The Old Hotel, Part Four

That night the three muffinteers slept in room #116. They had their pick from several rooms in the sparsely populated Old Hotel. Of course they chose 116 that night. The room where the forbidden mysterious activity had taken place.

Back then daughters of certain Christian families were kept ignorant about the basic facts of human reproduction. Back then, sex was an unmentionable sin. God did not approve of men and women connecting their minds and spirits. However, God did want people to multiply. He needed a large population of humans to satisfy his gluttony for abject adoration.

To assure reproduction in the human race he programmed them with an obsessive magnitism to fit their parts together and unite sperm and egg.

Breathe

Here are four paintings from the large digital file 'Cosmic Debris'. The four different pictures use many of the same elements. It is so cool that photoshop images can be used again and again. When I have created elements, such as the two that you see here, they can be reused in different ways, expressing variations on a theme.

Pheonix

The Phoenix is a mythical bird recognized by the ancient Persians, Greeks, Chinese and Egyptians. It lives for 1,000 years by eating frankincense. After 1,000 years it builds a nest in an oak tree and lights the nest on fire. A new Pheonix arises from the ashes and renews the cycle.

Cosmic Rose

From the ongoing series, 'Cosmic Debris".

Ether

I just looked up the word 'ethereal' in wikipedia. It means, light, airy, spirit, pertaining to a higher atmosphere. This is a pict of ethereal images. From the series "Cosmic Debris". A digital file started a few years ago and worked on sporadically.

Mardi Gras Queen

A loopy French Quarter scene with a wobbly Luck Dog cart. The anime kitten face shows up again, this time on a woman's costumed body. A photo-shop collage.
