This was a statement on how the Indigenous tribes were fooled in their negotiations for their land and treaties.

Clookshla is from old T’Sou-ke legends and he lived in a time before humans, where animals could take human form whenever they wished. Clookshla is a sinister character with stories of stealing ( of course ) , greed , and eating his own grandson. All the stories I have heard about Clookshla tell tales of him doing whatever it takes to acquire food and portrays him as being greedy but intelligent.

In Native American tribes, the Heyokah is a contrary clown who holds total wisdom and teaches through laughter and opposites…making you wonder if what you are doing and saying is correct, by making you think and figure it out for yourself. / When people are made to think on their own, the wobbly beliefs that have been a rubber crutch gives way and they end up on the ground on their rump, a lesson was learned. If they stop and think, test out a teaching for themselves and it stands in good stead, the wobbly belief becomes a KNOWING for their lives. / This trickster is called Heyokah by the Plains tribes and Koshari by the Hopi and Pueblo Indians – they all operate through opposites and create lessons at the expense of another’s seriousness. The Medicine ally of the Heyokah is Coyote and its nature to trick others into enlightened states of understanding. / The true art of knowing how and when to use Heyokah tactics comes through the ability to laugh at one’s self while being compassionate in using the tricksters elements of teaching in a way that is not cruel or self-imposing. / The lesson is always to lighten up and start balancing the sacred with irreverance. This photo was taken many years ago of myself and an Australian sister visitor who stayed with us in California for over 6 months, we dressed like this for an April Fools Potlatch, where we sisters played many contrary games, tricks and lessons together. It has been slightly edited in photoshop7. COYOTE

...performing a dream in front of the crowd of one flower. The fruit of one’s imagination is called Future-with-Intent, the trickster is the heart, the crowd of one is the soul… the rest is of no consequence. 5 May 2009

..well, it is only a sketchy, human eye friendly rendition of the real thing… but, I think, it is good enough to fall under, what usually is accepted as Art. 5 May 2009 Best viewed large / —-—-—-—— / Featured in Abstract Digital Art and Writing group on 12th of May 2009 Thank you.

Iktomi means ‘Trickster Spirit’ in Lakota. Coyote is known as the Trickster in Native American Animal Medicine. She often appears when we have allowed Life to become too serious, inspiring us to lighten up and to laugh at our own antics. On my way home from my morning walk at the lake yesterday, I spotted this beautiful Coyote near the walking path that runs along the edge of the golf course. She stood so still, staring off into the distance, then turned and looked directly at me. It was like time stood still for a few moments as our eyes & spirits met….then she was gone. I smiled and reminded myself to maintain my sense of humor during the day ahead of me. Thank you, Sister Coyote. Mitakuye Oyasin—We Are All Related. Estes Park, Colorado.

A wearable tribute to literary genius, Edgar Allan Poe. What more could you want? (On second thoughts, please don’t answer that question!)

Hmm – maybe the innocuous Manfred Mann title isn’t entirely appropriate. This puts me more in mind of “The Clown” of Eire Apparent’s distinctly unsettingly 60s psych classic! A real recipe for Coulrophobia if ever I heard it. Before extreme mutation this was a harmless photo of Radio City Music Hall by night – so perhaps the emerging image is strangely apt! The original looked like this: Photoshop Elements and Paint Shop Pro provided the plethora of distortion effects.

A few discerning souls appreciated the Wall Art version of this, so it seemed churlish not to offer it as a Tee! The perfect attire for turning lead into gold, or polishing your Philosopher’s Stone – buy one and satisfy your inner homunculus!

The original image is an itinerant musician who plays his upright piano on Venice Beach (well, not literally on the beach, but near enough to be a feature of that particular locality). I submitted a very different version of this picture to another website about two years ago, but decided to revisit the image to continue the experimentation I started with Synaesthesia. I hope that you like the result. Also available as a lovely Tee!

First of all, let me make it very clear that I do not have a fear of clowns! However, I found this rather unpleasant fellow wandering through the damp and rat infested labyrinth of my mind and thought I’d better scarper, quick! I can’t say that I regret the decision….. Two photos here, both beaten to submission over several layers in Photoshop Elements and then glued together with raspberry jam. What a dubious delicacy! Happy Halloween, one and all!

“He was free to dance alone where the spirits run / His almond eyes would twinkle on a hundred sons / His champagne toast and white meat on a spit / Papa Legba’s drunken with a smile upon his lips” ~ verse from the song Hey Papa Legba by Elton John (1982) Papa Legba is the master linguist, the trickster, warrior, and the personal messenger of destiny. In Haitian Vodou, Papa Legba is the intermediary between the loa (the spirits of the Voodoo religion practiced in Haiti, and other parts of the world) and humanity. Papa Legba stands at a spiritual crossroads and gives (or denies) permission to speak with the spirits of Guinee (spirit world), and is believed to speak all human languages. Papa Legba is always the first and last spirit invoked in any ceremony, because his permission is needed for any communication between mortals and the loa—he opens and closes the doorway. ... in Benin and Nigeria, Papa Legba is viewed as young and virile, is often horned and phallic, and his shrine is usually located at the gate of the village in the countryside. ...” ~ This piece includes 3 photographs, the model (3d) and brushes, filters, and extensive processing in Photoshop. As with most of my work, the detail and overall result can only be appreciated in a much larger size than that available here on RB.
