Steam Punk Suzanne and the Anti-Aging Device

She could bear and wouldn't look
at the wrinkles on her skin
she cranked up this, and shored up that
only be be worse than she
had ever been.

I think that the hardest thing for me to do with this piece was title it. I wanted to call it Post Menopause Art or something along those lines. All the while I was working on it I kept think gosh she looks like Suzanne Sommers. When I was preparing it for print I saw for the first time the word Age on her thigh. (it had been part of an antique cigar tin I had called PORTAGE) That sealed the deal for me. On a more serious note, it is yet another piece of the "Visual Diary of the journey to the Edge of Dsyphoria" It is another likely outcome of a world left with no more than Man as God. We will tweak, and twist and improve by any means possible our aging carcasses. Because we are all about appearances and youth. I would love to learn to see us as God sees us...beauty in the hoary heads and wrinkled faces.

The Angels Fell and They Know Not

When man became God
the angels fell and knew not
to lead the masses to believe
Hades the paradise, they sought

This is another addition to my steampunk/cyberpunk saga series. Depicting the likely outcome of man becoming god. The wings are an image transfer taken from an antique spark plug tin, and then I drew in the figure around it in color pencils

Invincible Queen

It has been awhile since I have done a completely digital work. But I wanted to try this one as digital first. It allowed me to really capture the drama I wanted with the background on the piece. I am working on the "analog" version as we speak, and have determined it will be a dramatic piece also, but in a very different way. Stay tuned!

Another Scribbled Life

This is my latest Self Portrait done in Scribbletoo drawing program.I toook me about 15 min. It really is an extraordinary program. And artist or not you have to give it a try it is almost more fun than you'll have time for! The Scribbletoo site

The Time Manager

Time time how it slips away
I shouldn't worry, I should say
what I do I do the rest will
wait to another day...

The Idea of a Victorian time manager totally intrigues me. First you have to ask yourself did they really need one? There were no life coaches, car pools, or even "quality time" back then. They had instead things like dinner time, church time and bedtime. The second question that comes to mind is were their priorities all that wrong? At any rate, this would be the answer or the truth, You can not stretch time, hold back time, thrust time forth. The only variable in this experiment is you. How far can you stretch, go and bend? Frankly I would like to sit down over dinner and think about it.

This is one of my first Steampunk pieces. While doing a sketch for a little steampunk sculpture, I realized the synergy between Cubism and Steampunk. One really doesn't work without the other. I like to think that it is a type of Steampunk meets Picasso.

Cassie Capacitor

Going through my Dads stuff, after our estate sale I found some unsold boxes of "junk". I had some warm memories of sitting with my father as a young girl and handing him the sodder as he worked on TV's and Radios. Later he owned a Gas station and all that was left were these 3 boxes. I brought them home and got to thinking, after staring at them for a week, I ordered some fimo and paint markers. Let me introduce you to Cassie Capacitor.
