Artist's Comments

our umbilical days
silkscreened on a gentle canvas
hangs indelibly
behind my forehead
when you are
angry
for those
5 seconds
when you hate me
from your bones.

she seems to have an almost teasing look in her eyes. I really like the colors, the turquoise and red of her outfit seem to be the brightest. the sky also sticks out a lot, I like that.
did you write that poetry? it's absolutely beautiful, just like the shot.

There's no hate there, my Brother.

She's saying "Boy, you so stupid", and she probably laughed after you took this shot.

Right. That's the lovehate. the play hate.

:O_o:The -I can't stand you, as she pulls you in close for a kiss- hate

That turquoise scarf really sets everything else into a backdrop where she becomes more alive and individual... almost as someone standing in front of a projected film...coolness and digging it on a number of levels.

Ohhh its the baby thingy lens!!!!
Great, moody effect.
I like how the sky is all bright in the distance, but in the foreground everything is dark and moody. I love how she has colour and almost everything else hasnt, except for little bits in the shop signs....very cool!

Now see, you lit upon the truth of that shot. :laughing:

All correct, except the kiss part. She's just my lil homie.

I excerpted a poem I wrote for my girl 5 years ago.

Thanks bruh!

I tried a different technique for recoloring in Photoshop. It's similar to the regular faded out brownish look of a lot of my other stuff, but without the aging effect...more emphasis on light. I'm really glad you got that sense of presence from her in this pic.

There are 12 restaurants on that block.
