This is my face no 10 for Ayala's 29 Faces in February challenge...
learned some not so nice stuff about online "relationships" this week. We all know about cyber bullying with kids, but come on folks...this shouldn't be happening amongst grown ups!!
I do not understand why people use alias's or multiple blogs to intimidate and try to control others...I am exactly who I am, my email address is on my blog clear to see so that if I ever offend anyone they can contact me directly. I know it's fun to create a new persona to separate yourself from the real world, but once you befriend some one, even online, you should be open and truthful with them.
This image represents someone who is lurking in the shadows....waiting for a chance to jump out and frighten or shock others around them. Please don't be that person!! I mean...he looks innocent enough, but is it really a he ? We only have the picture to go by.
I made this picture using the magazine photo for a template method, so just showing before and after pics :D
In between, layers of watercolour/guache/pencil blocks/stabillo pencil
So I am thankful this week that I have a Goddess who protects me from duplicity in others, and online friends who are exactly who they claim to be...you really do Rock my little World :D

Great image Gina and I'm in total agreement about cyber bullying and hiding your identity.
ReplyDeleteI too am who I say I am..and a fellow Rockette who appreciates the friendship shared amongst our group.
Hugs xx
Love your image Gina and also agree totally about cyber bullying. Some people have too much time on their hands and need to get a life!
ReplyDeleteHugs
I'm so sorry, Gina. Life is not always what it seems or what we want it to be is it. Take care ... sending love and light. xoDonna
ReplyDeleteYes, certainly a magnificent portrait, beautiful painting. Greetings.
ReplyDeleteI love how you channeled your experience into your art...very cool. I had a disturbing exchange with someone on Fb yesterday, but came away with a better understanding of what I need to focus on. I know that I must be what I wish to create in the world, and should use my energy wisely. My angels are telling me that the inner and outer are not separate things, and that what I give my energy to will continue to be.
ReplyDeleteGuess I got off on a tangent, lol! Its a wonderful portrait, and a great way to move through the experience and release it =) Kathryn
Glad you came out of the experience with positive energy :D

There are some very strange folks out there - whats wrong with being kind and treating people nicely? I love your artwork and think how you have related this to cyber Bullying is brilliant. i love stopping by your blog I bet you cant guess which song ops into my head each time I do!!!
ReplyDelete"You make me feel like a natural woman" ?
Delete"Hey hey We're the Monkees"?
"Mad dog and englishmen" ? Am I close? hahahaha :D XXX
I'm so sorry you had this bad experience. It is a little disconcerting sometimes to think anyone out there has the ability to visit us online.
ReplyDeleteI like this portrait very much! The way you have shadowed one side of his face plays up the fact that he may or may not be what he claims to be.
I also loved the composition you have done with photography and pieces of torn paper.
ReplyDeleteGina, I believe deeply your soul can only be given away never taken, we are all untouchable, truth always comes out...
ReplyDeletesee you for real sooon,

I find it incredible that adults would stoop so low to indulge in cyber bullying. Incredible and so very sad. I'm sorry you've experienced this.
ReplyDeleteYour page illustrates your feelings brilliantly.
Oh I'm so sorry to read this Gina. Bullying in any form is horrible and scary and I just plain don't get it. We think we leave it behind when we leave school. Wishful thinking eh?
ReplyDeleteYour page is amazing, love the eeriness to it.
I don't get this bunch, but I've experienced them. Not that long ago I stopped following someone's blog. The person wasn't being mean to me, but she would terrible comments on other people's sites. I don't need that in my life. Bullying is crap, and like Carmen said, scary. I wish it wasn't so prevalent.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I noticed Magaly...a person who was nice as pie to some, yet horrible to those who didn't kiss ass...:D
DeleteI whole heartedly agree with the replies above - cyber bullying should never be allowed no matter what - never understand how an adult can do such a thing!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a beautiful and blessed weekend and I too am glad you have a Goddess by your side
Much hugs
