had heard those whispering out in the hall about the murders in White Castle. He just had a lousy temper, surely he wasn’t the Ripper. /
Jack was created with 3 images using photoshop, many layers were needed, the gradient tool was used for the fog effect and a lot of dodging and burning was also needed for the shadows and highlights… I would like to thank Elandria for her kind permission for the use of the image of the female model in the picture.. And I would like to thank Falln-Stock for the kind permission for the use of the image of the male model in the picture.. Thank you for looking…

I took this shot in the Victorian Village at Flambards, Helston, Cornwall, UK. Soft edge added in Picassa3. It inspired me to write the accompanying short story which I hope you enjoy and adds to your viewing pleasure. I hope you like it. / Thank you for looking and reading. Best Viewed Large. The Rippers Ghost? / The winter sun is setting on a cold Victorian London. Smoke from the coal fires mixes with the fog, making it hard to breathe. The Lamplighter is patrolling the streets doing his duty and people are scurrying around, wanting to get home and away from the dark alleyways before nightfall. It is the year 1895, and four years since ‘The Ripper’ had last struck, but fear still grips the residents of this part of East London. Some people say he is dead, others say alive, but some say that a Spirit from a bygone age haunts the streets, striking terror to all who walk the dark streets at night, deadly silent apart from the echoes of horseshoes thumping on the cobblestones, amplified in the fog, adding to the tension and the terror that fills everyone. It will be another hour till I finish my work and set foot once more into the cold smokey foreboding darkness of Whitechapel, and as I put some more coal on the fire in my office, I cannot help thinking about smoke that it is now producing, I will soon be breathing, and adding to the density of the fog, which is getting thicker by the minute, making it dark, even though the sun has not set yet. As the last embers glow in the grate, from my small office window on the second floor, I cannot see the street below, and my breath is turning to ice as it touches the window. / A cold night indeed, filled with dense smokey fog as well, some of which I am guilty of. My day is finishing, and I put my hat, coat, scarf and gloves on, ready to brave the dark world waiting for me outside the warm comfort of my office. / I open the door and enter the foggy darkness from the fire escape, tasting the coal as I breathe, which I then put the scarf over my mouth so as to try and filter some of the filthy air before it enters my lungs. From my position, I cannot see the ground, and start to descend slowly and carefully down the now icy stairs, my footsteps reverberating on every step. / I hear a distant whistle, and the muffled sounds of people shouting, and as I get lower, I recognise the sound as Policeman’s whistles heading in my direction. My breathing gets faster and my pulse starts to race, wondering what was coming towards me. / I reach the first floor landing of the fire escape and can see the pavement through the gaslights, and I then stand transfixed, too scared to move, as something appears in the corner of my eye. What is it? Is it the Ripper himself, or the Rippers ghost? / It passed in front of me and disappeared into the foggy darkness as quickly as it came. / The whistles had stopped also. What happened to them? Was that a ghostly experience as well? / I will never know. © Richard Veal. July 2009.
