SO this stood out to me today not classic art but definable graphic art fab. speaking to me of war and what it looks like with dark whims of rabbits. It's Easter colors mixed with the horror of war. Not sure why this is sticking out to me today must be the pending doom I am feeling about joining the gym. Yep I am dramatic enough to go there think of the suits as treadmills the bullets the judgment coming your way, carnage of human souls lost to the fight for health and your with me. No idea who drew it but bravo!

To a stranger

 I realized I was forgetting  a huge part of beauty today the beauty of words to make us think. I found this so moving today I had to share it with you.

To A STRANGER
by: Walt Whitman (1819-1892)

PASSING stranger! you do not know how longingly I look upon you,



You must be he I was seeking, or she I was seeking, (it comes to me as of a dream,)

I have somewhere surely lived a life of joy with you,

All is recall'd as we flit by each other, fluid, affectionate, chaste, matured,

You grew up with me, were a boy with me or a girl with me,

I ate with you and slept with you, your body has become not yours only nor left my body mine only,

You give me the pleasure of your eyes, face, flesh, as we pass, you take of my beard, breast, hands, in return,

I am not to speak to you, I am to think of you when I sit alone or wake at night alone,

I am to wait, I do not doubt I am to meet you again,



I am to see to it that I do not lose you.

fish head revenge untill I know the real name.

I am so excited I found a friend of mines art on line so I am going to share it with you!! Lucy you he is a fantastic artist, really! His name is Riley Johnson he live here in WI I should have asked him the name of this piece but I like to think it is called fish head revenge, probably not but it should be. So when he tells me the name I shale add it hear enjoy if you can I know it is a bad pic maybe I will ask for a better one of it and put it below! SO this is made with colored pencils and mat board "mixed media.

That's a thing!

OMG I just found the coolest thing ever Rubik's cube art this one took 4000 to build and a freaking amazing artist that I can not link a name to so forgive god of the Rubik's I will credit you when I know who you are.Thi sis freaking amazing I could never ever do the real one with out moving the stickers (come on you know you did it too) and then my sister would get so mad at me. but this is a stroke of genius! The 80's have just been made more awesome and not in an Ironic way.

Whaam!

TOday felt like a pop art day so I am posting Whaam! by Roy Lichenstein. I think comic book or graphic novel art os so over looked I love that this is in The Tate Museum.

It certainly does not leave much to the imagination for observation but it does evoke a childhood memory of reading comics in the summer. I love the power of art for that it will many so many different things to so many people but it evokes strong feelings or memories.

Unusual Atlas

I could not find the name of the artist of these pieces but they really inspired me today. Take some time to soak it in.

                                        I love that he took the content and made such a beautiful picture of it. it reminds me of Africa the fierce people the pride of culture and I can see the pain in her face too. nothing speaks to me about Africa like the women do. So much power and lack of personal owner ship . I know my husband met many wonderful people there. I think their songs still call him back. It is hard to represent a who number of countries diverse as Africa is with one person. I am not sure that is what the artist was trying to do but I do love how the face seems to belong to the land some how.

Power cloud #62

This painting is called Power cloud #62 by Pracha Yindee. I choose this one because it stood out to me today.

my thoughts on this one are like fire in the night the bodies of the dark figures in the orange burn in the suprise sweep up of the burst of flame that ravages through the night with swift and deadly force as it consumes it self leaving the darkness darker than it was before.
