“Do what you have to. Conventionally, I’d ask, are your tools sterilized? I won’t. Thing is, I worked hard to get here and it occurred to me, why are birds so conniving and ill-mannered? I like your Balaclava”

“I like your Balaclavaβ – If you want to get ahead, get a hat π
Makes me think of Le Petit Prince. An adult one of the places he visits. I want to make his between eye relax.
A conversation had at the Mad Hatter’s tea party? Sublimely brilliant, Arjun!
Ha Ha, this was bourbon assisted 3 am pulp!
I like!
We’ve known each other for 8 months now.
An old couple…. I just wish you wouldn’t fart in bed π
You should know, I’m mostly on liquid diet, Burrp!
π
I have no idea what this is about. Give us a hint.
Ok good. I am not the only clueless one… π

Arjun, that’s two of us.
Just a scribble of random thoughts from the dead man’s point of view, one who’s being sculpted.
In fact, if you take a look at the picture, I believe you can come up with a better thought than mine.
Have a nice day, Yisraela.
Frankly when I put my hand over the upper part of his face and then the lower part of his face… I kept thinking and feeling this… SERIOUSLY DARLING… THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE TELLING ME? YA KNOW i AM SO BORED WITH THIS RIGHT NOW. TAKE YOU PRETTY LITTLE SELF OUT OF HERE π

Thank you for clarifying what the word meant. Never heard it before.
Outstanding. Not just as a picture story but it speaks of who you are as a person.
Shave and a haircut, two bits!
Must have been interesting for you to meet many barbers on your frequent travels though in he profile pictures it seems you eventually gave up. What happened?
I was a hippie for many years, at least in appearance. Then I got tired of having hair long enough to tuck in my trousers, and got it styled. But Mother Nature came along, cleared the forest somewhat, and anything but the close-cropped look, which I can do myself, emphasizes the baldness atop my pate.
Now I like it, much as I expected. Thank you Greg!
Γ¬the intensity-almost a fixity extreme-gaze that seems to pierce the video is shocking
Yes. Interesting oddity. He has a stiff smile, nervous forehead, devoted eyes. Maybe his ear job is still unfinished so slightly edgy, I think.
Great head. Who is the Artist, who is the head? And, Arjun, nice text.
I don’t know the artist nor the head. Just came across this place during my travel. Emotive head and they both seem to be in a meditative conversation. I imagine something similar when you create art pieces. Do you talk to them?
Ill mannered birds.. . through doing what’s natural they make such a statement without even knowing …. What a wonderfully sculpted face Arjun, … that look of … serenity?.. nope.. can’t quite put my finger on it, …. Great capture though, …and seems as if you’ve created many questions now needing answers… The Face looks familiar, but then not… and the balaclava? . I now want one . π xPenx
Birds are naughty and they love to poke us. They fly away if you step closer not just cause they’re afraid, they tease us. I feed them in my house and they trouble me. I have to change water for their drinking, thrice a day. They bring odd stuff, bones especially, clean it in the container, then take a bite, don’t like it, drop it in, for me to clean. In summers, I have to fill it ten times in a day. They use it as bathtub. That’s fun to watch.
they are a treat to watch, I have a bird table, two layered, . with a little holding square for a porcelain dish of water,… . Wood Pigeons, Black Birds Robins etc.. all come and it’s absorbing to watch them .. Feathered friends, who must look on us as constant feeders, yet something not of their flight-ed world… Just bought a bird bath, with a little frog who spouts water via a solar panel, looks as if he’s being sick !!! … but as yet, no birds have bathed….
Cough is infectious π or maybe a sign. Pets develop a pattern similar to their owner.

The conversation with God at judgement? I’m trying to work in the posthumous–after-death, and the image. I am wondering if I need to know WHO is depicted in the sculpture.
I thought that the maker used the clay to make and at death has unmade, simple.
Conversation with his maker.
I don’t know who the guy is, must be a politician, well known personality hence his statue, that’s the assumption and I prefer the anonymity to write his thoughts, at least here.
It’s an ordinary picture but has a vibe..
I just want to play in the clay before it’s too hard. I had a dream last night of taking the tool and unmaking it, getting him just right and then removing his skin to see the muscles and ligaments and then bone, backwarder and backwarder…
Do this. Look at his face, then cover his upper face with your hand and look, then shift your hand down.You’ll notice a play of nuances.
hehehe i keep coming back and doing that
and now I want tootsie rolls too
reminds me of ‘plastic’ chocolate that I used to make roses and chocolate boxes
a thought-filled image and always there will be birds to make us remember to see.
True. We should learn from them. I recently read a news article, birds are quitting city life, much smarter than us.
I am fortunate I can avoid cities at all costs! but never the birds! the small towns nearby are busy enough for me with their tourists and noise! always I choose to be away from it all!
Solitude is your muse, I had a sort of feeling.
Happy for you, pray for me!
I shall. you are in a very large city, no?
Very large and chaotic, Mumbai but my house is facing the sea and I’m retired so I hardly step out of my neighborhood.
my son was recently in an american high rise hotel in mumbai overlooking appalling poverty below. the dichotomy was extreme, to say the least. he was very upset by it and yet, he was inspired. i could not have endured what he described but it is life.
i am glad you face the sea, that is healing and blesses. namaste~
Exactly. That’s Mumbai. A city of two tales. Thank you for coming by.
Have a nice day!
It sailed over my head (not that unusual) but once I read your comment struck me funny. The photo is a bit surreal.
I agree. Sometimes the post is about nothing and the comments makes it special π
Sin Duda Un Gran Trabajo, El Del Arista Dando Formas… Y El Del Fotografo Mostando su Trabajo, Una Gran Captura… Saludos.
Is it prying if I ask why you are on a liquid diet?
I overdo it, that’s bad. I love it and I want to moderate. I’m a different guy under the influence, so romantic, so child-like, so pretty pretty, ask the mirror if you don’t trust me, though the world thinks otherwise π
I got no other vice………..anymore. That’s it.
I hope it will not be your only muse … you are good!!!
You’ve hit the nail. That’s the problem and it’s his problem. I’ve given up. I’m cute afterwards, trust on that! π
his? God’s? To tell you the truth, the imaginative little girl in me first read interpreted your liquid diet as a bunch of healthy juices and fatless soups that very ill or very fat people do….. and I was worried you might be sick :p
Ah, right, of course…I have an adorable beer belly. No other issues yet π
God it is. That is another theory of who he is for me. I believe he never came on earth in flesh and blood. Some other time we’ll catch up with that.
You seem very sure and passionate in this claim…. Some other time it will be then π
