BAD Kitty Art Studio Quote for the day:

The picture above is an A.I.M. Magnet...hint, hint,hinty, hint.

***
"Facts, when combined with ideas,

constitute the greatest force in the world.

They are greater than armaments,

greater than finance, greater than science,

business and law because

they constitute the common denominator of all of them."

Carl W. Ackerman

***

When you are out there

knowing too much

the world becomes

what you decide it is.

Circumstance

perception

choice

action.

When I open my wings

the down on my fresh

new skin

feels the winds drying

the understanding

into the cells

of my

naked

secret self

and human desires.

I am fully unfurled

and taking flight...

the wind carries

my map

and the

rest is up to me.

HuMBle~6/8/06

Be beautiful and just you today.

We need you out here.

Unfurl and awaken to your own

actions & accountabilities

and choice... is just grace

that comes to tea

for a chat

and fear stays in the car and sulks

while you soar into your future.

Fly!

Quote for the day
***
"I'm no model lady.
A model's just an imitation of the real thing. "

Mae West
***
No imitations here folks...
100% pure Organic
Proud
Human.
What are you doing today?
I am trying to keep my sense of humor
in the face of overwhelming physical pain (LIKE OM FUCKING G!), emotional distress, general stress, and needs verses wants.
Desires balanced by what is possible.
I am working my ass off to get to what I want,
and letting it go at the same time...So that I may embrace what
comes into my world with grace and dignity.
All I ask is that something come, something move, create some peace in my family, in my being, in my world.
Working for all those things and trying hard not to work for anything but the joy of working...
being the Flow,
not swimming against it.
Being empty as much possible so that
I may be as useful as possible, & it's not an easy thing to do, so wish me luck, send me a referral for a business loan so I can buy my peaceful farm in KY, and create a place for all to come, eat well, learn, heal and be loved...all organic and off grid. Buy some art, buy some of my cool stuff, buy a cheap ass wonderful magnet...I don't care, just buy something so I can aquire my dream...uuummm, please.
Help me if you can, thanks.
Have a happy day,
Heather

This painting is from my new works,
I have a new style forming and a change is sweeping through me right now. This is representational of my unfurling of own my wings, bursting forth from the pods of dogma and obligation, and giving myself permission to be naked, and imperfect, and sensual, and passionate about my life.
I color my world in this way, I choose my use my past as fuel to inspire and complete this transformation.
Where is your life's path taking you?
What pod's are you trying to burst free from?
What makes you feel brave enough to allow yourself the freedom/risk of spending the time, out in the open, to unfurl and dry your wings?
What happens when you find yourself on the other side of pain, and discover a vast new world?
What happens to you when you expose all of yourself to the world?
These words are my diary, my quest to uncover the questions hidden by the answers.
This is the second in the "Secrets" (Which has already been spoken for) series...This is number 2....Unfurl.
Have a great day.

"The first of our senses which we should take care
never to let rust through disuse
is that sixth sense,
the imagination.
I mean the wide-open eye
which leads us to see truth
more vividly, to apprehend more broadly,
to concern ourselves more deeply,
to be,
all our life long,
sensitive and awake to the powers
and responsibilities given to us as human beings."

Christopher Fry

Eyes wide, her heart set a racing
she walked into the center of
The Dark Wood of The Unknown
and asked
in a strong, clear voice,
"Where is my Truth?"
Ancient trees shook their
answers from branch
to branch
leaf to leaf
receiving her request
with impatience, silent admonition
landed heavy upon her
red cloaked
shoulders.
"Inside You"
The Wise Wood answered on the
single golden leaf
that floated from the canopy
to appear
at her
black soled
feet.

Dear Universe a letter from HuMBle to the great Unknown


Hi,
My name is Heather Brown -Truman, I am a recycled artist in Oregon and a retired Organic farmer (15 years). I have found and organic off the Grid farm in out in no-where KY that does not harvest meat, but organic foods, fibers, fertilizers and solar power...I want to buy it and move there and complete the process of conversion that has been started. I am looking for funding from someone who understands the importance of low-impact living starting NOW, and from a personal accountability stand point and I have the skills and decades of training as a career Organic farmer to make it work and continue my rising art career...Someone who can see my business model as one that is viable, and invigorating. Can you point me in any direction? Thanks in advance for your time and energy...I appreciate it much.
Warm regards, Heather

Become aware of internal, subjective, subverbal experiences, so that these experiences can be brought into the world of abstraction, of conversation, of naming, etc. With the consequence that it immediately becomes possible for a certain amount of control to be exerted over these hitherto unconscious and uncontrollable processes.

and change my life
to the shape I want.
Low-Impact, Off the Grid

My goal.
I will have it.
I will not give up.
I will attain my goals, because of my ability to

2. Holiday 2 -3 lens- daylight exposure table, & working light meter on the top built in...Winds up and works as far as I know, everything is there and moving like it should.
3. Kodak Brownie 8mm movie camera #2 13mm - f/2.7 lens
winds up and works and is in very good shape.
This Lot is
$75.00 + shipping
Email me HERE the purchase.

Vintage 8mm Cameras Lot #2:

from the left to the right:

1. Brownie Kodak exactly like the one in Lot #1, just not as pretty...It has more wear and tear on it, someone used it a lot, it has mystery film in it, and it seems to wind up and work just fine.

2. Keystone 8mm K 27 Capri - with built in light meter (works) and it winds up and works very well, smooth sounding. Heavy and the lens are all in great shape...It has a lot of bells a whistles on it, and it is soo cool...Bonus!

3. Kodak Brownie Fun Saver Movie Camera - Fair condition close ups below show the chip in the bake light case, but it works and really it doesn't read when it is in amongst the others that it has damage to the face of the camera. So, I still loved it, because it works!

Lot #2

$50.00 + Shipping

Email me HERE to purchase the lot.


Close up of the damage....grrrr.

Vintage 8mm Cameras Lot #3:

from the bottom then round from the left to the right:

1. Front and center: Minolta auto pak-8 D4 asa 25 40 64 160/ asa 40 64 100 250

Works but is dirty and needs to be really cleaned...But I recently found it so I have not had time to detail it out. It does work and has all the extra screw on the top stuff (sorry don't know what's it called but it looks cool). It has lots of bells a whistles and seems to be clean and fully functioning on the inside (where it counts)...Bought from an old friend who made documentary's with it in the 60's & 70's...This camera has seen many a mile in a backpack...nuff said.

2. From the top left: Bell & Howell electric eye 8mm works well but does have a little dent in the back eye looky thru...But it superficial and the lens is fine and still moves...Just wanted to let you know...

3. Revere eye-matic magazine eight model CA.4 No. EE #161752 with the cool fade in and out option....Indoor and outdoor lens light filter, and working built in light meter.

125.00 + Shipping

Email Me HERE to Purchase Lot #3.




Vintage Kodak Portable Miniature Enlarger

Model 1 Des.119.259 100-240 volts 50 watts

All lens's internal and external complete...One of the inner most lens has a crack in it, but I just turned it to the side , and it didn't effect anything. This is it's only damage.

The wire is solid and in great shape, as is the toggle bakelight switch.

I bought this from a retired photographer, who collected cameras, and this one was one he used in his shop to teach people how camera lenses worked and to show them their slides...One at a time, but it is such a fun little machine, I had to have it.

Very heavy, made of solid metal and has multiple glass (Internal) lenses.

This Enlarger:

This is the totally cool card holder I designed for the upcoming show I will be in at the

Pride in the Arts Festival!

A StoneWall Society Program

http://www.prideinthearts.com/Festival/index.htm

So it's going to be this great gathering of terrific folks from all walks of life coming together to be PROUD of being themselves and HUMAN

and being the change...Not being the change on the American Morality issue but to being the change of being TRUE Humans gender, creed, and all other labels being pulled off real quick like a band-aid to the AWAKE folks in the world today.

And besides this is NOT a lifestyle/moral fucking issue (pardon the pun) people!

It's a Civil Rights ISSUE, and if you think it don't affect you or your life or your world/reality... you are wrong.

PERIOD.

I so ROCK ON that issue to the point that my regular readers probably don't want to hear about it anymore... I am sure, so I'll move on.

But I was real proud of how it turned out (the card holder) so I made a template and made notes on what I did, so I can do it again for other shows...I have been trying to come up with a design that is useful, cool looking and durable.

It is of course completely laminated...Because of the location of the show...And because I love running stuff through that machine!

I just thought you guys might like to see it too, those of you

(like me :(...)

that can't attend the event itself...And also for you other artist out there that might like to use the idea in your shows...I was able to fit 100 biz cards inside the pocket and it did not look too full, well I didn't think so anyway.

So go to the festival if you can...

And I am off to shake the money tree and see what falls out.

Universe...Me again asking for what I want...

Yep, that's me. You can't miss me,

because I am not average.

let it be.
