Please
join me at Trail of Breadcrumbs, beginning on the Northern Hemisphere's Summer Solstice, for the two week event I am calling the
Festival of Orgone! Everyday on and between the Summer Solstice and
U.S. Independence Day this year I will be posting a new Orgone inspired piece
of artwork. With each piece I will be posting information about Orgone
and other universal energies. Below are a few of my previous pieces
based on Orgone energy.

Hell, Another Entrance
There are many roads into the Underworld...as many as there are names for it. Hell, Hades, Underworld, Mictlan, Annwn, Niflheim, and on. Sometimes, like it or not, you have to walk into it, because it is the only road before you. All other avenues of escape have been removed and only darkness waits. Pulsing darkness and pain that calls like an old addiction. It wants you to believe that it is all there is. The light was only a trick of your mind and only madness and blood are the truth.

The Process: As Above, So Below
This is a map of the intensity and resources and energy necessary to make even small changes in the world. The Alchemy of Spirit, the challenge of bringing desire into reality. Viewing this piece finished was when I realized all the changes that I was making in my world were changing me, permanently.

Versus
During the month of December 2011, it felt as though there was no escape from everything that was wrong with my life...no shelter, no respite, no answers. I had just moved all my belongings into a space half the size of my previous abode, after a year of job hunting I was still unemployed, and my new housemate's mother passed the second week of December. By New Years Eve, I felt as though I was losing my mind.

Guess Who Finally Got a Scanner?!?!
It's going to take me a little while, but now I can finally update with some decent scans of the sketchbook pieces I've posted. YIPPEEEEEEE! :-) I think I'm on the smack / rub payment plan with the universe, because overall this week has been total crap, but here at the end of it, a very nice surprise.
This scanner will allow me a variety of things, not the least of which will be the ability to scan my drawings for my comic book work. This will allow several stalled projects to truly get moving again since I won't have to pay $12/plus an hour at Fedex Office to rent a scanner. WAHOO!

Bullet in the Brain Pan
This one is a sister piece to Io Pan. It was created from the same source material, but with a very, very different outcome. Io Pan seems to be moving towards some greater cohesion whereas this piece is about violent dissolution.
On an unrelated, but related note, I recently watched I saw the Devil for the first time. The movie is dramatically gory, but as I was discussing with my friend Josh, it is gory with a purpose. You need to feel knee deep in blood by the end of that movie. I feel as though that kind of aesthetic applies to my pieces like this. This piece is difficult for me to look at because it should be. I feel I need to make a counterpoint here. The movie Hostel and those of a similar make like the SAW series, are simply torture porn to me. I Saw the Devil is a story about Revenge and all that it entails. In Hostel, we are watching torture with no other overtures or elements. In I saw the Devil the director takes you through the horror of the situation to bring you to an ultimate point of tragedy.
I guess I'm justifying a bit here because I was nervous about this piece from the moment I created it. I'm not afraid of gore and the visceral reaction it evokes from me, but there is a line. I do not want my pieces to be gory for the sake of aesthetic violence. I guess my question becomes then...Where is the line?

I Raise Up My Light
It burns in my heart like an ingot of molten metal. Sometimes it moves
to the forefront from the far reaches of my mind and boils over my
view until I cannot see past this driving force. There is no
reason, just the scream, only the scream.
It will be free. If I do not find a way to release it, it will seek its own purchase in the world. It will strike like lightning, burning and breaking until it is spent. The surge of blood. The great red sea. The Odin force. The Kundalini. The opening of the great eye. The life death scream of the hawk. When it wakes, the world trembles.
There is an older piece I created in graphite that is a sister piece to this one. I will get a photo of that one soon. It is larger than my normal work. Also, It was packed away during the move and will need to be extracted.

The Throne of the Mind
It gazes within and it gazes without,
It opens and swallows itself.
At the bottom of the ocean, at the bottom of the sea,
The nested flesh gestates.
Intelligence serves it,
Ignorance serves it,War serves it,
Peace serves it,
Our every action
is the thumping tread of its gargantuan footsteps.
We are it mouths.
We are its eyes.
We are its thoughts.
Drum beats, heart beats,
blood pumps the light beneath skin and hair and sweat.
The dream of a thousand million years.
Knowledge is giving birth to itself.

The Totem
it calls out from the time before time.
It breathes a rhythm, a heartbeat,
an urging towards release,
and it will be born.
and it will be born.
and it will be born.
Like lightning,
it strikes backwards towards its desire.

Reading from the Book of Night
In the twilight of the underworld,
The sun within waxes and wanes.
Days stacked like logs in the wood pile
kindle and burn on the mount of knowing.
Harlequin wall totem reads from the great book.
The mother day sprays light to inoculate the reading
and fertilize the thoughts for growth.
Father predator spits darkness into her.
A deception that by her nature she converts into light.
His light within reads the necessity and
sees the voice and light needed for the reading.
Between them all, a darkness gestates
the darkness of absence, of emptiness,
of the void.
A darkness through which all things pass
to reach the light of the coming day.
In the desert of ignorance,
the scarab rolls its children into a sphere of darkness
tucking them safely into that fecund enclosure
knowing that at their birth,
they will eat their way to the light.

The Fear
And finally after 3 months of back breaking Rage, from stage left comes the source of all my drama. Raw skinned and trembling, paralyzed and wide-eyed, My fear takes focus.
I find that I can't be angry now. There is no resentment and my rage fades like a retreating storm. I feel sadness for this impoverished part of myself, this portion of me with skin so thin that even the movement of air is like knives.
When I was finished with this piece I found no righteous vindication but instead a strange compassion. I had thought the resolution of the quest to find the source of my Anger would find a villain to be defeated, but instead I find a victim. Already defeated, and in that defeat a circling whirlwind of misplaced energy. A leprous pariah to be given succor, relief, and healing.
