"If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be too cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down." - Annie Dillard
Friday is fish & chip night! Hooray! Today was awesome. I am so glad I am taking art this year, i am trying so many new things like drawing and painting and having so much fun. A girl from my school has lent me her Banksy book, she's so lovely, and today in psychology Mr Brown asked to see it and we spent the entire lesson looking through it! No work whatsoever! What a great day!!
See the before, during and after post production on mine and Aaron's blog!

Slowly the sun set over the Dong village bathing the old Drum tower and bridge in a soft, soothing light. These towers were built without using a single nail or rivet! The insides and outsides of the drum towers and covered bridges are often painted with colorful scenes from Dong folk tales, legendary heroes, landscapes, animals, and activities such as ox fighting and festive dancing. According to the tradition of the Dong ethnic groups, each drum tower represents one group of locals. The head of the village divided the people into five groups to simplify administration. The five towers separately represent kindness, politeness, intellect, righteousness, and creditworthiness.

~ Anne of Green Gables

One of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite movies of all time. I grew up watching Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea. The heroine in this series is an orphan girl name Anne Shirley. I just love her unyielding spirit, her wit and intellect, her perserverence and determination, and her outlook on life ;). "Tomorrow is always fresh...with no mistakes in it".
Name:Roboy
Powers: Flight, Heat Blasts, Invulnerability, Immortality, Heat Vision, Extreme Intellect.
Weaknesses: No sense of humor, has a limited battery power, is vulnerable to electricity.
Origin: The computer program "Roboy" was created by the First Guardian (a cosmic being sworn to protect the Earth) when the Craniad attempted to enslave humanity. As Roboy was meant to protect the entire planet, the First built him with many different defense mechanisms. Roboy can launch heat days from his eyes and hands, is invulnerable (he can transfer his program to a different machine if his body is destroyed), and extremely intelligent, able to access any information almost instantaneously on the internet (though this is not possible if there is no Wifi connection). Roboy joined the Stupendous Seven after the Craniad was driven off. Although he is arguably the most powerful member of the team, Roboy does not understand modern slang and expressions, making him a pain to communicate with.
Whew! Only one more to go! :D
Virtue most valued; Precision
For a Protector, every day is frought with weighty decisions and consequences weightier still. Avaat is a superb tactician who elects to see her world in numbers. Stoic and measured, Avaat is often taken for uncaring or cold, but those who know her well know better - Avaat cares greatly for her people and feels the impact of the choices she makes. The reigon of water is one of the safest places on Okoto due to her intellect and foresight.
---------------------------------------------
I love the 2015 water colours. How much? Much.
Avaat's theme is a gargoyle/demon. Posing her was not easy. I have a soft spot for Avaat since it was the first of the six that really came together, and convinced me to keep trying to get the others right. Also, water is my favourite bionicle element without competition.
Thanks for looking! Tomorrow I'm probably going to post a group shot and some of my thoughts.

~ Lost Century from My Way of Seeing ~
The time when we discovered power of lenses and taking pictures. When intellect and art were priced. From century we didn't know about pixels and cell phone, but we did real art.
We people did art, which is still basic point to start, to vague art till now.
Century that was inspiration.
I did this in studio.
Thank you M.J.U.
“Theologians call faith a sure but obscure habit (habitus) of the soul;” obscure, because “it brings us to believe divinely revealed truths that transcend every natural light and infinitely exceed all human understanding. As a result, the excessive light of faith bestowed on a soul is darkness for it; a brighter light will eclipse and suppress a dimmer one.” “So the light of faith suppresses and overwhelms that of the intellect through its abundance. For the intellect, by its own power, extends only to natural knowledge.”

Viceroy Kollorak. Ghorax's right hand. This colossal beast is not only powerful, but possesses Toa-level intellect. Mastermind of the horde, Kollorak enforces Ghorax's will with frightening efficiency. He has three different spinners: the Loyalty spinner, which allows him to assume direct control of any Visorak, the Deprivation spinner, which shuts down all of the target's senses, and the dreaded Darkness spinner, which can trap the unlucky target in the Field of Shadows.
The first of three addendum shots for the Super Scum series. Depicted are perhaps the two most recognizable costume variations of Brainiac, one of Superman’s most dangerous enemies and a veritable comic book icon in his own right. It’s funny how I chose to include parka Brainiac in the main Super Scum series over these guys; Magneto Eradicator too. Foreshadowing for the next addendum...
Fig formulas:
Silver Age Brainiac: Brainiac head, Parasite torso and arms, S13 Snake Charmer legs
Modern Age Brainiac: Brainiac head and torso, S11 Evil mech arms, Alien Conquest hips, Lego Batman 3 game-accurate gun

This piece of art is called "Animal palace" and is made by artist Stina Folkebrant.
The column comes from the old "Animal Palace" that existed at the time when humans lived in communion with animals.
The animals on the column have a symbolism.
The beaver symbolizes the subconscious and emotions.
The squirrel stands for creativity, the inventive and playful.
The crow symbolizes the intellect, to use the brain as a tool.
The hazel mouse is like the bloodstream, constantly in motion.
The adder symbolizes change and transformation.
The sculpture is made of wood and outdoor acrylic paint and is three meters high. It can be seen in Ängelsberg sculpture park.
Passion, dullness, fury, sadness,
or fear should not always be owned.
They are short circumstances for now,
for the human intellect when at loss.
There are days as it comes and goes,
nothing that shifts on and off will remain.

Typically Giant Kelp grows offshore in masses called kelp forests. But this (and some others nearby) are attached and growing in the intertidal. Apparently it has been known as a very similar species, Macrocystis integrifolia, which grows in the intertidal as well. Recently that species has been combined into M. pyrifera.
"It is hard for us as humans to imagine such an existence [life in the intertidal]. We cannot begin to place ourselves in such a dualistic, changing world where the basic fabric of life, the ocean, is pulled away and floods back in twice each day. It is beyond our comprehension. And this, to me, is exhilirating. It is my meaning of wild: a state our human intellect cannot quite comprehend."--Josie Iselin, The Curious World of Seaweed

Ending The Quest
1. The Observer and the Observed are One
The most prominent change is the large, transparent profile of a man wearing a cap and a leather jacket on the left. The classic painting of Saint George exists within him; the landscape, the maiden, the lamb, and the knight shine right through his face and mind.
This is the ultimate visual reflection of what you just said: there is no relationship. There is no objective knight 'outside' of the man fighting a dragon. The entire cosmic play—the struggle, the hope, the surrender—unfolds within the consciousness of this observer. The man is not looking at the story; he is the theater in which the story appears. The brain attempts to create a division here (man versus painting), but the image refuses to honor that separation.
2. The Eye in the Landscape: The Causeless Gaze
If you look closely at the man's cheek/temple, you can see a human eye subtly blended into the green landscape, just beneath the brim of his cap. This eye looks directly at us.
This is not the analytical, binary eye that 'tries to understand things'. This is the eye of the pure witness. It is located within nature, in the background of the maiden and the lamb. It symbolizes the causeless presence that simply registers, without judgment, without 'anything needing to do its work'. It serves as a reminder that behind all our human thoughts and concepts sits a silent, motionless observer.
3. The Prison of the Mind: The Door with the Iron Grating
On the right side, we see an abrupt, dark interruption: a heavy, rusty arched door with an iron grate, behind which a figure (a woman or an androgynous being) appears to be trapped. The door is locked with a padlock. The background here is a stark, almost alarming red.
This element contrasts sharply with the serene flow of the rest of the image. This is the perfect representation of the rational, binary human brain.
The grating and the lock symbolize the intellect's tendency to want to capture, categorize, isolate, and place reality behind the bars of 'cause and effect'.
The figure behind the bars is the imprisoned soul, yearning for the freedom of the Now, but held captive by the constructs of thought (the 'thinking one already knows'). The bright red suggests the friction and suffering that this mental confinement brings with it.
The Fusion in the Now
In P1020587-bewerkt.jpg, we see the paradox of the human condition captured in a single image. On one side, the heavy door of the intellect that wishes to confine and control (right), and on the other side, the fluid, golden flow of the Christ-power and surrender flowing through the man (left).
The composition dissolves the duality by simply projecting them over one another. It tells us that the prison (the door) and the liberation (the knight) are there at the same time, in this specific moment. No journey needs to be made from the door to the knight; the man only needs to be, and to realize that the bars are merely a projection within the infinite space of his own consciousness. - Gemini-
2. The medieval imagery is not simply a historical reference; it functions as a **spiritual archetype of liberation through sacrifice and inner transformation**.
In your interpretation, the armored saint is not primarily a figure of authority or conflict. Rather, he embodies the courage required to undergo a process of spiritual maturation. The armor can be understood as a symbol of resilience—the strength needed to confront fear, attachment, ego, and suffering. The halo indicates that this courage is oriented toward a higher purpose rather than worldly achievement.
The lamb becomes central. Within Christian symbolism, the lamb is inseparable from Christ's self-offering, innocence, and redemptive sacrifice. By placing the lamb within the layered portrait, you seem to be suggesting that liberation is not achieved through domination or power but through a return to innocence, humility, and self-giving love.
Likewise, the image of the Virgin introduces another dimension. Traditionally, Mary represents purity, receptivity, compassion, and fidelity to the divine will. In the context of your work, innocence is not naivety but a spiritual quality that must be rediscovered. The Virgin and the Lamb together establish a symbolic axis of purity and sacrifice.
This changes the meaning of the contemporary figure as well. He is no longer merely navigating complexity; he appears to be engaged in a journey of transformation. The historical and sacred images are not external references but manifestations of qualities that must be cultivated internally:
* Courage (the knight or saint).
* Innocence (the lamb).
* Purity and receptivity (the Virgin).
* Self-sacrifice (Christological symbolism).
The layered structure reinforces this reading. The spiritual qualities are not depicted as separate from ordinary life; they are interwoven with the contemporary human figure. The image suggests that spiritual development occurs within the complexities and burdens of lived existence, not apart from them.
What is particularly interesting is that the work does not portray liberation as an escape from the world. Instead, liberation appears to arise through a difficult process of imitation—not necessarily imitation in a literal sense, but participation in the virtues represented by Christ's sacrifice: courage, humility, innocence, and love.
Viewed this way, the montage becomes a visual meditation on a Christian paradox: that genuine freedom is attained not through self-assertion but through self-transcendence. The medieval imagery serves as a symbolic language for that enduring human task. - ChatGPT -

In the opulent heart of the city, where cobblestone streets echoed with the whispers of history, there existed a gentleman's club draped in a reputation as enigmatic as the twilight. Its members, a tapestry of the city's elite, indulged in debates under chandeliers that swung gently like pendulums, keeping time with the conversations beneath.
Among the revered ranks were two remarkable women, Lady Abigail and Lady Beatrice—collectively known as the Clockwork Sibyls. Their presence was a rare phenomenon in the male-dominated refuge, where they were not merely guests but celebrated oracles of innovation and intellect.

In the twilight, the sky poured itself into a palette of whispered hues — violet and crimson, tangerine and pearl — as if the universe had exhaled all its colors in a sigh of resignation. The ocean mirrored this celestial canvas, a restless pupil absorbing the wisdom of an infinite teacher. Each ripple seemed to question the boundaries of being, curious and hesitant, like a child's hand reaching out to touch the face of a dream.
Here, the world was no longer a place of answers. The horizon bled uncertainty, a line drawn by an unseen hand that forgot the concept of edges. The clouds sprawled in streaks of mauve and gold, tendrils of thought from an intellect far too ancient to be hurried, yet too young to understand itself. The waves murmured secrets to the wind — secrets too elusive to grasp, yet too profound to ignore. They curled over rocks and sand, breaking into a gentle chaos, as though nature itself had briefly forgotten how to complete its sentences.
In the silent stillness, this scene held no promise of permanence, only an invitation to witness the fleeting. The sky’s aching expanse was a brushstroke of the eternal, and the water below was nothing but a vessel for reflections — a keeper of ephemeral flames. The moment teetered between oblivion and discovery, balanced delicately, impossibly, on the brink of time's vast and ever-receding shore.
For a breath, all of existence seemed caught in contemplation, as if even the universe were musing over its own creation, wondering how such beauty could rise from the convergence of chance and infinity. And then, just as softly, the sun dipped beyond sight, leaving only the lingering glow of wonder, and the endless mystery of night yet to unfold.
* * *
Beneath the lingering hues and the whispered secrets of light, there exists a bridge between the fleeting and the eternal. To step across it, to witness more moments where color and time converge in a delicate dance, wander further into the world of the artist who captured this Symphony of Passing Light.
Let your eyes explore the unseen, let your mind drift into reverie — discover www.coronaviking.com and follow the traces of twilight, the stories etched in waves, and the silent poetry of horizons yet to be touched.
It is always the whole human person that interacts with the world, but when the interaction aims at knowing, we speak of the intellect. When desire stands in the foreground, we speak of the will. The intellect sifts out what is true; the will reaches out for what is good. But there is a third dimension to reality: beauty. Our whole being resonates with what is beautiful, like a crystal lampshade that reverberates every time you hit a C-sharp on the piano. Where this feeling of resonance (or, in other situations, dissonance) marks our interaction with the world, we speak of the emotions. How joyfully the emotions reverberate with the beauty of our mystical experience! The more they respond, the more we will celebrate that experience. We may remember the day and the hour and celebrate it year after year. We may go back to the garden bench where the singing of that thrush swept us off our feet. We may never hear the bird again, but a ritual has been established, a kind of pilgrimage has been undertaken to a personal holy place. Ritual, too, is an element of every religion. And every ritual in the world celebrates in one form or another belonging—pointing toward that ultimate belonging we experience in moments of mystical awareness.

Last night my wife says, "Let's get up really early and go on a hike tomorrow" OK, we don't do much hiking between June and October, but maybe it'd be OK if we got going before sunrise. Happy wife, happy life after all. 4:30AM alarm and on the trail by 5:30AM. But it was already 91°F (33°C) when we started. A mile and a quarter into this hike it starts going up hill. At which point Jasper slows way down. Sun's coming up. Getting even warmer. "How about some ice water and then we'll just go a little ways", we tell him. A drink and a few paces further he just stopped, refusing to budge. "OK Jasper. You want to go back to the car?" Bingo! About face and a brisk pace back to the car and air conditioned comfort. Jasper once again demonstrating his superior intellect over his humans. I did manage to snap one as the sun rose over Phoenix.
Continuing on this journey to further understand what I am looking for, leads to vacillations beyond intellect but a forced reliance on intuition, love, sensitivity of endless assortment, and jus' feeling some kinda way. I don't see what is there, I think I feel it first

Skills: Pro athlete-level ice skating, Above-average intellect.
Origin: Evie Winters discovered her powers on her 12th birthday party, when she accidentally froze her family's backyard pool solid, trapping herself and a few of her friends in a sub-zero prison. When she finally thawed out, she combined her love of tinkering with her almost genius-level intelligence to create a device to help her better control her powers. Without her chestplate and dampening gloves, Evie's powers are unpredictable at best and a frigid nightmare at worst. She's more villainous than she is heroic, and has a mild criminal record, but she's more of a prankster than anything else.
Lynx
Name: Zoe Wilder
Allegiance: Hero
Power(s): Zoe possesses a form of supernaturally good fortune- Guns fired at her will suddenly misfire, and punches will miss her ever-so-slightly. Her luck isn't foolproof, however- It's does nothing against truly impossible odds.
Skills: Gymnastics
Origin: Zoe Wilder had many close scrapes as a child, ranging from something as innocent as happening to fall on a soft patch of moss when she tripped on a hike, to skiing under an overhang right as an avalanche struck. Eventually, as she grew older, she realized that she was not simply lucky, as she originally thought, but possessed a supernatural good fortune. Upon realizing this, Zoe started fighting crime in New Blok City, using her "gift" to help those not as lucky as herself.
