Some art to enjoy 

Here is the Dexterity test:) 

The sleeping princess, can you tell the story in the image? 

I was working on my submission for the levar burton fiyah and thus, I was too late for the competitive aspect, but not to late for the invitational aspect.

The prompt is
Leaves sing atop ancient trees - rustling, whispering, teasing the senses - telling a quiet tale of one taller than, gentler than, the oldest oak.

I figured I will tell a tale in an image.
I will give you some questions to help you.
What planet is this?
What is the craft the female is working on?
What does the text in chinese say?
What is the robot telling her to do?
Who is the signal on the wall for and what does it say?
What is the statue in the hallway behind the princess?

The Teleman- Issue #1 - gifcomic is linked in the description

 was working on my submission for the levar burton fiyah and thus, I was too late for the competitive aspect, but not to late for the invitational aspect.

For a superhero, I admittedly wanted something simpler or galactic. My imagination sprouted Teleman. I even made him a comic you can enjoy as pages or a gif in the following links.

The ancient town of Dalila- what is going on!?:) 

I was working on my submission for the levar burton fiyah and thus, I was too late for the competitive aspect, but not to late for the invitational aspect.

Dalila is an old robot, battered or bruised where it lay , eons ago. But, its mechanical heart remain a source of nourishment for life and its body, like a pyramid or temple of earliest times from kemet, has preserved to still be useful. 
But all is not so easy in the town. The bug pit is not what it was, and outsiders have brought a new level of violence. 

I will place the original source image in the comments

Source image of Dalila... isn't she cute and the oscar goes too....

Microcalligraphy based on Kloir

I was working on my submission for the levar burton fiyah and thus, I was too late for the competitive aspect, but not to late for the invitational aspect.


The poem I created based on the image is the following:

Title: The Trees before what you see

If a tree has no shadow, it is the darkest breed
Gatekeeper to secrets, doorway... to fantasees
The magic need the trees
Not to live, to be seen
The light need the leaves
Not to live, to careen
When one walk where magic, the Elders say
The trees are above the doves soiree
While you will see castle balconies
The squirrel dare the oldest tree top, where winds can catapult any to doom
For the sight is a gift, see nature in full bloom
Beward the princess at the sweetest tree
She see you coming, she see you need
But she know the forest, better than you think
Talk to an oak, and you will get a joke
Talk to a kapok... and you will see free folk
Talk to a boabab, and a sweet to your gob
Talk to a ginko, and remember what you sow
Talk to a yew, and catch a brand new
Talk to a mulberry and ripples from your mind's ferry
Talk to a tree and see... something
The last of the tree guard, has no leaves
Performs the magic you will see...
Look up! the purple cork floats or corral the leaves
A bed in the sky to cover the scene

For this piece I continue the design style from the last calligraphic work of not using the entire poem in the calligraphy. This time I am particularly happy cause I used new colored inks. I like how the inks came out but I need to get smaller widths. The widths did not allow the finesse I achieved with my pencil. So, this ink does not have the intricacy of the pencil.


Calligraphy version1 The Trees before what you see

Gatekeeper to secrets
The magic need the trees
The light need the leaves
When one walk where magic
The squirrel dare the oldest tree
Beware the princess, at the sweetest tree
... Talk too a tree and see...  something
Performs the magic you will see

Calligraphy version 2 The Trees before what you see <what was used>

Gatekeeper to secrets
The magic need the trees
The light need the leaves
When one walk where magic
The squirrel dare the oldest tree
Beware the princess
... Talk too a tree and see
The magic you will see

the post competitive invitational

Dexterity Test - about 3 hours- I had to use my left hand, the right hand, it is over too quickly...:) 

I was working on my submission for the levar burton fiyah and thus, I was too late for the competitive aspect, but not to late for the invitational aspect.

I am fortunate that I know what I like to create as an artist. That is poems/short stories/graphite drawings. I can do these three things forever, no pay needed. As it is, for the dexterity test I decided to do something I hadn't done in a while and that is draw with my left hand. As a kid I wrote or drew with either hand, but environments do manipulate folks.
I timed myself, and I used only a graphite pencil/an eraser, and my smudger plus a white sheet of paper. My left hand had some serious issues smudging or erasing. The penciling was just about getting muscle memory back. I think halfway through I got some of the memory back. I will have to remind myself to draw with the left hand exclusively to reject such rust in the future.
My times:
3:42 pm to 6:04 pm
an Errands OR watermelon break
6:15 to 6:45 pm
I recall only one time near the end did I use the right hand and it was for two eraser motions, not large ones, and I recovered the left hand.
My desire to go faster is what pushed it so a lesson is in that folks. Slow down , keep the pace slow and that will aid in going from hand to hand.

Nurse Leechman - isn't she cute 

I was working on my submission for the levar burton fiyah and thus, I was too late for the competitive aspect, but not to late for the invitational aspect.

Nurse Leechman
Her probiscus is covered to not alarm anyone and to be sanitary. She walks upright and carries anticoagulent which is always important to those whose blood is acting irregular or unhealthy. And she makes it herself. As she is pregnant, though you can't see it right now. She is carrying the micromarsupial daily, the must have magazine for any young Siamensis needing guidance or tips on caring for their upcoming child. Edited by legendary Mrs. Roo. Isn't this nurse cute! 

This was quite interesting for me research wise. That word monster meaning disgusting or not cute, isn't in my mentality. Monsters can be cute... anyway. In my search to find something not thought of as cute or pleasant or safe to be around. I thought of a leech. But which leech?
I learned of the leech Siamensis Placobdelloides of the glossiphoniidae. Now like all leehces her saliva has anticoagulents which stop blood from going to gel from liquid and so I automatically thought nurse. But, this particular breed of Leech has another great attribute. They carry their young.

The Night Table- can you guess some of the references in my film noir short:) 

I was working on my submission for the levar burton fiyah and thus, I was too late for the competitive aspect, but not to late for the invitational aspect.

I had two ideas for the one light source originally, the first one I finished all but the chiaroscuro. I was pondering between doing a single street lamp or doing an inverted one light source. But I was undecided so I went on to the second idea. I haven't shared the first one, it is merely cause I want rest. I will in the future. but I see this idea as the first scene and the first idea as the second scene, a little film noir couplet.
Enjoy
