Winter-Yellow Moon by Janis Zroback

“Yellow Moon” is part of the Winter, and Sepia (see others below) Collection….this is part of the actual town in Northern Ontario Canada, as wrtten in the lyrics, but instead of using the usual winter colours, I chose to do the whole landscape in yellow, even adding a glaze of yellow on the snow, giving the impression of a golden glow over everything…the “Dream Comfort” of a memory... / The sketch is from my files, original picture of North Western Ontario, from images for artists... Watercolour on Arches Paper…372 Views There is a town in north Ontario, / With dream comfort memory to spare, / And in my mind / I still need a place to go, / All my changes were there. / Blue, blue windows behind the stars, / Yellow moon on the rise, / Big birds flying across the sky, / Throwing shadows in our eyes. ..Neil Young Listen to Helpless Turn up the speakers…. / /

Drenched by rodeorose

Dubrovnik drenched by the morning sun. Shot Summer 2006, at 8 am, from the Old Town Walls, looking at the clocktower at the southern end of Stradun. One can see the extensive post-war repair work to the rooftops, and the difference between the origianl tiles, and the new regular ones. Dubrovnik has been listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 1979. We are luckyenough to call this city our second home. Nikon D70s; Nikon 70-300mm lens; f/4.2; 1/2000sec; 75mm focal length.
Daisy Head Mayzie by Karen Scrimes

My daughter Kelsey and I had been playing around taking some pictures when I had the idea to have her looking up as if something were coming out of her head. In the back of my mind I was remembering a children’s book by Dr Seuss titled Daisy Head Mayzie. The book is about a young girl who suddenly sprouts a yellow daisy from the top of her head, and the resultant chaos the ensues. Image taken with Canon 40D and Canon 24-105mm lens + external flash. The extract below was found on the internet: Dr. Seuss was dead, but his widow had discovered one last manuscript. Ten years later, Seuss’s sketches for its illustrations were finally expanded to create a complete story. The book is dedicated by his widow “to the ongoing presence of Theodor S. Geisel…Dr. Seuss.” And in “Daisy-head Mayzie”, the narrator is even represented by the ultimate Seuss symbol – the Cat in the Hat! Remember the little girl whose house was visited by the Cat in the Hat? Mayzie looks a little bit like her! She’s got blonde hair and round innocent eyes – but one day at school, “something peculiar was going on.” On the top of her head, she’d suddenly sprouted a daisy! And it befuddles even the adults, including Mayzie’s teacher. I love how the characters have names that sound like Seuss-ical rhymes. The daisy’s confirmed by Einstein Van Tass (“the brightest young man in the whole of the class.”) The girl’s teacher is “Miss Sneetcher,” and she whisks Mayzie to the Principal’s office. And the Principal’s name is “good Gregory Grumm…a very wise man, just as smart as they come.” But most of all there’s funny drawings. Mayzie’s mom is a welder – she’s first seen wearing a blowtorch mask – while Mayzie’s father (with a dapper moustache) works as a shoe salesman. Dr. Eisenbart looks like your classic cartoon quack, with a bald head and tufts of hair sticking up under a stethoscope. And Mayzie’s super-intelligent Principal sits under an enormous arch of school books, staring at the flower through a three-lensed magnifying glass. The drawings seem even more playful with Seuss’s rhymes about the misplaced daisy. “I’ve seen them quite often in fields growing wild. But never before on the head of a child.” The daisy gets bigger, and soon a scheme hatches in the mind of Dr. Eisenbart. “I think that Mayzie and her plant / Could help me get a research grant.” Dr. Seuss seems to be hiding a subversive message in his book. Yes, there’s a daisy on the girl’s head – but the grown-ups all have their own agenda. Soon the mayor has converted Mayzie’s flower into a campaign issue. A Hollywood agent named Finagle appears, offering Mayzie his business card. Eventually her miracle is being commercialized, with “Daisy-head burgers and Daisy-head drinks, Daisy-head stocking and Daisy-head sinks.” But Dr. Seuss has one last twist in the story, since Mayzie believes that she’s lost all her friends. She sits in despair, convinced nobody loves her. And soon all the petals of her flower start dropping off one by one. Why? Dr. Seuss explains in a rhyme. “You know about daisies. When love is in doubt, The job of a daisy is Try and Find Out!”
Christmas Bells by Jayson Gaskell

Tarot: The Tower by Pete Janes

Colored pencil, felt marker, pen and ink on bristol. One of only a few tarot cards I created from a perennially back-burner project. My heaviest influence was Aleister Crowley’s Thoth deck, painted by Lady Frieda Harris. Conceptually, the Thoth deck was far ahead of its time, including layers and layers of arabesques, geometry, and hidden images. I monkeyed with the Gamma on the scan of this piece, but I’m not sure if that counts as digital manipulation!
