Well Zaadzsters even though, I am a Master's Candidate in the Transformative Art program at John F. Kennedy University, I am merely a student. I am full of folly and sometimes inept or inane aspiring to become an adept. I am merely the vessel that channels this Art that one can...and yes, may witness viewing My Photos here at cemoore.zaadz.com.
My Cell Phone Photos are just that, pictures as seen through my phone's lens. The trick for proper viewing of all the photos is to use the photo enlargement. The drawings are tiny. These small images have been scanned or photographed at maximum expansion. Otherwise click on the photo then, click the blue highlighted details and comments text located below the image. This should reopen all my pictures larger. The close-up view of the Berkeley Hills photo has an amazing perspective that is San Francisco, which can be seen this way only.
The 3x3 inches 13 Month Calendar images are part of a larger series of 72 drawings. This series of drawings are visual diagrams examining: The Latin alphabet, The Number 13, The Calendar, The Elements, The Directions and The Planets. It has taken four years to complete these drawings. The beginning of May 2007, I finished them completely. My intent and current creative energy is to compose a handmade book that I will self produce and conduct direct sales. The numbered amount of drawings lends itself to divination. Thus, I am considering fabricating cards similar to tarot, as well. The drawing titled Decapitation: Beheading Jim Crow is the book's watermark. The Book is titled The Book of Logos: Dispelling the Myth.
The New Work Graduate School images are my latest pieces. The last three are such because I broke outside my standard of three by three inches, which was exclusively the scale I drew within for two years prior to attending JFKU. These three drawings are all twelve by twelve inches. Jewel Tara is the only drawing of the three 12x12 inches images in my possession. The other two are in the collections of private parties. The rectangular collage was made during a class with Kaleo Ching and Elise Dirlam Ching. The scale is completely opposite of the 3x3's. This piece is three feet by five feet. There are so many things rotating the five Chinese Elements: Metal, Water, Earth, Wood and Fire. The 12x12 close up of the center gives the viewer just a taste. It is a difficult piece to photograph because of the scale. Behind my bed, this massive collage hovers expanding my "dreamtime."
***** I just expanded this Photo Album adding nine NEW pieces. Five of these drawings are Sri Yantras. The Sri Yantra form represents the Cosmos of Creation. To meditate upon this image and it's form is literally to center returning home. All nine additions use brown handmade paper, a sketchbook made in Kenya. My friend gave me the book as a gift after I completed the goal of my 72 drawings. The brown paper emphasizes my drawing of Leda and the Swan. Can viewers decode my DaVinci? Or is it to far fetched to state that I look like Shakespeare in my Self Portrait Age 11? Amma is the translation of the Dogon's first being. This was the first drawing in the sketchbook which I made on Mother's Day this year.
The Jewelry pieces I have selected I believe are some of the most unusual pieces of jewelry that I have made. The Labyrinth's Path a 1950 silver quarter is not wearable. However, jewelry is a token. As a token, this renewed status is the defacing of my coin. Free Time Space Key: Sundial Ring is just that a wearable devise that tells time. One can see there are three pieces that assemble together composing as an ornate cock's tail of a ring. The unique wearable trait of these pieces is: that they can be worn together or with a piece of leather thong fabricate a bracelet or necklace. The tapered circle can be worn as a dangling hoop earring ornament.
The painting pictured above is made by me, as well. Truly it represents the newest direction of my Art work. (Although, the 9 brown paper additions are the latest. These drawings have only been seen by a few. Thus, they are truly the newest. Note: this artisitic plea has been modified. However, the above painting can only been seen reading this blog. It is not included in any of my photos or albums). Sumi ink and purple watercolor crayon on 5x7 inches of sized watercolor paper. The Chinese symbol is the character for Ambition. The red chop is of a monkey which represents friendship, intelligence and an open heart. The painting was made using my conscious chi and subconscious literal ink stains.
The intent with my art is to challenge what we think we know. I did not necessarily go and seek all that I am presenting here. Surprisingly, the images unfolded themselves to me...Truthfully, I don't know how I made and thus copied the DaVinci's in my work because that isn’t tracing paper that was used folks. I drew the drawings with my naked eye. My work has many things to say, my words barely do the conversation justice.
Zaadz members and friends please, feel free to add comments, please I am requesting your friendship appreciating any Art. It is not about me or numbers. Perhaps an email regarding any thoughts and or feelings. This is an artist's desperate plea. My humblest gratitude is extended to all readers sending many thanks. Please view my page and see more Art!!! I have added three more pictures that are not mentioned in this blog.

Mmm, yes I just saw The Riddle, Death Proof, The Brave One and Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon...online. Okay, The Brave One I missed the last part but I saw enough to make me wanna buy a pair of Naot's and a 9mm. Oops, I'm just kiddin'. But, Quentin seriously took don't mess with a crazed woman (girl clique) to the next level. His last three movies have been praising pussy if you ask me. I thank Gawd, I have one! Yep,...oh and ATHFC that was home schooling stuff. We gotta make an animation film. And The Riddle was amazing, as they say in England, "Cunningly, clever!"
