FOOD, FAMILY, FRIENDS

Food, Family, Friends make a nice combination for a holiday gathering. Here we have a colorful arrangement of pizza toppings befitting a delicious meal, with hues hinting of the holidays.

       I WISH ALL OF YOU A SAFE & HAPPY HOLIDAY AND MAY THE NEW YEAR BRING YOU PEACE AND PROSPERITY

 ----  Just a reminder that my book: "Marine Tigers: A NewyoRican Story" is available at Amazon.com - Free sample pages available. It will make some reader a Great gift.

I'M ONLY A CAT!

       I wonder why this weirdly varied food group is making a fuss over a cat? Could it be because he's of the same food group as one of them? I found him in the same group as the colorful guy reaching for him from the right. Geeze! It's good to know we're not like them.

READY FOR SCREENING

These guys are ready for screening...or attack!...eh, yeah, or maybe photos. I can't make up my mind.
     Although it looks like I may have a mutiny on my hands; at least in a food fight of sorts.

NOTHING BUT FRIENDS

When I first saw this Supreme pizza I thought: "Wow. What a colorful array of toppings." This  certainly wasn't the first time I'd seen a Supreme pizza with all those tasty green, red and yellow peppers, black olives, pepperoni and sausage. They always make my mouth water. Then I began to look at it from a pareidolic perspective. That's when I spotted my first character. I began cutting from  right to left, as I discovered the round head and colorful shirt that led me to the next character, then another, and finally the last guy who appeared to be leaving. I managed to catch up with him just in time. His attention was somewhere else, but luckily his partner caught hold of him just in time for me to bring him into the composition with the others.

Etsy Opening Of My Shop: PareidoliaOriginals!

ANNOUNCING MY GRAND OPENING

          This is your invitation to my new store where I'll be offering my art works for sale at Etsy.com. The name of my shop is: PareidoliaOriginals.  ----  Right now there are ten pieces at reasonable prices.
          They are original works, so when they're gone only copies will be available of those.
          But, no worry, when those are gone I'll place more originals for varied tastes. Thank you all for visiting my blog. ----  And again I invite you to my shop. Feel free to browse.

 We're all hi-fivin' it now that I have my own shop on Etsy.com! Come visit us. And you can order any piece of art that you like from PareidoliaOriginals.

TO EACH HIS OWN

          I hope you'll enjoy this one as well as all of the entries. Feel free to comment. These guys each seemed so unique, I thought it a good opportunity to show you how my characters and subjects come about. I want to stress to you an important aspect of my pareidolic art that I'm afraid may be getting lost on some viewers: The fact that I do Not mark, paint, draw or in any way alter the images I find within the illustrations on the packaging. I simply cut what I see.
          If you look closely at the bowls above you can trace the cuts that brought the characters to life. I think if you do that, you'll get a better idea of what I do and how I do it. I encourage you to try it with your own food package illustration. I feel satisfaction in finding art that would otherwise be lost; and what a waste that would be. I find the challenge fun and gratifying.
