Illo Friday: Depth
Eyes Are Mosaics
you are the blue angel
hovering thru the night
huntress of eternal depth
as the darkness drops again.
your touch -
loom over the horizon
above night blue breeze
outlined in soft bright lights
and i cant live til forever,
in a pile of thunders we wait
you weep thru the shadows
summoning all the fates...
so i come -
longing to look thru your eyes
longing to taste your whispers
longing to hear your footsteps
longing to feel your wraith
longing to be
possessed...

notes:
Story behind the title: I borrowed the title "Eyes are Mosaics" from a song in the album The Moon and the Melodies by Elizabeth Fraser (voice behind Cocteau Twins), Harold Budd, Robin Guthrie & Simon Raymonde. (I hope they wont mind.. hehe) This album was my background music during the first hours making this illo (yes, repeat mode).
Story behind the illo: This is strangely fun to do.. and believe it or not, i made this illo for a total of 17 hours, layering (using cut and paste), zooming at 800%, drinking too much green tea and and stepping 3 feet away from the monitor.. 8) using only MS Paint. I already have my copy of Photoshop CS but havent installed it yet, and i do not think i can draw as freely there unlike ms paint. (sometimes i just cant avoid to like doing things the hard way..)
After finishing the original "painting" i was amazed at how the image appear to convey a different meaning everytime i flip and combine it in different angles. The original bitmap image is 550 x 690 pixels with 96dpi. But i decided to post the multi-images that i devided in two parts. Hope you'd all enjoy staring.. as i did, making. Pls click the images for better view.
This is my favorite illo i made so far. Thanks IF for picking the topic "Depth".
And for the story behind the poem - you be the judge.

The top image looks like two alien women (or angles); the bottom one reminds me of long hair under water! Thanks for your interesting image(s) this week. You are right about it being a favourite entry :)
i want to curl up with a drink a fire and a memory
(too bad i can't project your words/pic on the wall above the mantel)

Anonymous.. nice interpretation.. see, thats nice about IF.. we get to see different perspectives. thanks, this is indeed a fave.

LadyWhiteSpirit.. hihi.. akala ko nga angel. But if you look at it, each pic has a different story to tell. sa yahoo-ulitin..
Rownatree.. thanks. and yeah im forseeing enless possibilities with PS thats why im waitin til i get a new HD before installing it. at preset rate, my pc is so slow already. need more space. 8)
This illo is gorgeous! The colors are so strong and true, and it has a real mesmerizing quality to it. There's also the feeling of optical illusion..I see different bits of features and then I don't. I can totally imagine that it took you that long to create! I also really like the poem.
Love the blues!
These images almost move they're so swirly and vibrant! They do draw the viewer in and have amazing depth. I see a figure or figures in the top two also, among many other things... The colours are perfect.
This is gorgeous! It's easy to lose myself in them.
carla.. made this my desktoop wallpaper, and indeed i get kinda hypnotized into staring too.. add that with music and im not getting off my chair anytime soon.. lol.
ian t.. thanks, some images do reflect ones own thoughts.. sometimes, theres some kind of psychedelic thrill to it too.
Joli Noir Perle, AravisArwen.. thanks, glad you like them 8)

My, they look absolutely stunning!!! You ooze creativity!! I wish I could draw like that haha..
gee... thanks Aristocrat 8)
i just simply like it....
ohh thanks! just read this now.. but it would have been nice too if you said who you were.. 8) but still thank you..
The abstract expressionists said that a good painting is one you could flip in any direction and it'd still look great. I'm not sure which one said that though. Tee hee.
ohh tried to find who said it too.. thanks for droppin by and for a great insight..
