A weeks worth of updates with pictures for you lucky few who still read my blog! 04.05.2024 / It’s been a beautiful day, we seem to be finally getting some of that Beltane weather at last and that means more hours to paint in daylight. I managed to get most of the day to myself, I had a wonderful walk with my sister to the shops and picked up some cool gear including a fly screen which is really…

Looking for projects/games to work as pixel artist.

Hello friends, Im here saying that I have a slot open to work on a new project/game, I am a generalist pixel artist, working from everything, from characters, tiles sets, backgrounds, icons, portratis, animations, but with a focus on characters.

While I am looking for any cool project you might have and have interesting in having me working on it, I have a soft spot for isometric art and would love to work on a game with this style.

If you have interest in work with me send me a message, we talk about the projects, rates, and all that cool (and not so cool) stuff.

If you're not interested in working with me or don't have a project that need me but still likes my art, consider reblog this, it means the world to me.

Strange Beauty 

Hanna Hoch 

1929

Photographic collage on coloured paper

Hanna Hoch is an inspiring German Dada artist, who is known for photomontage, collages, and other amazing works. Furthermore, she was very passionate about the portrayal of the "new woman". She utilized themes such as political discourse, androgyny, and reversing gender roles while creating many of her art works. Therefore, Hanna Hoch's artwork was extremely distinctive. Her art work is inspiring to many people, especially feminists like herself. Additionally, she also uses surrealism/abstract styles in her works to remove real world imagery. This was well known in her works, especially in her collages, which were unique and very expressive. With "Srange Beauty", she shows a woman's body in a very distinctive way, in contrast to the way society typically depicts it.ention of many, because it is portratyed in a very odd way. I think this is an interesting perspective she expresses towards observers. Hannah's art reflects her personality and her beliefs. I am inspired in many ways by her work and many others as well. When compared to other artists, she gives observers a very different way to perceive her artwork. Basically, Hoch's work represents the freedom of expressing yourself in a way that can represent any belief or idea that may be meaningful for you. Those ideas are also conveyed to others. In addition to helping you grow, art also allows you to inspire others and yourself with no limitations. Art has been incredibly influential through out many years, and today we use it in many different ways that are helpful to us.

Wonder Egg Priority – 10 – Fried

The cold open is so idyllic and beautiful that’s it’s obvious it’s only Momoe’s dream, but it’s an instructive one, for it shows us Momoe as she sees herself and as she wants to be seen: a lovely girl, going on a regular date with a boy who likes her as a girl.

Momoe wakes up to the sound of the end credits of what was likely a romantic movie she was watching before nodding off, the flowery soundtrack of which accompanied her lovely dream, and then gets ready for the real thing.

This week, under questioning the Accas come clean about not only being affiliated with Plati, but having founded the Japan chapter. Neiru shows Ai and Rika what they looked like before they abandoned their physical bodies and placed their minds in mannequins.

But in an inspired interruption of what was shaping up to be an exposition-heavy Q-and-A, something more important comes up: Momoe reports that went on a date…with a boy. Reminding us that the garden where the Accas are always seated at their board isn’t outside but underground, Ai, Neiru and Rika hurry head up to meet with Momoe and engage in some Girl Talk.

Describing the boy as her “follower” (presumably on social media), he asked her out a week ago, but when she arrived for their date in a dress, he was horrified…because he thought he was asking out a boy. That’s been the story of Momoe’s adolescent existence: a round peg being hammered into a square hole by a society that refuses to see and know her the way she sees and knows herself.

She tells her crocodile friend Panic, who is of unknown gender, that it must be nice not to be judged by appearance. Panic obviously doesn’t respond with words, but by curling up in Momoe’s arm like a dog, simply being there with Momoe. No judgment,  not projection…only love.

Perhaps emboldened by Momoe’s courage in putting her true self out there, Ai pays a visit to Sawaki-sensei, who confirms that he’ll be leaving school soon to pursue his career as a professional artist. He gives her a postcard for his first solo exhibition, titled “Latent Heat”, and tells her that it was a portrait he painted at school that got him noticed. Ai, of course, assumes it was a portrati of Koito. She has a statue, Sawaki has a painting.

Momoe’s next Egg Girl, Kurita Kaoru, immediately establishes himself as unlike anyone she’s ever encountered, either inside or outside of her dreams. The mirror image of Momoe, Kaoru is biologically a girl but identifies as a boy, and speaks and acts like one.

Kaoru instantly sees through the “Momotaro” façade, and sees a tall, cool girl—totally his type. Unlike Haruka, Kaoru isn’t a girl who loves her. Unlike her recent date, he doesn’t misgender her.

Momoe is more popular with the girls, who see in her the perfect man. Kaoru’s kendo club advisor—whom he once trusted and sought advice from—saw and desired him as a girl. The advisor raped Kaoru, who then became pregnant. It was as if both he and the world were denying Kaoru his true self. He took his own life, unable to live in that world.

Having heard this story and met the advisor in his grotesque Wonder Killer form, Momoe is unspeakably enraged, and prepares to stab the shit out of him. The Killer shoves her back, declaring he’ll “kill any man who makes passes at his Kaoru,” whom he’s encased in a heart-shaped glass case.

He prepares to crush Momoe, but as she summons all of her strength to lift him off of her and toss him aside, she forcefully corrects him by saying “I’m a girl!”, ripping her boyish clothes to reveal her sports bra, then launching a decisive attack on the Wonder Killer, shattering the case and catching Kaoru out of the air.

In the few moments they have after the battle is over, Kaoru thanks Momoe and says that next time he’s reborn he’ll be the one to protect her. Momoe is flattered, but points out that not all girls want to be protected. Kaoru then calls Momoe a lovely girl and asks if she likes younger men. Kaoru then leans in to kiss her before vanishing in a puff of smoke, turning Momoe beet red.

Kaoru turns out to be the final egg Momoe needed to protect in order to “clear the game”, and after a countdown, a curtain falls to reveal Haruka, no longer a statue. When she runs towards Momoe’s open arms, she passes right through her and fades away. Momoe says “it’s really over!”, but above her a part of the ceiling lets out a slow drip-drip-drip of water, suggesting it might not quite be over.

The Accas report that Momoe “won’t be coming anymore”, as she’s more or less cleared the game. This news compels Ai to take her leave from Rika and Neiru in order to take care of something. She comes home, bathes, pins her hair back to reveal her blue eye, and wears a dress and heels, then takes the train to the gallery where Sawaki-sensei’s exhibition is being held.

She finds the painting that launched his fledgling art career…and it’s not Koito, it’s her, heterochromia and all. Only it isn’t exactly her, and as Sawaki approaches he asks her if it resembles someone else: her mother. That’s because it’s a portrait of Ai “grown up” into a “wonderful, adult woman” like her mother; “kind, strong, and beautiful.”

Because Ai is the daughter of that woman—the woman he admits he’s in love with—he says she should have more faith in herself. Then Ai asks Sawaki something she’s wanted to ask him since Koito died: Why did she die?

We don’t get the answer, and who knows if Sawaki will be forthcoming, elusive, or abstract in his response. We also don’t know if any potential answer will satisfy Ai—for all we know, Koito took her life after being rejected by Sawaki. All we know is, like Momoe’s attempt to go on a date with a boy as a girl, she’s all the more stronger for actually asking.

As for Momoe, her hard-won physical and moral triumphs are all too fleeting, as the dripping water precedes the arrival of a strange entity with Haruka’s body, a Wonder Killer-like head, and a giant scythe. The Accas lament that their plans to create “warriors of Eros” to confront “Thanatos” may end up going off-course with Momoe’s recent experience of “the overwhelming fear of death.”

The Haruka-bodied entity tells Momoe she’s like to let her go out of respect for how she risked her life for friendship, but that someone named “Frill” would get mad if she found out. Unfurling her head to reveal butterfly wings, the entity proceeds to gruesomely murder Panic right before Momoe’s eyes, then takes a chunk of meat from Panic’s body, eats it, and stuffs some in Momoe’s mouth.

Back in the real world, Momoe can’t dispatch the horror of tasting Panic’s meat out of her mind, and vomits into the sink during dinner with her mom. She cowers at the foot of her bed, trembling in a blanket, unable to sleep. As expected, the Accas only ever offered a bitterly sore deal, with victory only bringing more trauma and suffering.

Disability art is part of my history and I am part of its history. This is an art movement that has not been recognised by art historians. Disabled artists have yet to be valued and recognised as professional and take their place in art history. But I continue to develop new artwork and contribute to the Disability Arts Movement and I am successful in my field. -Tanya Raabe-Webber

Mouth Trap by Rebbecca Brown: Prose-Poem Magic

Mouth Trap Review Rebbecca Brown is a wordsmith, and her 2018 poetry book, Mouth Trap (Arc Pair Press), is a tantalizing example of Brown’s alchemic language. This collection holds 42 prose-poems that explore emotions, the natural world, and the human condition through lyricism and language-play. Arguably, Brown fits into the poetic niche occupied by Jose Angel Araguz and Daniil Kharms as her wit and surreal images transform the ordinary into the unexpected and the soulful. Mouth Trap seems to be an experiment in transformation and magic, evoking imagery that not only sucks us into the collection but also wiggles into our mind.

Published in a world overcome by social divisiveness and ecological destruction, Mouth Trap paints portraits of people and landscapes that exhume unspoken feelings. Brown plays with form, sound, image, and meaning, certainly connecting her readers in duende.

Federico Garcia Lorca, a 20th century Spanish poet, described duende as passion, a raw emotion that connects the writing, the author, and the audience in a shared understanding. This is what Mouth Trap is—a passion that pass through language-play, soundscapes, and images to grip the reader in a hidden world. 

1. Mouth Trap and Lyric Essays Brown pushes the prose-poem form to its limits. The pieces ��What I Did and Did Not Do,” “The Seven Little Sinsters,” and “Squall” are something more than prose-poems. Running across several pages, these pieces edge toward lyric essay, converting emotionally charged meditations into consequences, growth, and reflection.

I found “Squall” particularly powerful. In the middle of this lyric essay, the speaker inserts a ten-stanza poem dedicated to the listener. This meta-poem, that is a poem within a poem, looks and reads more like a “traditional” poem. Here are the first few lines of this metapoem: 

“the crack daze the cup,  shatters determined during 

grains fusing toward temporary stasis. we both understand 

the nature of this—those minute fractures, the future” (68).

See the alliteration, the enjambment, the symbolism, and gentle finality? This internal poem gives the speaker a chance to express their sentiments in a form that is synonyms with emotions: poetry.  We see the speaker’s passion. We read it in the prose-poem and then within the poem’s internal poem. We feel it being massaged into our souls. I guess its duende wrapped in poetic experimentation. 

2. Music and Language What else is spectacular about Mouth Trap? Brown’s word-play and soundscapes, of course!

There are tongue-tying yet musically sweet lines—like “bearded, wren and warbling, paraphyletic, the blood of pasts are carefully collected in honeyeaters” in the poem “Landscapes with Family.”

There is dialogue riddled with rhythm and alliteration— “What do you think the wood would want without the sun to slash them green?” in “Heat is Heat.”

And there are images sharpened by onomatopoeias and language-play— “he duct tapes the chuck back to flesh and finger figures blood will stop thump thumpthump to finish. He continues work watching for rattlesnakes minding the thump thumpthump of blood pound” in the poem “Shedding.”

Language and music-of-the-line sugar images, the meditations, the surrealism. They trap readers with mouthfuls of music. 

3. Is It Really That Great? Mouth Trap is a Venus flytrap, except we are the flies who are gladly swallowed up by Brown’s enticing magic and music. This collection will satisfy anyone obsessed with prose-poetry, images brimming with sounds, and lyricism mixed precise observations into transformation. Arc Pair Press released a second edition of Brown’s book in 2019, so join Brown in a tangled web of emotions

Arranging Mouth Trap  I emailed Brown a few weeks ago, asking her how she went about putting Mouth Trap together. Like with most poetry collection, the pieces in Mouth Trap were written over a long period of time and compiled later on.

But why write such lyric prose-poetry to start with? Brown shares that:

“my original intent was to create a number of short prose poems written from a variety of subject positions, which also included the natural world as a refractive, self-aware lens. What Mouth Trap became in the process of collecting so many divergent works, including a few lyrical essays and what I initially intended as a children’s book, is a hybrid work that emphasizes unique ways of seeing attuned to the limitations of a potentially confining solipsism.”

Solipsism: a noun describing the view that the self is the only thing truly existing. Mouth Trap is full of self-reflective lyricism firmly standing in natural imagery. This pairing, between nature and solipsism, concretizes the collection, grounding readers in wild hallucinations. 

I asked Brown about the arrangement of poems in Mouth Trap. After all, there has to be some sort of rhyme or reason. According to Brown, the arrangement of Mouth Trap seeks to illustrate how musicality is the optimal way of exploring emotions and personal experiences, especially those in tension with the external world. 

The collection’s overall focus turns toward nature with a block of poem whose titles begins with “Landscapes.” They illustrate a tension between the outer world and selfhood, setting the stage for the final section “that calls attention to the book’s constructedness with ‘Self-Portratis’” beginning the titles, according to Brown. Here then internal and the external are paired, placed beside each other.

This is Brown’s “attempt at exposing the artificiality of the collection,” an attempt aware that “cyclical shifts and resurgence associated with nature might present a challenge to a perceived artistic finitude.” This awareness dips Mouth Trap into duende as it considers finality and authenticity. 

Brown’s Inspirations  Whatever pushes boundaries inspires Brown because such experiments evoke surprises or discomforts that spurs action and change. 

That said, Brown is drawn to texts aware of language’s possibilities and challenges. Such attentiveness adds dynamism and emotion to the page and “makes [her] writerly heart pleasurably ache” at the logical illogic.

She’s also “inspired by work that is lyrically dark and sufficiently unsettling in both form and content.” Along this line, Brown often finds herself pulled toward solitude and loneliness whenever they are laced with desire. Brown is quick to explain that this desire does not refer to wanting something material; rather, it is the “force itself in its raw and jabbering electrical pursuit of meaningful connections” that traps Brown. 

Advice, Advice, Advice I absolutely love the advice Brown has for aspiring poets. She suggests poets escape expectations and or established patterns. They must explore possibilities and be authentic to the writing, to their language, and to the form. 

Here is her sound advice:

“I’ve always found it interesting to think of writing in conversation with failure as opposed to writing towards what is conventionally thought of as success.  In other words, what is possible often comes in unexpected forms; don’t limit the imaginable with familiar patterns or paradigms.  While your writing is always responsive to and informed by the unique historical moment that you are a part of, it is also an assemblage of past influences. In turn, whom you might influence may not always be apparent to you, so you may as well write as if it’s the first and last thing you’ll ever do.  

Where to get Mouth Trap  Get Rebbecca Brown’s Mouth Trap from Arc Pair Press  or Amazon Also available on the Kindle app.

Huge thanks for Rebbecca Brown for taking to time to answer my questions as well as dedicating her energy to creating this poetic masterpiece.
