All the paintings I did for my senior thesis in one post. I have mixed feeling about it and wish I had done more, but at the same time I’m ready to move onto another project.

Circles.  Cycles.

In the Hindu tradition of Tantra, the goddess Kali is invoked in moments where the world denies us or appears in chaos.  Her name translates to "time" or "death".  Her naked form evokes transparency, nature and pure form; Opposed to being clothed, hidden or disguised.  The bowl of blood (from a demon she has slain) represents suffering from wanting what we cannot have.  Kali drinks it and, within herself, transforms it into a bearable experience.  Her skirt of human arms is harvested each time we reach to hold onto something in this world.  She is a representation of pure experience, regardless of our human whims and desires.  The world as it truly is.

Chiara Bautista,

Please write a complete graphic novel.  Please.  For me.

Parallel dimensions, animal nature, guns and the cosmos.  All as metaphors for love and loss and being lost.

We experience the world through our senses.  The impressions gathered by them can be layered, forming emergent senses.  Taste is, in a way, an emergent sense, as it builds progressively on the olfactory.  We can also use our knowledge of technology to enhance our receptivity to stimulus.

Our eyes can be altered to perceive ultraviolet light.

There is also the practice of manufacturing senses like perceiving magnetism and just generally upgrading the human body.

Scenes from Ralph Bakshi's 1983 film Fire and Ice.  Gratuitous violence and nudity.  Beautiful, hand drawn backgrounds and accessible symbolism.
