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

Self Potrait

Self Portrait

 

Self Portrait
This is us
Hopes & dreams
Power; lost & gained
Influence; retained & weaned
Children; birthed & gone
Loves; wilted & growing
Ambition; achieved & withered
Ageing; coming & coming
This is us

Seasons & Arrows

Seasons & Arrows

Seasons & Arrows
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

Cultural Collapse Collage

I never jotted anything down about Cultural Collapse Collage. This work of  loafart is a critics dream because there are just so many things to be said or that can be said. The rather unfortunate thing for me is that i am rushing this and might have to revisit this piece of art again because it is so rich.
Cultural Collapse Collage underscores societal and racial mixing.

There is a pint of every other coloration in every other human you meet

But Cultural Collapse Collage goes beyond the mixing of races. The collapse also suggest a breakdown. 
The breakdown we are talking about has nothing to do with every body keeping to there own side of the wall -that kind of breakdown makes for unity. But the fact that culture is breaking for the negative and things are going haywire.

There is the sense of fatality when viewing this art and one can even dare say that it is sadistic and does not give any room of hope. But at the same time the collapse could actually mean hope as humanity is yet to breakdown to the point of actual collapse and will never (in theory) actually do that. Cultures and civilizations have crumbled and other have risen to take their place in prominence. There is still (definitely) more to be said about Cultural Collapse Collage

Jagged edge: A Phrase In Picture

                                                                Jagged Edge


Life is full of edges. There are times we choose the edge to go over. There are times circumstances makes the choice for us. There are other times when we just can't say how or why but the point is, life is full of edges

The Good Ol' Days

There was a time i posted at least once a week..those were the days. Today we want to post a new art work. I want to see if we can get back on track....the interview, an article or two and the wrap up. The artwork of today is apt...i christened it Great Britannia. There was a time they ruled everything they saw...at least as much as the other powers that be allowed. Great Britannia doesn't talk about the past but actually points to the future. It talks about hope and restoration but more of this later. Today we just want to do the uploading.

first upload

hi, I finally got one of our art works uploaded on freemarket. The first to be is the error artwork and the last time i checked. it had about seven views but no downloads yet.....price is at $1.

The Canvass as art

hi, the interview will continue another time. Today we want to look at the canvass as a part of the art in Loaf-art.
The canvass is Microsoft Paint program (Start/program/accessories/paint). In this case it is part of the art because it won't be loaf-art if it isn't. Every art work that we will be displaying here would be on the canvass so it is very well part of the art and since this is the case.
The limitation of the paint program works for it here because it means the artist has got to master those limitations so much so that he/she is able to produce an art work that is still meaningful.

The Canvass is an integral part of the Art work and it is really fun if you decide to get into it(as you can see, i want to win converts here).  And art is such that everything involved in that art becomes part and parcel of it, accentuating the various inflections that individualistic interpretation brings (big words)

NB the interview might be concluded on Saturday.
