A while back I redesigned the Albanian Eagle for an Albanian friend of mine. Well, I took it a step further and designed my own rendition of the famous Albanian hero, Skanderbeg. Skanderbeg is also known as, “George Kastrioti, ?skender Bey, and the Dragon of Albania.” Skanderbeg is a national hero for the Albanians as he fought for the freedom of Albania.
Sorry, I’m not going to do the unveiling, you are! Here is the question -
What space does emptiness occupy?
Now, all you have to do is post your theory, or fact, to the proposed question.
I wanted to design something fresh, clean, calm, and crisp, so I decided to design an “Apple Tree.” Using my inkblot technique, I set forth, and this was the final result.
Given that I do have some Irish blood and it is getting around St. Patrick’s day, I thought I would design an inkblot that reflects the Legend of the Four Leaf Clover. According to legend, each leaf represents something. The first leaf is for hope, the second leaf is for faith, the third leaf is for love, and the fourth leaf is for none other then, luck.
“Frosty the Penguin” is one of the newest editions to my inkblot design collection. You know, how could I resist, penguins being so cute and adorable and all.
Nuclear tear drops
on terrorist head chops
between drive-by gang shots
cloaked in government conspiracy plots,
a revolutionist is silenced,
his free thinking condensed,
they censored his genius,
for how dare he go against
their hearsay and rules,
their schools for proud fools,
their faith without glue,
a faith in which through
dirty looks they shunned him
for his honesty, so brim,
trimmed in good intentions,
free from fabled extensions,
he shined, and they shunned,
they gunned, so he hung,
he hung in the gory
glory
of his endless individual dimensions.
Even after all the fights, and all the words exchanged,
all the painful nights, and expectations shortchanged,
through all the tears, after all these years,
I still do,
I still love you.
Sow thy seeds now,
thou pretense not parted
reveal thy rhythm guarded
uncharted text-scape,
cape of metaphoric tricks,
affix thy words fiddled
riddled selected picks
upon my fading canvas
kiss silent emptiness adieu
construe a bosom beat mix
fixed with message true,
tattoo thy bare passion
fashioned by I in you.
Given the time of the year, I decided to design a piece that would reflect the upcoming holiday, Valentines Day! I titled this inkblot design, “Angel Heart” and it should be obvious as to why.
Let my actions ring louder then the whispers of my words,
and may my whispers mirror the meaning of that which has occurred.
