Description
.***Please follow me on Instagram instagram.com/ballistyc/ for new work***
.
Is birth the first day of your life,
or the first day of your death???
I like the idea of things being cyclical...
made with super sculpey
colours enhanced in photoshop
I had trouble deciding on the title. I went through a few;
- Suffer the little children to come unto Me
- Gently Weeps (Beatles reference...)
- Cain and Abel
I decided on calling it "Infected" as a reference to a term I hear being used quite often in science fiction movies to describe non-humans or the diseased. Although either of those Biblical titles would have been great too.

"Struggle"....that's a word that's strangely
appropriate for this piece that I haven't
heard mentioned before..
Nice!!

PS
I need to correct myself -- solely for my sake... life is not always living happily ever after HERE on earth... and since I am a believer (in God) -- I believe some people might derisively call heaven "The Pie in the sky" - -- only in heaven is happily ever after forever and ever always abiding...

I heard of you from Randy Hand, a good friend of mine. Your sculpts are stunning, very original and one of a kind. You are an amazing sculptor and I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Oh thanks David....I really appreciate your kindness.
I don't consider myself to be technically good at
what I do, but I do try to strive for originality
whenever I can.....so thanks again.

This should be a Daily Deviation too, it Β΄s shocking, but with so many babies dying and sick (HIV and Aids and lots of other virusses) this is a deviation with a painfull truth in it.
π: 0 β©: 2
thanks a lot for the insightful comment.
You've managed to touch upon one of the
many aspects I had wanted to communicate
with this piece....but it's more than just
the idea of babies in harm...
thanks as well for favouriting this piece.
oh and I think many will disagree with your
Daily Deviation sentiment, but I appreciate
your kind thoughts.
take care....drive safely

You Β΄re very welcome, i really love it as much as it shocks me. But that does get the message out in the open. Take care yourself too, will ya.

Ooh, btw you used "iinfected" and i would personally say "INFECTED", it gives a more threatening sound to it.

oh thanks, dear...
Im glad you like the description too. I often wonder
how much of my concepts would people understand if I
were to omit any description. I choose to be slightly
vague instead..
oh and let me take this opportunity to congratulate
you on your recent DD...
I saw it when it was selected but I didn't want
to flood you with more messages then you already had.
So congratulations, dear!!
Thanks again for the comment.
and thanks for favouriting as well..

Oh my! That is different! Entering the realm of macabre and never returning....
Excellent model
π: 0 β©: 1
hmm what do you think happens if something
dives too far into macabre??
Do you think it ever comes full circle back
into the realm of "beauty"??
You bring up some interesting imagery with
that never returning statement, because I've
never intended this piece to be that dark..
...and it makes me wonder if I fully achieved
what I set out to do.
thanks for the comment!!

haha thanks...
...and I find it hilarious that
you used the word "sick"....
take care...drive safely
π: 0 β©: 1
why does it suprise you? i meant it as awesome 
π: 0 β©: 1
haha it doesn't surprise me...
...I just find it very appropriate, since
people use "sick" in many ways. There's
an ironic duality to the word that I love.
....a fitting oxymoron...

Cheers

Thanks, Manon...
and thanks for favouriting it as well.
It's always great to hear the opinion of
a person with a different method and work
ethic than myself. I gives me a greater
perspective on the world...
It's always appreciated, my friend..
...and Im glad you like the concept.
take care..
