Lhasa de Sela
.

.

Lhasa was an American-born singer-songwriter who
died of breast cancer on the evening of January 1,
2010. She was only 37 years old. I really loved
her deep voice, her meaningful words, her
intensity and her sensual rhythm, search
her music on You Tube... We lost a
great and talented soul. RIP :(

Andy Warhol

.

.
This is my portrait of the famous American Pop artist.
The hole in his torso symbolizes the way he survived
from an attempted assassination in 1968. Warhol was
seriously wounded by the attack and barely survived.
He suffered physical effects for the rest of his life. The
shooting had a profound effect on Warhol's life and art.

.

More than 100 artists have participated in this project.

The book is available at THIS LINK and you can preview it HERE

This book contains drawings, paintings, cartoons, digital art and poems admirers, artists and fans have made and dedicated to Michael Jackson, a man who inspired so many people all over the world to make a real difference. (One of my MJ portrait is on the cover and the 3 other ones I made are also in the book.)

This is a charity project, by buying this book, you will donate money to Mappa Mondo, a children’s hospice from the Red Cross in the Netherlands. Mappa Mondo is a house for children who suffer severe chronic diseases. The vision of Mappa Mondo is that children have the right to a safe environment, a home where they can play, learn, laugh and cry. Every child is unique and needs warmth, support, physical safety and homeliness.

------------

The whole project became a reality thanks to the efforts of Anne Peters, an artist from Eindhoven (The Netherlands), born in 1982. She is a photographer and digital painter, please visit her website for more information: www.conquista-online.com

Through the
Wind’s Trance

By Peter S. Quinn

Here are the lost waves
Reaching to the shore
With the invisible craves
With what each man is for
Rasping the sands time sea
From nocturnal struggle
Forever in the night to be
As a performing obstacle

Penetrating every silence
From lost indistinct rise
Through the wind's trance
The hidden - in its disguise
Innumerable bizarre so pure
The seeds from buried earth
That to the people will lure
To give their missing - its birth

Hear the voice of the land
That chooses roots to be born
Invincible waves to understand
Between each contrasts it's torn
Circulating the current song
From numerous convey of hope
To struggle and rises so strong
Of succeeding newborn zest lope
.
