Detach

I had a hard time making a good photograph of this one. But I wanted to post something for IF this week so I just have to let it go for now and work on it later....

Canned

I need some refreshment because it's 29 degrees here at the moment in Holland and I'm totally non-productive. Though I canned resist posting this one.

Stitch

At the moment I'm reading a book from Rupert Sheldrake. He really wrote some interesting things. And that's what this illustration is inspired by. This is about a man with an amputated finger which he preserved in a pot in a heated cellar. One day he felt a dreadful cold in his absent finger. The doctor told the man to take a look at the pot. So what appeared: the window near the pot in the cellar had been broken. As soon as the finger was taken to a warm place the pain in his missing finger disappeared.
This tells me that things that were once connected to each other continue to influence each other on a distance even after the material contact has been broken. Well anyway, this is what can happen when bodyparts cannot be stitched together again.

Little Things

Zoo

Well I finished this one just in time...phew

Pollution on a large scale

Seems like I´ve been suffering from insomnia and a paintersblock lately and I can tell you that´s a bad combination. But after a few weeks off and a short sabbatical in beautiful Wales I couldn´t find any excuses anymore not to come up with something new.

For creating this image I used some images and new techniques from the amazing book Creative Photoshop from Derek Lea.

Open

Open your heart? And what if somebody rips it out...
