People versus the kiosk of security This is a story about the human spirit in the face of insecurity. It is about what happens to our dreams and aspiriations when fear overcomes us or outside authority contains us. The image Memorial Tree signifies the beauty of the life force, interwoven and complex and is a small important gesture to the importance of life. Sitting opposite this image is Kiosk of Security, displaying cold truths of ambiguous forms, a centry post of control and fear and oppression as opposed to passion. The Garden image is where man meets with nature, symbolising our creativity, our Eden, which carves out our identity and reflections of hope. Juxtaposing this image is The Caravan made of forboding long shadows and a protective fence of barbed wire, the restraints of a walled compound- a boarded, locked up dream, secure. In this landscape of high contrast and contradictions the horizon is the blue of optomism. This is a story with a happy ending for in the case of ‘the people versus the kiosk of security’ the people always win. The body of work should be read as two diptichs including: Memorial Tree. (Susan Claire Fern 1969 – 2000) Kiosk of Security. Roma 2007. The Garden. Walcott Gap, Norfolk, UK 2007. The Caravan. Bacton, Norfolk, UK 2007.
Pirates Versus Ninjas – where it all began. I was wondering if this reference was too obscure, but then my brother walked past and exclaimed, “Cool! Ninja paramecium!” and I knew my work was done. P.S. I spent an hour drawing the gun that would be thrust through the pirate’s belt. Just when I had proudly adjusted it into place, a helpful passer-by remarked that the gun I had drawn was actually a derringer and not suited to the era* (a derringer is more of a Wild West gun). After I had finished disposing of his body, I then spent another hour drawing an old-fashioned pistol, which ended up in the final picture. See here for the difference. * Surprisingly, he had no problem with the concept of unicellular organisms wearing clothes. Which side would YOU be on? Pirate, or ninja? =============== Please note that on dark t-shirts, the design will have a grittier, more reflective appearance, due to the greater amounts of ink used. If you are looking for a smoother effect, please choose a pale-coloured shirt. And of course, if you are not happy with the print quality, please contact RedBubble as soon as possible with a photograph of the print so that your issue can be resolved.

Taken at Lugu Lake, nestled in the Himalayas in China’s Yunnan province. The Mosuo people live in various villages scattered around Lugu Lake and are considered one of the last matriarchial cultures in the world. They are famous for their culture practice of the “walking marriage” (or as they call it literally “friend marriage”) where a man can visit a girl at night and if she likes him will sleep with him; but he must leave by morning. If the girl has a child s/he will be raised fatherless by her and her family. Apparently the real father may be referred to only as “uncle” by the child.
I know this is the same dead tree as in Nirvana but I’ve processed to quite differently. It was also taken an a different day in very different weather conditions and the sky was cloudy. / I’d like to know what you think please… / / / / / / / / / /

Technically this is possibly cheating – i have each (bird and drillbot ) as seperate T’s and merging them together took but seconds.. Now the Bird has a reason to look worried.

A couple of examples spy vs spy and red bubbler madvlad click links above In 1906, Vitagraph released the first animated film in the United States, Humorous Phases of Funny Faces, by cartoonist James Stuart Blackton. It featured a series of faces, letters, and words being drawn. This rudimentary foundation encouraged other cartoon pioneers, including Emil Cohl and Winsor McCay. Cohl produced Drame Chez Les Fantoches (A Drama in Fantoche’s House) (1908), a film more like modern classics, both funny and with a well-developed plot. McCay’s Little Nemo (1911), the first fully animated film, was based on his Newspaper comic strip. His Gertie the Dinosaur (1914) was the first to use frame-by-frame animation, which produced fluid motion. Gertie also initiated fascination with a central character. In the 1910s, animated cartoons were also being produced as series. John Randolph Bray had success with a number of them. Bray and other innovators developed ways of speeding up the drawing process using translucent paper, which enabled quicker drawing. The decade also witnessed the rise of the cell animation process and other important advances. Like early motion pictures, the cartoons were silent. Various methods of portraying speech were used, from balloons to dialogue on the screen, sometimes confusing the audience. In addition, the cartoonists lacked the resources to focus on story continuity. Often the cartoonist did all the work individually or with a small staff. Cartoons might have disappeared without sound. My digital interpretation i often wonder what is in a cartoonists mind
This was taken from inside the Pizza Hut looking out upon ancient Egypt. I thought the contrast betweeen the modern day shapes and the ancient ones were interesting. It is interesting how culture has changed over time. / This was taken with a Canon AE1 film camera using 200 ASA film at a 60 shutter speed.

/ The Clues. / Clue No. 1 Luis Buñuel was a Spanish-born filmmaker; he is considered one of Spain’s finest directors, and one of the most important directors in the history of cinema. / As a Surrealist, Buñuel’s desire was for revolution brought on by scandal. This meant levelling constant hostility towards the tyranny, hypocrisy, exploitation and injustice practiced by the institutions of organised society. “The real purpose of Surrealism”, as he said, was “to explode the social order, to transform life itself.” / Despite the ‘public call to assassination’ of his films and the Surrealist movement, Buñuel remained convinced of Surrealist claims to morality. This was a morality, however, which bore little resemblance to traditional bourgeois, Christian values. As such, the expression of this revolutionary morality in Buñuel’s films remains still rich and still vital. / The Exterminating Angel) (1962) by Luis Buñuel is a visually stunning, richly symbolic, and subtly allegorical tale on the nature of human behavior. Through a claustrophobic examination of masters without servants, Luis Buñuel strips the façade of all social pretense and exposes the fundamentally base, instinctual, and primal behavior innate in the human soul. What separates man from beast? According to Buñuel, the answer lies in the freedom of the animals. / Clue No. 2 / ¿The Truth? / The philosophers cannot agree, the theologians spend midnight oil attempting to find it, and the scientists pull out their collective hair because they know that even the act of observing an incident changes it… So how can one find the ‘Truth”? / The background image is “Time Saving Truth from Falsehood and Envy”, a painting completed by François Lemoyn on the day before the artist’s suicide. So here I´m trying to pay a tribute to one of the greatests surrealistic artists of all time, to Francois Lemoyn, and to the what-is-the-”truth”?- trascendental question.
