Description Did you see what happened to good old "Submit Art" procedure?! Oh. All submission procedure now happens on one single page, without countless "yes" and "next" pressing. I don't know yet if I'm horrified or pleased with the change.
Anyway, I dreamt to become an acrobat since I was a little girl. My mother took me to the circus, but after she saw poor kids flying on crazy heights, she took me to dance classes instead. Dancing was also fun, but at 13 I got a serious back injury and had to forget about any profession that would imply physical stress of any kind. But I still can dream.

"There are twenty years to go
and twenty ways to know
who will wear
who will wear the hat

There are twenty years to go
the best of all i hope
enjoy the ride
the medicine show

And thems the breaks
for we designer fakes
we need to concentrate on more than meets the eye"
"20 years" -- Placebo

So differently than the most art shown here on DA.

Each time I look at my manipulations, I can only see separate pictures, glued into one. Horrible feeling. Thanks for calming me down.

I know the feeling. I think that it is bescause I saw each picture before I put them all together so I see them as seprate pictures. I love colors! dark blue and yellow go so well together. lovely job!

Oh, I thought visual preparation of my own works vwas my personal problem. I'm glad I'm not alone. Yeah, color combination turned out to look good. And I was going to make balloons blue. Thank you very much.

This is completely awesome! I love the acrobats dangling from the hot air balloons. That was a great touch. I also like how it's "darker" than most carnivals. There aren't that many colors. Great job!

I think I look like a ... But thank you. I wonder what a guitar has to do with the acrobat? There is a classic circus trick when an acrobat sits on a tiny trapeze very high above the ground and plays violin, but not guitar. Guitar trick would look more piquant, I guess.

Selfish-Eden In reply to psychobitchua [2006-11-17 05:29:43 +0000 UTC]

You sooo do not look like a skeleton! You have a wonderfully delicate beauty that probably makes people think you're not at all dangerous. Muwahaha, they're wrong. I love the guitar. Even acrobats have hobbies.

Oh god, what do you mean? I'm the sweest person alive... for the first 2 seconds, before people start to irritate me.
It's a childhood complex. First thing people ask when I enter the room still is "When did you last eat?" It's irritating as hell.

That sounds like me. "I'm a very nice person... and then I wake up."
That does sound annoying. I was pudgy as a kid, so if someone asks me if I've gained weight, I want to kill them.

BloodyVoodoo [2006-11-16 03:32:52 +0000 UTC]

This is cool as hell! I absolutely love carnivals. They carry mixed emotions for me; both fear and joy. The atmosphere you created is fantastic. Love the dangling figures from the huge balloons. I also love you with that guitar case, top hat, and cigarette hanging from your fingers, looking like a vagabond. Awesome!

I don't want to turn into a deviant who works with her own images only. I think it's kind of wrong. But damn, I wanted to be inside this picture.
Carnivals are just pure black magic for me. There is something pagan and diabolical in them, like it's the only place on earth where you can really sell your soul. Thank you, my friend.

Well, it did not take a Holmes, as you said "Usually I can't find anything I need on sxc.hu". Besides, you were the one that actually lead me to sxc.hu.

Btw - considering your style I would not wonder if you want stock no one has wanted before. I would not be surprised at all.

If I could fav a whole gallery, it would be yours. Man your work is so incredibly ...creative! You've got such talent and creativity.

I love the seamless blending in this and choosing the bright colours of the balloon really give this piece just that splash of colour that makes the whole thing seem like a dreamscape. Great stuff as always!

psychobitchua In reply to Synnaj [2006-11-15 22:57:20 +0000 UTC]

I've made a brief comeback to "old school" photomanipulations. They are harder for me to do, than old-book-style ones, because I worry too much about light effects and natural look of it all. I was planning to leave balloons blue, actually, but the picture looked too cold then.
(whisper) I wouldn't fav my old stuff from the 3rd page of my gallery, never. Thanks for the wonderful comment.

мне кажется это очень похоже на тебя:когда все серое и одинаковое-ты яркая и выделяешся,когда все движется-ты замерешь,ты находишся где-то далеко, в своих странных,нереальных мирах,возвращяешся вреальность на секунду взглядом или кивком...
Люди серые,пустые,одинаковые.Они просто марионетки.Легкие цветные воздушные шары поднимаются в небо.Мечты.А в центре-человек,который принадлежит миру серых людей,но только физически,а мысленно стремится в верх,вслед за воздушными шарами.
