Someone once asked me if I like the art that I create, and I answered that yes, I do like it. Their reaction made me believe that I should have said otherwise, or played my answer off like I was ashamed, or could do better, or anything more humble than a simple yes. The next time someone asked me if I liked the art that I created, I hesitated, and they caught that hesitation and took it as uncertainty in my craft, and I again felt jilted in my own connection to my work.
The next time I was asked, I was ready to answer. I thought long and hard about why I so quickly said yes the first time, and why that might not be entirely true. I thought about images that I most certainly do not connect with visually from my portfolio. I thought about images that failed. I thought about images long put in the trashcan and permanently deleted. And then I smiled.
I could not say that I didn't like those pictures because I do like them. I love them. I love all of what I do. And I don't love it because of what it looks like. Visual artists are expected to speak about their art visually. What I am drawn to is the imagination. My mind has cultivated hundreds and thousands of worlds that keep me enamored and make me feel whole. My imagination is the source of my power, it is the lifeline that speaks to my soul.
I love what I do because I love my imagination. I love my art because it is an extension of that mind-scape. It is the inside out - the world within, without. It is all of me poured into this tangible form that excites me even when it doesn't work out, or when the trashcan gobbles it up and I'm left with the remembrance of an idea in my mind. There is a certain pride, and love, that comes from creating your truest dreams. There is a confidence that tells you yes, you can love your art, because your art is an extension of yourself.
We are all alone in a town of dreams. It is our world internal. And I think we should love it.

My morning was casual, leisurely, slow almost sloth like in pace...so when this lady almost ran me down (not entirely sure how she missed me...) I did the only reasonable thing...click.......man, she was moving... :)

nie wiem co kocham bardziej
ciebie czy tęsknotę za tobą
czy pocałunki czy pragnienie pocałunków
pewne zaspokojenia
myślałam że już nigdy nie będę pisać wierszy
a teraz serce moje wezbrało miłością jak rzeka
i wystąpiło z brzegów-- jak rzeka
i bystry potok porywa słowa
unosi słowa
i wszystkie mówią o mojej miłości
o mojej tęsknocie
o pragnieniu moim odnawiającym się jak księżyc
gasnącym w słońcu twojego spojrzenia

I don't know what I love more
you or the longing after you
the kisses or the desire of kisses
certain gratifications
I thought that I would never again write poems
and now my heart has swelled up like a river
and stepped out of its banks -- like a river
and a quick stream snatches away the words
carries off the words
and they all speak of my love
of my longing
of my desire renewing itself like the moon
dimming in the sun of your glance

Quick visit to Arcot to let someone I know try out my setup as he is wanting to upgrade, would be a crime not to take a shot whilst there
While driving home through a shower and into the sun, I knew that a rainbow would appear. This was the best I could get on my phone camera.
Spent the day in Lake District with Alex Bell.
Quick stop off at a location I've been after shooting for ages!

No sooner had I touched down in Cyprus than I was planning my return journey home due to family illness back in the UK & didn't even have chance to unpack my camera from it's case. Things are looking much better now but my flickr time is limited at the moment so please accept my apologies if I'm not able to visit as often as I'd like for a while.
So yeah, I had these Red X and Mr.Bloom figs lying around, I kinda threw them together and wasn't sure if I was gonna post them, but I decided I would. So tell me if you like them and please comment if you fav! :)
Back on shed at 17.00 with Stanier 8F 2-8-0 48305 & it was getting dark. I had prepped the loco and run two trips in the morning when the relief fireman asked if I could take his afternoon turn too. Being young and foolish I agreed!
I fired the first trip but let Andrew the trainee take the last one (I wasn't knackered, honest!) He did very well & here he is coming down from the cab after offering to dispose. After almost 12 hours in action I was happy to leave him and Pete to it... That's my bag, shovel & mash can on the ground ready for a quick getaway.
Just a quick sketch; I keep starting to build a microscale Mega City One and end up getting distracted. This time the distraction of The Expanse...

WEEEOOOOOOO~!!!
Yikes, loud siren!
What's going on now?
"Hi! I'm AP* JR from the Paprihaven PD. You can call me JR."
Hi JR!
This is unusual for a show.
Why are all the exit doors being closed...?
"I'm not part of the show. I'm here investigating the disappearance of a performer."
I'm pretty sure most of the Planks performers quickly disappear.
They have no talent!
And the Planks, being cheap, treats us to their first and only attempt at entertainment.
"I see. This performer goes by the name of Carl Boom.** He performed here yesterday."
Carl Boom??
Oh, that was the Swarms creature.
"So, you saw him?"
We not only saw him, we-
THONK!
AAAOOOOO~~!!
"Did you just hit that person with an anvil!?"
No.
I told you that thing wasn't a turnip!
You didn't say that! You just said it was crunchy!
It tasted funny! I told you!
"What in the blue infinity are you talking about??"
...
Nothing.
Nope. Juuuust chatting.
"Did you EAT Carl Boom??"
Eat?
Oh... that's... erm.. disgusting.
Who would do that?
Well I think we just implied-
THONK!
AAAOOOOOO~!!
"You just hit that man with your anvil!!"
No. That was just Pebble Guy.
"Okay, we have the theater sealed and no one is leaving until we get to the bottom of this."
Quick! Rustle programs to cover our whispering!
...programs rustling...
We need a fall guy!
Yeah, someone to take the blame!
A scapegoat!
A whipping boy!
A stooge!
A sucker!
A mug!
A sacrificial lamb!
Would you all shut up!? I nominate Pebble Guy.
Yeah, I mean he's a guy and he's already fallen.
"What's going on! Stop slapping those programs!"
AP JR, we confess!
It was Pebble Guy that done did the deed!
"What did he do!?"
He ate the turnip!
Carl Boom.
Right, he ate Carl Boom!
"I think I'm going to be sick..."
