SWIM AWAY!One of my little friends has found a new home! That’s right, one of the 4″ x 4″ monoprints of Chastity: The Mermaid from the Psychomachia series has found a new home.
If you would like have a miniature print of Chastity (or other sins/virtues) of your very own, check out The Haggus Society FB Store, then click on Haggus Society Member Wares to find more of my little friends!
…AD NAUSEUMA couple of weeks ago, I published both the original and the final of Gluttony: The World’s Fattest Woman from the Psychomachia series. And I appreciate the feedback I received. Several people have asked if there were MORE gluttony images. There are. In fact, I finished the Gluttony piece last in the series because I just kept trying and then changing my mind.
The image at left was the second attempt–just after the circus tent piece. If you look closely, you’ll note an apple tattoo on the right hip. I thought it would be a subtle Adam & Eve reference providing the religious tie-in to the seven deadly sins. But, the longer I looked at it, the more subtle it seem to become.
So, I went back to the proverbial, read ubiquitous, drawing board–enter the ACTUAL apple. In a humorous nod to stock photography, I added a heart-shaped bite mark in the apple. I liked this piece for about 5 minutes. I trudged through other versions that were never edited, or even saved.
Sometimes I remind myself that while taking pretty pictures would be easier, I would never be at peace with a pretty picture.
GREATI am pleased to have been included in ID – The Object of Self at the Darkroom Gallery in Essex Junction, VT. Here’s a great pic of my little mermaid hanging amongst the other juried participants. Bottom right corner.

Although I still have to finish the reveals. This work reinterprets the Seven Deadly Sins and the Seven Holy Virtues in a series of 14 diptychs, one from me and one from artist Jerry Portelli. The aesthetic theme is the sideshow freak from the circus and fairs of yesteryear–nature’s artwork, if you will.
