I don't think that religious groups should get pedantic, after all, the future being orange is probably far more likely than a bloke walking on water and feeding thousands with one fish sandwich.
This was just the usual 'we're all going to die/save your soul/jesus loves you' rubbish. If the future isn't bright then I should like to spend what little time there is left not being harrassed and told I'm going to burn in Hell for the Eternity. Frankly, after a while, it gets boring.
Rant over.
Blackberries have no essence before their existence because there is no Creator. Thus: "existence precedes essence". The juice from existentialist blackberries on dirty hands.
Apologies to Jean Paul Sartre.
Kierkegaard once said "Show me the money! Show me the money!" And then he did a little dance. I think what he meant was this: Existence has no meaning except what we imbue it with. Chain link fences are the same way. So are cheese doodles. Cell phones and currency. Bow ties and measuring tape. This lack of intrinsic value is best illustrated by a crumb cake made with cinnamon and carob. Wait. That wasn't Kierkegaard at all. I'm thinking of Sartre. And now I'm thinking of crumb cake.

This is made for the TMI Paint That Tune! Challenge. This abstract is inspired by the Rogers and Hammerstein 'Carousel Waltz' which opens the musical 'Carousel'
I wanted to capture the feel of the opening of the film version. It's a great opening, rich with stylized acting and jump cuts all timed to the waltz.

Other information - Although my work begins with a photographic image, the intention is not to idealize the mechanical hand. Rather, I wish to surpass the limitations of the visual phenomenon and elicit a viewer’s response to the illusionistic quality of the painting. My work consists of various portraits of human faces, through which I try to investigate existentialism. A face not only represents a subject by reflecting one’s personality and characteristic but also embodies various meanings. The doll-like faces rendered in a manner that lies on the boundary between reality and illusion delivers a certain impact. Such discrepancy in the relationship between image and illusion gives a room for infinite possibilities in the imaginative mind of the viewer.
Created by Duncan Rawlinson, this abstract study explores the visual and psychological weight of form. A somber, silhouetted figure is framed by imposing blocks of deep blue and a sharp red cross, creating a sense of atmospheric density and structural containment. The high-contrast composition and expressive digital brushwork emphasize a narrative of endurance and the silent gravity inherent in the human experience.
According to the three fortunes I received with my two cookies, even in these tough economic times my sly nature will bring about a contagiously thrilling time.
My idea of conveying psychedelics and existentialism through these pictures was delivered through the semitransparent layer of people posing to match the artwork in the background of the photos. Psychedelics are actually a class of drug that cause hallucinations and are said to be linked with discovering things “out of body”. I find this concept fascinating, and i wanted to capture this. in the background the psychedelic and out of body vibe is given off by Alex Grey's artwork lined up with the semitransparent layer. These show the idea that there is a "third eye", so to speak, in all of us. My goal from the artist’s perspective was to capture the viewers eye with strong colors, courtesy of alex grey, and guide their eyes with patterns to look at the detail of the artwork in the background and how the art adds an “inside the person” idea to the portrait of the person
"Sing me something soft,
Sad and delicate.
Or loud and out of key:
Sing me anything."

Right on the coast. Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) in California, next to a cliff. To the right there is the ocean. :)
Another favorite feature at the Indianapolis Children's Museum is the Water Clock in the Sunburst Atrium. It's fascinating to watch this contraption work. It's part art and part mad science, with just enough existentialism thrown in -- it is time, after all.
I took this photo from behind the clock, because all my pictures from the front were weirdly lit, so the hours are on the right and the minutes are on the left, and the numbers are all backwards. The green neon is the clock's pendulum.

Reference to the philosophy of existentialism and absurdism.
Existence precedes essence.
The Absurd is the conflict between the human tendency to seek meaning in life and the human inability to find any.

"Animals learn death first at the moment of death; man approaches death with the knowledge it is closer every hour, and this creates a feeling of uncertainty over his life, even for him who forgets in the business of life that annihilation is awaiting him. It is for this reason chiefly that we have philosophy and religion."
"With the exception of man, no being wonders at his own existence."

'God is far from the reach of human intellect. The only way to God's nearness is God's love as when it settles in the human heart.' - His Holiness Younus AlGohar
