August - Myths and Legends - Nathan Pye

My entry doesn't refer to any Myth or Legend directly, but I used an an old drawing and concept to mash up some existing ones.

My initial idea was an angry octopus god, surrounded by shattered ships and oceanis debris. I started to weave in some Ganesha influences, and it just slowly calmed everything out. Ended up a lot more serene than I initially intended.

Feels like it needs a few more days in the oven, but a deadlines a deadline. :P

August - Myths and Legends - Tracey Head

I am addressing parts of the self through my painting - illustrating fables, myths and legends. Architypes are examples of different states of mind and a way for me to express my emotions. Art is a way of life, it is a journey to another land and the castle diplicts the start. Like the fool in the Tarot, he begins with not perceptions, ideals and awaits and learns on the way.

August - Myths&Legends - Phoebe Adams

"Born From An Egg" is a tribute to King Monkey the monkey god who proclaimed himself "Great Sage, Equal of Heaven". As a kid I used to watch "Monkey Magic" on the ABC every day after school. If you have never seen the series then do yourself a favor and watch it. The entire series can be found at Blockbuster Warrnambool (I haven't seen em anywhere else). The show is based on a Chinese myth, acted by Japanese actors, filmed in China and dubbed over in English. If you like an epic adventure, martial arts, shabby special effects, humor, awesome phrases like "Life is the meaning the universe sends to itself." Then Monkey is for you.

"The nature of Monkey was irrepressible!"

Chisako Ishikawa - Fish

I took this photo at an Aquarium in January 2008, in Japan.

The fish tank was surrounded by thick black curtains to create a dark environment like a darkroom and the jellyfish glow blue in the blue light.

It looked very fantastic and visionary.

Geordie Allardice - Fish

My name is Geordie Allardice I studied Arts at Tafe and then got my Degree in Fine arts at Deakin in 2004. I am currently studying Textiles at Tafe. Fish have always been a part of my life as my dads a fisherman and now that we live by the sea its hard to get away from the topic. The images I have had for a while all except for the poor fish that has all sorts of things attached to him that is recent.

The photograph above was taken of me in front of a mural I completed for the Port Fairy fishing club. It took a few weeks to paint up and many cans of acrylic exterior paint. Initially there was a mural underneath but it had become tired and worn. I painted straight over the top using it as a guide. I did vary a few things, the sun at the top, the design of the fish and its overall colour. The club was pleased and so was i.



The image above is a present for my dad on his birthday. Roughly 60cm x 45cm it is a fish with a flaming antenna coming out of its head while pulling an umbrella, breathing through a pipe and pulling the moon. Graphite on card.

July - Real Fish - Phoebe Adams

I'm pleased to announce that Seamor and Fanny the fish have a new aquarium. These two Illustrator created fish have been around since our Flash workshop a couple of months ago and they demanded to be posted. Seamor (the black one) says that cuttlefish aren't really fish they are mollusks and related to snails and slugs. So Fanny insisted that I post some real fish this time. I've made them a new tank in Photoshop using distortion, filters and drop shadows on images sourced from the web. They seem to really like their new environment so who knows when we might hear the splashes of little fins.

FISH MARKET - Anthon Suringa

Location: 'Fish Market' Baybay, Leyte, Philippines
Date: July 2007
Size (cm): w=65.02 & h=16.93
Photographer / Designer: Anthon Suringa
Material: Digital Camera & Adobe Photoshop CS2

I love fish! There's no way i would miss july's theme.

This image was captured on a digital camera at the fish market in the Philippines last year during my vacation. I use photoshop to apply blur and contrast effect.

Some of the crabs were actually alive that day waiting to be put on a hot pot! 90% of the fish in the market are actually fresh from the sea which gives customers a 100% flavor. If you love fish visit the Philippines :D
