Born in Ohio 1949 and raised in the Southwest, he attended Arizona State University on a scholarship and was majoring in fine arts with a minor in dramatic arts when he was drafted. In Vietnam, his first professional pieces were pencil portraits of fellow soldiers, which were sent to loved ones back home. After returning from military duty, he attended the Brooks Institute of Fine Art in Santa Barbara, California.

Truth Coming Out of Her Well to Shame Mankind, 1896 by Jean-Léon Gérôme
I’ve been thinking a lot about it and this is literally the best title of anything
so I guess it was some ancient Greek who said “truth lives at the bottom of a well” and I don’t know what he meant or why it stuck, but I’ve seen a lot of 19th-century references to it (because people always love showing off how much they know about stuff)
but I like this because imagine how fucking pissed off you would be if you lived at the bottom of a well in the first place, but then you had to climb all the way out of it somehow because humans were such unbelievable assholes that you were forced to yell at them in person
Hungarian photographer Flóra Borsihas made a name for herself with exceedingly clever photo manipulations. Like her imaginative Photoshop In Real Life, she’s turned the lens on herself this time for a series of portraits that replace one of her eyes with that of an animal. She calls it Animeyed.
In each image Borsi pairs herself perfectly with her chosen animal, changing her appearance to match its features and behavior. The alignment of the animal’s eye over hers is so perfect it’s easy to see both faces in one glance. For more check out her
