Apollo's SheepApollo's Sheep
by Shannon Hilson

Amorphous and strange
Are these wishes we have
Like the sheep
That follow Apollo's lead
Like the secret jewels
Hidden under their wool
And the crystalline kisses
That appeared on my window
While I slept softly in fractions
And dreamed of him in days.

Impossible and fragrant
Are these wishes we have
Like the light that escaped
From the bedroom of Zeus
When distracted he left the door ajar
Completely unaware
He had just shown me Heaven
And now I know
What color skirt she wears
And how she dresses her hair for bed.

Mercurial and rare
Are these wishes we have
Like the snow on the beach

Bread of Shameby *wolfmorphine

Digital Art / Photomanipulation / Conceptual

This piece is inspired by a Kabbalah concept I was reading about the other day called the bread of shame. Although it appears to be up for interpretation as far as what exactly bread of shame is and is not from a religious standpoint, this is the concept as I understand it and apply it to my own life and experiences.

Bread of shame refers to rewards or recognition in life that someone did not earn through their own hard work and perseverance, meaning that they are rewards unable to bring true satisfaction. If a person continually "eats the bread of shame" instead of earning their own way through the world in one way or another, they will become dejected and stagnant, a mere shadow of the person they could be, both to themselves and to the world around them. Stock used to help create this piece comes from *Lisajen-stock for the figure and sxc for the background and bread, and ~Falln-Brushes for the brushes the spiderwebs are based on.

i love the colors, think it's the best you've put out in a while. you should try blending the photographic parts to get a more paint feel in it. painters blend tools does the work pretty nicely.
