When Do You Want to Know a Secret?
As the Bush-Cheney administration packs up to leave the White House in January '09, they're tucking many heinous secrets into their saddlebags and hoping to hide their deepest flaws from the public and from other interested parties.
Here you see a drawing from my Cosmic Persona Designs collection, Secret Gazer, which asks a certain question of you:
Do you want to know a secret?
Dreamyfish Art for portraits of certain tropical fish of Western Australia...some may be pretty shady characters like the False senator wrasse, a varmint if there ever was one.
If you like the infrequent and possibly groanworthy rhyme (perhaps of the limerick persuasion), try Lim's Limericks as dictated by Mr.A. Cat and his cohort, Lim, my chef and roommate. I'm merely the blog's typist and would-be editor and contributor.
Who knew cats could be so political? But as Lim often says, just because you have no interest in Politics, doesn't mean Politics isn't interested in you.
Wise words worth remembering. So don't think you're well-out. For you're not.
Mr.A.Cat, Esq., it may now be told, is a former agent in service to our nation. In a word, a spycat, as we may murmur in private company. 'Nuff said.
Actually, you, Lone Reader, may prefer Politics through the lens of Astrology for a peek under the hoods of political hoods...if so, visit:
Stars Over Washington
or
Jude's Threshold, a tapestry blog that loosely weaves Art, Astrology, Politics, and sometimes a smidge of Poetry into a brocade of creativity by this, your reluctant astrologer and lifelong artist, Jude Cowell.
~>And that's pronounced Coh' wull, not Cow' as in moo-cow or Simon. Thank you for understanding!

A Large Disappointed Audience
Here is a full view of A Large Disappointed Audience, a drawing in honor of the Sabian Symbol for '28 Aries.'
In his book, The Sabian Symbols in Astrology, Dr. Marc Edmund Jones gives this degree as...
To which I would add: the show must go on!

In his book, The Sabian Symbols in Astrology, Dr. Marc Edmund Jones gives this degree as...
...the transiency of the rewards in a life taken too literally and narrowly in its more superficial terms. Implicit in the reversed symbolism is the disillusionment that comes when an individual learns that he cannot depend on the applause of his fellows, or make the momentary mood of the masses any proper guide for the values he should pursue.
There is here the call to a selfhood which can rest secure in its own creative potentiality, catering to nothing exterior to itself.
The keyword is: DISJUNCTION...
positive manifestation: complete spiritual independence;
negative/unconscious/shadow side: a destructive assimilation of the self to every defeat or frustration of human kind.
To which I would add: the show must go on!

Circular Paths of an Unscene World
Circular Paths of an Unscene World, drawing by jude cowell 2008.
'Circular Paths' may refer to Astrology which is the observation and study of planetary orbits and cycles - as well as to labyrinths, of course. Actually, the entire sign of Capricorn is said to be a labyrinth, all 30 degrees of the mer-goat's sign.
Unscene World is an imprint I began in 1996 as black paper took over my drafting table and celestial themes became prominent...and I've never, as they say, looked back!
They also say that black paper gives depth and a spiritual quality you cannot achieve on white or light paper, and I must agree with them.
Here's an example of my early black paper art, Timeless Path, a drawing which won a Merit Award at one of the Olympic Games art venues in Atlanta, GA, summer 1996.
Timeless Path is appr 18"x24" (and was sold before the exhibition opened!) but these days my renderings are small enough to fit a scanner bed so that they may be easily published online for downloading and such, though sometimes I do miss working in a larger format.
My Favorite Pencils: Prismacolor oils, Rexel Derwent watercolours, and a few Spectracolor oils left over from the 90s. The Spectracolor brand, last I knew, was discontinued which for my purposes is a sad state of affairs.
(In fact, I remain to this day in quite a snit of miffdom over it.)
Watercolour pencils are used dry only although you could dampen them if you prefer. Anyone who is proficient or masterly with watercolour painting is a very admirable artist for that's one media I never managed to master even a little bit.
So if you, dear viewer, are good with wet watercolours, kudos aplenty go to you!

Golden Chanterelles and new art too!
Golden Chanterelles, drawing by Jude Cowell 2008.
Announcing: Art images are now on display within the Jude Cowell Art Boutique @zazzle.com and are suitable as Wall Posters.
One image, a drawing titled, The Orator, is from Cosmic Persona Designs, a collection of drawings for viewers over the 17+ age range because some of the images may involve what I call Chiffonery Art that is sometimes tagged as "sexy-fun."
There are no photos at all. Only Art. Drawings on paper. Quite harmless really.
