Who knows what we’ll find if (when) we eventually explore other worlds? Just imagine the cans of soup these mushrooms could supply. Acrylic

I was in northern Rwanda in April 2007 as a volunteer with an aid group and we had stopped to talk with people at a local church. The town was Rhuengeri, it sits close to the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo and has the unfortunate reputation as having been home to a number of those who perpetrated the horrific genocide of 1994. / The atmosphere in Rwanda is one of pervading ‘brokeness.’ Millions of orphans live side by side with those who tortured and massacred their families 14 few, short years ago. Millions more suffer the newer enemy – HIV Aids and countless others wander ghost like in a state it seems of perpetual shock, haunted by the past and overwhelmed by the concept of a future. / This was April. The official month of mourning. When people publicly face what privately never leaves them. / I was sitting on a step tired and desperate for fresh air when I looked into the crowd that inevitably gathered wherever we were. / This woman, is by my guess perhaps 30 and she is as are most, dirt poor. / I was absolutely transfixed by her and her child. / She seemed to me to sum up so much of what I saw. / Love and desperation and yes, compassion. / Her breast is bone dry and cracked and yet she tries to feed her baby. Perhaps it is the hope inherent in the action which feeds her. / At the same time, she looks totally preoccupied by her struggle for survival. / What is she thinking as she gazes into the middle ground? / My thought is, ‘where is the next meal.’ Where will she get it from? How will she share it? And upon finishing it, where will she find the next one? / I was overwhelmed by seeing the reality of those who live literally from hour to hour, day after exhausting day. / It confronted me then. / It continues to confront me now. / – Dog photography – Africa photography / - Beach photography - Black & white photography – Dog photography – Africa photography / - Beach photography - Monotone photography

This was shot in an amazing house, it was caught in a time capsule….the property was recently sold and the furniture sold off too, this shoot is all that remains. I wanted to look back, not through the rose coloured glasses we usually gaze back with, but to look at the tension that lies just below the surface. The 50’s and early 60’s have this all to perfect image, surface image that is…

Featured in Halloween and Inspired Art groups This image goes along with the poem Something Wicked by autumnwind as part of a collaboration for the Halloween Art & Writing Challenge in the Halloween Group * “Something Wicked” / The wondrous age of twelve years old / Holds stories yet have not been told / Of places chanced upon in fright / Where evil lurked with all its might / By name the Reservoir so called / A magnet dark, hung low and crawled / Its venom veiled and so enticed / For those who dared upon it thrice That summer’s eve I shan’t forget / As now recalled with deep regret / For death arose, its shape unfurled / And offered up it’s Godless world / Trembling so, yet held bewitched / The wind encircled and transfixed / Design of malice so precise / For those who dared upon it thrice This foulest dread did not offend / Enraptured rather to the end / In blackest beauty lust transcends / And so devoured my dearest friend / Whatever broke thy devils trance / I offer up to heaven’s chance / As wicked waged its dire device / For those who dared upon it thrice In nightmares beauty changes form / Of deadly charms I do thee warn / Seducing madness paid its price / For those who dared upon it thrice* Acrylic on 9×12 canvas board- Inspired by the song ‘A Beautiful Lie’ by 30 Seconds to Mars. I was watching the music video for “A Beautiful Lie” by 30 Seconds to Mars, and was really touched by the intro with the Eskimos. (If you haven’t seen this, here’s the link! A Beautiful Lie Video ) The band is really breaking grounds by putting this environmental awareness stuff out there. (It can make or break your career in the music biz) I also thought that the director/photographer for the video was a genious! It’s such a captivating and stunning video, the shots of the scenery is amazing! So….I downloaded the CD. (It’s one of my faves right now….GREAT music!) Without the video to distract, I listened to the song with my eyes closed, as I knew this one would work for my next painting. (This is kinda part of my process right now. LOL) The little electric sounds at the beginning and end of the song made me feel like I was either falling into space or just into the dark oblivion. Empty, alone, fragile…..that’s where the background came from. IT’s a deep deep blue almost black – I added the parts that kind of spin out from the inner circle to show that things are spinning out of controll and that you’re spiraling down into the depths of something. Once I had the background done, I went back to listening to the song while the paint dried. This time, I saw that poor poor faerie was the one falling into nothing. This is when I decided to keep everything dark – whites blacks and grays – because I knew there would be an explosion of red. The white and gray leaves came next. I felt like the gray wasn’t the right color, but thought it might look better after adding the trunk and branches. So, I went with a solid black for that. I chose the black to keep with the dark theme, but also because it would really stand out in some parts, yet kind of fade into the background in other areas. (A Beautiful Lie – this is a beautiful tree, but is it really there?) This is when I hated it and wanted to trash it and start over! Instead, I stepped away from it for 2 days – came back refreshed and decided to add in the red & silver. I did the silver to throw in a brighter color to balance the piece a bit, but to also show the etherealness of the faerie. The faerie has fallen and was basically held by the tree. Shes fading into the background and there are spots of her silver body throughout the piece. She’s kind of becoming everything around her. I very much believe in reincarnation and life after death. (Which is also why the pose is almost like the crusifix.) It’s kind of a play on organized religion and what we’ve been told about death in general – It’s all a beautiful lie! :) The red was chosen to symbolize blood. This makes the viewer pose some questions – is it all blood? are those blood splatters or wings? are those blood spots or flowers in the tree? All in all, it’s a play on reality – what’s really there? what isn’t? Is it all just a beautiful lie?! “Lie awake in bed at night / And think about your life / Do you want to be different? / Try to let go of the truth / The battles of your youth / ‘Cause this is just a game It’s a beautiful lie / It’s a perfect denial / Such a beautiful lie to believe in / So beautiful, beautiful it makes me…” Full lyrics / A Beautiful Lie Video / 30 Seconds to Mars

I know I’m a day late for the Agent Provocateur something different challenge but this one was a struggle! In the end I decided to combine all the things I wanted to try into one. There’s some pixel action, a bit of black on black and even some braille. The song I’ve chosen is Leif Erikson by Interpol. If you haven’t heard this song you must go and buy the album now. It’s worth it just for this track and NYC. The braille idea comes from the opening lines and the red on the shirt represents the lyrics “brief things” in braille. She says It helps with the lights out / Her rabid glow is like braille to the night. / She swears I’m a slave to the details / But if your life is such a big joke, why should I care? The clock is set for nine but you know you’re gonna make it eight. / So that you two can take some time, teach each other to reciprocate. She feels that my sentimental side should be held with kid gloves / But she doesn’t know that I left my urge in the icebox / She swears I’m just prey to the female, / Well then hook me up and throw me, baby / cakes, cuz I like to get hooked. The clock is set for nine but you know you’re gonna make it eight. / All the people that you’ve loved they’re all / bound to leave some keepsakes. / I’ve been swinging all the time, think it’s time to learn your way. / I picture you and me together in the jungle it will be ok. I’ll bring you when my lifeboat sails through the night / That is supposing you don’t sleep tonight It’s like learning a new language / Helps me catch up on my mime / If you don’t bring up those lonely parts / This could be a good time / You come here to me. / We’ll pick up those lonely parts and set them down / You come here to me… She says brief things, her love’s a pony / My love’s subliminal

Close up macro of a water-spewing fish on a fountain at the Kennywood amusement park. Many people simply walk past this charming fountain on their way to the Exterminator, Pittsburgh Plunge or Phantom’s Revenge, but I always stop to enjoy the novelty of it. Got some strange looks from people while hanging halfway into the fountain to get this close to the little fish.

Something Beautiful

Some two years ago we were sitting around a table talking about what should be important to RedBubble. Mark Williams, our first engineer, said he felt we should be seeking after beauty. I recall being perplexed by this at the time. I have sat through a lot of corporate meetings striving to define “values”. And even within the freedom of vaporous rhetoric the word “beauty” is a step to far. And so it is in our culture. The scientists will pull apart the universe to the last proton without getting a micron closer to beauty. The accountants will count to the last bean and beauty will not have been found. Somehow it seems an ugly utilitarianism has pervaded our priorities. Beauty it seems is a casualty of our relentless desire to comprehend and value. Being without value, beauty is ignored. Perhaps this is no more evident than on the Internet. Web design frequently pursues a relentless focus on functionality at the expense of any consideration of aesthetics. If any design ethos pervades the web it seems to be pursuit of banal utility. Too frequently this is simply ugly. And the problem with ugly is that it diminishes us. Our humanity cannot be found in the protons or chromosomes of which we are made. It certainly may not be found in the value of our work (or the perhaps the weight of gold in our teeth). The beauty that can neither be found nor counted is at the heart of that which gives value to life. Beauty is both part of the ultimate destination and our signpost that we are on the right road. Martin (aka Pilgrim)

Location: Destin, FL – Regatta Bay Golf & Country Club / Camera:Canon A-10 EOS 35 mm / Lens: Tamron 28-200mm / Film: Fujicolor 200 speed This shot was taken on a very foggy night in April of 2000. I was driving by the Regatta Bay Golf Course while the country club had a tournament going on. They had the restaurant all lit up behind this stand of trees. We could see the shot from the road and though it was misting rain. I managed to risk my camera equipment and trespassed onto the golf course to get the shot. It was my FIRST time trespassing and I was sure I would get caught, but the shot was totally worth it. The fog the mist and the lighting all combined to make a once in a lifetime eerie effect. Even the colors in this shot have not been adjusted much. The lights shooting into the air were blue in color. Only minor cropping and editing of contrast were done in Photoshop CS3.

Oil on canvas, 18” x 14” (457×356mm I’ve borrowed the title of a poem by Samuel Beckett for this painting. I can’t quote the whole poem but here’s a section: at the faint sound so brief / it is gone and the whole globe / not yet bare / the eye / opens wide / wide / till in the end / nothing more / shutters it again
