Graffiti

We were supposed to paint THE WALL that day. They weren't supposed to attack the flotilla. I at least got to draw this admittedly experimental piece:

DSCF0387

Here was the design I had in mind: She won't let that big bad thing behind her contain her curiosity.

  1. Like you, brilliant Emily: you haven't "let that big bad thing behind you contain your curiosity."

    How I wish we could undo all the harm they've done that "they weren't supposed to" do.

    We have to speak like you to ask our U.S. government to stop paying for and defending such crimes.

    Thank you, Emily, for your poetry of word, line, and deed, that encourages us all to keep wondering--and trying to imitate your brave work freeing brave people.

  4. You thirsy pixel you look like a page three number. I like naturals. Since there is always invasions in my blog by crazy pixels I would like to offer a comment.
    Read what Tagore says about nature:

    Nature

    "Nature has always had more force than education."—Voltaire Life of Moliere
    Nature is a flow of harmony that infallibly unites the within and the without, the what-is and the what-is-to-come. No insincerity or blunder is to be found between Nature's action and Nature's law. Tagore will now show us what God actually does through Nature and the human soul: "It is said that Nature is the field through which God manifests his Power, while through the human soul He manifests his Love. In Nature He asserts Himself through Power, while in the human souls He gives himself away through love."

  5. "redicluslier, redicluslier and more redicluslier" to quote my most insightful grandson at 4 years old! A true sage on life's continual mmmm offerings(?!?) What can one do but give? There's nothing else really. Thanks for your offerings.

    I'm drawn to graffiti (ah...a pun!) and love it's wild spontaneous abandon although panic seems to be in the gait of your hare (maybe adrenaline?). Can't fight the flight, I suppose. For some silliness, come visit my blog. I'm following you. ;-)Pam

  7. I loved the later work of the long hair girl with the beatle on her finger. I don't know if you watch European animation but have a look at this http://www.xilam.com/xilam/ev/library_series_toupou.html Such a coincidence especially with hair :D

  23. If You Died Today, Are You 100% Sure You Would Go To Heaven When You
    Die or the Rapture Comes?
    1. You Are A Sinner.
    "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23

    2. There Is A Price On Sin.
    "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life
    through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23

    "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the
    second death." Revelation 20:14

    3. Jesus Shed His Precious Blood on the Cross and Died To Pay For Your Sins.
    "But God commendeth His love toward us in that while we were yet
    sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
    Luke 1:77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
    Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

    4. Salvation Is Not Of Our Works. It Is Through Jesus Christ.
    "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the
    ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness." Romans 4:5

    5. God Wants To Save You If You Will Just Put Your Trust In Him.
    "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
    Romans 10:13

    A sample prayer you may pray:

    Dear Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. I know that I deserve to die
    and go to Hell. I believe that You died for me on the Cross and after
    three days and three nights You arose from the dead so that I could be
    saved. Jesus, You promised in your Word to save any who call upon the
    name of the Lord. Jesus, I am calling upon your name now. Please save
    me, Jesus, and take me to Heaven someday to live with you forever!
    Thank You for saving me, Jesus. Amen.

  31. Very nice, hopeful and uplifting!

    Still hoping to find out how to pronounce you're last name Emily, even if I don't do another video about you and what happened. You don't seem to be the type who would indulge in media attention, yet any media attention about what's really going on over there is potentially helpful to those who are living under this terrible occupation.

    Either way, keep 'em coming. I enjoy your work. You're a real inspiration to many. That's apparent from most of the messages.

    Keep on keeping on!

    My best, Ken

  45. Congratulations on being blog of note! My name's Chris Bassoo and I've been spending my time looking up socialmedia, web applications, franchise sales, fraud, email fraudulent, etc, so to my surprise, when I came across your blog I was pleased to see such an underground art form. People always see street art as this bad thing, but I think you truly have a talent. Again, congrats on blog of note. Warm regards, Chris Bassoo.
