Yes, today is Monday, the Moon's Day, and Luna has entered the sign of Scorpio, sign of sex and secrets.

 

So how about a smidge of Chiffonery Art to get your week rolling along? What better than 'Scorpio Girl' one of my drawings from Cosmic Persona Designs?

 

 

 

'Scorpio Girl' by jude cowell 2008

 

Actually, Scorpio is the sign of Love AND Money AND betrayal, so seeing George Bush and Treasury secretary Hank Paulson propagandizing for another of their heists (the billion-dollar Citigroup bailout) on TV this morning from the steps of the Treasury building in Washington was enough to ruin breakfast entirely.

 

But hey - at least I had food for breakfast, right? Which is more than can be said for many Americans who are now frequenting threadbare shelves at Food Banks across the country, and other charitable institutions.

 

As soon as possible I intend to add links to my blogs for Food Banks and other sites so that those who have may share with those who've lost so much under the watch and the White House residency of George W. Bush.

 

Of course, as a populist and common-gooder, my personal opinion is that Bush and his super-rich friends should be the first ones to donate!

 

Puh! Let's not hold our breaths on that score. Why, we're the partridges they're having under glass.

 

Even president-elect Barack Obama seems to have no plans to hold those accountable who created and implemented this undermine-America agenda which is decimating what little social net the American people have left. Which makes me assume, sad to say, that he's one of the one-world-government promoters, too.

 

But sometimes you just want to be wrong. And in Barack Obama's case, i know he won't be 'walking on water' or be able to fix everything in a flash of brilliance...I just hope he isn't One Of Them - his secret meeting in June with the Bilderbergers aside.

 

If we-the-people organized ouselves as a 'Common Good Party' or something along those lines,  perhaps we'd have real hope. Our tremendous numbers are the only thing the NWO types fear (rightly so), and the Constitution supports our right to air grievances against faulty, duplicitous leadership. Why aren't we doing so?

 

Recognition of what's been going on as the class warfare that it is must become widespread for such massive organization to take place.

 

How desperate must we be? And I don't mean guns. That's what they expect, even want. So let's not give it to them! Let's cite the Constitution's provision for redressing our grievances even though Bush has weakened the Constitution, too.

 

But we-the-people still uphold its principles.

 

Don't we?

Over the rainy weekend, a new figure study was begun and completed, titled: 'As Bra Straps Fall' - which may sound a bit saucy, racy, or whatever you want to call it.

 

So if you're 17+ you may view the full image of this drawing, but until then, here's a detail-as-icon for you of the lady, but not the bra straps, in question:

In what is probably the most personal of my drawings, you'll find my 5 Puppy Confession, describing one of the darkest, most psychically damaging events of my childhood.

 

Drawn for sending to Post Secret, this rendering is previously published in my Cosmic Persona Designs collection of Chiffonery Art, Masked Art, and figure studies, and drawn with Prismacolor oil and Rexel Derwent watercolour pencils (dry only.) 

 

It is also published in one of my Gather Image Albums at http://judecowell.gather.com/  if you'd care to peek at my life and work.

 

So, here we go - I have no idea whether the drawing's hand-written text will be readable on this blog, but the figure certainly will. And no, she doesn't favor me at all - don't I wish! ;p

Well, how frisky can it be around here I mean Really?

 

How public is this blog anyway? It seems all cozy and quiet and...well...private. But this must be an illusion, right?

 

Illusion is Art, Art is Illusion...so it's time to upload something artfully frisky but not TOO frisky in case someone's kittycat accidentally pokes around and finds  this  lonely  space, then freaks out at the sheer sauciness of a sampling of Chiffonery Art...

so now...presenting...a skywatcher wearing nothing but her underwears and a pair of pink stockings:
