SEX, PHYSICS and the EVOLUTION of MAN
I remember when I was a kid I went around "the townhouses" asking all the housewives if I could have the cardboard their new pantyhose were wrapped around; hot pressed and glossy on one side, dead flat on the other, rounded corners and perfect for drawing in this skipping dashed way with the new black marker I had discovered. These new EVOLUTION of MAN drawings remind me of the joy I had drawing when I was young and the hopeful wide eyed vision I had for the world and Canada. Canada a beacon of light and progress guiding the world into the future was written on my face. I don't see that look anymore or better to say I see people trying to keep an idea of that face, but glimpsed underneath I see contortions and ticks at the way the world is; an exasperated wince quickly covered up as if to reel in an escaping beast of disillusionment and disbelief.
These new drawings are on a painted fresco like surface, dead flat, skipped and dashed with archival ink they are meant to be studies for an envisioned visage of what we hide underneath our beautiful ones.
The EVOLUTION OF MAN series is accompanied by works from the 2001 "Visions of Photonic Love" exhibition and other related works about the emergence of light at the beginning of the universe and its connection with the orgasm. These works arose from interviewed discussions with physicist Dr. Howard K. C. Yee at the University of Toronto and the subsequent video "notes on a nameless film".
"an attempt to describe the indescribable boundary between the known and unknown universe through interview and visual obliteration; at certain levels of complexity all visualization degrades into mathematics" was written on the DVD sleeve.
This video was awarded "One of the Best Filmmakers Under 25 in Canada Award" which came with a $2500 prize and a trip to Ottawa to meet with the Governor General and Minister of Arts and Culture with 10 other so awarded filmmakers. It was to theirs and my great disappointment to inform them that I was 37 at the time. The exhibition that was derived from this video was originally showed at Edward Day Gallery and then expanded for the Scope Art Fair in New York. Only 4 of these black works remain from the original exhibitions with some studies, other related works and the instigating videos they form a lovely stage backdrop of lust wandering for meaning, reason and purpose in the universe. They were originally accompanied with the phrase:
"Out of the blackness emerged joyous information to wet our lips; but in cruelty its beauty only left us wanting for more as its image slowly faded away."
I believe to approach hard strange and elusive ideas you must use peripheral vision and Newtonian half measures; random cultivation is the path to expression and enlightenment.

I'm in a very creative and inspired 'state' of mind at the moment, tee hee.
I really had fun with these in Studio Indigo.
LYSIANTHUS , unfurling in front of your eyes.
Originating in the West Indies, Mexico, and Central and South America, the flower is known botanically as Eustoma grandiflorum.
The common name comes from the Greek words lysis, meaning 'dissolution' and anthos, meaning 'flower'.
Colours include white, light and dark pink, lavender and deep purple. Double and single-flower varieties exist.
THANK YOU, M, (*_*)

I want to start my 365 project. I'm so excited about it that I have already made the blog.

Stone carving about the entrance of the UBC Main Library (aka the I.K. Barber Learning Centre). Apparently this was a joke by the stonemasons. The monkey-like figure carrying a tablet with "EVOLU" for "evolution" - a reference to the Scopes trial that was on in 1925, the same year the library opened. It is opposite a figure of a man carrying a tablet that says "FUNDA" for fundamentalist! See flic.kr/p/H12WZa
A ceramic Madonna and Child surrounded by a bunch of plastic dinosaurs. I am glad I used a white background since it makes things look good.
Cheers.

This was at a resort in southern Mexico, got up at 5 every morning to watch the sunrise, I was a little disappointed in the colours, the sky was consistently orange at sunrise but I'm not complaining.
No worries for lost keys any more
World has turned a lot. Inventions and evolutions have made our life so simple and easy. And the change is limitless and changing every single moment in every stage and steps of our life.
Almost everything has turned from pen pencil lock to rocket.
Olden days we used to have big pad locks and big keys. Now a day we have numeric or even digital padlocks. No worries for lost keys any more. That’s a big evolution at a stage of our daily life.
My original 1/72 scale F-35 in the background though I've never been happy with the nose...been working on a few designs and finally getting close to something I like better...now waiting on some new parts to finish.
I thought I'd have a crack at rigging outside at the mercy of the sungod, Turns out he had something special in mind for me this afternoon ;)
Have a good weekend everyone!

about this image. i KNOW i have seen it before, but i can't recall for the life of me whether that was in a dream/daydream (which happens to me with a lot of my pictures) or whether i have seen it in a book or even here on flickr. if the latter is the case and it was on your or one of your contacts' photostreams, please let me know and i will delete mine!
otherwise: have a wonderful day- i know i will, my inlaws are on their way here, woohoo!!!!
My-o-my … how things have changed!
Here we see Adam tempting the apple in the gardens of Eaton.
A male blade of grass (physically) looks exactly like a female blade of grass and their gender can only be determined by inspecting their DNA.
The hemp plant however has an intense overt sexuality.
So what have we learned from this?

Hippeastrum, these plants are popularly but erroneously known as Amaryllis and are cultivars of bulbous plants in the family Amaryllidacea.
The botanical name Amaryllis is taken from a shepherdess in Virgil's pastoral "Eclogues"(An eclogue is a poem in a classical style on a pastoral subject.
Poems in the genre are sometimes also called bucolics. Virgilius wrote the Bucolica, consisting of 10 Eclogues).
As a flower symbol it has come to mean "Dramatic", which seems most fitting here!
Hippeastrum is a popular bulb flower for indoor growing, it is Greek for "horseman's star" (also known today as "knight's star").
Thank you for your visits and comments, M, (*_*)

Europe, Portugal, Porto, Dona Maria Pia and São Jão railway bridges (uncut)
There's some 120 years between the construction of these two railway bridges in Porto. Quite an evolution. For info info about them, check out the following post.
