Celebrating ColorSo, this week I thought I'd do a feature of colors since that won the poll about what I will feature next. Here are some beauties I love to celebrate all the colors of the rainbow. <3 Enjoy.

"Colors were rarer than shooting stars,
A world of black and white.
Dark was all to see near and far,
Before morning triumphed over night."

Hello again... it's been a little while..Mini Featurette:

Hello everyone!!! It's been a long while since I've done much of anything or posted anything on dA. Things have been quite rough recently, and I've been a tad down. But I'm starting to feel a little better, and I'm wanting to work on my art again.
My love for make up and photography hasn't changed much, it's just grown bigger than it was previously.

I've recently been able to purchase a nicer camera with more options.. point and shoot still, but I see it as being one step closer to owning a DSLR.

  I'm hoping that day will come sooner than later!!!
I've been dabbling in special FX and face painting a little bit.  I'm hoping that I will continue to learn and grow and eventually have my own freelance business.
Enough about me.  I look forward to uploadi

Ten random things about me:
1.  I saw my first arena rock concert when I was 10 years old.  It was David Bowie.
2.  I have a bit of an obsession with hygiene and I brush my teeth for about 20 minutes every day.
3.  I don't have any tattoos (which is relatively unusual where I come from).
4.  Originally I wanted to be a commercial pilot but I was caught so many times for reckless flying that I was deemed a flight risk by the Civil Aviation Authority and had my Private Pilot Licence revoked.
5.  I have an immunity to colds and flu viruses.
6.  I've only ever seen one episode of 'Flight of the Conchords'.  Incidentally, I'm probably goofier than Bret and Jermaine, but not quite as goofy as Murray.
7.  I collect guitars, toys, rare vinyl, and Swarovski crystal figurines.
8.  I've met some interesting people including the Foo Fighters, Ben Harpe

The grey enameled nail touches the glass, the complement of five in reversal grip the case. The grey enameled nail with its tip dipped in black accent slides and moves slow across the glimmered reflections of a bright back lit window in the glass; the complement of five in opposition spread wider under pressure. There is a draft of exhalation, the cased glass wavers. The complement of five controlled with firm intention of muscle and tendon, the flow of unblessed flesh, rise high and then descend just once and still not yet relaxed, release, remain in claw form expression. The complement of five, not dominant not equal, now set free from obligation to hold, to maintain, to supplement, to position, to re

Helen sits in the waiting room, the lighting is acceptable to her; two sources only, one a lovely green shaded brass Stiffel table lamp at the far right corner of the room, the other a single recessed fixture in the ceiling directly above the receptionist's desk. The desk is unoccupied, Helen's appointments are now always scheduled for late in the day after the middle aged forbidding woman with her grey bun wrapped hair and green business suit with the frilled white blouse has left; well after her part time hours at the bookstore her friend owns have ended. The small hooded brass desk lamp is off but the tiny green power indicator on the laser printer set on an office buffet file c

The figure is still in the unevenly lit space of the small concrete clad urban park; like so many surfaced city gathering spots it is meant only as a point for assembling and departing. She is seated, solitary at this notch in the ever advancing ticking of the universe, upon one of the formed cement and stone benches provided for the weary or infirm to rest while awaiting their cue to take their marks. The winds are tortured by the impediments to their passage that the surrounding buildings and unleaved trees, parked automobiles, post office box, street lamp posts, traffic signs, trash and recycling receptacles, and the blowing flotsam of cast off litter create. It blows hard and cold from the south east and then is channeled from several different directions to concentrate in a soft howl in this almost perfect parallelogram.

Two at a time then
One on one quiet conversation
Duets voices sweet interwoven Italian, French, English, German

First and final words of adoration made in lust to which Mary?
Secrets two and you have given up
Pas de duex ou paix de deux
Dealt push of swing set combination
Free felt handsome copulation
Swans forever holding on
A fall of two as hands lose grip
Your closed eyes as sleep let slip
Money changing hands one to another
Hands themselves sans amputation
Chambered hearts surviving lungs
What remained when Johnny not yet got his gun
Salivated tissues in embrace
Mirrored face
Two in catalog ponder numeristic our Moon
Swept together dark and ever icy white

Inside it's warm; halfway through the door and I've got the leather jacket off. I hate the lighting, it flutters and blinks at a cycle rate that my eyes, these peculiar grey eyes, and the brain linked to them, can detect the electrons reacting to the gas in the long ugly glass tubes hidden behind the diffusion plastics in the ceiling. This bar is a particularly bad place for she and I to meet. It has it's own population of regulars and is hostile territory for my type of gayness. The crowd here is composed of those who begin their daily saturation three weeks prior to any given moment. They dropped only two or so rungs on the ladder when their addictions set claws and dug into their lives; cargo handlers, truck drivers, house painters, carpenters missing a finger or two, their stories are all similarly dipped in early life f

"For the First Time" by The Script

Journal Entry: Sun Jul 1, 2012, 4:33 PM

Featuring artwork from across dA to illustrate a great song by The Script, "For the First Time"

I thought I'd celebrate my "coming back into activity on dA" with a song.

I recommend clicking here to listen to the song as you view.  There's a little dialog at the beginning, so just wait for the song to begin.  Enjoy.

She's all laid up in bed

with a broken heart,

While I'm drinking jack

all alone in my local bar,

And we don't know how,

How we got into this mad situation,

Only doing things out of frustration

Trying to make it work but man these times are hard,

She needs me now

but I can't seem to find the time,

I've got a new job now on the unemployment line,

And we don't know how, How we got into this mess

Is it god's test?

Someone help us 'cause we're doing our best,
:thumb29157349:
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard
Hard TimesHard times are coming
I can feel it
I’m holding on tightly
I still can’t believe it
I will be strong no matter what goes wrong
I promise to stand by you through it all
Remember we have been through worst
Yet we came through just fine
Hard times are coming I can feel it
I just don’t know why
Things aren’t always as they should be
I can’t blame anyone for that
All I can do is hope for the best
I have to keep going on
I’m going to keep my head high
As a mother and a wife
I need to be strong, stronger then anyone
I will be there to wipe away the tears
Through the hard times and all the fears

But we're gonna start by Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,

Just Love"Why do you love me?"

I'd asked this question countless of times before, but never seemed to understand the answer.  The answer was always different, yet it was never solid and never was reason enough for me.  Things like, "because you're beautiful" or "because you're a great mother" or the infamous "because you love me."  They all seemed obvious.  Still not good enough reasons to me.  The reason for my disbelief was given in his answer this time.

"I don't know."

At first I didn't know how to respond.  I could have been offended.  But I wasn't.  Then he continu :thumb279649734:

The Story of My Broken Heart
As I lay my ear upon his chest I hear his heart beating, thump thump. I feel like I can hear his love beating for me beneath his ribcage. Then I feel his lungs inhale, then shudder with an exhale. Something isn't right, that breath was too shuddery. I look up, and I look into his eyes. I see a tear in the corner. It runs down the bridge of his nose, I wipe it away with my thumb, and look deep in his eyes, seeing pain behind his eyes.

"What's wrong baby?" I ask him, a questioningly look in my eyes.

He shakes his head, looking away from me.

"Is it me?" I ask him, my voice cracking at the thought of the possibility.

"I just don't f

Man these times are hard,
Hard TimesMy father works alone,
crunching numbers in an empty room,
bet he feels like everything is doomed.

He must feel like he's on his own.
Working 20 years and going strong,
while everything is going wrong.

Is this the way he will live
for another 20 years? No,
it's not. He'll find a way
to overcome these fears, whoa,
believe in him.

My mother does her best
to juggle all she has to do,
with all the stress she's going through.

Sometimes, she needs a rest.
She doesn't get to sleep for long,
and everything is going wrong.

Is this the way she will live
for another 20 years? No,
it's not. She'll find a way

When I First Met YouWhen I first met you
I didn't know what to say
But when I got to know you
Everything went okay

At first we were confused
but later we found out
that we both were abused
when we really needed out

I told you how I felt
and you did the same
But look at us now
with our hearts now in tame

I wish I had told you
but I kept it a secret
That I really do love you
And you won't be a regret

Yeah.....
