and THEN the painting...

Morphed into a card...



Just like *magic*

*i am enjoying re-using my images
by scanning and then re-mixing
them into something new*

Interesting how the word ~Love~
is now the main focus...

i am imagining a set of
Tarot or inspirational cards

i would also like to use this process
to create a Cloth Art~Doll too

*i believe this is what we do with art and music
i think perhaps that we reach into the ether's and simply
pull existing artistic inspiration through our own unique
creative systems to birth something new...
and it frustrates me when people get so pedantic
about owning " stuff" ...
For i believe that we don't truly ever ~own~ anything creative
That it is more a beautiful process of insight and not an object to guard and own jealously...

i think upon the latest ~Men At Work~ song controversy: i mean REALLY???

"Men At Work face £33m bill after judge rules Australian band copied Down Under melody By Richard Shears Last updated at 7:54 AM on 05th February 2010 Australian pop group Men At Work face paying £33million in royalties after a court ruled yesterday they ripped off their most famous song from the Girl Guides. A judge says the flute music from the hit Down Under, which went to No1 in the UK and U.S. in 1983, copied the tune Kookaburra Sits In The Old Gum Tree, written by teacher Marion Sinclair in 1935 for a Guides competition. The Kookaburra song by Miss Sinclair, who died at 93 in 1990, became a popular nursery rhyme and favourite around Girl Guide campfires worldwide. Men At Work: The Australian band are accused of ripping off the flute melody from the 1935 Girl Guides' anthem, Kookaburra Sits In The Old Gum Tree Now Down Under songwriters Colin Hay and Ron Strykert, along with music giant EMI, face paying millions to publishing firm Larrikin Music, the copyright holders of the Kookaburra song, which sued them for breach of copyright last year. At the Australian Federal Court in Sydney yesterday, Justice Peter Jacobson said: 'The flute riff in Down Under infringes on the copyright of Kookaburra because it replicates a substantial part of Miss Sinclair's 1935 work.' Men at Work's Down Under topped the charts around the world in 1982 But Mr Hay said last night: 'I'll go to my grave knowing Down Under is an original piece of work. In over 20 years no one noticed the reference to Kookaburra. Marion Sinclair never made any claim that we had appropriated any part of her song, and she was alive when Down Under was a hit. Apparently she didn't notice either.' Do they really sound the same? " Kookaburra htt p://ww w.yout ube.co m/watch?v=l1Uq6AB_4hM Men At Work ht tp://ww w.yout ube.co m/watch?v=DNT7uZf7lew

Crazy no? Especially after all this time...
and as i write this a Kookaburra laughs gleefully
in the trees of my garden...

Enough said methinks!
