Waiting for inspiration

Waiting for inspiration The air in a waiting room carries a specific kind of weight, a density that seems to swallow sound. For centuries, artists have tried to capture this heavy, invisible presence. I think of Honoré Daumier , who portrayed the slumped, weary resignation of third-class travellers. He understood that waiting wasn't just sitting; it was an endurance sport. I see that same heavy air, but my era is electrified. The figure on the left isn't just sitting; they are anchored against a storm of data. Their head is buried in their hands, face half-hidden as if they're trying to crawl inside their own mind to escape the silence. The thick, aggressive slashes of orange and gold overhead resemble a visual scream, capturing that internal chaos where your thoughts race at a hundred miles an hour while your body is stuck in a plastic chair. The green glow on their skin adds a cold, modern tension, making the whole scene feel like a pulse vibrating beneath a still surface...

EggHead Black has a character - workplace psychopath

-



Back doesn't change workplaces that often.

His power is in his immediate workplace experience. When required Back gets into another workplace via association. Someone in power always owes Back. Back has a network of power friends. When in a tight situation Back can rely on 'the friends'. Back has more enemies than friends, however the enemies are disorganized as a network of power, they change positions and they know that they cannot contest Back without bullet proof evidence. Back knows who has networked power and who doesn't.

Back enjoys the permanence of middle management within the public service. Back has no interest in holding an executive management position. These positions require more effort to maintain tenure and are open to attack by similar radicals. As a young leader Back attempted to hold an executive position but could not manage support. There was too much work involved in the tendering of support. Within middle management Back has fewer to content with and can fire shots into the executive knowing this would assist his standing. Back loves the power of dis-creditation. Back is excited when he can engineer a fight (without direct involvement). Back gains satisfaction when a leader is dismantled.
Back is full aware that most are not happy with their jobs and their state of being. Back exploits this vulnerability with ease. Black engineers conflict, isolationism and victimization. As a leader in middle management Black offloads responsibility to executive management.



Back is a social extrovert but only within workplace gatherings. Back will dominate the lunch room by instigating racial, sexual and pro-conservative inflammatory statements. Back will enable the like-minded to speak white ant executive decisions via whisper leaking . Back will not attend any work related social gatherings that are off the workplace. Back knows where power resides and where power and prestige is held - that is on the work-floor.

Back is aggressive. Back will openly criticize 'the identified' weak and soft. Back has no empathy for his victims. Satisfaction can be gained by enabling someone to fall from status. Tough words and tough language is Back's mantra.
Back has no visionary goals. Back can only refer to the past. Back is a danger for organizations that are struggling. Organizations that need innovative action for their survival can be dismantled by Back. Once Black is identified Black is then moved onto another organization that has problems. Back builds power by enacting the disgruntled, static and burned out worker. Back is a leader of zombies who have no other passion for life but destruction of any leader who may challenge their role in the organization.

My Alien Plasma

  My Alien Plasma I made two digital artworks, each with a different approach. The first, Alien Plasma Neo, uses advanced digital editing to show a highly detailed energy being. The second, Plasma Alien, is a gestural painting that focuses on raw emotion. My interest in the 'energy being' theme comes from a lifelong curiosity about forces and life forms beyond what we usually see. I find energies and unseen phenomena fascinating because they represent transformation, vitality, and the mystery at the centre of my creativity. I want to explore how to visually convey inner power and life force, using both digital tools and painting techniques. I like experimenting with different tools to change an artwork. Comparing these two pieces shows how my intent shifts, much as a traditional artist might try out new media and methods. Alien Plasma Neo My first piece, Alien Plasma Neo, was all about hyper-definition and symmetry. I wanted to show this being at its highest energy, even down t...

Drifting Clouds

  Drifting Clouds between Hong Kong and Guangzhou When I was suspended in that atmospheric corridor between Hong Kong and Guangzhou, I was struck by how the sky felt like a turbulent yet tender expanse. I wanted my watercolour strokes to blend and blur on the paper, mimicking the ever-shifting weather patterns of the region. That is of moisture-laden clouds dissolve effortlessly into brilliant, open patches of blue. For me, this piece is an impressionistic echo of that flight. I was trying to capture that fleeting, weightless moment of looking out into a vast horizon, right when the heavens feel both endlessly deep and close enough to touch.
