Tsatare's Theme

Days, days...In the visible distance, shine as flame and voice. Fearless. Your hands have been like this since that distant morning. Days. And fate? Stay on the road. This bridge crosses two rivers. Fate is another legend...

I hope to publish another post in one or two days. It will be the last post from my "Twin Series". What's coming next? I definitely don't know. But I've been thinking in something darker, I must say... Well, you'll have to wait and see. For now, enjoy this little double enigma. HA! I think right now, this one is my favorite.

Garden Stormgod

Garden Stormgod

Who cares if we are not forever? Who would plant where nothing grows? There are so many hours in half a life and still a life is short. It's not a ghost what you see at night. And it's not the sun, that silent heat. Just another turn of the Earth. Elliptically complete. All is youth and strenght. For the world is just born. Why did we open our eyes? The traveller names his way...

I always wanted to create an image that seems incomplete (part blank). I like the effect and this is one of my favorites now. A nice combination of black/white and colors.

I had a crash in my computer and that's because this post is late. Now it is OK, so I hope to publish another post as soon as possible.

Summerlands

Summerlands

The ground rises up until it touches our feet
And so we walk to find the ghosts of the summer
Our senses tormented by the sound of the sun
Like larvae of ourselves and children of dead men
In valleys of green fire

Here we have another strange pair. These twins came from an old picture taken a long time ago.Now I decide to use parts of it to create this two flowing (or floating) images. Somehow they remembered me an old collection of illustrated books I used to read when I was young. Together they were a kind of Encyclopedia with thousands of images and historical notes, from the "cavemen" to the conquest of the moon. Cool! Of course the illustrations were as different from these as a 'hypercube' from a rabbit, what makes we all think: "What the fuck has it to do with this post?".

PS.: The words in this post came out from an old poem I wrote some years ago to use as lyrics to a song. Of course I never get to write a song as weird as this words.I wonder what I was thinking...

The Purpose of Bravery

The Purpose of Bravery

You must hide yourself away. Here they come. The smiling killers. The kidnappers of your chances. The warriors of truth. The right/wrong officers. The sellers of general explanations. Stalking. Always talking. Never stopping. Whispering spells of sympathy. Examining. Analysing. Dancing the dance. Chanting chants. The grey traitors. The well behaved lifetakers. The inoffensive and good and old offenders. The trespassers. Crawling the carpets. Closing the curtains. Sitting. Eating. Never leaving. Don´t talk to them. Don´t rise your look. Walk faster. You can't go home. They pass through your garden. Scratching the window. The reasonable liars. Choosing the chosen. Methodologically prepared to be our contrary. Here they come. Must we go back? Or should we face them and then defy them and then defeat them and then show them how we are ready and strong at spirit? Show not a fear you don´t have. We'll all disappear someday. Make them know you. Make them remember. Stronger today. It's time to do a braver thing.

Doppelgänger

Doppelgänger


What are you?
Drawing in shadows
Reflected demon
Walking behind me in nights and summers
In a silent brotherhood we exist
What are you if not me?
There are days when we fight the unquiet battle
And then come days of secret escapes
We stand to watch the same and constant procession of moments
I stop and taste the road and then go back but still I'm there
Your footprints are mine
Brother in the infant days
One will be two
The first
And again the first
For two are one
Doubling me
What are you?
And wich of us has this life?
Am I the ghost of you?
For if I see you I'll Know I'm dead

I chose "Seventh September" and "Minus Seven" to start my 'Twin Series'. They are like variations on a main theme. I thought of their names when I accidentally found an article or something like a list of persons who have numbers as names. (At least this time I am able to explain the image titles. Obviously, if you consider this an explanation)

Nonvanishing Twin Syndrome

Nonvanishing Twin Syndrome

This week I'll be starting a new sequence of posts. I like to call it "The Twin Series". Two images in one post. Two visions . Two angles. Two versions. Like in legends of 'evil twins', here we'll see a brotherhood in dissonance and yet in a subtle harmony. Sometimes it looks like you have two answers for the same question. Sometimes both are wrong. Sometimes both are right. So here I reveal this unidentical twin images . I think each one has its meaning and together, somehow, they work. Or maybe not.

Carve The Sky

Carve The Sky


To fly the wind
To burn the earth
And carve the sky.
















Subjective words to an objective image.
Maybe the most objective I've posted here.
Few words today, friends. Just feeling tired.

C'est Maintenant le Jour

C'est Maintenant le Jour

Let me see once more

From this rusty cell
I built from thoughts

That quiescent roads

And tired rivers

For now is the day

And tonight expects to be the night

When their faces come at mind

To haunt our hearts

And defeat with calm

Each and every one

Of our chances to believe

That we are truly alive

. . .

. .

.

This is called "Jour". I took the original photo from my room. I think there are days when we really want to see an unexpected thing (like this one here) when we open the window. But instead , the most of times, we just see the same old colours and shapes. What? A little LSD would help? Ha! Maybe "one of these days"...

Not Given Us To Know

Not Given Us To Know

Somethings are not given us to know.

Now, the strangest thing is that our whole lives can be driven by, motivated by or based on such things and on the will to know what we can't. And if you ask me what's the reason I'll say: the reason is not given us to know.

.

. .

. . .

I call this one "L'entité Cinq" ( the reason it's not...). Isn't it strange how, sometimes, some familiar places, people and objects suddenly seem quite different when viewed in different moments? Well, after all, is that not what life is about? Changing points of view? ...Whatever. An ordinary photo, in principle. I just made some changes in lights and darks . Again :"the simpler, the better". And I like the final result very much.

Rust Cleansing

Rust Cleansing

Well. well. well....Look who's back in action. After all this time...No, I was not in a deep coma! In fact I was just preparing new material and almost killing myself in the university. "Now I'm here, now I'm there"...Anyway, from now on I'll try to make the blog... let's say... weekly updated. Allright, allright, I know many of you don't believe me but I promise I'll try hard to keep an regular interval bettween the posts. You may think writing these posts it's not a big deal and it should not be a problem, however writing that few lines it's more difficult to me than making the artwork ! It sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? I don't know , maybe I'm only trying to maintain a "standard", if I can say so, in this blog. So if I think a text or image it's not ok I'll always rather not to post it. Maybe it's one of the reason why my posts are not regular. Maybe not. Who knows? I sure don't. Well, forget it! "Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends!" and remember: an opaque destination awaits us...

Some notes:
- Now I use Photoshop 9 CS2 ( I got the power! )
- I currently have a "serious" job as a Designer ( they even pay me!!!! Ha!)
- Check out our brand new blog Mucicaltopsy at http://www.musicaltopsy.blogspot.com featuring old and new album reviews covering metal, progressive rock, and including some of our favorites artists and bands as well as relevant notes on music in all its aspects.
-See some of these images in my first youtube video introducing my musical one man project Transfinite ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-gWpZH7t38) . Not a video clip. Just a visual background for the song "End/Credits". Hope I can release the whole album someday HAHA! I'm kidding. The songs are really close to be finished and I plan to release the songs this month ( I'm serious!!!). Wait and see, I mean, hear...
