A photo collage featuring a young dancer clinging to a window sill. Her face is down, shielded from the horrors of the world. Flames engulf the frame. The mood is melancholy and a little hopeless.
An Official “The Apprentice” Donal Trump doll sits on a red lip couch with a much younger-looking Skipper doll. Cigarettes, alcohol, cocaine, gifts from Victoria’s Secret and other accoutrements are scattered around the scene. Trump is undressed enough to expose his micro-penis and is pushing Skipper’s head down toward it, while Rembrandt’s “The Abduction of Ganymede” hangs over the scene in the background. “Unredacted” by #artist #photographer Breonny Lee.
A composite of multiple layered photographs. This piece includes an antique composite baby doll with a sign pointing to her mouth that reads “Meth Sold There.” A skull rests on the baby doll’s tongue, while a sinister figure lingers on the left edge of the frame. Additional texture and layers create a sense of unease. The words, “as long as you have a young and beautiful piece of ass” crawl along the bottom edge. Another semi-nude baby doll anchors the bottom right of the image, her dress falling down revealing the top of her bum drives the point home. The piece leaves the viewer with a sense of unease as the artist grapples with difficult sentiments in a world where nothing makes sense right now as geopolitical tensions rise and our own homegrown pedophile in chief throws gasoline on the proverbial fire.
A surreal, dreamscape photographic collage made from multiple images overlaid. A woman looks off into the distance while a stairway climbs over her shoulder, leading to a doorway. The door opens to a nebulous dark: maybe clouds, maybe a starburst, maybe a black hole, maybe nothing. Grounding and background elements include brick work, lavender clouds, sprawling vines, a “one way” street sign, and pink flowers.
A surreal, dreamscape photographic collage made from multiple images overlaid. A woman looks off into the distance while a stairway climbs over her shoulder, leading to a doorway. The door opens to a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. Grounding and background elements include brick work, lavender clouds, sprawling vines, a “one way” street sign, and pink flowers.
Young ballerinas in long, pale blue gowns dance around the stage. The flurry of flowing skirts dominates the frame. A double exposure outlines the shape of the dancers, like hazy spirits floating larger than life across the scene.
The sun sets over Kings Creek Country Club golf course, near Cedar Creek Lake in east Texas. Pink and orange sunlight rolls across the hills and settles in the pond, while a storybook rock bridge gently rises over the water. The grass needs to be mowed; it tickles the edge of the frame, inviting the viewer in for an evening stroll. #sunset #landscape #iPhoneography
Selfie in a window reflection in Tucumcari, New Mexico. Clutching my Yashica-D twin lens and a Barbie doll in my right hand, while balancing a red iPhone in the left. The Blue Swallow Motel lights up in the background. Feeling extra touristy in my bright blue Route 66 t-shirt I picked up because I didn’t pack enough for the trip. 💁🏻‍♀️ Really enjoying it here on BlueSky in a way I haven’t since MySpace. Looking forward to “meeting” more of you!
An American flag waves proudly as Downtown Dallas towers in the background on a sunny afternoon. The bright blue sky is filled with cheerful white clouds. Snapped from a car window facing north while passing into “the canyon” (the part of I-30 depressed below street level running south of Downtown.)
This is a surreal dreamscape collage created on iPhone. A woman in a yellow dress walks off toward the left. She is on a door. We do not know where the door leads. In the foreground, a streetlamp competes for attention, while a lone, fluffy cloud floats above and to the right. Deep blues and purples imbue a pensive tone.
The sun glows from behind fluffy, smoky white clouds, while the deep, blue sky anchors the frame.
The view from the center of the Historical Edwards Crossing Bridge in Nevada City, California. Looking over the edge, timber slats peek up from the bottom of the photograph. The crystal turquoise water of the South Yuba River rushes under the bridge, winding through large, granite rock slabs that make up much of the river bank.
A tiny building made of rock and colored glass brick peeks through a sunflower patch. The roof is completely gone, burned up in a fire.
A photographic collage comprised of multiple layers. At the center is an eye, framed inside a window. Eyelashes interwoven with vines and pink blossoms surround the edges. A small boy sits at a bistro table looking lost. A man stares at the viewer, his eyes hidden by sunglasses. He looks impatient.
A bright blue, homemade, life-size Cookie Monster doll from Jim Henson’s “Sesame Street” casually munches on Barbie and her kid sister, Skipper.
Blue skies and fluffy white clouds frame a tar black telephone pole reaching heavenward. A small, hand painted wooden sign nailed to the pole reads, “THIS IS NOWHERE” in bold, black letters.
A multi-layer photographic collage featuring a portrait of a young girl with flowers covering her eyes as clouds play across the image in warm hues of red and orange.
Blue skies peek through a domed window as the framing from the window panes cast shadows against the wall. A tiny butterfly, a Giant Swallowtail, casts a tiny shadow as it flutters above the window.
The sun sets off the coast in Malibu, California near Point Dume. A wave crashes off the rocks making a big splash right in front of the camera. A rainbow lens flare completes the vibrant scene.
A portrait of Bob Crawford, of Deep Ellum legend. Bob is wearing a yellow and blue striped polo shirt, black suspenders, and a straw fedora, with a mischievous grin and a sly twinkle in his eye. To learn about Bob’s incredible life story, watch “His Name is Bob”, available for streaming in all the usual places.
Abandoned books disintegrate, scattered on bookshelves beneath a roof collapsing in an abandoned bookstore in Redford, Texas.
An abandoned patio in Redford, Texas. Concrete benches tilt askew beneath a patchwork of roof slats. Most of the roof has broken away and blue skies break through overhead casting long shadows on the ground. Wrought iron window bars hide the contents of what was once a bookstore.
The Trinity River brims after recent rains. The forest encroaches on the banks of the river as the sun sets on the left side of the frame.
Ballerinas pose at the pier, silhouettes against the sky as the storm rolls in. Photographed outside the Bath House Cultural Center on White Rock Lake in Dallas, Texas.
This is a collage featuring the Forest Theatre in south Dallas overlaid with images of ballerinas and florals in pinks and blues. The marquee reads, “Entire block for sale.”
A black and white photograph of a restaurant table after dinner. Light shines through water glasses casting crystalline shadows on the table. Salt and pepper shakers, a knife, a dirty napkin, a pair of glasses, and the check complete the scene.
A woman’s hand covers her face. Her eyes are closed. The branches and leaves of trees trace lines across the whole picture. Shades of red evoke feelings of longing.
The sun sets behind the trees near Cedar Creek Lake in east Texas.
The road leading out of Big Bend National Park. The sun sets behind mountains in the distance. Scattered clouds linger overhead after the storm has passed.
Deep indigo clouds reach toward the heavens over a still pond. Golden light peeks over the horizon in the moments before dawn, somewhere in west Texas.
Barbie and Ken embrace for a kiss, silhouetted with dreamy purple and yellow light and clouds overlaying the scene.
Close up of a blue eye reflecting silhouettes of people talking. A tear drops from the corner of the eye. In the style of surreal photo collage.
“The Sky is Blue” A bird takes flight over downtown Austin, Texas. Bright blue and orange clouds obscure a glistening cityscape. This collage is three iPhone photographs layered together, made with ImageBlender and Lightroom. From the #SpaceBetweenDreams series by artist, Breonny Lee.
