Valentine's Nostalgia

I made a video book or gifbook based on the idea of valentine's nostalgia, from thefulcrum. They said think outside the box, so I thought, let's use the first european valentine letter as prompts to a computer simulation system. I had to break it up. I used deviantart dreamup to make three images for the first stanza while three for the second stanza. Then I used an art style common in the time of the poetry for each image. I chose the image that fronts the gif. But enjoy it all below. Read the description for more detail.

Princess Candace new year celebration

Princess Candace is working on her statue outside the city of  Nemito [some call four rivers] for the four rivers that sector the land. Others call this place Yawakati [for the four districts in different technological times]. She won the right to build her statue on the bay of the city through her success in a gatlopp. It is new years and the city is celebrating but she is busy enjoying herself with her winnings.

Do you know Dredd?

I am a huge fan of the film Dredd starring as the top bill, Karl Urban

It's financial utilization, and its approach to a science fiction story that is quite entailed or historied into a one and done movie, i argue need to be commended.

and while we are at it, a look at the film, Underworld

Danse Macabre from Camille Saint-Saëns

Danse Macabre (first performed in 1875) is the name of opus 40 by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns.

The composition is based upon a poem by Henri Cazalis, on an old French superstition:

    Zig, zig, zig, Death in a cadence,
    Striking with his heel a tomb,
    Death at midnight plays a dance-tune,
    Zig, zig, zig, on his violin.
    The winter wind blows and the night is dark;
    Moans are heard in the linden trees.
    Through the gloom, white skeletons pass,
    Running and leaping in their shrouds.
    Zig, zig, zig, each one is frisking,
    The bones of the dancers are heard to crack—
    But hist! of a sudden they quit the round,
    They push forward, they fly; the cock has crowed.

But they closed their doors to her

To vilify , demonize, decry, and desecrate

Lady respect strolled into town

So they drove her out, casting stones

Locked the windows and took up arms

The following is a poetry form I was recently introduced to , called a Sijo, Korean poetic style. For this cento I have specific notes that I shared below after the URL of the source poem

Sapiens matriculate poisonous aeromovement

Morticians matriculate miracles destitution

Rationwort archevideo,  biotemporals continue
https://www.deviantart.com/malintra-shadowmoon/art/The-Wind-of-the-Moment-980500401

Sijo Structure Notes
It seems to take a Korean syllabic form, three lines, four words each, the syllable map is below
3-4-3-4, 3-4-3-4, 3-5-4-3 
use nature to express an emotion, themes of 
1st line- introduce situation
2nd line- development
3rd line- twist + conclusion
a twist a surprise of meaning, sound, or other device.
but the end/conclusion is not meant to be witty
usually untitled

I will utilize three words from the first three lines of malintra's poem: wind/wonder/moment
Now I will have to use synonyms for said words
Aeromovement- wind or air movement
Miracle- a wonder
Temporal- a moment

Word Notes
matriculate- as in register, not birth
miracles for wonders
Wort- as in plant , not growth on epidermis of humans
ration as in reasoning, not divided resource 
rationwort- a reasoning plant
arche- as in old 
sapiens -the whole genus including homo sapiens- humans
bio- meaning life
temporals- moments

wiser to accept all humanity online

someone spoke of being frustrated by the daily , constant presence of those online who collect their work into collections they deem inappropriate, the following is my answer

to answer your questions

because human desires or taste have always been a complete spectrum, an infinite spectrum and no law, no blockade, no penalty, no condemnation can stop that from being true or exhibited.

Because individual humans are just that individuals and true individuality isn't the ability to be unique while accepted or liked, it is to be unique regardless of whether you are accepted or liked and penalties from anyone, deviantart or common members of deviantart  can't blockade it.

I don't know the majority tastes in the populace of deviantart members. But I know deviantart wants the complete width of humanity using it and said width has all tastes in it. 

Two accounts on deviantart or any other website will not blockade the full width in humanity and said width includes all the taste any one human likes + dislikes

The only way an online  website which wants all of humanity using it, can stop a certain section in humanity from using it is to become what it doesn't want, private.

Far West Photomanipulation

It took me a while but I figured out a way for my style of artistry to create in photomanipulation. I create collages. In that way I am making all the elements to add to the photomanipulation in one page. I wrote a larger story but I didn't share it.

La Muerta Barbie

For the cursed costume Barbie, it took me a while to figure out what to do for the cursed costume. 

The Myth of the Manhattan Mourner

my first photo share, based on a ghoul placed outside a home near where i live. 

The Myth

It started as most mournful wives journey's begin, with death. For most wives, a husband or a child enter the spirit world absent the other. But, the Manhattan Mourner had both. And absent two she knew no other, and lived all alone. Her money must had been good cause she never was evicted. But, if you cry at the foot of her townhouse, to a love that is shared, she will grant you audience, and tell you what you need to end the shared sorrow. If the love isn't shared, she gains half of the life from each who don't share that fate would give. But no one knows what she does with the time?

My Reply

Well... Disney-StarWars has made female strong characters in most of their recent work: star wars episode 7/8/9- ray who finally ends the emperors reign and stars a new era absent the sith or jedi; rogue one- the daughter of the death star engineer, absent any force, who sacrifices all and guides others to make important choices and sacrificial choices to do one good while very powerful deed;Mandalorian show- Boka Tan changes from a defeated isolated leader to a better communal leader, even getting guidance by a man plus older woman, still with great fighting skill, who succeeds in fufilling her goal of uniting her people; Book of Boba- fennec shand <I do enjoy her> survives being betrayed by a younger man and becomes the trusted second in command, while visibly more dangerous than her boss, an older m, to an independent underworld empire; Ashoka Tano- has Ashoka who: admits she was/is wrong, survive failure, is extremely skilled plus lethal, trusts others to help to a collective goal, and moves in a very non offensive way, and chooses to continue training a child, no one, not even a very experienced purely logical machine, thinks has a chance of finishing her education. And is accompanied by a green skinned female general who always seems level headed but never follows orders blindly and is very sharp minded. A female padwan with the least amount of obvious impressiveness, a sign of how self loathing moth gideon was, who is full of love, who finally accepts her mandalorian roots. With female strong villains in a grey haired witch who is strong and in charge, but not flashy, while a young female warrior dedicated to a master but with a honest cruel streak. So the writers at the Star WArs section of disney have been working on female strong characters from the Stars wars films for a while, and they seem to be getting better with age. And the quality of male characters to the writers credit don't seem to be getting worse but are staying with them. I think the problem with the hans solo movie or the obi wan kinobi show was the male leads.

The problem isn't that the impotent haven't merited more in a world dominated by the powerful. It is that the powerful overrode and override merit with power.

CENTO Series episode 20

off in search of salt and sea

like the moss that creeps over angel wings

begging intimacy, playful bites beneath silken sheets

winter

i watched the crows build their nest

where everyone is a neon glow,

tasting for the thrill of unknown

descent

i tell the moon i love her

cozy among the thorns

embarrassed at the bruises in the early morning light

spring

i’ve seen you clip your own wings, claim it’s necessary

a diminutive thing, still perched at your bedside

i heard the sway of porch chimes,

https://www.deviantart.com/everystupidstar/art/Tree-of-Life-967176500

denying they, who leer their envy

Favorite 2 colors

I was asked
"What are your favorite color mashups? In other words, what colors do you think go best together in one illustration. I will hype the deviation you choose to make your case as well as one from your gallery if it isn't your artwork. Explain why in only 2 sentences."
My Answer
I have too many great color duets but among my work, I think medium brown with light green, but those are two key colors of the earth , used to sharing the same light.

the following shows a more elaborate green brown duet and in nature.

What is your favorite color duet?

The truthtellers

Gary Webb discovered a public secret. The USA is an empire. It's government did and does things for its empowerment that sometimes must never be admitted to or have no proof. All empires do this. I know this is real. People say they want the truth, but most of said people don't. The truth is like the magic mirror gate test. Most people, and that includes indigenous people in the usa, recent immigrants from central america to the usa, descended of enslaved black folk in the usa like myself, of course whites in the usa, and many or most others when faced with truths to what they hold dear will run away screaming.

What is the worth of Africa, as a continental region,  to the USA empire? 

I think the greater question is the last government in Africa to defeat a foreign, non african,  power in any fashion was ethiopia. Which government in africa is closest to making that a reality again?

For the ancients dance and will gift 

on the sky. For dreams and hope, dance

caught in that vast sea of crystal

unknown, where sleep is good. I ask,

here now with heavy eyes of lead.

Rest up, you sweet child of light, night

Boy and Sir, following Girl from Jamaica Kincaid and Ma'am from me

I was challenged by a fellow writer Nike < https://nikewrites.wordpress.com/ > to create two more reflections of Girl from Jamaica Kincaid. And so I did. What do you think? 

https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2447&type=status

DATES

• 24th- Pluto Moon conjunction- a horizontal line parallel to the horizon or a vertical line stemming from the horizon joins both bodies in the sky 
• 25th- woodchucks hibernate
• 26th - Saturn Moon conjunction; 1898 George Gershwin born, his porgy and bess is crap for me, but his 1937 shall we dance is , i argue, truly american, not black american or white american, but american. 

'Let's call the whole thing off' - originally in the 1937 film "Shall we Dance" here sung far better by Ella Fitzgerald side Louis Armstrong 

The dancing version from the movie, i linked to when it starts
https://youtu.be/qRrw2hDjnl4?t=129
They Can't Take That Away from Me- originally in the 1937 film "Shall we Dance" from the male character but written where it can be applied from any one to another... here sung far better by Ella Fitzgerald 

• 27th- Moon closest to earth, a perigee

In 2018, A 2,066-pound pumpkin grown by  Steve Geddes of Boscawen, he held the world record in 2012 for largest pumpkin.

https://www.wmur.com/article/prize-winning-pumpkin-at-deerfield-fair-largest-ever-grown-in-nh/5269592#

 Catholic saint day to Vincent de Paul- patron of charity- benevolence to the poor, or good working to the financially weakest, a literary note, the word was used hundreds of years ago as a synonym for christian activity.

• 28th- Neptune Moon conjunction
• 29th- Full Moon, called a Harvest Moon as this Moon is when harvesting should begin in north eastern united states. ; Moon on equator means the closest thing to a line can be made from earth's center to the moon's, in an instant.

If you want a taste of the kind of storytelling , here is a teleplay from the Twilight Zone derived from Beaumont's "Beautiful People" titled: "Number 12 looks just like you"

Indigenous suffering

No one has had it worse than the Native American. I will always wonder when a native american will ignite the biggest bomb ever in the usa.

How do you define Black Greatness

My Answer

I define Black Greatness, absent any desire to influence another's definition, as contentment. 

I think when Black folk are happy, nothing like it exists anywhere else in humanity. 

What is yours?

CENTO Series episode 17

Only one cento for this episode, for I wanted to share a little fictional prose. 

Oh griot, sing from tween the years when the ant hordes drank Gold Mushrooms and the silver tree barks, and the years of the rise of the Daughters of Kus, there was an age undreamed of, when beaming gardens lay spread across the world like free rainbows beneath the stars.

the original quote is below , do you know who is it from? say in comments, I will not tell.:) 

Know, oh prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the Sons of Aryas, there was an Age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars.

a story

https://aalbc.com/tc/blogs/entry/261-september-equinox-art-or-text-craft-parade-good-news-blog/?do=findComment&comment=947

• 22nd- Moon closest to the south pole, greatest angle from equator going south; Mercury greatest distance from sun in the sky , elongation
• 23rd- September Equinox, the beginning of Spring in the southern hemisphere while the beginning of Autumn in the northern hemisphere. Equinox means equal night. In this day, as in the other equinox,  the equator of the earth if expanded like a disk for in an instant makes the smallest angle between itself and the center of the sun. Or you can say, if a line was made between the center of the earth side the center of the sun, the equator will be at said line.

I was fortunate enough to be part of an art collaboration by ry-spirit on deviantart. It involved the super smash bros theme. I produced bayonetta. Here is a little poem:) 

Mistress Cherry, quite contrary
How does your spellbook grow?
With shapeshift ghouls and summon'd tools
And so my spellbook grows

Left hand tutorials

When I was a child I used both my hands. Unfortunately, influence from the majority is never insequential, positively or negatively, and I didn't do it as much. But I utilize the tutorials in Deviantart to spend time drawing with my left hand.  No reason exists why all humans beings aren't reared to use both outside of poor rearing systems.

I place the list of tutorials at the following post, they are all graphite, but have fun. 

https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2435&type=status

A fellow artists I am attached to on Deviantart just made over 5,000 watchers. Which is worthy of acclaim on a specialized site like Deviantart which is truly built for artists of all mediums/styles/disciplines, but not really the social landscapers , human or electronic,  that poison all the largest websites based on their populace of users. I made a little artwork for them. 

Sudowoodo

I made a Sudowoodo for a positive donation pool, if you make an artwork, nature conservancy gets two dollars. I did similar before with a make a wish collaboration. So, Sudowoodo can be considered my favorite pokemon based on art, even though I argue sableeye is my favorite in game playing.

All three Sudowoodo are cited in the Black Games Elite post below. Join the group , it will get better, but regardless , have fun.

DATES

• 11 Venus Moon conjunction
• 12 Moon furthest from earth, apogee
• 13 Mercury Moon conjunction ; 1833 ice from Boston Massachusetts's, on the ship Tuscany leaving May 12th 1833 holding 180 tonnes, first arrived in Calcutta India with 100 tonnes < More information https://scroll.in/article/720912/how-ice-shipped-all-the-way-from-america-became-a-luxury-item-in-colonial-india > .
• 14 New Moon, least light from the sun. Mercury appear static in the sky. 
• 15 Moon on Equator, angle between Earth's center to Moon's center closest to zero using the equator as reference
• 16 Moon will eclipse Mars, not the sun, some call an occultation. cult is a hidin, -tion is a thing. oc- means away from, occultation- a thing that hides something away from; Hyperion, also named saturn seven, moon of Saturn, early sighting. It is one of the first moons not known to be round.

The New Space Engine

Particle physics is just that the comprehension of the physicality of particles in them selves and unto each other. 
Now comprehend in the following explanation these are all names, you are free to use whatever names you want. Just because somebody said to call something one thing, doesn't mean you have to. Just because everyone around you uses a word for one thing, doesn't mean you have to.  I will use commonly used terms simply for others to check what i say or search on available tools, not cause I wish to carry or support the nomenclature.

Now you have compounds like "H20" which is two "hydrogen atoms" with one "oxygen atom". But "hydrogen atoms" plus "oxygen atoms" or all others on the "periodic table of elements" are composed of "electrons"/"protons"/"neutrons" or emit "photons" or "neutrinos" plus other things. You comprehend the term particle physics. To comprehend the "hydrogen atom" you need to comprehend the "electron" plus other particles. 

"protons" + "neutrons" are composed of "quarks" + "gluons". 
The "electron"  or "neutrino" or "photons" or "muons" + "quarks"  or "gluons" are commonly known to be absent composite parts. But they each have different times of life. As you know, "photons" in certain conditions is the basis for visible light. "Electrons" or "Protons" or "Neutrons" make up human side all other complex biochemical system's, including the earth itself. They don't operate like "photons", or you will see everybody in a flash. 

"gluons" are considered unstable. A nice way to think of it is the basis behind "Nuclear fission". In "nuclear fission",  elements of the "periodic table" some call heavy based on the quantity of "protons" or "electrons" or "neutrons" like "Uranium"<circa 96 protons> for example have a natural decay. Which means what? Like the human body decays at death, unstable. "uranium" does the same thing, as a much smaller entity than a human body , and slowly losses "electrons"/"protons" /"neutrons" becoming lighter and lighter till "Iron" <circa 26 protons> if I am correct. The release of the particles is energy and that energy can heat things, like water. ala a "Nuclear power plant".

So comprehending the very tiniest of particles can help explain in more detail the grandest of actions. The race to a nuclear powered space ship engine will be better designed if the smallest of particles actions can be more easily calculated.
