Modern Enigma

“I'm a modern enigma

I am living proof

Cold eyes speaking volumes

Of my troubled youth

I believe in the future

From mistakes I have grown

Leaving the shadows

Which were once my home”

Words from the song, Shelter by the Brand New Heavies

Enigma: a person or thing that is mysterious or difficult to understand.

In the Wake of Poseidon

I often title images with whatever first comes to mind and in this instance the album cover of King Crimsons, In The Wake Of Poseidon. One of my all time favourite bands.

I Fear Tomorrow I'll Be Crying
I Fear Tomorrow I'll Be Crying

“The wall on which the prophets wrote

Is cracking at the seams

Confusion will be my epitaph

As I crawl a cracked and broken path

If we make it, we can all sit back and laugh

But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying”

“sitting in my tin can

far from the world

planet earth is purple

and there’s nothing I can do”

Words, with a slight modification, from the song, Space Oddity by David Bowie

I feel as though I could be looking down on the Earth from the International Space Station. The outline of land mass can be seen, as well as the twinkling lights from cities, towns and boats in the harbour.

It is in fact the rusty roof of a car.

My initial thought was of a bunch of flowers, which led to Bouquet and then romance as flowers are often given as a term of love and how often you see (unimaginative);) men on Valentines Day carrying a single Rose or bunch of, and finally the album of the same title ‘The Flowers of Romance by PIL (Public Image Limited)

The Blood Red Game

The Blood Red Game is a book by the Science Fiction writer, Michael Moorcock. I remember reading it back in the early 70's when it came out. Can't recall the story but have a vague recollection of the book cover, a man walking down a path against the backdrop of a 'Blood' red sky full of eyes.

The power of the unconscious to connect a memory from the past, to something I'm looking at in the present.

Early Artist Sketch of Early Man or Undiscovered Francis Bacon?
Early Artist Sketch of Early Man or Undiscovered Francis Bacon?

I was thinking what would early artist sketches look like? We’ve seen cave drawings and they are very simplistic, so presumably an early portrait would be similar, without much detail?

Equally this also reminds me of a Francis Bacon image in the making.

The beauty of abstract images is they can be whatever your mind wants and allows. Indeed it encourages the minds expression.
