In Memory, tattooed white menace by Arletta

In Memory by Arletta

In Memory by 

Hey Joe, your mama weren’t home but the lights were on
A distant cloud clanged by with thunderous melody
Deep purple fell from the sky, raining down a dream
And, we all had to hide in our little yellow submarines
Oh death, where hast thou taken me, through love
Oh brother, where art thou , now cries the wind
Well, I’m standing next to a mountain, give me shelter
Brown sugar, just like I knew you would, in the ghetto
Give me shelter, and a little tea and sympathy
As we watch tears, and red balloons, go by
(If you behave, maybe I’ll put it on a t-shirt, later! )
Music:
Though, not necessarily in that order!
You know, I just realized that Jimi Hendrix had wonderul posture! Which is odd, considering many guitarists claim that you HAVE to have bad posture to be good! lol I guess you don’t need it to be friggin’ phenomenal, though, so straighten up boys!
I also realized, even officially, that is on books and records and such, there is at least three ways to spell Jimmy, Jimmie, Jimi’s name and it’s no wonder I get confuzzled!
MUSICAL ART PEOPLE: There is a musical instrument, musical notes, and a musical man, and a poem regarding musical history. Deal!
Other people: learn the definition of homage, and “not what it seems” because this is not who you think it is, or about whom you think it is. The variety of music should give you a clue. This is a pile of digitalized paint which is my memory, my feelings, and of my originality.

    Woo Woo Woo- Most AWESOMENESS- I think Jimi would approve xxxx
  • lol It’s all your fault, you know? Well, except for what is his. I mean, I keep running into your t-shirt of him- or the print version of same. It’s very inspirational! Only, as you see, yours is monochrome and mine is .. insane? lol
     – Arletta
  • PS: I am pretty sure at some point in his life, Jimi not only approved, but, he saw it crawling across his ceiling, being escorted by purple dwarves!

tattooed white menace by 

I would have named it tattooed white trash, but, the model might have gotten offended, and my sister would have wondered why he is living in her bathroom cabinet.
However, it is a tattooed person, and it is a “tattooed” image, in that it is layered up the yin-yang; and the person is white; and, obviously, part of the image is white; and, no, the person is not trash, but as he rides motorbikes and is tattooed and pierced – well, some people might see him that way, you know?; and, the background is a leftover from the Speed On digital paintings, so, it is, technically, trash ..
This is, of course, of my favorite (Scots)man, in one of my not-s0-favorite poses or his, due to, in the photograph, him being seated next to a thin blonde lady. lol But, we can’t have everything, now, can we?
Uhm .. . can we?

    who/what is this an homage to? I don’t see it in this description.
  • Sorry, I thought it would be obvious by the description
    1) “white trash” people
    2) tattooed people
    3) pierced people
    4) One particular Scotsman
    5) Bikers
    6) The Scottish, in general
    7) Weird people
     
    It is a celebration of all of those things/peoples
     – Arletta
  • Oh, and even though it doesn’t say so directly:
     
    8) Disabled persons who keep on going anyway!
     
    The model was partially paralyzed and often too ill to get out of bed, and the photo was taken when he won a contest, dream date with a brolly girl
     – Arletta
  • Let’s Pay Homage
     
    This is a group where we pay homage. We pay homage to people, and places in time. We pay homage to everything you can possibly imagine. Let’s Pay Homage!
     
    That’s what your group says. I told you several different kinds of people, one particular person, and a few lifestyles that it paid homage to! It was possible, I imagined it, and then I did it.
     
    Why wasn’t it accepted?
     – Arletta
  • And, your group also says this: If you love it and you think it needs to have an homage payed to it then make it and submit it. Let’s Pay Homage!
     
    Well, I love him and I think he needs homage paid to him; and I love disabled people that still make themselves counted; and I love bikers, and I love the Scottish – the ones I’ve known in my life.
     
    So, I guess what you really mean is if you find it socially acceptable, I can pay homage to it?

    Great work as always Arletta- This is the sigh Scottish gentleman then- looking good xx
  • lol Yes, yes it is .. him .. and him looking good. Just heard from him the other day. I thought he’d been reading his emails,but, as it turns out he wasn’t, so he told me he’s finally home and to give him a few days to sort his head out and read up on them. It’s been 53 hours, approximately, since he said that. lol Oh, I’ve got it bad!

    greeeeeeat work Arletta I pay homage to it and U !! I feel we are soul sisters in our thinking!
  • Hahha! If you’re thinking about him, what I think about him, I’m going to slap you! lol No, I know that’s not what you meant. Just struck me as funny, because of what I was thinking right before I read this.
     
    Thank you very much!

    You didn’t need to rant. I group rules clearly state that you have to explain HOW it is an homage and what to in the description and I didn’t see that. If you would like to resubmit with what you’ve just told me in the description then we’d be happy to have it.
  • No, that’s alright. I haven’t the time or energy to craft every description to fit the exact wording style required by each group a piece might fit into. I thought the description should have been quite adequate, based on the rules I read, and what I said.
     
    Guess I was wrong, in which case I’ll be continuing to be wrong every other time, too; so, no point.
     
    Thank you for the explanation though.

    I didn’t say anything here about finding anything not socially acceptable. Where did you see that? I’m sorry if I made you feel that way.
  • To be honest, at least part of it is simply because there are so many groups on here where the hosts play these little tricks – only featuring fellow countrymen or good friends, refusing to accept the works of people who live lifestyles they don’t approve of or who they personally don’t like the looks of – combined with the fact that I thought I did a fairly good job of bringing up the bit about it being about so called “white trash” – that I sort of got the impression that this was just more of the same old, same old.
     
    Obviously it is not, just; because none of those people ever pop by to explain a thing when they get that way.

    Ps it has already been declined before I asked you the question. We would prefer it if you write it in the description and resubmit.

    You are counting hours lol ? Oh dear, at least its not minutes (then I would be worried) xx
  • lol Well, I wasn’t, at first, but, it so happens I noticed that AOL was .. because it’s on my AIM account. I was trying to remember what I said to him, on one subject, and to decide, in the cold clear light of day, if I should be embarrassed or what, and it just so happens that it said something about 28 hours and some odd minutes and I thought to myself “Well, there’s one of the few days gone by.”
     
    Which, of course, means I noticed when it got to be around the same time this morning … bleh!
     
    I just want to forget about it, until I hear from him or I don’t. No point in counting hours, as a few days could mean most anything. lol Especially as, and here is where I learned my lesson, even if he took two months, it might be that he’s back in the darned hospital again!
     – Arletta
  • Now I’m counting days. 4 days! Mostly, I’m just proud of myself that I have not given in and written to him. For, this time, it is that he writes to me or we never hear from each other again. That’s one of the things I really hate, is when you find yourself always being the initiator of contact, for whatever reason. There are very few people who have an excuse to leave someone in that position.
     
    Like, obviously, children of divorced parents might be in it, and maybe prisoners who don’t know your address. Everybody else better darned well put some effort in. lol

    Anita Inverarityover 2 years ago
    Ah 4 days- not long really, but a lifetime sometimes xxx
  • Probably not long to him! Probably, if I was busy, it wouldn’t be that long to me. It’s the fact that I’ve been purposely not writing to him that frays the nerves so quickly lol
