The Chicago Tribune newspaper conducted a survey among World War II veterans as to what they remembered most about the war-time period. The responses received most often were Glen Miller’s band, and the Varga Girl. / Atomic Bombshell is my tribute an adoration to the beautiful imagery of the Varga girl.

This is an image created to illustrate an environmental portrait of an old camera called a “speed graphic”... the whole scene is meant to tell a story of a time when this camera was in use. I hope you enjoy this marvolous piece of photographic history.

Memoirs of a Japanese War Bride Art print From 1944 to the early 50’s thousands of Japanese women fell in love with servicemen, married and started new lives in alien countries. / It must have been an incredible struggle to leave their extended families, friends, country and merge into new cultures. This started out as a full length Geisha dancing but somewhere along the way this concept just grew of it’s own accord, funny how that happens;) / Mixed Media.

Done for Anzac Day / The image represents a fallen soldier, who’s remains were never recovered during the first world war. It didn’t matter to me what side this soldier was fighting on. / The letter at the base of the post was his letter he kept close to his heart and was to be his last letter to his loved one.

In 16th century war time armour maketh the man… it glorified his position in battle – but if you strip away the armour, then the man, you may only find a distant landscape bearing his soul.

This child watched through a broken window as we worked inside. It’s times like this when the natural, uncontrived symbolism of circumstance just presents itself to you and all you have to do is click. There was not pretence, no staging, no crap. Just reality. It still engages me now. Look at his eyes. What is he thinking? He’s aching. He is full on aching. How can I help them more, how can I help them more, how can I help them more… Please give if you can or pass it on to someone else. That’s giving too. All proceeds to charity. NOW AVAILABLE AS A CHRISTMAS CARD! /

HMS Warrior is a nineteenth century ironclad. She’s a beautiful vessel moored permanently within the Historic Dockyard at Portsmouth. I pass her every day on the way into work and she never fails to give me a little lift. When I was coming home and the sunset was looking so gorgeous, I couldn’t resist missing my ferry home for this shot!

I sit here and look out over this world. Disturbed I am by what I see. I had a dream once. A dream where all creatures got along, where respect and honor was strong. Where helping the weaker and less fortunate was not a favor but an Honor. Where one could speak his language with no fear of ridicule. Where one did not have to put on a mask or costume to fit in.I sit here and feel I am so far away and drifitng each day. There is anger in me that I have tried to keep in but everyday when I come up here and look out there it is rekindled. I see the ones searching and wanting to let go but out of fear they stay chained in their own prison. Not fear of failure, but out of fear of what the mass may think of them. I see the ones that want to fight but are not willing to join the fight because if the battle is lost, what will happen to them then. Time is being wasted like it will always be there, but it is slowly going by. Soon the gift of time will be the burden of wasted years. I may come back up here again, but right now I really do not want to. I think my anger is calling for me to take flight and keep searching for them, I feel so far away.

Pastel painting on Kitty Wallis sanded pastel paper. From a photo shopped photographic reference shot I took of my daughter. My daughter and model dragged me along to an antiwar march in DC this past St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, 2007. Best parade I was ever in on the day! That march really influenced my work and “Lucy” was painted a month after the experience. The photo reference was taken at Kent State University when we were visiting my son for homecoming. My daughter was standing on the hill where the shootings had taken place in 1970, I saw the shot, and captured her as she really was, crazy Halloween top hat and the balloon she’d Christened “Tuesday” with a sharpie marker. I reversed the puffy white clouds in photo shop to create a smoky haze of “War Is Over” clouds. The white outline around the figure was a remnant of the photoshop effect. I liked the surreal quality of that so I kept it for the “LSD” Beatles factor. The piece is framed in an old 70’s frame and studded with plastic rhinestones. ;-) “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds” Additional information from my myspace blog: I’ve been getting some questions about this piece, I suppose because it’s a bit of a departure for me. More surreal or psychedelic than my usual work. Part of that is intentional as a reflection of the nature of the Beatles tune which influenced the work. John Lennon always denied that the song referred to LSD, and was really inspired by Julian’s childish drawing of a girl flying in the sky. Appropriate that this pastel is inspired by my daughter’s personality. It shows her progression toward adulthood, which is the underlying theme of my White Album series. This work began as a candid snapshot of my artsy daughter at 16. We were visiting my son at Kent State U, Ohio, for Homecoming. She was really wearing the cheap top hat around campus that day, she had gotten it for her Halloween costume. The Kent Homecoming committee were passing out the balloons and she took one, and for some reason decided to name it “Tuesday” and wrote that on the balloon with a sharpie. It was a windy day with large puffy white clouds, and she was standing on the hill where the Kent State Massacre had occured. This is an important detail about my thought process for the piece, as the tragic event happened in May 1970 – the year the Beatles broke up, and around the time John Lennon began his life with Yoko and did the Baggism, Bed-In and “War Is Over” song and campaign. I saw the shot that day as she stood on the hill, and my daughter held the pose for just a moment. She hates when I take her photo – but she’s so damn quirky and cute I can’t resist! I got down low to have only the sky for a backdrop. Her expression is actually more resigned exasperation with me than anything deeper. Somehow her signature stoicism works. I played with the image in photoshop and liked the sky reversed, with darks where the whites had been. The blue sky turned the opposite on the color wheel, “marmalade” colored. The white outline is a remnant from the photoshop effect I was using, and since she was backlit in the original photo, I thought it was cool, and again, a bit surreal. The balloon was really blue, but the effect reversed that, too. It’s not meant to be realistic. I had just watched “John Lennon vs. the US” at the time and thought I’d add the words “War Is Over” to the balloon, as a flashback to the 1970’s and a hopeful premonition for today. “War is over Tuesday” may have worked as well ;) My daughter is an activist against the war and while she doesn’t like her likeness here, she does like the message. The flowers on the balloon could be a reference to “cellophane flowers of yellow and green towering over your head” but that didn’t occur to me til today :) My friends have been interpreting this piece in different ways. One wondered if the balloon is her hallucination. Another says the clouds are post-war colors. I like that. ~ A

This was one of my first sociopolitical pieces. Something about criticism. I’d say that “I hope no one gets offended by this idea” but rarely people understand its message, so well :) Model courtesy of Marcus Ranum
