This work is copyright by KatyJA, Justin Lassen (R.I.P.)  & Hal Bergman. NO ONE MAY USE MY ART FOR ANY REASON. NO WAY WHATSOEVER WITHOUT MY EXPRESS WRITTEN CONSENT...

An Older work that I just felt like resubmitting..


Secrets...

A Gift for a friend & my most favorite Composer/Musician...Justin Lassen

(A multi-instrumentalist, composer, remixer and producer)

justinlassen.livejournal.com/

aka *Digital Dirt Heads*

aka *Empire of Modern Thought*

First and foremost I want to Thank Justin for allowing me to use his photo for this Creation...Much respect

This came to me while listening to the track *Secrets* by *Justin Lassen*

I started drawing/painting these little creatures and just kept on going with the flow...the Music really took me away

He introduces us to the Art & Music of Synaesthesia where you can listen to the evocative music he *paints* to the art of some of the most thought provoking artists ever

Model: A personal photo of *Justin Lassen* whom granted me permission to use his photos from his photoshoot with photographer *Hal Bergman* at the Greystone

The remaining stock: The ripple effect and the shadow of the giant creature in front of him, & texture is from various royalty free stocks at *Stock Exchange* aka *SXC.hu

The creatures and color are my Drawing/Painting and the many various tools of Photoshop CS2 including texture/filter/layers, warping, distorting, skewing, perspective, various blend & opacity modes...

Thank you ever so much for viewing & Thank you Justin for for the use of your photo!

This is also one I am very partial to, for many various reasons, for one, it is for a friend and it reflects what he was going though at the time, in a surreal sort of way I got carried away with those creatures, some people refer to them as fish and others as birds, yet when I was creating them, they were meant as a cross between them, a sort of hybrid I was actually inspired to make this from a song/track that I was listening to that he created, the music really took me away You should link me to the song that you think this reminds you of, I'm very curious now Thanks so much for commenting hon. I'm really glad you like it

I like to read how pieces come together.
Of course as a removed viewer, I had other songs play in my head while I viewed this.

I appreciate the wrinkle of his suit.
The long-coming hair cut..

His shirt and wallet chain seem to sew tiny stitches that seam the other patterns and textures together.

The coloring is a pleasant oddity.
Unexpected, but it brings us into the swirl of his mental processes.
A romantic lightness that keeps me lingering.
Such a tame young man for such tention in his hands.

Soulful angle of approach.

Lovely. Lovely

Thank you so much hon. I would love to know what the other songs were that you were hearing upon viewing this I should try to link you to the track of his that I was listening to when I created it so you could grasp where my imagination was at. I love how you have woven the piece together with your vision. This guy is very humble and yet very dark and mysterious. He is a friend of mine for some years now and he is quite the Talent. Hmm the tension, well, he has had some personal upsets and lets just say, he has still not gotten over, even after a couple of years now. He cannot seem to let it go. He's an awesome guy, as I said, very talented. He keeps a low profile yet he is well known in the industry. I love using his photos for my Artworks, he is a great subject to work with. Thanks so much again hon

These are the songs.

You will either love or be insulted by the second song,
but know I was deeply moved with these melodies in my head while looking at this image - which I've done several times.

I appreciate the intimate look you've given.
I would love to have your photographic opportunies.

I actually love the second song now that I have heard it I know it is quite different from, yet for some reason she (or rather her voice) reminds me of Coco Rosie

Hey, Hey it's the Monkies.. hahaha


Here is the link to the track I was listening to while creating this, by Justin (the model, who is actually not a model, yet a composer/musician/remixer/producer) It's actually from his first Dark Symphony/Dark Chamber Suite I was hoping to express the mood the this track evoked in me when creating this:

[link]

I've enlarged the viewing option of this image now. I kept playing this track on loop while creating the entire image, if you look at this while listening to track, you may be able to feel exactly what I had been feeling at the time I created this. I also knew what was happening in his life at the time that I created this and he said it was exactly what he was feeling at that time. I was really happy that I was able to pick up on his emotion and to convey and express it in this image. I also have more shots of him from this shoot, one that is a drawing/painting that I had set aside a almost 2 years ago, that I need to finish, and then other photos. I just requested a specific photo from him the other day and I'm hoping he finds it on his HD so that I can work with it, or use it for reference

Sounds like you and I have the same processes to an extent.

I couldn't gain access to the second link here.
Something about needing a log-on.

The FIRST link...
when that actually hurt me.
It triggered something very deep in me.

I thank you for that.
It was like needing to cry, but not being able to
until that one thing comes along and you can
get it all out nicely.
Recovery from a year of small poisonings.

DAMN that song is moving.
The video killed a part of me.
I don't know how to thank you.
