YO HO HO by mikequigley

YO HO HO / !St. Nicholas was born in 280 AD, in Patara, a city of Lycia, in Asia Minor. He became the gift giver of Myra. His gifts were given late at night, so that the gift giver’s identity would remain a secret. St Nicholas was eventually named the patron saint of children, sailors, Russia and Greece. St. Nicholas was a Christian priest, who later became a bishop. He was a rich person, and traveled the country helping people, giving gifts of money and other presents. St. Nicholas did not like to be seen when he gave away presents, so the children of the day were told to go to sleep quickly or he would not come! Nothing has changed and Santa Claus will not arrive this Christmas unless the children go to sleep early. A famous story about St. Nicholas, is about a poor man who had no money to give to his three daughters on their wedding day. St Nick dropped bags of gold into the stockings which the girls had left to dry by the fire. The sisters found the gold and ever since, children have hung up stockings on Christmas Eve hoping that they will be filled with presents by Christmas morning. Despite being quite young Nicholas had earned a reputation for kindliness and wisdom. In the year 303, the Roman emperor Diocletian commanded all the citizens of the Roman Empire, which included Asia Minor, to worship him as a god. By 450, churches in Asia Minor and Greece were being named in honor of him. By 800, he was officially recognized as the a saint by the Eastern Catholic Church. In the 1200s, December sixth began to be celebrated as Bishop Nicholas Day in France. By end of the 1400s, St Nicholas was the third most beloved religious figure, after Jesus and Mary. There were more than 2000 chapels and monasteries named after him. In the 1500s people in England stopped worshipping St Nicholas and favored more another gift giving figure Father Christmas. Over the centuries, St. Nicholas’ popularity grew, and many people in Europe made up new stories that showed his concern for children. The name Santa Claus was derived from the Dutch Sinter Klass pronunciation of St. Nicholas. Early Dutch settlers in New York (once called New Amsterdam) brought their traditions of St Nicholas. As children from other countries tried to pronounce Sinter Klass, this soon became Santa Klass, which was settled as Santa Claus. The old bishop’s cloak with mitre, jewelled gloves and crozier were soon replaced with his red suit and clothing seen in other modern images.!

Pyramid Power by ArtByDrew

Built so the earth would touch the sky / Born from slaves sweat and stone supply / Four sides to one point upon high / A structure where dead kings would lie / / Looks like a square, four-sided cone / As pyramid this shape is known / And from it urban myths have grown / Of mystic powers to death postpone / / Powers confused with gauze and tape / Live not within a pyramid’s drape / This power lies in love not shape / For only love can death escape / / This fractal artwork was inspired by the urban legend of pyramid power. The urban legend states that anything kept beneath the footprint of a pyramid will be preserved much longer than it would under natural circumstances. The artwork combines this pyramid power with the greatest power of all, and that is the power of love. In other words, the power of love being strengthened and preserved by the power of the pyramid. Lost yet?... LOL. / / This was created in Apophysis 3D Hack. The original is 4800×4800 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. The gradient was created in Apomap, a gradient editor commonly used with Apopyhsis. / /

Old man 'o the Forest... by valzart

...By day the old man of the forest lives in the tree, but at night when all is hushed and silent he becomes the tree. Springing to life with a mighty yawn and stretch he shakes the leaves from his hair and the dirt from his roots. Then he walks…rustling and gliding through the forest on his nightly patrol, making sure all is well within his hidden world…....Hush! if you sit very quietly and don’t move you might hear him ….Enchantedforest..... I sketched the face on a raster background layer on my Tablet, then merged it onto a macro of bark then layered a vector for the graphics in Corel picture tube tool then cloned the bark over the first image + merged them all together + color filled+ enhanced lighting in Corel/Photoshop..

Brown shirts blue bowls and 2 smokes by Philip Rogan

Buddies, Fi and Eoin have a fag each after a bowl of hot chocolate while somehow managing to wear matching brown t-shirts and not, in fact, be working in the same store or cool habitat type shop. In fact this was taken outside Sarah’s house in Tipperarry in the Summer of 2002 (or maybe it was 2001?).

Rogue Rolo by ArtByDrew

Unwrapped from golden foil band / Soon to my mouth is what I’d planned / But Rolo bounced out of my hand / I did not see where it did land / / I looked beside, I looked below / Where Rolo went I did not know / Despite my effort, did not show / Frustration won, I let it go / / Arose from search where I had knelled / To find Rolo that was concealed / New Rolo from it’s band I peeled / Knew old one would soon be revealed / / Soon old Rolo found me instead / Under my foot where I did tread / Round no more and flatly spread / I knew this Rolo was now dead / / Beneath my foot where it was ground / Symmetry lost, no longer round / I gazed at Rolo, thoughts profound / As beauty in it’s death I found / / I saw Rolo’s caramel unfurl / In gracious curves and random swirl / And mixed with melted chocolate curl / No longer dead, but golden pearl / / This fractal artwork was inspired by a Rolo that escaped and was then found the hard way… by stepping on it. It symbolizes how an object of symmetry and order can quickly become one of chaos. It also shows how something beautiful can become something else just as beautiful even when so different from it’s origin. Change is the only true constant in our universe… and hopefully chocolate. / / Now that I’m done waxing philosophical, doesn’t it just make you lick your lips and want to grab a bag of your own favorite chocolate caramel treats! / / This was created in ChaosPro. The original is 6000×4800 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. The gradient was created with the gradient editor that comes bundled with ChaosPro. Because the original is so large and difficult to see over the internet, I have included a couple of detail cutaways below. The first cutaway is of the center of the artwork. The second cutaway is of the ‘caramel’ blob in the upper right of the artwork. / / / / / /
