TMC's art page

This is a blog for sharing a series of visual images that I have created. I do not claim to be a professional artist, but I enjoy creating within visual media. The initial posts will be works created using the Microsft Paint program. It will include both sketches and altered (photographic) images, and photocollages; in some cases, it will incorporate image materials found using Google Images. Later, I will share some original photographic images.

Charles Manson


Perhaps I am guilty of a cliche in giving the leader of the Manson Family, a face of evil, demonic reddened eyes. Be that as it may, this also allowed me to experiment with color and to contrast the black and white of this well established image of the death cult leader with a kind of technocolor dreamcoat.

On a related note, I read the book Helter Skelter a few summers ago, and it is a great read. The case of the Manson family is endlessly fascinating. I intend, at some point, to read Ed Sander's book The Family.
