About this image Tony took this image more than 40 years ago when he was stationed in Korea. These are abandoned children in an orphanage. Their fathers were probably American soldiers and nobody wanted them.
Tony has worked on this image many times of the past years. In this version he has removed much of the detail and what you are left with is the haunting expression on the faces of these children. Holding onto the barbed wire is very natural to them. This is
Techno-Impressionism at it's finest. A blending of technology and art to make something that is a like a painting done using virtual media. It certainly is interesting.'
Musings of a muse This is a guest musing written by
Amy Tzall. Amy is a lady that I love very much. She is one of sweetest, kindest and most gentle people I know. She is my cousin.
"Just some random thoughts after what has happened this week:
After reading about the Holocaust, the bravery of those who were condemned by a mad man, to hear what is going on in the middle east and then to see what happens here in a quiet community to innocent people--I think the world is going insane!!
I was crying inside when I read the stories of courage at Virginia Tech and then I turn the page in my local paper and I read about more senseless violence. If we could only do away with all the guns and ammo in the world and try to reach everyone with love, maybe it could work.
First we have to learn that fighting amongst ourselves does not help. That goes for everyone everywhere--whether it is politicians or religious people.
Buffalo Springfield had it right--
Come on people now smile on your brother, everybody get together and try to love one another right now. (I feel like we are living the 60's again) So many of those songs are ringing true now.
We are all humans--that is all that matters! We all bleed the same color.
We need to stay out of other countries politics and not try to force something on them that they do not want--they can't even live with each other--for that matter we can't either with all the stupid gang crap that goes on. There is no right or wrong."
