Quick Self Portrait
And yeah, it kind of looks like I'm throwing up...and I have red wings. It was for a art project, a proposal of a figurative self-portrait...if I can find Lance's, I'll upload it. It's bad, but remember chillens', a self-portrait.
Thats how my hair and make-up look now, and Lance suggested that since I'm predominately online for my Mr. Death account, I could add a death-y element.
I'm throwing up what I feel, bloody, confusing, maybe beautiful? I don't know how it'll be interpreted.
It'll be a painting, I hope...and better.
Cheers
JV

that's really awesome:)
thanks for posting that
my two fav colors red and black...well actually black isn't a color, but i digress, i like tha painting a lot, i love the wings...its eerily beautiful.
i've seen this painting before....but how could i have.?? i was stopping by to say: how strange it is that your mom used to read to you "The Little Prince", which is my first and old-time favourite, and now you say that Frida Kahlo is/was her fave. artist, as she is mine...don't you find that strange? i have to go back and study that recent post some more. Thanks for posting it.
luv,

oh man, how weird is that! i saw something completely different on first sighting. Now i see a little face in profile...what i thought i saw was like looking up from the bottom of a cave and the white part was the opening...hmmm, going back for another look
yah, i like it, and of course i see the little heart motif
It's actually a marker sketch...and Lance's ridiculous... O_o
I've noticed a lot of similairities between you two, as well...which is weird, but good! She was a real anarchist, but had such a beautiful way at looking at things.
JV
marker sketch, hmmm, well, it is striking.
yeah, it is weird, i've often felt like i had a twin floating around in this universe, but i guess that is the soul connection thing; try to find a copy of The Education of Oversoul 7 by Jane Roberts, although i think it might be out of print, i came upon it in a most unusual way, i will e-mail you the long story version.
Cheers for now,
pj
I'll look through my moms book boxes before I try the library, but I'll try and see.
JV
if you can't find it i will read it to you via e-mail if you like:
Chapter One starts out with
Oversoul Seven's Examination and Josef's Dream: "Oversoul Seven grimaced at Cyprus and began the examination. "Let's see," he said. "In Earth terms, using an anology, I'm a man of Wednesday and Friday, a woman on Sunday and Thursday, and I have the rest of the time off for indpeendent study.
Actually, because of their time concepts this is somewhat more complicated," he said. Each life is lived in a different, uh, area of time to which various designations are given." ...
sound intriguing?
It does...I'll check it out.

Jolly Mercenery was *SHOCKED* by the picture of No Escape on my blog....funny, the different way people perceive things, eh?
pj
Amazing piece of art.
Well, "No Escape" seems to follow a bondage fashion...more my scene then her scene. Though I'm not actually into that kind of thing, I do appreciate some of the art that comes out of it...ei: PVC ;)
Deb, thanks. :)
JV
spring is here, yippeee, so i have decided to throw off my shackles and "fly"...
i think Jolly Mercenery is a male, and on second looking i can understand why he might have been shocked, and also, he explained on my Blog...so, fair comment.
...yeah, bondage, i tried that once but it didn't really work for me...but i think it had a lot to do with the individual, as well as issues of trust...
i actually did not interpret the photo as a bondage scene, strangely enough, i was thinking of it more in a metaphorically sence of how we allow ourselves to be trapped...but i suppose it's just one's frame of reference.
i left a new post today, on "friendship' check it out when you have time.
luv,
pj
Yeah, I'll check it out.
I figured it's a fetish portrait: but that doesn't mean its purely sexual, even...its still a form of art (the photos of bondage, depending on how tastefully its done) and it can mean the same sort of thing...
;)
JV
Hey there JV,
well, as i say, i really don't know the intention of the artist, and it certainly is open to many different interpretations; and i'm not sure why, but it does appeal to something in me.
(re: your most recent post at my Blog)...
You really make me chuckle you say the damndest things...sometimes i just cannot help but laugh,...i'm sorry, maybe i should not say that, but like you say, you're comtemplating these deep thoughts one moment then BAM! you're thinking about punching someone! i don't know, it is just so unexpected and contrary that i find myself chuckling; and i suppose i just find your honesty refreshing.
...any new developments with your dad?...
luv,
pj
It's a constant battle, between the seriously deep thoughts and teenage angst. ;)
I'll post them, later. (sigh)
JV
p.s I find that many people like my refreshing honesty, unless it hurts their feelings...I have the tact of a Nazi. Really. :o (the stories Lance could tell)
Teenage angst, I don't miss that.
It's not so blind, however...I'm sick of the middle-class kids crying over the fact that they have to clean their room, calling it a broken home. (lol)
Thanks for commenting
JV
I love it when people can be totally honest about what's going on inside them and not try to sugar coat it. It's very stark and striking. Very real. Thanks for being real! Too few are.
Peace.
