Phoenix Rising

(entry ricH)

my version of dada art.

( a form of collage using scrap created in Berlin in the early 1900's) although I did do some real "work" on this image in photoshop. I tried to keep things looking pasted up. It seemed to fit better that way;

'dada' was traditionally politically fueled art that was as much "anti-art" as it was anything else....this probably has too tight a theme to really be considered a true 'dada' piece.

Thanks for the words of support man!! but please, lets not talk about past :)
'am okay and still kickin'
I've got the whole life before me,great things and beautiful places to see!
What's bad should stay in past! :))

I've plans to go to States with my friend on summer time.He want to buy a family car in Miami (don't know y in Miami,but to hell with that)so I asked him if he needs company, and he said yes. His (american)family lives in Montana,& he wants to visit them2.

I've got some plans to draw few pages for some foreign magazin.
'am sure u saw my old pic: girl on furry beast,someone saw that drawing and asked me if I'd be interested to draw sth with her and beast, of course I said yes,& now my other friend-writer, writing sth. We're thinkin 'bout 8page story for start :) and then we'll see ;)

Nah, wasn't so much this pic that brought me out.
It is weird that I may have been
summoned by your thoughts though.
Ouch, it's flattering that
ya said that;
maybe you oughta
be thinking instead about
Travis, Alex Maleev, or frickin Giger?
:)

Would've liked this one far more
if you would have given it more unity
with a less pasted, less cheap look.
But then, that's Dadaism for you.
;)

Hit me up if you're going to attend
the life changing art concert three day event mania of the year.
I'll be there.
And I swear I'm not Seban.

hahaha

Hello Seban.
It's nice to hear your loudness.
It's also nice to know that at
any given moment that you're at my back
ready to spring into action
like a cat pouncing upon a toy...
that's just out of reach.
Tantalizing.

I'm doing well, thanx for askin.
I'm preparing to fly to San Fran
and then travel around California;
maybe fly out of San Diego
at the end of the year or so.

Hey, show some art
before they figure us out.

Well, you never know ricH.
I've wondered it myself, just in case.
But really, thought it was a funny way to fire into a segue.

Not meant to be a cheap shot.

I've always regarded Seban as a straight shooter, a real stand up guy and with an impecable sense of timing to boot, not to be confused with me.
So you know ;)

And yeah, I'm out and about, loosed.
Notify security.

Ciao Rich!
I like this stuff, it's really expresseve.
I don't know why, but it reminds me something about Dylan Dog. That's an italian comics about a supernatural detective. It could sound similar to Hellblazer, but is much more reflexive and poetic.

Just give a look!
Ciao
