Nel 2008 Alexander McQueen incaricò il fotografo Nick Waplington di documentare la sua ultima collezione Autunno 2009 dall’inizio fino all’ingresso in passerella. La collezione da lui denominata The Horn of Plenty [Cornucopia] vede McQueen rivisitare l’archivio costruito in quindici anni di lavoro e riutilizzarlo in una nuova collezione. Si trattava in effetti di una sua personale ricognizione, in cui il set era costituito di specchi rotti e di un mucchio gigantesco di resti degli allestimenti di show precedenti. Secondo i critici questa modalità rifletteva il sentire di McQueen nei confronti del fashion system e del suo modo di obbligare i designer a essere geni creativi, contemporaneamente relegando ogni collezione nel cestino della spazzatura della storia non appena effettuata la vendita. A Waplington fu garantita una facilità di accesso senza precedenti a McQueen e al suo staff, compresa Sarah Burton, attuale direttore creativo del marchio. Ogni fase del processo creativo è documentata, ma la cosa più interessante è che il layout del libro è stato disegnato da McQueen in persona, che si servì di immagini fissate su bacheche. Il libro era pronto per la pubblicazione quando McQueen morì e il libro rimase in sospeso fino a ora. Il libro viene pubblicato esattamente come lo aveva impaginato McQueen, come tributo alla sua personalissima collezione. Nick Waplington è un artista che lavora con la fotografia, la pittura e la scultura. I suoi lavori sono conservati in molte importanti collezioni nel mondo, tra cui al MoMA, a New York, e alla Tate Gallery, a Londra.

My Personal Savior

Chapter 4- Reliving the Past

He entered the room after her, before closing the door behind him. When he turned around, he raised a brow when he saw her take off her jacket. It took him a moment before his eyes trailed to the tattoo on her arm. Recognition flashed in his eyes, before he removed Lucille from his shoulder, propping her up beside the couch. He hardly ever set her down, but he didn't feel like he needed to be threatening. At least, not to Raven. "Well, I'll be damned. It is you." His smile cracked into a genuine one, relieved to see his old friend alive. All of his doubts and worries about her immediately subsided, and a heavy weight lifted off of his chest. "I was starting to think I'd never see you again."

Raven turns around and smiles, and tears are in her eyes a bit "Yeah it's me, Negan... I thought I never you again either for the longest time thought were dead but I tried every day to find you. I'm glad you're alive and doing well, actually... leading a group. I'm sorry I didn't reveal myself to you outside. I just wanted us to reunite in private and talk in private... I also wanted to umm... say I'm sorry for leaving without saying a word. I felt guilty for leaving, and I still do... all this time, I thought you would be angry or hate me." She says softly, looking down a little, holding her arms crossed over her chest.

Negan noticed her tears, empathy flashing in his eyes for a moment. He wanted to offer her a hug for comfort, but he wasn't sure. Not only because of his image but also because of all the time that had passed between them. Of course, if she were the one to make the move, then he wouldn't push her away. When she expressed her worry about Negan's death, he couldn't help but grin. "I'm not dying until I am damn good and ready, I can promise you that, and it's fine. Honestly, speaking like this is better than if we were to speak publicly. We'd be interrupted constantly." As she spoke of her worry that he'd hate her, his smile faded a little. "Raven, I don't hate you at all. With everything that was happening, I don't blame you for going your own way. If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't have waited around for the shit show either." He walked over, gently placing his hand on her shoulder in an attempt to show some form of comfort. "I don't care about what happened back there. I'm just glad that you were able to pioneer through this messed up world." A smile began to tug on the corners of his lips once more, as he gave a soft chuckle, "Of course, I don't know what I was expecting. You've been the strongest fighter I've ever met to this day."

Raven smiles softly with tears running down her cheek she embraces him tightly suddenly. Negan and Lucille were the only people who cared bout her and were there for her when she needed someone but she wasn't there for him or Lucille as soon as Lucille found out bout her cancer she also on the same day before Negan got home later that night if she was having affair with Negan that she knew he was having but it wasn't with her. She told Lucille no she wasn't having an affair and even before Negan got home she took off before she knew it the apocalypse also started. "No Negan it's not okay I should've been there for you and Lucille you were always there for me and I left when you needed someone other than your dying wife." She says

Negan's eyes widened a little from the sudden embrace before he relaxed soon after. He wrapped his arms around her, gently rubbing her back as she cried in an attempt to console her. He had missed her from the moment she left. At first, he felt a little betrayed, but as time went on, that feeling of betrayal wavered. Instead, replaced by a longing to see his old friend again. He had thought of her every single day, but after the loss of Lucille, he began to fear that he had lost Raven as well. At the mention of Lucille's death, a sorrowful look briefly crossed his face. Even though all this time had passed, he still grieved her loss. He tried to convince himself that he had moved on and become stronger from the pain, but the naming of his baseball bat proved otherwise. "Raven, listen to me, it's fine. Besides, I deserved it. I was an asshole to her, and I deserved to deal with it on my own."

Raven looks at him as she frowns and shakes her head "You shouldn't deal with this alone Negan I was your friend and I should've been there for you. And look the reason I left was that I didn't want to get in y'all's way of you guys fixing your marriage and spending as much time together before she passed. And.... Lucille questioned me if we were having an affair but I said no and I knew the whole that you were cheating on her and I didn't want to say anything." She says

He moved away from the hug just enough to meet her gaze. "It's fine, Raven. This world is a real piece of shit. There was nothing you or I could have done to save her. I understand, and we did fix our marriage. When she told me about her cancer, I cut things off with Janine right there and then. I did my best to be a good husband from there on out, but in the end, she died alone. She begged me not to go and I ignored her. I needed to get more treatment for her, but it took longer than I thought, and when I came back. She was already gone." His eyes seemed distant as he recounted the event as if it were playing in his mind like a movie. "When I saw her. I couldn't do it. I couldn't kill her. I knew it wasn't her anymore, but I just couldn't. So I left her alone in that damn house, again."

Raven looks into his eyes and her mind flashes back to when she saw the house being burnt. "That's why your house was on fire. I went back to the house after I went home and I saw it burnt down. I didn't know if you did or if you were stuck in that house with her. Negan I'm so sorry you lost Lucille but I promise you this... I'm not going anywhere ever again. You're stuck with me." She says

Negan brought himself out of his thoughts, before making eye contact with her once more as he listened. "Again, it's fine.." He insisted. Upon what she said last, a small smile appeared on his face. "And I'll be sure to hold you to your word." He spoke in a playfully teasing manner, trying to lighten the mood. He pulled her close once more, his leather jacket creaking as he moved.

Raven smiles and covers her face with his chest as she holds him tightly gripping the back of his jacket. "I missed you so much Negan I'm so glad we are back together again. Like you said I'm not dying till I'm good and ready." She says

Negan gently rested his chin atop her head, his smile still stuck on his face. He was so happy at their reunion, that he nearly resembled a child on Christmas Day. "I missed you too, Raven." Upon her repeating what he said, he couldn't help but chuckle a little bit. "And I'm holding you to that as well."

Raven giggles and smiles "So um how long have you been a leader of this place? How have you been since you lost Lucille?" She asks wondering how he is doing in general or even mentally he seems like he leads this group with fear she doesn't know what all he's been doing but she is glad they see each other again.

Negan furrowed his brows slightly as he thought back to when the Saviors began. He hadn't kept an exact date, but he knew it had been a few years. "I've been in charge. Four and a half years, I believe. Give or take. Originally, Dwight was in charge but he kept getting people killed. I got tired of that shit real quick, so I took over. Then we met another group. The leader was forcing women into prostitution. So, I killed him and merged the groups. We found this place, made it secure, and pretty soon we had people flocking to our doorstep. That's when I decided to call us the Saviors." As she asked about Lucille, a small sigh escaped him. He was still in pain from her loss, but he was convinced that he wasn't. "I'm fine. At first, I felt dead inside, but I'm fine now." He didn't like discussing his mental health, because he feared being seen as weak. He ruled with fear and brutality, he didn't need something getting out that would go against that.

Raven smiles slightly and nods "Well you have to do what you have to survive and protect yourself from others I guess you have always been a protector especially me you were my personal Savior Negan. And you know you can always talk to me you wouldn't look weak if you told me what's wrong or just to talk you know. Oh, I have a great idea for us to catch up, we can catch up over dinner like we used to. You made your world-famous spaghetti, we drank alcohol and talked all night and then..... we ended the night with slow dancing with a song we called our song.... only if you're able to Negan. I don't want to stop you from doing your leader duties." She says

His lips curled into a small grin as she called him her 'Savior.' "Anyone in their right mind would have beat the ever-loving shit out of that guy. I'm not special, and again, I'm fine, but thank you." Negan's smile grew slightly more as she proposed her idea, his eyes brightening a little from excitement. "That sounds like a wonderful idea. I'll need to make sure everything is running smoothly first, then we are free to dance and chat the night away." He gently moved his chin off of the top of her head after a moment, beginning to stir a little as he tried to carefully move away from her grasp.

Raven smiles and lets him go as she nods "Okay that's fine Negan it will give me time to change and get clean up and settle in properly. So if you can help me by leading me to my room and make sure that I won't be disturbed and Negan I will kill someone if they sneak into my room and try to assault me." She says

He gave a smile in return, before moving away to go fetch Lucille. He picked the bat up, and after giving it a little twirl, he rested her back onto his shoulder. "Grand tour, it is." He joked a bit, before opening the door for her so she could leave the room first. "I'll get someone to bring clean clothes to your room, and don't worry. I can guarantee you that shit like that won't happen here, and if it does, I'll take care of it myself."

Raven smiles softly and nods as she grabs her jacket and bag and walks out of the room she looks at him. "I'm glad you will do anything to protect your people. I'm glad I have someone here to trust and who cares about me." She says

He walked out after her, shutting the door and locking it behind him. Even though the people here feared him, it didn't mean that they wouldn't try to steal from him out of sport. Afterward, he placed his attention on her, before returning the smile. "And I'm glad that you feel that way. People look at me like I'm some kind of hellspawn when all I'm doing is trying to keep my people safe." He gestured for her to follow him as he began to walk further into the building. A few saviors glanced over at the two with curiosity as they walked past, but kept going. They knew better than to interrupt him. His smile grew a little more upon what she said, "And I'm glad to have you with us." He spoke

Raven smiles as she follows him she glances over at the people watching them glares at them and then looks up at Negan "So it seems like I'm being stared up a lot by your people whats the deal?" She asks wondering if she really needs to be careful or maybe they question why I don't fear Negan like they do.

He stopped in place after the question, turning to look at her for a moment before his eyes moved to look past her at the Saviors who continued on their way. After a few seconds, he put his attention on her once more. "They're probably wondering why a stranger wanted to be alone with me and why I allowed it." He gave a scoff of amusement and shook his head a little. Afterward, he turned his attention ahead and resumed walking. "But don't you worry, sweetheart? Ain't nobody gonna lay a finger on you here. We have rules, and we stick to them."

Raven smiles and looks at him as she walks. "I'm glad but if they do don't be surprised if you have a few missing men. And are you going to mention to everyone here who I am? I mean it's not like I'm going anywhere." She says as they keep walking and then she hears Negan's name being called she turns and sees a woman with blond hair and a black short dress and heels walk up to them.

Negan smirked a bit, amused by her comment. "I'd rather deal with that myself, but if you have no choice, then fine. Once you're settled in, I'll introduce you to the rest-" He fell silent as he heard his name called. He released a sigh, his brows furrowed in annoyance. He despised being interrupted. Negan turned to look, his fingers impatiently tapping upon Lucille. When he recognized it as one of his wives, he seemed to immediately relax, his frustration vanishing. "Well, hello." He spoke, his grin returning.

Raven looked in confusion she was wondering who this woman was and how his demeanor changed as soon as he saw who it was. "Umm... Negan who's that?" She asks she thinks it's like one of his maids or Cooks but not on how he's acting she feels a bit jealous that she got him in a good mood and took his attention away from her.

SUMMER SUMMER SUMMERTIME

Wow! It feels like summer just arrived and it’s almost already gone. Soon all the kids will be going back to school and the leaves will be changing. For now, we got to deal with the heat & humidity. I’m not complaining too much. However, I would prefer my 70 degree weather and sweaters. Or I would like the nice weather I experienced while I was on vacation out on Cape Cod. Talking about Cape Cod, it was a wonderful & relaxing vacation. I’m sorry Alex couldn’t join because of her unexpected fever. Yet, me & Caroline still enjoyed ourselves. We explored Cambridge/Boston, Mashpee, Martha’s Vineyard, and Provincetown. We had nice beach weather and we ended our last day at the beach watching a beautiful sunset. I can do another staycation.

Starting in September my finances are increasing partly because my living expenses have increased and the student loan pause will end. So traveling abroad will be on pause after 2025. Summer 2025, I’m planning to go to Montego Bay, Jamaica with a group friends. As a good compromise, and somewhat last hooray, I’m looking into staying at an affordable all inclusive resort. I’m debating on whether to invite a big group of people or kind of keep it small to those I know will make an effort in planning this trip & go. I have an year and half to feel the water. Next years trip will either be a mother & daughter trip or a family trip with my brother’s family. Destination: Charleston, South Carolina. I still like the idea of doing a solo trip and rent a treehouse or cabin for myself somewhere like in New Hampshire or Vermont. Just a four day weekend for myself. I enjoy my alone time. I would do this in the Fall. This could give me the peace & silence to do some writing and/or reading. There’s plenty of places in the U.S. I still want to visit but Portland, Oregon is next on my list. Abroad, Amsterdam, the Netherlands and the Democratic Republic of Congo (I have to visit the motherland of my African ancestors).

Circling back to my day to day life…work makes me want to pull my hair out sometimes or just runaway. I don’t believe that it just being the summer is what is leading to burnout, the pressure of the the job along with our sucky safety nets, lack of staff and influx of people in need; cracks my spirit. I’m not feeling hopeless…things just need to get better. We have to open positions: CVPR social worker and Adelante social work advocate (my position but with BWH). With all the extra work I’ve been doing with On-call (acute response), I should be getting compensated more. More money or more PTO. When I discuss what’s been happening at work with others, they tend to ask me what else am I interested doing? I’m still figuring that out myself. It seems like the people I’ve spoken with are satisfied with their current roles after trying one or two other jobs before the current one. Or leaving their current job because they found a better opportunity more exact to what they vision themselves doing in the long run. Or looking for part time work to make extra money as well as fulfill/add to their passion.

Nothing is really poppin for me. Professional goal: LICSW which will take me two years to get. So I’m not really going anywhere anytime soon. If or when I leave BIDMC, I don’t think I want to go to another department or continue to work in a hospital. If I stay in the medical field I would want to work at a community center whether that be a community mental health center or a small community health clinic being a regular social worker. I would love to continue my work with trafficking survivors. The alternative would be working with adolescents and young adults. Casandra said she could see me working with the elderly. Am I becoming my mother LOL. She’s mainly worked with young children and the elderly, but she’s burnt out too. Praying that these positions will be filled soon so I can adjust my schedule to fit my work lifestyle. Two days remote, three days on-site. Mondays: Administrative. Tuesdays & Thursdays: clinical and case management. Wednesdays: Team meetings. Fridays: Acute Response.

I’m still in the process of finding some answers with my physical health. So far, its just been one exam/test after another. At the end, whatever is causing things to change my body, I hope its nothing too serious that I can’t change for the good naturally and I can resolve in a short timeframe. On the upside, my spiritual & mental health is good. Family is family, and I don’t have much to say about that. Until we speak again…

WIP for Puss in Boots AU (CHAPTER 4)

Something for my chapter 4 because it's amazing that everyone (well, few) says that I did a good work for inspiration from Scrooge (2022) and I thought I'd draw something special for someone on Instagram

[lilypadone]

New profile picture and new persona design quincy (quin) Bell!( Update! I realized I have two quins(quincy) so I decided to change thier name to Lue)

[vekshaarts]

Have you ever seen the movie “Mummy” 1976 year made by USSR, France and Romania? If not, you have missed SO MUCH GOOD IMPRESSIONS. It was one of my favorite films in my childhood. By the way it’s the most cheerful films with kids and for kids. Costumes, music, actors, songs, plot - everything is daaaaaamn good!

I used to re-watch it every New Year. So I’ve caught the wave of inspiration and drew one frame in my style.

This one

Here we can see Lydmila Gurchenko as mommy-goat Masha and Michael Boyarsky as Grey Wolf. The best couple in this movie.

I started with rough sketch in grey tones:

Than I’ve made light pencil-styled sketch:

Next one - line art also with pencil brush. I like it more then g-pen.

And finally I’ve made fuul coloring with tone-checking:

Hope, it was interesting )) Enjoy ))

DENY. DEFEND. DEPOSE.

ART WILL ALWAYS BE FOR THE WORKING CLASS.

[seagiri]

when did this happen???

[dustyratt]

-> Shapeless dreams

Here are multiple AI artworks combined together! Just practicing, but the result is quite satisfying to watch except, of course, the small screen resolution (guess who is used too much to 4k!! 💀)

Imposter Syndrome

something I've been working on overcoming lately...... maybe others can relate
