Ink drawing on paper. / For the last 25 years Rita’s daily star sign has read: Capricorn, today you will be as bored and disillusioned as you were yesterday. This is a true story: There was once a woman who lived her life by the daily newspaper starsign she had delivered to her house everyday. She was fanatical about it. If the starsign said bad things will happen that day she would not even leave the house. On one of these particular days when she felt stuck inside she decided to clean out her attic. Whilst doing this she discovered her original birth certificate. It indicated that she was actually born on an entirely different day and month therefore she was a completely different starsign!!! Dear oh dear… I based this character on her.
Meaning Woman Slave. / It makes sense to me / but others, not so much. More prints Model Natalie Paquette / Hand Model Texture assistance: Brujo / Darkrose42
Can you imagine… Being born into a world that buys and sells you like a piece of meat at a market? Being forced to work long hours that most adults cannot imagine? Being brain washed into thinking that your self worth is zero? Can you imagine… Never feeling the love of family or parents? Never knowing what it is to be free let alone have the hope or dream of freedom? Never being allowed the simplest of human rights? All of the earnings for the sales of items relating to “My daughter is an Asian slave child” parts one and two here on Red Bubble will be donated to the World Children’s Fund. I would like to thank my daughter Shelby for helping in the creating of this and the up-coming Part Two. Original is oil on canvas: 24” x 30”
This piece is based on how much we base our decisions off of love. Not condemning it, but rather it intrigues me what those will do in the name of love. Many people have died for love, have fought for love, and have sacrificed for love. It’s a powerful feeling that enslaves us, causing us to react in ways we may not deem normal in a clear state of mind, but like they say, Love is intoxicating. 2nd traditional piece I’ve ever attempted with acrylics. It was (key word, was, because it was sold lol)a 18×24 inch stretched canvas with acrylics and india ink. I miss this piece dearly, but at least I have a wonderful jpeg of it’s remains.
©Seth F.Weaver Sr.1972. Linoleum block print. This was inspired by the TV mini-series “Roots” and the life and blight of slavery in the South. I have always liked this print it has a “The Gleaner” feel and look to it. This will probably not be popular with everyone with it’s lack of color, but black and white can be colorful too! Seth
This painting was created with interior house paint on canvas / H26” x W50” / Black Matte Gallery Frame / 2007 / Original – 1800.00 / ON SALE NOW! 1000.00 “Faceless,” is dedicated to all the woman and girls who suffer injustices all over the world, and remain faceless to world. Although I created this image in 2007, and had titled it “Girls,” I didn’t fully realize what it meant until just this week. In the news, a husband kills his wife, by placing a plastic bag over her head, hangs her, and flees with the three children after countless please for help to local authorities. A father is convicted of keeping his daughter locked up as a sex slave for 24 years. Daughter now 42. Many females are enslaved, murdered, raped, tortured all over the world, and many more will remain faceless to us. Stop, think, and listen.
This is an acrylic painting originally painted on canvas panel. I was moved to paint this piece due to all of the escalating violence in Richmond, CA and the rest of the Bay Area.
This is an infra-red edit of the single most humorous thing I have ever seen in a graveyard. I was Sacramento’s Old City Cemetery where countless historic figures are interred when I turned around and saw this sight. I could tell you it was a mother crow feeding a very large youngster; the young are easily as big as the parents while they are being fed outside of the nest. I could tell you that it was “bird season” for crows and this was some sort of bonding ritual between an old couple that had been together for years. Or I could tell you that it was about 10000 degrees in the graveyard when I took this shot and the birds were panting like crazy, especially the ones appropriately dressed (or “feathered”? “Downed”???) in black. But I’d rather say the thought that came to mind as soon as this painfully obvious shot was noticed: You REALLY know you’re dead when you look up to see two crows on a tombstone with your name on it, singing in harmony. That should confirm it nicely. THIS PIECE IS FEATURED IN: Amazing Graves. Thank you AG Group for remembering my little shot and honouring it once it returned! Ya’ll rock! The Necessary Evility / Nikon D80 / Nikkor 70-300mm lens / Exposure: 1/160 / F/stop: 5.6 / ISO: 400 (but I can’t imagine why) / Focal length: 300mm / Metering mode: Pattern / Creative setting: Vivid and actually important since that setting increases sharpness before editing to monochrome / no tripod (Maybe that explains the shutter speed and ISO) / hella hot outside (Perhaps 100 degrees F.) / No crows were not bothered in this shot / No, I’m not really sure what they were singing. Forgot my babblefish. / Corel Paintshop Pro Photo XI did the editing / shot taken due east

Another self-portrait for my photography final, “Fragmented Self-Image”. I think the idea is pretty obvious…I used to have an eating disorder, I don’t any more, but the mentality that I need to stay thin and fit still remains and this is my interpretation of that. To post this alone takes me a lot of courage because I am still very, very uncomfortable with my body.

The first design I uploaded to RedBubble was ‘Skin Deep’, a skull design made up of 100 faces – or there abouts. Skin Deep was inspired, or at least the idea to use organic subjects to comprise the skull was inspired by a photo I saw by Salvador Dali. In recognition of Dali and to the idea his design gave I decided to create my own spin on his original design using bodies, slaves in fact – ‘Slaves to the Skull Queen. ‘
I had to reload this as it was showing a black rectangle as the design! Available in 3 styles of print, please ask me it you want one of the other typefaces as they are hidden! / As with all tees, please press preview/buy to see in different shirt designs and colours.

It is the second largest lake entirely within Alberta boundaries (and the largest easily accessible by vehicle), covering 1160 square km and measuring over 100 km long and 15 km at its widest point. Lesser Slave Lake averages 11.4 m in depth and is 20.5 m at its deepest. It drains eastwards into the Athabasca River by way of the Lesser Slave River.This was taken with a Nikon D80 and 16-85mm /
The Island Of Goreé / situated in Senegal, (African Westcoast) is known as one of the most important “Slavetrade Places” in history. / UNESCO made it a “Heritage of Mankind”. / It became famous when appearing in the movie “Roots”, the story about Kunta Kinte. / Since that time lots of Afro-Americans visit this Island to see the place where their ancestors may have left the African Continent and find their own roots. / I have once visited this place and while I was standing in the room I have digitally painted here, I was able to feel all those lost souls and traumata…......and the tears started running down my face. I could do nothing against being overwhelmed by all the dispair hangin in those old walls! The background of this digital painting shows one of the rooms of the “Maison d’esclaves”, the Slavehouse, where the prisoned Africans had to wait for the ship to come and take them away. / The portraited Mahgrebian Man may have been one of the Slavetraders who caught the black Africans to sell them as slaves….......the door of the house (not the door shown here) was called “Point of no return”, cause it lead directly to the ship and non of the slaves would be able to ever return home. / This door is in his focus…...I placed it dreamy at his eye to show what his focus is on. / This short description explaines my intesion and the title. I dedicate this image to all the slaves deported from their homes and beloved in the old times. May their souls find peace! / _____ / http://webworld.unesco.org/goree/en/index.shtml

The White King-Bishop’s Pawn / Artist: Quigonjim / Biography: Danny Artist Interview: Quigonjim The Angel Bishop was always conflicted by the blasphemous works of the University and it’s loyalty to it’s King. It stemmed some of this anguish by creating its own religious order of devout, some say fanatical soldiers. Many feared the Bishop’s priests , something the King encouraged to keep other sections of his army in line.
