Two more weeks left to see my second piece titled "You Have Small Braids Like Spider Threads", 2016 that have been curated into the ART214, a City-wide juried exhibition organized by the City of Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs (OCA) and presented during 2018 Dallas Arts Month.
The first piece "On The Edge Of Passing", 2015 was exhibited at the Bath House Cultural Center from March 24th through April 21st, and the second one is in Oak Cliff Cultural Center from April 28th through June 1st, 2018 in Dallas, Texas, U.S.
Four OCA facilities, the Bath House Cultural Center, the Latino Cultural Center, the Oak Cliff Cultural Center and the South Dallas Cultural Center, are joining forces to organize a multi-venue juried exhibition that will showcase the works of artists who live in Dallas and in the Greater North Texas region.
ART214 is a four-section collaborative exhibition that gives the citizens of Dallas an opportunity to discover and enjoy the work of talented local and regional visual artists. Each of the partnering cultural center brings its own audiences, artists, communities and history. By scheduling connected dates to display a different section of the show at each center, as if presenting “four chapters of the same book,” the ART214 exhibition creates a unique opportunity for the public to visit all the centers during Dallas Arts Month, while also promoting collaboration and cross-pollination of artists and audiences.

Tank badge on a custom Harley-Davidson motorcycle, interesting that this image looks much better on an ipad with retina display, the gloss stands out more.
The badge is from a 1950's home furnace.

I titled this one distraction because this is the scene that I was concentrating on when the kayaker was heading out on his fishing trip! This capture was made a bit later but the colors were beginning to develop in the sky! Photo was taken on Armand Bayou just south of Bay Area Park!

As titled because all the lines seem to meet at the point where the figure is overlooking the bluff. And I'm not sure but I think that figure is Elemental Photographer aka Shad... hi there and thanks for posing!
I metered for the sky and foreground with the bluff cast in shadow, I like the result as the bluff eases the transition between the two. What do you think... good or bad? Feel free to critique
Titled for the #FlickrFriday group week's challenge: second wind. Couple of reasons -- the band has sort of a "second wind" playing out on its 40 anniversary tour, and the current lead singer of Foreigner was crazy full of energy. So lots of second winds for him during the concert, including having fun with the photo pit photographers. Photographed for St. Louis Magazine.
I titled this one "Mimicry" because I aimed to emulate the editing style you can find in this picture by Enrico Fossati, a photographer I have followed for years and whose style I absolutely love:

I'd give myself a 7.5/10. Still have more photoshop skills to learn!
Titled in full as "young girl in high collared white blouse, with long hair suggesting informality", this Mason Collection image is indeed a little more casual and candid than the studio formality we tend to see in these collections. A more personal image from the Mason collection perhaps?
The community suggests that, if indeed this is perhaps (obviously unconfirmed) a family member, that it could be Sarah Mason, who would have been in late teens or early 20s during the catalogue range ascribed to this image....

The companion piece to "Master Builder". Titled after the song that follows "Master Builder" on Gong's seminal, 1974 album, "YOU". "A Sprinkling of Clouds" is, still, to date probably the greatest musical creation Gong has ever recorded.
Tim Blake, the band's synthesist had a unique style completely in a universe all it's own. Not so much a keyboardist of the ilk of contemporaries, Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman, Blake's skill was not as a "player" so much as being brilliantly talented at producing scintillating, liquid, highly evocative colours and textures with VERY simple machines !!! His imagination with those "museum" instruments boggles the mind here on "A Sprinkling of Clouds".
The rest of the band's members each puts in a stunning performance, but here it's Blake's synthesizers and mellotrons that stand out as one of the most unique and imaginative offerings of both 70's and contemporary synthesizer work.
I started with an image of clouds and processed and processed and processed until I got something that I hope reflects some of the beauty of the song and gives synesthetic resonance with Tim Blakes remarkable synthesizer invention.
Music Link: "A Sprinkling of Clouds" on Gong's "YOU". I've linked up 2 versions of the song - the first being the original recording by Gong, the second a 90's remix by dj/producer, Youth. His remix is a stunning creation in itself but exceptionally respectful and sensitive to the heart and beauty of the original. It was included on a rare album called "YouRemixed" which featured many of the top dj/remixers of the 90's re-interpreting the songs on "YOU".

"Grand Prismatic Tourists"
alternatively titled: "When life gives you lemons..."
One of my most-anticipated stops on our recent Yellowstone vacation was the Grand Prismatic Spring. Over the years, I'd seen so many photos of this spectacular searing pool with its vibrant, radiating colors of blue, aqua, green, yellow, orange and finally ending in red or even crimson toward the periphery that I HAD to see it for myself.
When I finally arrived I was disappointed.
The low angle of the sun (which I originally thought would be an asset to photographing this location), and the abundance of moist air wafting up from the waters surface acted as a waving white vapor curtain - obscuring my vision from seeing all but a small sliver of the vibrant hues i'd been yearning to see. My trip here was a bust!
....or was it?
As I stood there feeling sorry for myself, I noticed the other tourists - seemingly having a similar problem, moving higher and lower, left and right, closer and further away in a seemingly choreographed fashion in an effort to see more of the spring. Watching them became quite entertaining for me and with that i realized that my little side-trip here may not be lost. The tourists struggling like I did to see through the veil WAS the photo. It captured, not the natural beauty of the spring, but rather that particular moment in time which can be just as interesting. So, I pulled back down the boardwalk and waited for just the right moment to hit the shutter. "Grand Prismatic Tourists" is the result.
I have titled this series Romanesque England, and so far it does correspond fairly well to what we have seen. Today however, and for the last church in the series, we visit a truly pre-Romanesque wonder, which also claims to be the oldest wooden church in the world: Saint Andrew in the hamlet of Greensted-juxta-Ongar (isn’t that a delicious name in and of itself?) in Essex.
There have been various attempts at dendrochronology dating on the timbers, bringing back results ranging from 845 to 1055 (the latter with a margin of error of 10 to 55 years). The differing results are not surprising: even though the best oak wood was certainly selected for the walls, it is to be expected that a lesser specimen went undetected and had to be replaced a couple hundred years down the road. The oldest parts (the walls of the nave) indeed appear to be what we in Continental Europe would call Carolingian, and even though that church was subjected to a lot of later alterations (the chancel is 16th century and the wooden tower 17th), it retains a unique and enormously attractive atmosphere as an ancient place of worship. The southern porch and three dormer windows were also added during the 17th century, and unfortunately further remodeled during the extensive Victorian “restoration” this church had to undergo —or should I say withstand?
Archæologists even tell us that a previous, very basic church, probably existed here as early as the late 500s, as traces of it have been found under the present chancel, which replaced an earlier, timber-made one. It may even have succeeded a more ancient, and Pagan, place of worship: early Christianity is known for having so “appropriated” (or should I say “expropriated”?) temples and oratories of cults it sought to replace. Building a church over them was a convenient way to obliterate previous constructions, effectively wiping them from the sight of the next generation —and generational succession happened quickly in those times when life was terribly short. Memory often remained through spoken tradition, though, and sometimes still remains to this day, albeit deformed by the many retellings...
Most of the generations that came before, say, the second half of the 20th century, either didn’t care about maintaining old buildings they inherited from their forefathers, or didn’t know how to do the job properly. They razed and replaced, or they maimed and rent, however well-intentioned they may have been. Considering, it is kind of miraculous that this extremely old church, even more so as it is made of a material not as durable as stone, has managed to reach our times relatively unscathed, at least as far as the nave is concerned.
This is a must-see for anyone interested in the Middle Ages, a truly unique survivor of Carolingian times... even if finding it isn’t the easiest thing, even with a good satnav!
Let’s get it over with, so we don’t have to go back to it: the brick-made 16th century chancel. Now that we’ve seen it, let’s move on!

Title: Gumball Machine (linocut)
Artist: Wayne Thiebaud 1970
The year was 1987, and DC had just re-booted their line of stories with the enormous book-spanning story titled Crisis on Infinite Earths! During this time, DC used this event as a jumping off point for new readers and “re-imagined” their characters for the years to come! Nearing the end of the Bronze Age DC was really struggling as a company so this was a way to boost sales, among other things like fix some continuity errors and such. A lot of characters received re-boots, but George Perez’s first story from 1987 is (in my mind) one of the most pivotal stories in the post-Crisis landscape!
Prior to ‘87 Wonder Woman’s popularity waned and was (like many other books at the end of The Bronze Age) on the verge of cancellation! Now George Perez was the illustrator for Crisis, as well as Titans and a handful of other projects before this so the guy was relatively well known already, and as you can imagine, his Wonder Woman follow-up project was gonna be a hit!
Newer fan's to DC might just assume that The Wonder Woman mythos was always the way it was, right? But in fact, Perez was responsible for the ties to Greek mythology the renaming of Paradise Island to Themyscira, even revitalizing the reason “Diana” was a name of Roman decent, plus as the illustrator for the first fourteen issues, Perez tweaked the costume to lose the heels too (because heels are dumb)!
Really though, if you can think of any modern ideas of from Wonder Woman, Perez probably came up with them first :P
So with the first issue hitting shelves in November of that year, it was an instant classic! In the midst of Watchmen and TDKR titles, Wonder Woman was a stark contrast but a welcome one! Some even go so far as to compare it to those books in terms of game-chaging stories!
The first book boldly begins with the origins of The Amazons and their rebirth/emergence from domestic abuse (via Cavepeople in 30,000BC). We start the story off with a spiritual essence that releases from a woman, killed in the Neanderthal conflict, that ascends to the heavens. Specifically this is her soul being sent to the underworld where a small group of Greek deities have grouped it with others quoted as “lives cut short by man’s fear and ignorance”
(So right there it set's the stage as a boundary-pushing story) :P
Anyway, these deities plan to rebirth them in order to “fix the world” and of course not everybody is cool with the notion (especially Ares who’s indifferent to humankind as long as there’s conflict to derive his power from) He makes a claim that HE could fix the world with War and Terror (in a cleansing kind of way).
To no surprise, and despite the Old God's intents, the Amazons are created in secret anyway!
Through many a millennia later, they come into conflict with Hercules and his men! Through battles and wars, at some point the Amazons become ashamed of who they’ve become as a people (resorting to violence time and time again). They eventually retreat to Themyscira, and this leads Hippolyte to create Diana out of clay, being blessed by the Old Gods to give her life.
Now I’m going to skip ahead here to this issue your looking at (Wonder Woman No.6) (so spoilers for something that came out almost thirty years ago I guess).
With the culmination of the previous five books, it all leads up to where Ares has occupied a Nuclear launch silo and plans to lead the world into all out mass warfare to set his cleansing plan in motion!
With the help of Steve Trevor and some of Diana’s new human friends, the team infiltrates the silo and Wonder Woman comes to an incredible conflict with Ares! Rather than punching her way through a problem like Superman would, Diana uses The Lasso if Truth to bind Ares and show him the future he knew would always come true if he were to send the world into eternal war.
The truth is that eventually, he’d have nothing left to fight for. He’d rule over nothing but rubble (and a huge credit to George Perez as the writer), this truth moves Ares to tears!
He of course releases his grasp on the soldiers running the Nuclear Facility and Wonder Woman emerges the victor!
***
This is one of my absolute favorite Wonder Woman stories still to this day and I’m really happy to have finally recreated this cover!
The use of Perez's black inks alongside the primary color palette that Tatjana Wood provided, its an absolutely wonderful piece of art in the comic world!
Plus, FunnyBrick's custom Ares minifigure is the absolute perfect design for it! I couldn't be happier to own another one of his figures! :)
Oh and on another great topic, Abraham Riesman wrote a great article on George Perez and his influence on the Wonder Woman film! You should go give that a read if you get the chance!
