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.

Photomanipulation

Dark Horse Ring

For the adoptables I have figured out to focus on items of jewelry. All my designs, and through suing stock I can give them added texture. I explain the item in the post.

The 16th Iq'o Ch'en 

Another item. This was for a pirate theme. I did great research on the maya. Take a look at the adoptables description.

Harvest Eternal complete

I made the poem already. But I finished the typeface, and made the calligraphy. Enjoy.  The design was inspired by another artist work.

Pa Bones Hustlers Dice complete

I finished the dice and the poem but realized t lacked a tutorial. I made the object to be simple to draw but no one took a crack at it.

The Poem

:) for those who know

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?

Jann Wenner and the art of the fair interview

I read Wenner's [a creator of 'rolling stone magazine'] New York times 09/19/2023 interview  in completion.  He was asked a very personal question. How did you choose subjects for your book? His answer was honest while judgmental, but he also conveyed his own method for interviews which the interviewee of the times was ignorant of. I find it a simple reality. Wenner didn't relate to non white + non male rock and roll artist cause non white + non male rock and roll artist are different. Labor practices among women are well known to differ than men, even in the same situation. This relates to how non black or non male artist interview , which Wenner judged disconnected to the talking points of white male rock and roll artist.

The complete interview is linked using the photo or url below

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.

• 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.

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.

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.

HeadQuarters District of Texas

Galveston Texas June 19th 1865.

General Orders

No. 3

The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, “all slaves are free.” This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired labor.

The freedmen are advised to remain quietly at their present homes and work for wages. They are informed that they will not be allowed to collect at military posts and that they will not be supported in idleness either there or elsewhere.

By order of Major General Granger

F. W. Emery

Major A. A. Genl.

IN ODE TO BOJANGLES FROM A LEGEND

backstory of song

"Mr. Bojangles" is a song written and originally recorded by American country music artist Jerry Jeff Walker for his 1968 album of the same title.
Walker said he was inspired to write the song after an encounter with a street performer in a New Orleans jail. While in jail for public intoxication in 1965, he met a homeless man who called himself "Mr. Bojangles" to conceal his true identity from the police. Mr. Bojangles had been arrested as part of a police sweep of indigent people that was carried out following a high-profile murder. The two men and others in the cell chatted about all manner of things, but when Mr. Bojangles told a story about his dog, the mood in the room turned heavy. Someone else in the cell asked for something to lighten the mood, and Mr. Bojangles obliged with a tap dance. The homeless "Mr. Bojangles", who was white, had taken his pseudonym from Bill "Bojangles" Robinson (1878–1949), a black entertainer.
