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.

    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.

    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
