AMAZING DIGITAL ART FOR SALE

A few years ago, no one could imagine the experience of the world we now see today. Just think about it for a minute; instant communication, easy access to information,quick and wide commerce and well, if I have to mention enormous flow of ideas that are all over the net you can't get them all in your lifetime. This is a technology that has essentially become part of many people's lives worldwide.
It is however easy to ignore a gift once you have it, or to not make good use of it at all. For example I personally adore hand-made art over computer-aided art. It is something of an old-generation feeling attached to my little head that I can't get over with. But you know there are facts you must live with in your times.
And so when I started looking at ways in which we can use technology to increase the quality of our traditional products in art and other industries, there the fact settled in. And I can proudly rever anyone who is skilled at it. Yes, it requires skill.
I must have grown myself emotionally attached to the feel of brush strokes on canvas or to the lasture of wood in a sculpture. Trust me it is still there. But when it comes to digital art, another world is added to my view. I suddenly see a paradise of art that is smooth to the detail, has a sense of authenticity and still retains the wonderful aesthetics found in hand-made art.
Somebody took hundreds of hours in front of a monitor beating the mouse and keyboard to make this! I just want to have these on my wall! Click digital art to see what is at stake here!

Africa Sees Project



Africa Sees
She senses the scent. The scent of nourishment; sweet delicious meat and the carnivore in her is wildly out of her way. The scent is so close, she can feel it. Perhaps it is right at her claws, why is she not seeing it. Perhaps it is a bit far, but that is still close. Her dark eyes jump here and there. She looks up in the acacias and cacti as if the prey can actually hide in sticks and thorns. She clearly underestimates her quest. And the prey looks at the bitch that senses her presence and prays that the bitch doesn’t set her eyes on him.




The vicinity is clear but it is dark with fire burns.There are charred acacia logs here and there. Lynched carcasses lie unfathomably on the earth that once had bushes that hid them selfishly from whatever they were meant to hide from. The grass is black, its green having been sucked up in flames and left beige and grey in its suckers. You might actually see a baobab, its fatness is never wrong, but it will be dead. All the way down the seasonal stream, mukuri, and up the once vast pastures of the sheep and goats, tetu wa mburi, the fire has had its territory under strict control. 



The prey prays that he is not seen by the owner of the bitch. He is earnest in this second prayer for he knows that the owner of the bitch is the worst bitch. The owner is not exactly a bitch per se but in this context he, the prey, decides to refer to the owner as a bitch too. Like her bitch, she is also looking around appetizingly to find the prey. She knows there has to be one. A hare? An antelope? An antelope is a big one, perhaps a baby gazelle? She’ll eventually settle for a minute hare hiding inconceivably in the dark protrudes of black and beige grass that clearly is betraying him. 
Truly the owner of the bitch now sees the hopeless thing hiding right at her toes. What distance is it? Just one stride, yes. And the thing is right there, having folded itself so tightly you think it is a piece of shit; a piece of woolen paper, or just shit with fur. The owner of the bitch first wonders 1) how the hare managed to hide its long ears and 2) why its snout is not blinking. Maybe it’s already dead. But even if it is, verification is needed. She can’t touch her with her own hands. And her bitch is still wondering where this scent-full prey is. Besides she actually has a rungu she can use to scare the hare away so that the bitch sees it. The goats and cows are gone, she can’t think about them especially right now; at this moment.
Or she can use the rungu to knock the cowardly thing on its head and give it to the bitch. Yes. The rungu is up in the air and she hopes dexterity works in her favor this time. The timing is wrong. The hare seizes it and slips away.
“Betty!!” the owner of the bitch is angry with excitement and disappointment. 

She is disappointed in herself and excited in her bitch, Betty. Betty takes on the chase. You silly slut, she seems to say as she sprints and pants her tongue off over the black soil and grass.


 “Saa! Saa!” the owner of Betty urges her on.
The hare buys expensively more time to live on the planet by making revolving movements. After three such chases around an imaginary circle Betty is almost lost of breath and the rungu is still up in the air, having not found a perfect time to knock the hare.
 ‘What if I throw it, and I hit Betty instead’ she is thinking to herself. She is in an alien tension, it feels like an alien mission on earth, chasing an alien. 

Here hare has been starving with nothing green to his diet. It was a mistake for him to be on this side of the jungle where there has been a bush fire and there is no food, you see. It is a further mistake playing hide-and-seek which later turns out to be run and run in a cycle. Like the way history is said to repeat itself. Eventually unless she escapes miraculously she is going to make Betty dinner.
The owner decides to slightly join in the beautiful chasing story developing. Then the rapture happens. It is rapture because it strikes her how fast and horrible the end of the hare has been. Betty has nearly swallowed him in her mouth and somehow her teeth have literally torn the furry skin of the hare. It almost looks as if it was a gown he had worn and his nakedness is now revealed red and steaming. 
Even when he is caught in Betty’s jaws, the hare now naked without the skin, tries to slip away. Betty bites him strongly on the neck and the owner knows he is dead. Betty feels it and she gracefully puts the deserving meal on a patch of black grass and sits down, having her front limbs next to the dead hare, just in case.
She then pants profusely this time pouring a lot of saliva and she looks like a ticking bomb almost exploding. She doesn’t look at the prey, she looks at her owner. The owner wants to go to the bitch and the bitch slightly pulls the dead stripped hare towards herself. ‘This is my meal’ she seems to say ‘no invitations’.
Betty doesn’t look at her owner anymore and the owner decides to follow her goats and cows, they must have reached home by now. As she turns back, she likes Betty’s zeal and the confidence that bitch has mustered. She sees her bitch as the king of the jungle. Betty’s a dog that knows what she wants. She sees.

TOP VISIONS YOU NEED TO POST ON YOUR WALL

It is true that a picture is worth a thousand words. All my life I have had this truth tested. In many cases I find that an image is always new in its own way. It is like what you saw on it yesterday or other times in the past is not what you see about it in the morning. Each day, it tells a different story.
Art has a way of conversing with us. It reminds us of the immense splendour of the world we live in. It tells us of the importance of living. It also gives us a new view of the world we live in, so that we embrace life fully and lovingly. Indeed the world would still be desolate if art never existed.
Think about it this way: every one of us has that nature within themselves of treasuring moments, doing good to other people and things, expressing themselves in a way that they think they will be understood and the way they themselves understand the world. All these in their own respect are the core values of art.
Talking of treasuring moments, think of that time of the day when your tedious commitments and work binders are all over and all you want is for you to be in your own little cocoon of rest. This happens all the time, and to say it the least, not many of us ever get the kind of rest desired.
I will tell you what is therapeutic. The meek orange glow that touches your face when you are driving or walking home. It might strike you in the middle of the tight traffic or in the town centre. Yes. Art has that power of existing despite of chaos. If you only stopped and looked, drawn into it, experience its grandeur.
I am talking about the sunset. Simple and stupid it sounds, you need to have a vision of it on your wall. Only then will you find and discover the hidden power of this Earth old phenomenon.
I happen to be part of a community who share the same vision, Fine Art America. They have numerous collections of sunset and other art photography visions worth audience. As part of a promotional sponsorship, I will be posting links on this blog so that you also get to share in the same vision and who knows perhaps you might decide to have a sunset canvas print, a paper print or a cool functional item like a tote bag, a duvet cover or an awesome sunset shower curtain.
I do not know about you, but as for me, I would really want a sunset piece in my house. I love sunsets. sunset photographs for sale is just what you need to check out right now, right away!
