The art of manipulation

The source of the image  you see was made with computer programs but it took 42 hours of touchups to get the source of the image you see to the image you see. Human art is still needed.

GDBee Kickstarter

she earned over 1000 preorders and still time for more

the link to the kickstarter or to discuss the artist is at the following

Chocolate Cage

You take a balloon, if you have skill form it into a shape. 
Then melt chocolate. Your preference as chocolate comes in many forms. But I think you can even melt simple hershey bars. 
Then put the melted chocolate in a funnel , wait for the chocolate to be in a melting state like syrup or honey, not a liquid state. 
then open the funnel's spout and spread the chocolate in a pattern about the balloon
Then wait for the chocolate to cool. 
then once cool, pop the balloon and a chocolate cage:)
 and you can add things to the chocolate like nuts or other things for different flavors.

How commonly called AI art and I stand

I will start with the pot and then do the honey,yes that is reverse. 
For those that fear the writing on the wall about the ability of all to express their imagination in various forms, with ever growing precision. it is here. Not all in humanity are online or own a powerful enough computer, most don't in fact. But, for those online or who can afford, the way in which a human artist is needed is going to change, and as in all labors it will not be sheparded or guided well but will be chaotic and messy as all labor changes in the usa in particular are. 
Pot closed.
Now two big drops of honey. 
First,  people who can have embraced these advanced computer brushes. And they are getting not just in illustrations but in literature what they want to see. The human imagination is infinite, it has not lessened and these tools will allow an expanse of imaginative displays. 
Second, I talk to people in other parts of humanity, not just the usa. outside the rich parts of humanity a respect or liking for non electronic craft is strengthening so, for those who may feel like the walls of the traditional artists are closing in, i argue they are not but you need to get to the audience and in the usa or richer places in humanity, we are living at the beginning of a different taste in how art shall be consumed. 
As for myself, i simply create the way i do for the reason i started when a child. I enjoy it. I have never been in competition with another artist. I simply create and use the gain in experience to learn.
As for my relationship to synthography or what I said elsewhere in these comment,  work through advanced computer brushes  , it is inexperienced or young. I probably will never put my own literature or illustrations into the machine to determine something new. But, using old poetry and then playing with various art styles was fun so I imagine I will do more of that with these contests in the future. But I don't know, we will see. 
 https://www.deviantart.com/wrath/journal/The-V-Day-Nostalgia-Challenge-was-amazing-1025382667

IN AMENDMENT
yeah and that is why in my entry i had the gif style. To show people how you can use literature to get some idea and then use art styles through the names of artist themselves to garner various results, some quite pretty..... I have said the following elsewhere. We already know what  synthography is, it is called the holodeck. You know on the enterprise or elsewhere in the star trek universe from the next generation onward, when someone wants to relax, they go to the holodeck and say
"computer, show me a bar on earth , new orleans, in the late 1800s during carnival , filled with black pirates from tortuga in haiti from the 1600s as customers" and then the computer makes a scene the person is standing in and then they say " add a platform for a singer and make it a young ella fitzgerald supported by the louis jordan band" and then more changes,and the they say "run program" we in modernity are not there yet, but the google ai text to video is the first step there. That is all these is. It doesn't mean , ala the same show star trek, people can't do hand craft like in star trek insurrection when the people on that planet where no one ages because of the rings spend hundreds of years as apprentices learning how to sew intricately. I think people in the usa at least already know what ai art will become but it never occured to them that star trek was also right about the money working out differently. PEople in star trek do pay for holodeck programs , they are called holosuites so...  even though I am a traditional artist I comprehend this tool easily.  https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/1025382667/5119706605

What are your thoughts on rejection? How do you think it can help... if there is a silver lining?

 
happens to all artist eventually.  I think rejection has different intensity levels based on who gives it. In my home, people have judged , not even, not the right color , similar. But, outside my home, in my presence, people have said , his work is crap. I have had work win entry in some things, not win entry in most. But, the key is not having a home where rejection is the standard. I think all artist eventually can climb over the bridges of rejection outside the house. But in the home, i think it is devastating to have certain kinds of rejection. I know dancers/singers who grew up with , to be blunt, rejectors in the house. I can't go into grand detail. But, my point is I don't think I will have the confidence or the patience in myself if not for the support of the home. And I have seen those who didn't have that and it can be really tough. MAgazines/publishers is one thing but the home is the worst.

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.

Focus Comics

They have classes for autistic children to make comics and more.

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?

A quick glimpse

Is Donald Trump a leader? 

The obvious problem in the discourse to leadership is what determines a leader. This is not a universally definable thing, absent some form of slavery. I will not tell you to accept my definition to what makes one a leader. Rather, consider my definition is one that organizes,plans,inspires,implements, risks for a group.

Based on that definition, Schrumpft is not a leader, but then what is he? I offer what I think below. Remember to click, read more.

Statian Wives

The women of the USA are suggested through a very narrow study to have three different opinions on their name after marriage. Black is not (Mestizo+Mulatto) is not White. It gives a small glimpse as to why the woman's movement has fissures. Different subraces of women, like the phenotypical mentioned above, differ in self identity.

Black Speak

Someone on AALBC, Troy, , made an argument against my use of words. And I realized that the problem hasn't been in this instance or times before with others, that word use was different between me side another black person. The problem was I was unwilling to succumb to the majority in the black community in such an elemental aspect as language. And it connects to other aspects. I wonder how many Black people in Black groups in the USA oppose other Black groups in the USA merely cause they are the minority? The word democracy means rule of the people. But the people always rule. The question is, do the majority rule? When is individualism allowed, when the individual joins the majority only? All Language warrant management over time. Why? Cause sooner or later an individuals language can be damaging to a populace and can become a groups in said populaces language. Where in it can only lead to doom cause you can't bridge languages by definition opposed to each other.

Main post where I describe elements of me paying attention in the week and developing a story concept based on it

Poetry based on things i paid attention to

Stageplay, using the character of Sarah from Innocent Little Margaret , having elements from the Pay Attention

What artists has truly inspired you, pick one? 

asked by RTNightmare

August Wilson, the playwright. He wrote the play Fences which was made into a film with Viola Davis side Denzel Washington. I also saw those thespians on stage.

why has august wilson inspired me more than other artists who have inspired me? 

I must first say I can make this comment book length on why. But, I will focus on how August Wilson inspires me in an uncommon way. 

...

Art in all forms or fashions is unbounded in what humans can create/intake from it. Unfortunately while inevitably, all art is influenced by the relationship humans have to each other. Art from individuals in a human community that is subservient to another human community can become trapped in or show shackles from the reality beyond the individual imagination. 

August Wilson's plays are clearly set in Black communal spaces in the usa, but are not devoid the presence of potency from the white community in the usa. While the black characters or their space is not caricatured, an exaggeration, nor is the potency from whites outside of black spaces caricatured. 

Finally, the resulting message, all art has messages <yes, even the absence of a message is a message> , doesn't pigeonhole the spectator whether Black or non Black into a guided mindset. 

All my words above are give a short explanation to the difficulty in making art that publicly involves race while not caricaturing any race or guiding the mindset of those who ingest said art on how they shall think. 

The audience is not a fool, no one is, we all know the world beyond the individual imagination, whether we like it or not. 

But seeing with my own eyes, various peoples who clearly share different opinions, leave a theater with the same mindset they came in while experiencing a story that is specific and in every element relates to the various battles or histories outside the theater. 

That is not common for artists. 

To be blunt, Barbie from ruth handler, for colored girls from Ntozake Shange , Huckleberry finn from mark twain, various films from spike lee, the little mermaid films from disney... a long list of highly acclaimed beloved art, doesn't allow for interaction by all races without caricaturing a race or trying to massage minds to change while being clearly racial in design. 

That unique quality is what August Wilson was able to achieve as a writer and that ability to achieve a unique quality puts the spirt in me to achieve different but just as unique qualities in my own craft.

I Sit And Think 

from JRR Tolkien

I sit beside the fire and think
of all that I have seen,
of meadow-flowers and butterflies
in summers that have been;

Of yellow leaves and gossamer
in autumns that there were,
with morning mist and silver sun
and wind upon my hair.

I sit beside the fire and think
of how the world will be
when winter comes without a spring
that I shall never see.

For still there are so many things
that I have never seen:
in every wood in every spring
there is a different green.

I sit beside the fire and think
of people long ago,
and people who will see a world
that I shall never know.

But all the while I sit and think
of times there were before,
I listen for returning feet
and voices at the door.

Harlem of Yore

1930 Harlem, I think circa 135th street madison

Enlistment into Ethiopia, which is why Ras Tafari commonly called Haille Selassie publicly offered land in Ethiopia in Harlem afterward. Ras Tafarians from Jamaica took the chance but it was meant for Black Harlemites.

Do you say what you really want if empowered?

From said time in Harlem to now, many black people in the USA suggest they want a world of equality but is that true? I argue many groups in the USA, not empowered, don't want equality, simply want to replace white/christian/heterosexual/men... but is that a negative desire, now that is the question?

Accessibility Interview

My Thoughts

I thought about accessibility. If accessibility was considered from the beginning of most processes it would undo alot of the schemes/scams/ aspects of entertainment/social media/wesbites or other. 
For example, I like the mandolorian show from Disney. If someone is blind and they can't see the Mandolorian maybe they have an audio read version available. So they can hear each episode absent commercials. But imagine if you are listening to an on demand film, like Godzilla,  like from TNT of the warner bros group in Discovery. Imagine you hear:"this thing killed my wife!, have you ever had bad bowels, Well try..." The commercial break is by default a terrible element. For someone who can only hear they are bound to hear a commercial where those with sight can mute and move on and come back. 
Accessibility if engineered optimally will delete many methods of commercialization in entertainment or media through electronic means.
