"The #Death of #Innocence", 2012

Yet another old #photomanipulation and #digitalartwork that I am moving from #deviantart onto #Pixelfed. #GoodbyeDeviantart #hellopixelfed

This photomanipulation was put together with various images. Unfortunately, most of the images are no longer available to share as credits as the users profiles are no longer available.

Estate is such a weird word.

Finally closed out our volunteer gig of dissolving a veteran's estate by handing over the last bits of paperwork to the next of kin.

The old man had just under $ 10 K debt when he died. No money beyond sixty dollars in the bank. While in hospital is residence was plundered. Nobody knows what was taken.

The fate of a poor American after a lifetime of work.

"I Dreamt of Brighter Days", 2012

I continue to transition my #art from #deviantart to #Pixelfed. #AIhasDestroyedArtPlatforms such as Deviant Art for me. And unlike most other platforms, I greatly appreciate the freedom of the #Fediverse, including the lack of data collection, or the lack of algorithms dictating what we see, think or feel. #HelloPixelfed. #GoodbyeDeviantArt.

This is more of a #photomanipulation than a #digitalpainting - though there are touch ups. Originally, when I created this, it was meant to represent how I was feeling at the same, particularly during February, one of the most #depressing months. And now I reflect on how much has changed. Though I have experienced #dark days, I have also learned the value and necessity of finding meaning (i.e., finding #alifeworthliving). This can be anything from arts, nature, crafts, activities, hobbies, meditation, relationships and so on. Reflecting back on 2012, I am happy to say that life is much more bright nowadays. However, life would not be so bright without those dark days.

Should give birth to something
good and lovely." -Chinua Achebe

PlutoTV offers Top Secret as an in memoriam for Val Kilmer.

This is how I imagine it went:

"Val Kilmer died."

"Oh, we should offer a movie in his memory."

"Way ahead of ya. We can get the rights to Top Secret."

"What? That terrible movie?"

"That's the only thing we can get the rights to with our budget."

"Good grief!"

"Oh, hang on... I see here that it would be possible to get the rights to an obscure movie he played in... Two Guys, One Girl."

"It's a porno, isn't it?"

"Er... let me check... yep."

"Top Secret it is then!"

"Alright..."

(Don't get me wrong. I liked Top Secret as a kid, but I suspect I'm in the minority.)
