32:365 - Open: The wind is blowing the clouds out tonight for open skies. A "quick" snap in between playing nurse.
Inspiration for ‘Open view’ came from my ADHD mind. It is a way of depicting how my mind works. In the background is a shattered bust of me showing my rib cage, representing my vulnerability and how I leave myself exposed for sake of message. I’ve always had a fascination with death and my awareness of time slipping away. I represented this by the skull ‘death’ card with the Hg on it. Hg represents my fear of one day not being able to exist here due to our polluting of our eco system with heavy metals including mercury. I use game pieces in my work because I am fascinated with games and enjoy quite a few of them. The girl holding the floating shattered egg is a representation of youthfulness and my wife. She is always telling me to free myself from my over thinking of things. The shattered egg with Hg again represents the fragility of our natural environment and our tendency to want to manipulate this from their natural state of being. The darts moving through the piece depict my love for darts and our lack of care when aiming our pointed ideology in the air. The mask of Salvador Dali shows how our past is formed by masks of those that we admire in our formative years. I was inspired to a large degree when I was a youth by Dali. I am represented by the clown holding the paint brush awkwardly at Dali. I have felt a number of times as a clown, existing just for the fleeting moments of amusement in peoples lives with no real purpose other than for a joke. I placed a portrait of my wife peeking through the broken pieces of my life as often people do while I’m working out in the public. The golden fish represents our sea life that we are contaminating with mercury and other heavy metals one day making it where we won’t be able to use fish in our diets. The all seeing eye is a symbol for God and my acknowledgement that He is always watching.
Open View was created with layering basic Prisma Color colored pencils on Stonehenge paper. My busted torso was drawn in with Faber-Castell graphite; F, 2B, 4B and 6B. My methods don't include the use of erasers, blending stumps or solvents of any sort ie, water or alcohol.

One of the few bells on Borobudur that were damaged reveals the Buddha statue inside. Ironically the figure is in contemplation even though the dome cover is removed.

I popped down to Tower Bridge on Sunday night to capture some blue hour city scape shots and to my complete excitement, an alarm went off as we were ushered to the end of the bridge so it could open up to let a tall boat (you can see its lights at the bottom of the shot) pass through.
I would have liked to have a shot with more of the boat in but there were loads of people in front of me also trying to get a good shot of it so I had to tilt the camera upwards to cut them out of the frame.
I've only seen it open up once before this so it was a rare treat to have been in the right place at the right time this time around.
There are a few other shots which in my opinion are compositionally better than this one but I need to do some serious cloning out of people's heads first.
