Flutter and I took posession of our new apartment, in the rebuilt Hangars Liquides, the other day…
… it is more spacious than our previous HL apartment was…
… the style is instantly recognisable as Djehan Kidd’s amazing work…
… of course, the first thing we did was put up pictures. We chose cyber-influenced work to match the surroundings…
… we had a coffee break… well, Flutter doesn’t actually drink coffee, but she enjoys the smell, and feels left out if I don’t pour her a cup, too…
… then continued our work…
… we are very happy with the look/style we have created, here…
… no home of ours is complete without a generous helping of cuteness, of course…
… we’ve already, since I shot this post, made some changes… this glass enclosure now has one of Djehan’s gorgeous bathtubs in it, and the plants have been reshuffled, just leaving one in with the tub…
… the bedroom is tiny, but very cosy, like a cabin in a spaceship (:
I’ve been pushing the level of adornment in these images…
… Mj does rich adornment very well, these days… not so long ago, the adornment was often just visual noise, if you looked closely, it was just mashed-up pixels, roughly approximating stuff… now it’s actual jewels, and embroidery, and fabulous fabric textures. Mj has also made very impressive advances at representing hands… it still makes creepy mistakes, but, more often, gets it pretty right…
… I love this graphic style, kind of Mucha-like, but not cartoony/drawn…
… these woman are proud rulers and nobles…
… the queens and princesses of wondrous fantasy realms…
… where good and evil are clearly defined…
… and they don’t ever have to experience…
… gutless sneak-attacks from cowardly, murderous, terrorist psychopaths.
I finally took down the ‘Slipstream‘ exhibition, which has been up for six months! I kept it up that long, though, because I loved that series a lot! Anyway… I replaced it with the gorgeous ‘Imaginary Nobility’ series…
… so you can come and actually stand in front of these beautiful, lush images…
I started developing a concept of albino-esque, warrior beauties. It took about a week to start getting this level of results… Mj doesn’t understand ‘albino’, with the same, unfathomable reasoning that it can’t grasp the concept of ‘black lipstick’. Anyway, after many prompt experiments, it started giving me these beauties…
… I’m sure you’ve gathered, by now, I adore this kind of imagery of strong, even fiercely, beautiful woman…
… non-conventional beauty, and all-the-more alluring for the fact…
… my mind spins entire narratives around these wonderful images…
… whole stories of unbroken loyalty and eternal love.
