A painting inspired from listening to Nocturnal´ s Podcast8 while working a graveyard-shift.

It looks simple, but reflects something else; found in main gallery (Gatekeeper-version). This is the original.

Here is for you guys to have a shot at my being "Out-of-Line"; i.e the pen is moving in un-used (to) ways. This is not the stuff I usually make, is what I am trying to get at

An experiment over several days resulted in this. Inspired by a drum n´ bass mix I´d appreciate feedback on all aspects, including symbolic elements.

Originally, two separate paintings over the same theme.

Thanks!

their muffled revels as the flesh falls

Process:

Word art transformed into a base image for use in GIMP; the words are taken from id tags, called DogStarTags; each carries Observation data of the star system Sirius; one lists Right Ascension, second the Declination and the third informs of the Spectral type (); the female is an android head I designed way back in PS7. All came together using various parameters for variation in GIMP; the recursiveness of the words form a spiral pattern symbolizing her hair; and her nature is artificial and intelligent.

Basically, a romantic vision of machine awareness; below is the first line of code that makes up the painting in C source: "222221377232222377232322377232322377232322377232222

As with Neurofunk, this one is the result of a stream of consciousness spanning several days, prelim.sketches, various color schemes and half-done pieces; being eclectic on the subject.matter, this was the resulting composition.

I wanted something ´cyberpunk´ (yep, Gibson fan..) , or cipherpunk as I call it --begun the sketching for the next Soulchrome [:1.1/7Aleph]; and want to include a cityscape with this.

(re-submitting) // About the image:

Brief::/ I can easily see the universe and the laws that govern this phenomenon, from the standpoint of informatics. It is highly viable to understand the universe as a cybernetic system; and over-clocking is a term that is unfamiliar to none involved in this field.
My idea behind this work is that the Earth is ´overclocked´, and that to the point of environmental critical failure (i.e. "the core temp. is approaching critical mass"). This state of affairs, men are to a significant degree, the doers of. This is, of course-a result of ´All the wrong people in the right places´ ..

On the other side (or brighter side), the universe’s own A.I (->informatics analogy) is scheming against men and their injurious behavior; thus the A.I (or: Universal Mind, Jim Morrison) has begun to shine a light on things in a different way; re-writing parts of its Assembly command strings, resulting in the overclocking of universal nodes (information-architectural elements) that identify and regulate r00t directory contents and compatibilities, f.ex, the Weak/Strong Nuclear forces (quantum systems), can make themselves perfectly at home in the /dir 8-) I presume, of course, that the universe is a sentient existent (shamanic cosmology)---endowed with an awareness of itself; and overly determined to reintroduce stability and optimal functionality into the planet’s atmospherics, minerals, oceans, plant-, reptile and animal life.

// How was the image made:
06 scraps (2d/3d), tarragon, maya 4 and fractal comps restored to this composition in CS2.

With this piece, I am developing a new series of fracpains concordant to my ambition of having them actually represent phenomena-psychological, philosophical.., and in this case-cosmological:

To e.a work, there belongs a small text (below);

.. ..in the universe;
there were two hydrogen jump cables.
´All kinds of questions.´
Their purpose was to kick-start the beginning of the Milky Way.
But they were here even before that.
´O´magnetic fires of sirius, warming the waking wavelengths of sentience.´
They are the ancestors of purple,
and the idea
of a color spectrum in evolution
proportionate to the
development of atomic facts.

I want to use more character studies in my work as I have too many scenes on my mind

Hi again,

I have included some sketches this time; preliminary work. The inspiration was hanging with some people at the club the other night, living in the fast lane :-)This is my first time painting a motorcycle (love the Ducati..), and I wanted to do something different this time.


The plates below show elements of the process; starting with sketches, then the refinement
via layering fx and brush work. Completed over the course of 3 days.

The idea behind this is coming from a story I submitted to a Short Story Award by a US publ. house (deadline was today!). Anyhoo, the story is called: ::Magic Mushroom Theory Tower of Science in Tokyo::and deals with a ghost who applied to become one in Gods machine, and it was not the Holy Ghost´s payroll it wanted to be on..

The how´s::./pieces of my writing as texturing, a model from Maya (´04), plus bits and bytes from the tons of scraps that live a happy shelf-life on my HD.

Character is a model I did in Maya back in 2004 (using the `raw`figure render from an animation clip); now worked into a 2-d work intended to depict a character from one of my poem-dialogues; I have incorporated the the hypercubus to finish it off into this narrative setting, which has become what it is- the Hierophant, pondering the Seven Levels of Silence.

The "SS" is not a reference to the SS officers of WWII; rather is the acronym for

i)`sapiens sapiens`as in Homo S.S (modern man).

ii) seven (levels of) silence; the shape of the two s´s depict 4 sevens, the other 3 are represented by the Pythagorean triangle above his head.

The spider in his left foot symbolizes the connection to the world, as outlined in the philosophy of the Left Eye of Horus Mystery School under the rule of the ancient sun-king Akhnaton.

I hope you like it

Concept for a poster // revised and re-painted an old drawing (used a pharmaceutical reference image for the capsule).

The inspiration to design a capsule with "JOHNNY VIRTUAL 100MG" comes from one of Dali´s surreal conjectures when asked if he was doing drugs;

" I don't do drugs. I am drugs."
