Revolution Is In My Nameby ~NatureofMind

Traditional Art / Mixed Media

Drawn on paper, photographed, colored and textured in Photoshop.

Poem by Saul Williams

I can fade worlds in and out with my mixing patterns
letting the Earth spin as I blend in Saturn
the soul keeps the planets rocking
the beat don't stop when, soulless matter blows
into the cosmos, trying to be stars
the beat don't stop when, Earth sends out satellites
to spy on Saturnites and control Mars

I roam through the streets of downtown Venus
trying to auction off monuments of Osiris' severed penis
but they don't want no penis on Venus
for androgynous cosmology sets their spirits free

I am no Earthling, I drink moonshine on Mars
and mistake meteors for stars cause I can't hold my liquor
but I can hold my breath and ascend like wind to the black hole
and play galaxaphones on the fire escapes of your soul
blowing tunes through lunar wombs, impregnating stars
giving birth to suns, that darken the skins that skin our drums
and we be beating infinity over sacred hums
spinning funk like myrrh until Jesus comes
and Jesus comes every time we drum
and the moon drips blood and eclipses the sun
and out of darkness comes the ohmmmmm…

I love this... it's so simplistic but somehow disturbing.
I don't know... I just loved it.

I like the simplicity of this. It's very down to earth childish quality, that makes it seem almsot spiritual. I love the textures and the style especially. I read the poem as well, but I think my brain is fried from writing so much comments, cuase I thought the poem would enlighten me to the meaning of the picture, but I am now just confused. Your just trying to mess with me aren't you

. I warn you it's not that hard at this time of night

haha thankyou, it was exactly what i was going for, embracing a child hood primitive style of drawing and of what reality is (notice flowers for finger tips, and two left hands...the idea of not being able to do things *right* haha get it, oh man)

i must say the best part is the fact that it is supposed to be you...but in fact, only if you really look can you see...
i also like the background alot.

Ahahaha I was gonna comment on that.
Its a sweet drawing dude. The colors of the texture stand out but dont get in the way.
And the sun is dope
