This is my entry for the Digital Whisper100 themes challenge #90 (Alley). Really switching to a darker more urban feel in this piece with the lonely urban warrior caught up in his concrete landscape. Imagery from Vintage Blog, Lorie Davison at scrapbookgraphics and artist papers from Tim holtz.
This is just fabulous Lori!! You have captured the feeling perfectly!!

Lori, this is a striking image, great digital work.
ReplyDeleteWhat stunning pieces of digital art!
ReplyDeleteAmazing imagination. Beautiful & well blended picture.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I missed this one. It reminds me so much of a portion of the famous statement of Chief Seattle, which follows:
ReplyDelete"Even the rocks that seem to lie dumb as they swelter in the sun along the silent seashore in solemn grandeur thrill with memories of past events connected with the fate of my people, and the very dust under your feet responds more lovingly to our footsteps than to yours, because it is the ashes of our ancestors, and our bare feet are conscious of the sympathetic touch, for the soil is rich with the life of our kindred.
"The sable braves, and fond mothers, and glad-hearted maidens, and the little children who lived and rejoiced here, and whose very names are now forgotten, still love these solitudes, and their deep fastness at eventide grow shadowy with the presence of dusky spirits. And when the last red man shall have perished from the earth and his memory among white men shall have become a myth, these shores shall swarm with the invisible dead of my tribe, and when your children's children shall think themselves alone in the field, the store, the shop, upon the highway or in the silence of the woods, they will not be alone. In all the earth there is no place dedicated to solitude. At night, when the streets of your cities and villages shall be silent, and you think them deserted, they will throng with the returning hosts that once filled and still love this beautiful land. The white man will never be alone. Let him be just and deal kindly with my people, for the dead are not altogether powerless."
This is so powerful. I just got here and so glad you left a comment cause otherwise I probably would have missed these!!
ReplyDeleteExceptional creations!!!
ps........ now I am following!!!
ReplyDeleteReally powerful, Lori, I appreciate the thought put into your concept. In my worklife I deal with these "Urban Warriors" every day and you have captured it so well.
ReplyDeletejust fantastic digital art..you have captured the essence of the theme beautifully..
ReplyDeleteWhat a powerful statement you've made Lori! This is elegant and tragic, yet the face of your warrior is strong and determined. An amamzing, poetic piece!
