Unspoken words don't consolate me
they're blessed they're cursed

Unspoken words lose their inner beauty when they were revealed!

Childhood Memories...

Tue Oct 19, 2010, 6:47 AM

Childhood memories winners... and contests


Hallo everyone, generally I list the featured works before, but I know only a few of you will reach the end of a journal :laughing: and, among the ones who do it, a little slice of this cake will comment below :smoking:

Well, so before the features, just a few contests you might be interested in.

:bulletred: If you're fond of children :iconbeinspyred: is holding  an interesting contest. You have simply to use one of the stocks listed in the news article Childrens Fantasy Art stock, :+favlove: the article, and follow the rules.
Deadline 30th November.
I hope you enjoy it.









:iconcontest-cornucopia:


For this group contests, you can partecipate even with old entries


:bulletred: I dream of Jeannie.

The date has been extended till the 30th of October.





:bulletred: The Eerie wall

One day you perceived something in that wall and now you try to avoid it. The idea to approach it terrifies you, because it contains something evil, something forbidden, something supernatural. Something that shouldn't be there....


This seems nice to partecipate for me myself... è_é
I have some scary ideas in the last times...
Check the blog article for more info...










:bulletred: Visit the blog linked above or visit #MarvelousManips'homepage

Kiriban...

Journal Entry: Sat Sep 11, 2010, 6:18 AM
Wow, I reached my first kiriban




:boogie: :dance: :boogie:


:community:


:strong::strong::strong:


:bounce:

First of all I want to thank all my watchers, all my friends all those who support me with a comment, with an emote on my wallpost or with a :+fav:. And for sharing your amazing art too!
It means a lot for me!
I'm not always allowed to answer you all.
However you must know all that is really appreciated.


Yesterday I saw I had 9.7_ _ pageviews.
I thought, I should prepare a new journal article for my first kiriban... I think I'll reach it in a week.

This mornin I log and ohh... what a surprise. more than 10.200 pageviews... wow.
Slow, slow as a snail.

I just wanted to decorate my page with this amazing snail from *guille1701
And, In the middle of the canvas, a very appreciated gift to me from ~DRAGONlolidk123
(actually I think I've stolen it, however Amanda told me that someway it was a gift to me)




SlowlyAll is dark and quiet
The cold brings a riot
Oh lente currite noctis equi
Bells ringing sweetly

Leaves falling, falling
Winter they are stalling
Seasons now are shifting
Snowflakes drifting, drifting

Slowly slowly coming
Cold wind softly humming
Old and sore, a splinter
Slowly coming winter

Nighttimes shadows weight a tonne
Oh the horses of the night run
The darkness of winter seems unholy
Not quickly but slowly, slowly




Thank you Amanda! :heart:



I could not wait to edit my journal....
I had preferred to do it with a great feature... but, no problem, there's time to do it!
And this is a nice weekend and no-one is going to read my journals for a few days.

thank you all again.
See you next week!
Peppe.

Hallo everyone, how are you?
Hope fine. Here in Sicily not too bad... the wather's slowly changing to autumn and slowly I'm getting into depression ;-) Just kidding. However I suffer the season change.
Well, just a few things I think you have to know.

The theme is "What makes a man". You can submit up to 2 deviations to the group, and you must use a stock provided by the group. (Only members can participate, so you have to join the group, as I did myself)
For further info, please read the rules on the group home page: #ManStock

It's only a few weeks I've made the acquaintance with the founder :icondab-blingin-art: and, I assure, she's a very lovely :heart: and fantastic person.

Just enjoying a friend's DD



Just today my friend :iconxetobyte: got a DD.
To be precise his first DD.

So happy for you, Xetobyte!

This is the amazing piece:



I’ve always appreciated his style, very clean and clear, since I knew him. His compositions are always equilibrate and meaningful.

Other amazing pieces I most like in his gallery:





Hope you enjoy them.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Journal Entry: Mon Apr 5, 2010, 6:36 AM
This morning I was looking for some stock-images for my next works.
I think it was a mistake, I reached the wrong cathegory and I found this picture that really gave me a smile.

Everyone, among you, who knows "The creation of Adam" of Michelangelo, I'm sure will found it pretty amusing ;-)




I didn't know the original musical with Susan Sarandon (she was very young in the musical ;-) ) when I first saw a performance of it by some entertainers in a summer village. I enjoyed it very soon!
I mostly appreciated the characters of Magenta and Columbia.

Watch and listen to "Touch-a Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me"


Toucha toucha toucha touch me, I wanna be dirty
Thrill me chill me fulfil me
Creature of the night.

Then if anything grows while you pose
I'll oil you up and rub you down
And that's just one small fraction of the main attraction
You need a friendly hand and I need action...

The color purple - Il colore viola

Journal Entry: Wed Mar 24, 2010, 11:10 AM

The color purple




   

      The color purple
      

Shugh a beautiful something, let me tell you. She frown a little, look out cross the yard, lean back in her chair, look like a big rose.



She say, My first step from the old white man was trees. Then air. Then birds. Then other people.



But one day when I was sitting quiet and feeling like a motherless child, which I was, it come to me: that feeling of being part of everything, not separate at all.
I knew that if I cut a tree, my arm would bleed. And I laughed and I cried and I run all around the house.
I knew just what it was. In fact, when it happen, you can't miss it. It sort of like you knowwhat, she say, grinning and rubbing high up on my thigh.


Shugh I say.
Oh, she say. God, she say. God love all them feelings. That's some of the best stuff God did. And when you know God loves'em you enjoys'em a lot more. You can just relax, go with everything that's going, and praise God by liking what you like.
God don't think it dirty? I ast.
Naw, she say. god made it. Listen, God love everything you love- and a mess of stuff you don't. But more than anything else, God love admiration.
You saying God vain? I ast.
Naw, she say. Not vain, just wanting to share a good thing. I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it.
What it do when it pissed off? I ast.
Oh, it make something else. People think pleasing God is all God care about. But any fool living in the world can see it always trying to please us back.


Yeah? I say.
Yeah, she say. It always making little surprises and springing them on us when us least expect.


   

      Il colore viola
      

Shugh, qualcosa di bello, lascia che ti parli di lei. Aggrotta un pò le ciglia, guarda fuori verso iul cortile, si accomoda nella sua sedia, sembra una grande rosa.

Dice: "Il mio primo passo dal Grande Uomo Bianco furono gli alberi. Quindi l'aria. Quindi gli uccelli. Quindi le altre persone.

Ma un giorno, mentre stavo sedendo tranquilla e mi sentivo come quell'orfana che di fatti ero, mi sovvenne: quella sensazione di essere parte di tutto, non separata.
Sapevo che se taglio un albero, il mio braccio avrebbe sanguinato. A risi e piansie corsi tuttintorno alla casa. Spevo esattamente cos'era. Infatti, quando succede, non può mancarti.
E' come quello che tu sai cosa,  dice sorrridendo e strofinandomi la coscia.

Shugh dico io.
Oh, replica lei. Dio ama tutti quei sentimenti. Sono tra le cose migliori che Dio abbia fatto. E, quando sai che Dio le ama, le apprrezzi molto di più.
Non hai più tregua, corri assieme a tutto quello che sta succcedendo, e preghi Dio, apprezzando quello che ti piace.
Dio non pensa che sia insulso? chiedo.
No, risponde lei. E' Dio che l'ha creato. Ascolta, Dio ama ogni cosa che tu ami - e, in più, un mucchio di roba che non ti piace.
Ma più di ogni altra cosa, Dio ama l'ammirazione.
Domando io: "Stai dicendo che Dio è vanitoso?".
No, replica lei. Non vanitoso, vuole solo condividere una cosa buona. Credo che Dio si annoierebbe se cammini attraverso il colore viola in un campo da qualche parte e non lo notassi.
Cosa fa quando si annoia? chiedo.
Oh, fa qualcosaltro. La gente pensa che fare piacere a Dio è l'unica cosa che a lui interessa. Ma ogni pazzo in questo mondo può accorgersi che Egli cerca sempre di ricambiare.

Vero? dico io.
Si, dice lei. E' sempre a prepararci piccole sorprese e presentandocele quando meno ce lo aspettiamo.
