"If Christ spent an anguished night in prayer, if He burst out from the Cross, 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?' then surely we are also permitted doubt. But we must move on. To choose doubt as a philosophy of life is akin to choosing immobility as a means of transportation."
— Yann Martel (Life of Pi)

Life after Death was painted around the same time as Condemned, and it is quite obvious that they follow the similar dark, gritty and depressing style. I feel the bright pink and red background really helps bring this painting to life and doesn’t detract your attention away from the face. The oily and textured expression and the potent teeth give the coarse face an almost decaying look. On the majority of my paintings I simply sign my name as Adrian but on this particular painting I used my surname (Wallett), and made it quite bold and striking, fitting in well with the whole mood of this dark and powerful piece of art.
Please let me know what you think of my art, all comments are welcome.

The title is a slogan Coca-cola used in 2001. With the Olympics soon to be here, Coca-cola advertising is popping up everywhere. They are trying their best to get the next generation drinking Coke by using China's most popular athletes including Liu Xiang - 110m hurdles, Yao Ming - NBA and Guo Jing Jing - Diving (who is on this one).
The Olympic Games will soon be upon us. With Coca Cola's sponsorship of the Olympics they are going all out to get a new generation of Chinese drinking their products. In response, other soft drink companies are also promoting their products strongly including Chinese brands. This is evident on the public buses in Nanning with a range of advertisements for several different drinks appearing. There is Soccer player David Beckham promoting Pepsi; NBA Basketball player Yao Ming, Olympic 110m Hurdles Gold Medalist Liu Xiang and Olympic Gold Medalist Diver Guo Jing Jing promoting Coke; 7-up; Red Bull; a Green Tea drink; an Ice Red Tea drink; Jackie Chan promoting Ice Green & Red Tea drinks; Wang's Lucky Old Cooling Tea drink; and a couple of different orange flavoured drinks.
Where do we go? The world is unclear and we have many paths to choose from... They all point the same way... will we ever know what path we have taken? Or are we destined to live in dark oblivion?
We went with a couple of friends to Olbrich Gardens again since I realized I should be going there more to take pictures and had a great time. It ended up being mostly cloudy which led to soft lighting for portraits. Worked out great.

I had another version of this image but I couldn't seem to get the post processing how I wanted.
With a bit of fettling in Lightroom and desaturatiing all the colours apart from red it really "popped".
Love this shot, made getting up at 5 worth it!
someone told me that
life is just a circle...
what make a different is your family, lovers, friends...
and how you live your dreams...
My first Second Life fashion shot. Feedback/critique/suggestions are more than welcome.
In the game Second Life, I play the avatar Juushika Redgrave.
Nothing matches black like some more black. I started with the Nomine skirt (slightly tinted), which comes from the Dahlia outfit. I don't like the included shirt, and instead substituted it for the PixelDolls cami, shirt and underwear layers, tinted black. The Sweetest Sin/Custom Inkz tattoo fills in the empty upper half of the dress, but I didn't like how the tattoo cut off at the wrists, so I wore it with the glove base from the SiniStyle RaGe set. The boots work well under the tiered skirt--they're visible, contrast well with the skirt, but are half-hidden and so not too heavy. Amber is one of my few favorite stones, and I think the necklace adds a nice final touch of color.
The ears, tail, whiskers, collar, and glasses are all daily wear for me. This Sin Skins skin is my new favorite, and I wear it almost exclusively. The black-tipped ETD hair, on the other hand, is unusual, but the darker and edgier style seemed to suit the look well. The Sin Skins eyes are my favorite eyes (of the 60 pairs in my collection), and so they're usually the pair I default to when not aiming for a specific eye style.
