CENTO Series episode 28
ici, la pluie bat son plein
elle attire sans pitie, toutes les betes
ecaille par ecaille
clouee sur un tapis de ronces
et lentement
fane
here, the rain is in full swing
she mercilessly attracts, all the beasts
scale by scale
nailed to a carpet of brambles
and slowly
fades

and fading memories forever haunt
of the hearts of those bereaved
with fingers stretched outward, yearning

King of Dead Horses Ring
no story or poem story. I just wanted to make an item for a competition. I am proud that I made this as I tend to make art that is multifaceted, graphic plus text. I realize for adoptables I need to focus on jewelry design. I have another coming up.

Photomanip storybook
I made a photomanipulation. After many attempts at trying I figured out how I can do photomanipulations in my own creative context. I am not a huge or big fan of using other people's work. I feel confident I can make anything I imagine as literature or graphic. But, the photomanipulation contests want multiple elements , as a collage I can do the multiple elements.
I have another photomanipulation coming soon.
The storybook photomanipulation- everything is cited in the post.

IF YOU MADE IT THIS FAR
Disney 100
At the 18th of October , Disney turned 100 years old. After the photo are my thoughts.
yesterday they had on local television a celebration of the 100 , which i had no idea of, before presenting encanto and I thought to myself Disney probably will be only angry at one thing today. And that is how little competition Disney has garnered from other artist in the USA. Yes, Disney the firm, from Walt's time to now is competitive and likes to be the main/sole/primary cartoon source in the usa. But, Disney was correct when he spoke to the artists who wanted to strike years ago. Owning your own business is what he did to free himself from others, as an abused artist. He wanted his workers to do the same but most did not feel or have the strength to do that and I think workers still don't.

Modern Black Federalism in the USA
The Black Populace in the USA, in all of its forms, always had a group of extreme federalist. But they have never functionalized their position.

Caribbean Christianity
Jean Ann Field Ridley has made a book to make christianity relatable to black children in the caribbean.
I quote her
The series is written to address the erroneous suggestion that the Bible and Christianity are about and for White people and that it is therefore the White man's religion. This is a view strongly held by some elements within the Caribbean culture.
