Face tattoos have been a thing for pretty much as long as tattooing has been around. Tribesmen from all over the world would adorn their bodies with symbolic tattoos, including their faces.
Over time, this practice all but fizzled out and went through a period of unpopularity and stigmatisation. In the past decade, face tattoos have made a comeback in urban scenes.
More and more people are starting to accept this form of self-expression

Recently discovered self-portrait taken in 2019 during COVID, experimenting with facial hair. The image was created by shaping a single-source light into a noir-style low-key study.

Help. I can't take it anymore. Let me out of this body; out of this cage of meat. My brain is a sick tyrant, and I'm locked in here with it. Let me out, so I can be free of this pain, this confusion, and from the burden of being conscious.

"Inspire” 2020
Did you lose your words young one?
Writer’s block, loss for words, language barriers and failure to understand each other are topics that I think about often. As a matter of fact, writer’s block and loss for words are two things plaguing me right now. 2020 has been one heck of a year with so much uncertainty, change and growth for humanity.
It has given me an opportunity to let go of some things that no longer serve me but it has also silenced me in a way. I have always felt like a very vocal person and have tried to use my art and writings to uplift people. But right now, the inspiration to write just isn’t coming to me and it scares the heck out of me.
What if I lose my ability to channel inspiring messages through my art? What if nothing else comes to mind? What if no one cares? Or worse, is listening?
I believe there is a time to listen and a time to speak. I have been listening a lot but now I feel like my power to speak has been blocked and it feels crippling. Releasing a work of art without a piece of writing feels incomplete to me and I have a lot of art ideas but not a lot to say.
Do you ever feel blocked like this?
Back to regular programming.
Being away for more than two weeks made me realized how much I miss photography. After being invited to explore Bangkok (again), I had so much fun taking photos again.
I promised myself to take photos just for FUN.
No standards, no pressures. Lol. I’ll shoot anything and everything.

In the end we are all separate: our stories, no matter how similar, come to a fork and diverge. We are drawn to each other because of our similarities, but it is our differences we must learn to respect.

this is yet another campaign for my fellow muslim or even non-muslim brother out there...
let's sit when we on the loo, regardless of "big" or "small" business...
it just a matter of adab..
"siapalah kita tanpa adab"
oh, and don't forget to close the door....
yet, another silly edition of self portraiture, using self-timer mode. I still got plenty of time to waste while i should be worrying about my assignment submission...*sigh*

Often times, artists create without knowing the full impact of their work on others. Emerging artists (and perhaps established artists as well) say, “If I can help just one person, that would be enough.” But, what if one person turns to two, then four, then fifty, one thousand and eventually millions? That’s the power that we have as creatives. It’s not selfish to want to reach millions of people if the work that you are doing is helping them through something, propelling them towards something or is something that brings you great joy.
I don’t often create fan art but for years I have been compelled to create “this” piece. I didn’t know what it would look like or what medium I would use but I knew that it was in my future. Quarantine has done a number of interesting things to me like get closer to my art and try to live a life more aligned with my intuition.
For those of you who know me really well, know that I am a BIG fan of Tiesto. I selected memories and elements of my history with his music in order to create this portrait. This was a huge deal for me and you can read more about it in my blog post (www.fiercelypowerful.com/tiesto-self-portrait/). Who’s art have you carried with you your entire life, for a great part of it or is impacting you recently? Share below and tell me a bit more about why.
Twelve a Year: April
“Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see,
Everything that I keep missing,
Give your love for humanity.
Give me your arms for the broken-hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach.
Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten.
Give me Your eyes so I can see.”
- Songwriters: Jason David Ingram / Brandon Heath

“ Spinning Thoughts-Masked Emotions ”
"I wanted to make up for my "long shutter" disaster last week. It was time for a self portrait. It was fun creating this. I got my favorite mask out & set up my tripod & timer.. and snapped a few shots, this one being my favorite. I feel like this image, screams "emotion".
I'm all about "mental health awareness" & I like to show/discuss it in my PERSONAL images.
& I feel like this photo shows the inner feelings of someone, during an anxiety attack.. overwhelmed, scared, head spinning, unsure, out of body, numb, can't breathe.. the list goes on. I hate anxiety & PTSD, but it's important for people suffering to know that they're not alone. & Also to raise awareness to friends & family of those suffering.. Trying to show them what their loved one feels.. It helps. God bless you all!"

I hope that everyone is doing fantastic this week! I'm doing and feeling a bit better than last week.. Which is why I wanted to do a decent photo for this week's challenge.. *dedicated to mental health, as always*. Thankfully I was able to do a self portrait, and I'm actually happy with the way it turned out.
I even liked my hair ties on my arm, almost to offset the other arm not having them I guess? Either way, I liked & left them there.
**THIS is "Long SHUTTER". Me set up in front of my camera/tripod with the timer on.. and moving my head while the camera snapped away. This one was my favorite. I'm quite happy with it, to be honest.. which is why I wanted to share with you guys..
LOCATION: For those of you wondering, this was taken at my house. No flash or reflectors. I just used the little bit of sunlight coming thru the window in my front door - but I left the door closed this time (I usually will open it). I set up my tripod & used the light coming from the door, and positioned myself in front of it.
I recently bought a NICE FLASH *that you put on your camera* & a diffuser. I really am thinking that I ought to practice with that darn thing soon! I am such a procrastinator... I truly am! I need a push.. or a big shove.. to start playing with it again lol. Or take it out of the box... at least lmao!
Tkae care & GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
Shot just before I began to pack up my mask collection. I have handmade papier mache masks from Venice, masks from New Orleans, and handmade ones from Atlanta to New Mexico to Seattle.
ofc I meant to have posted this way back and haven't cause why would I ever do things when I want to? sh1t goes over my head sometimes y'know? And I cant get outta my mind ... its harsh in there.
♥ thankyou Lilly for taking the picture for me! ♥
A sparkle in his eye, never say die,
Just live—don’t hesitate, feel time fly.
He strides through the dusk with a laugh in his chest,
Chasing the next tale, giving each one his best.
The stars lean in close when his thoughts ignite,
He paints every moment in silver and light.
The past is a whisper, the future his gate
Cause while he still breathes there are stories yet to create.
