Struggle - conceptual photography

Some relief from all the pretty vintage images... Struggle: a forceful or violent effort to get free of restraint or resist attack.

My own photography, bought resources (texture) and colour editing. Mixed up in Photoshop.

My interpretation of Michelangelo's painting. 

Touch is something special. It can change the world and you.

A  variation on my rock, paper, scissors theme. There is something magical and almost occult about this game. The feather seemed the perfect addition. I wonder how it would fit into the game? Would it beat all the others, sort of like a joker? When could you use it? Why would you use it? For really important issues, sort of get one win in a hundred free? :-)

What do you think? I'd love to hear your ideas. :-) ♥

Sorry if this is a bit disturbing, but I felt it was an important topic and had to be shown in all its 'goriness' (is that a word?) Especially nowadays there are so many people self-harming, many of them young women, and it often is the only way to express those feelings that cannot find another way to be expressed. 

PS. I didn't actually spill any blood for this image - it was a scratch from my cat's claws (he's VERY clumsy) and a texture I'd created.

Heart of Stone - Altered Art

Altered Art to accompany my poem Heart of Stone.

This one took forever to get right...

I used my own photos/textures together with the following,

Stock:

• Some old Rock by Neb8stock
  

• Bone Hands by XaXushqa
  

• Moon by FantasyStock
  

Textures:

• Sirius_SDZ
  

• Enframed
  

• Khaosdog
  

The butterflies are Zebra Longwings and have been (digitally) hand painted in Corel Painter.

The heart is a shape from the Photoshop custom shapes combined with the 'some old rock' stock and blended in Painter, with texture added in Photoshop.
