Memento Mori ~ ("Remember your Death", or "Be mindful of your impending death" or "remember you shall die" ~ My translation is questionable)
18" x 24" Acrylic on panel ~ October 2009
One of the "UNDERWORLD" paintings I've been creating in the past few months. This one is changing however. As you can see, human faces are beginning to show up. In this case, they are the dead floating in the still waters before the symbol of death, the skull. The skull is being overgrown with reeds showing the passing of time. I'm not sure where I'll take this underworld theme next.

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future,.... nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus, our Lord."
-- If a vagina is art, so is a penis too. If a woman's ass hole is art, so is a man's ass hole too. If a woman's breasts is art, so is a man's chest too. If tied up women is art, so are tied up men too.
You've done a really great job with the faces. I don't recall seeing much of your work with faces in it, so it's really great to see. I especially like the female face in the center under the wings.

I love the pale, beady-eyed creatures with the trunks, and the strange, wrapped-up looking creature that appears to attract insects. It's also cool how tiny the humans apparently are compared to everything else here.

This newsletter was "born" back in March 2007, from a conversation between ~Lareth and =FrozenStarRo, who with the help of their friends *Iardacil and =Sylwiaa , wanted to make something to promote known and unknown photomanipulators alike here on DeviantArt. As of September 2009 =ImaginaryRosse joined the project and will be helping us out with the weekly choices. While things have changed over time, the essence of the newsletter is still the same. As of recent, the talented =Behana has joined us in bringing you this weekly newsletter and we are excited to have her on board. This is a special feature, with a selection of 50 manips from the past year that we loved.
