My druthers? A Green Valley for all!

This simple drawing Green Valley is meant for all who long for peace and rest during these troubling times...a quiet place with a little greenery from me to you!

A Cosmic Lilith Art Calendar 2011!

Look! It's Bebe who has wafted into Secret Moon Art today just to tout her pin-up status in my new Cosmic Lilith Art Calendar 2011 of fanciful figure studies!

Bebe Blushing is her full name - well, her portrait's name - and I hope you'll check out Miss January 2011 and the rest of the months' portraits, too.

Here's a direct link that will whisk you away to view the Cosmic Lilith Art Calendar 2011 where my 12 ladies representing the glamorous side of the Lilith archetype await your visit!

Art Note: 'fanciful figure studies' refers to my adult-themed artwork which I consider suitable viewing for age 17+ only. View more @ Cosmic Persona Designs, if you dare.

This is something new to try: posting the image of my newest Art Poster @ Zazzle created from my paper collage, Liberty Cries.

Please pardon all the links you see here for they 'came along' with the image code!

And the reason it says 'cowelljude' is that Zazzle insisted that 'judecowell' and other forms of my name were already taken when I set up my Zazzle Art Shop in 2009.

So be it. Maybe I'll run into me one day...

Comet McNaught and Comet Skies - June 2010

Comet Skies, a drawing by Jude Cowell (c) 2010 and beyond...

If you've ever noticed within yourself an interest in comets and their timely arrivals (and who hasn't?) then mid-June 2010 is the perfect time to look up to catch a cameo appearance by none other than Comet McNaught, a recently noticed green fuzzball now approaching Earth's little patch of the solar system!

Journey to Neptune, says a Red fairy basslet

Journey to Neptune, a Cosmic Art drawing for you by Jude Cowell.

In mind of April's BP oil fiasco under the Neptunian waters of the Gulf of Mexico, here floating past Secret Moon Art in solidarity with his marine brethren, is a small Red fairy basslet who tells me he's hoping you might check out a newly created spinning Art Cube, this time featuring six of my Dreamyfish Art portraits of tropical fish from Western Australia.



And you know my Dreamyfish Art blog always keeps a Marine News feed in its sidebar which is useful for Gulf Coast and other environmental news and issues.

Now let's Save our Gulf Coast waters and beaches and the threatened marine creatures therein!

A little Jimson weed blooming in moonlight?

Here's a detail from my botanical interpretation of a lovely sprig of Jimson weed blooming in moonlight and you may view the drawing in its entirety @ 2 Hours if you wish.

For if you're anything like me, you so love purple flowers of any hue!

A Dreamyfish Art film short 'The BP oil spill: a fish's plea'

Presenting to you my new '8mm film short' of Dreamyfish Art denizens sending a message to their 'Gulf Coast cousins' concerning the scar that is the BP-Gulf oil spill of April 20, 2010.

And no one seems to know how to begin to cure it. Committee meetings shall be held in Washington so we know it's a point of discussion there but the sea is way too deep. Therefore, conclusions leading to actions may be politically tentative and risky but who knows the consequences of action until you try?

And yet...things feel...fishy. In more ways than one. Because...

If this entire Capitol Hill charade with BP, Transocean, and Halliburton execs (lined up like little penguins quacking out of both sides of their bills about how they don't-know-can't-say-wait-and-see) is really about BP filing for bankruptcy and skirting their responsibilities while making off like racoons, then I, for one, will be very very cross...no, enraged to the point of complete snitdom at the oil industry's craven audacity.

If this sounds as if I jest, I do not. If it seems so, perhaps I misspoke. There's a bunch of that going around these days especially in DC where its cover first hooded a politician's tongue.

Well, at least there's a smidgen of Art around to keep me calm, right?

With out Art and my love of Drawing I'd go batty with all the Astrology and Politics I attempt to follow and blog about almost every day.

But never mind that now. Time to dog paddle over to Dreamyfish Art if you find you're developing a yen to view additional botanical fish portraits of South Australian fish (with their botanical names) as my pencils have pictured them within the imaginary scenery of their more colorful dreams.

Because fish dream, too, you know! But never do they dream of oil spills.

Fashion Stalks Jungle!

In similar fashion to 'man bites dog' here is Fashion Stalks Jungle, a drawing originating from the now-shuttered Cosmic Persona Designs gallery and now appearing withn my Secret Moon Art collection:

Path to an Ancient Temple

Path to an Ancient Temple is a noble republish of one of my jungle-y drawings from about 3 years ago. This image puts me in mind of a similar illustration I've used to represent the last degree of Pisces where Jupiter and Uranus must soon tarry a moment before conjoining the Aries Point (00Ari00:00) in tandem @ 00Ari18 on June 8, 2010. This grand rendevous of Jupiter and Uranus @ AP may bring the world some kind of new wonderment! Even new, enthralling insights into Astrology or Religion are potentials. '30 Pisces' = "The Great Stone Face"... Quoting in part from Marc Edmund Jones' book, The Sabian Symbols in Astrology (my bold): Each individual selects the image within himself to which he would shape himself outwardly, and this he comes to resemble as in Nathaniel Hawthorne's tale. Destiny is character as it most persistently constitutes itself. Keyword: DISCERNMENT; positive expression: self-integrity in its irresistible impact on the course of events; negative/unconscious/shadow side: wholly inarticulate and ineffectual self-realization. Whenever Uranus reaches AP during the erratic planet's 84-year cycle, society experiences scientific breakthroughs in areas such as Bio-Genetics, Electronics, Technology, Space or Oceanic Explorations, or other fields where Uranian innovation is the key to progress. You may have already heard of some such in the news recently as mankind steps out boldly once again whether he knows where his new direction will ultimately lead...or not. (He doesn't, actually.) Finding one's genetic roots and cloning are hot topics appearing in more and more TV and film tales so hold on to your DNA for we may have monstrous creations of the Frankensteinian kind announced or thrust upon society this year. But you know how I feel about these things: just because Science can doesn't mean it should. ~:~ You may enjoy viewing a similar drawing of the Great Lichen Forest with Fairy!
