The time is now
Ether Vying
in mind when I made this image ... and it looked pretty much the same as
it does now with all the same elements. About once a year, I'd open up
the image and play with it some more, futzing with the details. When I
started it, I called in Cosmic Shrine ... and I interpreted the image a
certan way. This summer, when I worked on it pre 9/11, I decided it
looked like an Uvula (that little punching bag hanging from the roof of
your mouth) too. When I looked at it a couple of weeks ago, it took on a
whole new meaning for me. So I finished finessing and jpged it. Shades
of future past. The symbols fall into place in retrospect.

Not to mention that it is a portal.
For me your image had also a different meaning.
Just today there occured a death in my family.
Your image came with other omens
plumming system got strangely broken in the night
and stayed so all day, despite efforts.
If someone is about to die things always get broken....
So many souls are travelling to the other dimensions.
By now I know that my butterfly dream was

Ho-Lee Cow, girl!
That is a very interesting work of art. Nice work! (as usual ;o)
Your sense of textural layering is magnificent and the way you balance all
the shapes in your composition is really great! How you ever conceive of the
shapes to begin with is a mystery to me. But mostly one of your most eye
popping skills is the way you use and contrast warm and cool colors. I have
always liked the way you choose your color pallette, in this piece and in
nearly all the others I've seen of yours too. You have a great color eye. And
How on Earth did you ever get all those skulls to work together like that.
Nice work!
Hey, are you still calling it Cosmic Shrine? Or does CSU stand for Cosmic
Shrine Uvula?
Interesting piece! I think it is very successful!

Mostly I don't. They present themselves and I audition them for the piece! And
then one thing leads to another ... and it kinda evolves itself ... like music,
where what you feel translates into what you play ... improvising while going
with the flow! Gotta love that! I know you know! 8-D

Tanks so much. :-) The skulls were just hours and hours of fun. It all started
with a B&W experiment using elements from photographs I've taken. I called it
Mold of Man ... though now when I look at it I like the shortened MoM better.
Once upon a time I shot stuff at a trophy factory. They had this rack of trophy
parts with guns, men and horseshoes ready to be chrome plated. There was a barrel
full of the bowling women, already chromed. Took shots of them too. Same with the
skulls at a museum. MoM got assmilated by CSU. Resistance was futile! Then I
elaborated on the skulls, duplicated, scaled, rotated, distorted ... layer upon
layer, and had even more hours of soothing skulldraggery! I find working on
something like that to be very therapeutic. Cools my racing, or raced out, brain
and focuses it on something else. I love the creative groove.

I'm taking the liberty of stepping in for Vin-bob at this point 'cause he's on
a trip with the fam and won't be back for a couple of days. He HAS been

There's definitely that. I think the key is to love what you're doing. Because if it's
your 'bliss' then you want to do it all the time. For high energy types, :-) having
several things that one loves to do is the ticket. When one can't or doesn't want to do
detail there's always jamming .. in whatever other media. As long as it feels like play,
it's not hard to motivate. When play becomes work ... it's not play anymore!

I hope you do. But just making art is worth it. It's the process ...

Could be. Some of them start as high rez scans and I work them at 300 ppi and some don't ...
they come from video sources and are only passable as very small prints. It's funny to think
that less than 20 years ago, there was still debate over whether 35 mm photography is an art
form or not ... I think I'd make more money if I manufactured Tshirts! :-D Prolly keep my part
time full time job ...

I'm in the Canadian Banana Belt on Lake Ontairyairyairio. It's probably colder there than where
you are ... and it SUCKS!!

Fingers and toes crossed ... may you make BIG BUCKS with minimal effort and have lots of spare
time to paint your ass off! I've often thought it would be great if patronage came back in a
big way ... and people would pay us just be our wonderful artistic selves! (It's in my anything
is possible file!)
