Naughty little rabbit with something in mind...

1) Know your goal
2) Undress the subject
3) Jump on the subject
4) Keep the carrot for later

Model: Jessica De Boeck.

I initially wanted to draw Jessica as a princess with a giant
crown toad in her hands but I rather decided to draw this
naughty bunny, because I always wanted to do something
funny and special for "Pencil Vs Camera - 69", in a cute way.
To be completely honest, this image has a symbolic meaning.
It's not what you think, it represents something else for me...

I took this photo in Anderlecht, Belgium, not so long ago...
I also made the drawing as usual. You can view the sketch
in progress, some details and a preparatory picture here
below. This is part of "Pencil Vs Camera Beta Version"
(colored drawings on black paper).

>>> Review from THE DAILY MAIL for this picture:
"Ben Heine crosses the fine line between art and reality by
blending photographs with his own pencil sketches: A blonde
has her polka dot dress tugged at by a randy rabbit" (Matt
Blake, The Daily Mail, July 2012).

We should all try to have a romantic attitude... =D

Model: Jessica De Boeck.

Jessica was sitting on this bench and looking very lonely.
Now she is in better company with this mysterious man.

I took this photo in Anderlecht, Belgium, not so long ago...
I also made the drawing as usual. You can view the sketch
in progress here below. This is part of "Pencil Vs Camera
Beta Version" (colored drawings on black paper). Drawing
on black is a bit more difficult as it is exactly the opposite
process of the way I've been drawing since many years.

PS: This image is related to Jessica's story, not mine.

>>> Review from THE DAILY MAIL for this picture:
"A blonde looks away as a male admirer with flowers is
left with a broken heart: The artist said he has been deeply
influenced by Belgian Surrealism, German Expressionism,
American Pop Art and Social Realism" (Matt Blake, The
Daily Mail, July 2012).

If I Were A Fairy

A poem by Peter S. Quinn

If I were a fairy
I'd always be with you
My gray bearded and hairy
Leprechaun in blue
We could be so close
In endless wishing dreams
Where the summer grows
Thru twilight sage beams

If I were a queen
And you were a king
In kingdom of evergreen
Where soft breeze sing
We could give our heart
Flowing endlessly in beat
Where melodies impart
And other worlds meet

If there was no realty
Determined by conclusion
and you would all see
With eyes of illusion
We could be in a dream
King and a queen
Where vague ways seem
The only ones seen

Me And My Little Friend

A poem by Peter S. Quinn

Me and my little friend
Are in magical to do
Drinking its cup of thee
With cream in it too

Variations on a theme
Whatever it’s all for
Just like some dream
That opens up new door

My friend - he was going
To walk magic rainbow
Where the moon´s glowing
For a new tonight show

He knew its pots of gold
In its clandestine chamber
Where autumns unfold
Yellow red leaves of ember

Many secrets aren’t seen
Though they are all around
It’s their magic - in between
That everywhere is found

Just like this photo of today
Blending trace of tone living
In the instantaneous play
That every tide is giving

Accept the Difference

I took this photo near Santiago de Compostela (Spain).

As you can see in this case, I didn't change at all the composition
of the initial shot (below). I just slightly modified the contrasts. I like
how everything is inverted, even the perspective (the sheep in the
background looking bigger than the 3 ones in the foreground...)

Art is Ephemeral - 2

This is a large painting on canvas I started last week (+- 100 x 130cm) . I didn't want to finish it so I had the crazy and provocative idea to burn it. Like everything, art is ephemeral. Only a small piece remains, and the photos... Don't misunderstand me, art is precious and I don't like to destroy my work but this was the final purpose of this image.

A quick and simple improvisation made a few days ago in the
countryside. I just felt like climbing on some giant cloud and forget
everything. Where is Heaven located? Higher always higher!!!!!!!!

This sketch is, in some way, related to that other one.

Update: See THIS VIDEO showing some 18 Pencil Vs Camera
images in progress (with a small animation and original music).

Stairway To The Sky

A poem by Katie Gabrielle

stairway stairway
to the sky
way above me
floating by
clouds like candy
cotton white
fluffy, dandy
silky, bright
how's the view
from way up high
stairway, stairway
in the sky
the view from here
will make you cry

This is a picture I took in Greece. I also made the drawing on paper. I'm going to start something new in the "Pencil Vs Camera" series, I'll try to see "through things". This image is the beginning of a new turn in the PvsC concept... Thanks a lot for your appreciated feedbacks and comments. Please, see the whole "Pencil Vs Camera" album. The above photo has been shot with the Samsung NX10.

Convey My Destiny

A poem by Peter S. Quinn

Convey my destiny
That to my door calls
And spread its wings free
Before Icarus falls
Profit prosper days
Those to the roads lie
Balance each the bays
The oceans and the sky

Like corn in wind sways
My fate is to and fro
And nothing ever stays
That really has to go
Up to heights - to win
Mount the climbing high
There is so much within
Or efforts will surely die

Spirit of the Meadow

In The Spirit

A poem by Peter S. Quinn

Go go away in the spirit
Fly through the wind troubles away
Cradles of time in its acclimate
Meeting the shape of air and day

Exchanging sweet messages of souls
Gliding the rays asunder
Uninhabited forests and roles
Like light feels in sky of thunder

Elements of nature calling
Singing a holy hymn of being
Soft notes in melodies falling
Chorus of freedom seeing
