On Watch I
 |
| On Watch I |
On Watch I. Why I? There are 3 variants all consistent with the loafart color code. I was stumped with the color combinations, not knowing what to keep and what to discard. So I kept all 3 and decided to make them variants based on their color combination. Each is an artwork on its own right but they all have the same poem.
About On Watch I: There seems to be more passion here. It was an epic occasion that was not lacking in fiery passion in spite of all the snow and ice.

On Watch
Now we see it fall
Now we cross
Now they can't stop us
Now we are united
Now we march
Now we hold one banner
Now we shall conquer
Now no fear of being killed
Now we can't die
Now we watch
Now we see it fall
Now we can't shout
Now it falls
Now we shall conquer
Now no fear of being killed
Now we can't die
Now we be dead

On Watch III

| On Watch III |
About On Watch III:-There is more realism with the white background clearly depicting the snow and it may also help with the contrast and clarity.

Now we see it fall
Now we cross

Now no fear of being killed

Now we watch
Now we see it fall
Now we can't shout
Now it falls
Now we shall conquer
Now no fear of being killed
Now we can't die
Now we be dead

On Watch II

| On Watch II |
On Watch II. Why II? There are 3 variants all consistent with the loaf-art color code. I was stumped with the color combinations, not knowing what to keep and what to discard. So I kept all 3 and decided to make them variants based on their color combination. Each is an artwork on its own right but they all have the same poem.
About On Watch II:-It is cooler. Color changes everything especially with interpretation and I may have to post a whole piece on this.

Together In Blood

Together in Blood
What a time to bond!
This last hour
I kept all this for you
But we must now go together
How do I show affection?
Under this fire
Hold my hands
Let's go through that gate together
What a time to bond!
This last hour
I kept all this for you
But we must now go together
How do I show affection?
Under this fire
Hold my hands
Let's go through that gate together

Willow
Follow the wind
It won't break you
Agree with it
It will only bend you
It may rage
It can't uproot you
It is rigid
Be pliable
It may rage
It can't change you

Time can be deceptive
Not intentionally
Everything and anything
Can make it look fast
or slow
The monotony of sound
Or the clanging hooves of war
The gentle breeze of clement weather
Or the brewing darkness of a winter's storm
Time can be deceptive
Not intentionally

Everything and anything
Can make it look fast

Pyramid City: Now the Poem Matters

| Pyramid City |
Pyramid City
What is this?
We are going somewhere
But this is as good
A destination
Let's impact them
And move on
But impact
Has got to be impactful
Let's make a difference
Let's watch with time
Then we'll be on our journey
Away from Pyramid City
What is this?

But this is as good

Let's impact them
And move on
But impact

Let's make a difference
Let's watch with time
Then we'll be on our journey
Away from Pyramid City

7 Boundaries
Life is about boundaries
At times we see them
Like prisoners on the other side
Barbed-wired see-through lattice
Other times they are so far away
Like peaks of mountain tops
Encased in clouds
We know its a distance away
Yet we can only imagine
The height of that wall
We have multiple boundaries
Some close, some far
Each their own kingdom
7 kingdoms
Like prisoners on the other side
Barbed-wired see-through lattice
Other times they are so far away
Like peaks of mountain tops
Encased in clouds
We know its a distance away
Yet we can only imagine
The height of that wall
We have multiple boundaries
Some close, some far
Each their own kingdom
7 kingdoms

Oaths
 | |||
| Oaths |
The force of an oath
Is only as meaningful
As the maker or hearer takes it
We pay our debts
We keep our oaths
Says who?
Circumstances will want to interject
Yet the force of an oath...

Seasons & Arrows
There will always be seasons
Will there always be arrows?
We ask with hope
The alternative is hopeless
There will always be seasons
Will there always be arrows?
We ask with hope
The alternative is hopeless
Tremors of the swooshing sound
Death knells that never ceases
There will always be seasons
Will there always be arrows?
We can only ask in hope
There will always be seasons
Will there always be arrows?
We can only ask in hope

HongKong Under Construction II Video: A Series of Frames
Herein lies the second part of Hong Kong Under Construction; Hong Kong Under Construction II
About this...
Each frame builds on the next but they also stand alone as artworks. The video itself stands alone as an individual artwork and not a collection of frames. Yet it is a natural continuation of Hong Kong Under Construction I. Now that you understand me perfectly...

Oh We Now Have An App: Paint LoafART App
History
The things we do just because we can. We now have an app, which to me is a big thing. Yet some 3 hours before it was published, it was not in any plans.
It was a spur of the moment thing. If you recall how loafart started, i.e. doodling with the Microsoft Paint program in between jobs. Well I was on a job, doing some background research into something that has been taking my time lately. One of the things got me looking at app building platforms. After trying out AppMakr or so, and got this nice shock at the tail end of building an app with them from scratch (all $499 of it if my memory serves me right), I remembered I had come across a platform that I recommended fro someone. I had forgotten the name but still remembered how they went about getting people to sign up with them. Google did the rest.
That is how I was re-introduced to AppGeyser, methinks and I built an app with them on the spot.
The App
Paint LoafART is a blog app. The content is derived from this blog. It is about Paint art, interviews and articles. I have registered it with about 3 platforms now. Two are pending i.e. Amazon and mandago (?) but Aptiote (I think I am mixing them up but I will have them corrected later) was immediate.
Amazon took my time! They asked for everything, including tax (like who does that?). But I felt I had achieved something when it was done -I should because it caused me a whole night of good sleep).
The Challenge
This blog needs content. The app needs to be marketed
The Call to Action
Help.
Download the app from this blog. You will see it at the top left corner of the first page.
Get it from its storefront on that platform I can't recall right now (I really need to get serious)
Get it from appgeyser
Share with friends
Other Matters
I think I have been commissioned to do Loafart for a poet. Keep you posted. Until the next post or making the corrections in this post Cheers
