Experimenting

A bit of ancient symbology in the first one. The spade and hearts have an older meaning. The spade is a symbol for man, and vice verso the heart is a symbol for woman. The symbols on the modern deck of cards traces it's origin to Tarot. The spade is also known as the sword and the heart as a chalice, or grail. Or a symbol for the womb. Without getting into the Da Vinci code here guess I'd say the latter makes more sense.

Been gone for a few ages but decided I need to come pay my old blog some attention. There's a bit of Andrew Jones inspiration in here. He's got a very organic process of creating images, throwing random shapes on the canvas at will with very little idea of the final result. With me it's a bit different, I have a pretty good idea in my head to begin with, though not all the time. Gotta say though, this process of slapping shapes on a canvas is damned liberating!

Found inspiration from an art gallery at a hippie festival I've been to....

This last summer I found myself deep in the bowels of a hippie festival known to many as Shambhala or shambles for short, in the depths of the British Columbia-n jungle. A relentless rave raging on for 5 days straight. It was beautiful to say the least.
