How different are you from any other artists? For instance we will pay you a million dollars for your invisible art. Your invisible art is an instrument to realize your American dream. You belong to same social structure as everyone else, using same money and eating same food. All you want is to over-smart others.
Julie Schenkelberg "Bad Blood"
A visually conventional art but on a deeper level the whole installation sends out a wave of discomfort, reminder of distress, possible destruction, unsettled reality as the very essence of the artwork that was brought to life by the means of someone with major scenic art background.

do not mistake art for porn GIF
There seems to be a downright dark age confusion among people as to what is considered pornography and what is art. There is a very obvious, strong, simple distinction. Pornography is meant to arouse the body, specifically the genital area. Art is meant to arouse the mind, heart, soul. There is no idea or concept behind pornography and its sole purpose is provide instant visual sexual stimulation to the viewer, whereas art serves the sole purpose of making you think, contemplate, use your head in a complex manner that creativity stimulates in us. It would take a lot more effort and imagination to be sexually aroused by a nude work of art, for instance, than a straightforward pornographic image. Art, at its very nature, has no relation to an industry as low as pornography—works of art stand apart from it like a mansion from a mobile home. Only an idiot with an IQ of 20 wouldn’t know the difference. It’s true that art can be as explicit as porn sometimes, but how is that a bad thing if its objective is never to arouse sexually, thus putting an entirely different label on it? If art ever does use porn as a subject, only in an obvious way to make a philosophical point or social statement, to make fun of it or degrade it. Art is creation. Porn is destruction. Polar opposites. Ignorance is the enemy here.
Stelly Richie, Summer Diary Black And White Bugs Love series
I thought I should post one of my more controversial pieces (LOL) I remember watching insect porn as a kid on the discovery channel or some nature program and it left a deep impression on me because it got me wondering: so what makes us more superior to them, aside from size? If we have so much in common with even the tiniest insects and organisms, we are far more primitive than we give ourselves credit for; we do the same things flies do -- something about that thought drove me nuts as a kid... But actually we know nothing about how other creatures see the world, even with all our scientific equipment. They could be 1000 times smarter than us and process the world through numerical algorithms or highly complex visual abilities that would cause our own brains to explode. They're not hard-wired to do things as we believe; they just know exactly what needs to be done and are therefore far superior to us ;

Nina Mukhashvili this is a great image dear, i m telling u sincerelym great macro, mix of sharp and blur good detail
Meg Bennett Recently, some well- respected scientists have agreed on a finding, Black Hole Theory guy among them, that mammals, all mammals, live in a state of conscious awareness like human mammals. Do you suppose that insects do also? I think that what they do not do is make moral judgements about promiscuity for instance, or the occasional male on male coupling, etc. I think you made a profound observation as a child! You must be very bright:-)
David Wimberly I remember being called Four Eyes as a kid, but if this doesn't get the third eye awake one just has no sense of delight in emptiness nor experience!
Stelly Richie I do believe that Meg Bennett! Especially when I'm around them and observe them closely. I often have close encounters with all kinds of insects in the beach area like bees, butterflies, dragonflies, etc., and they sit on me for long periods of time, even during movement, as if knowing somehow I won't harm them the way pigeons know. Once a dying bee clung onto my shirt and didn't want to let go no matter how I tried to shake it off. Even when I brought it to some bushes and placed it there, it kept flying back on me as if it didn't want to die alone, which touched me deeply. An experiment I did with a fly that invaded my home several times is, contrary to what I always did before, I decided not to swing at it or try to kill it, just let it be. The little bugger would practically never leave my side at my computer desk, buzzing around that area constantly. It would crawl all over me and when I brushed it off gently it kept on crawling, meaning it saw no threat in me and got totally comfortable. The next day, I decided to try and kill it, striking it with stuff and missing repeatedly. It disappeared forever after that. Those are just a few minor examples. Hey these critters have been around the block for billions of years, lol, they've probably got the whole planet mapped out perfectly in their minds! I really appreciate your input on the subject and kind words, thanks so much!
Stelly Richie Many thanks and blushes for the good reviews Ryan Keller apologizes profusely for *ahem* bugging you all, lolz
Stelly Richie Another thing I recalled from my childhood: back in Dallas, there was plenty of nature where I lived and a great many ladybugs. My friends and I were watching them closely one day and I pointed out a pair in mating, to which they said "ewwww grosssss" in unison. Maybe I'm a freak but I thought it was the sweetest thing and I couldn't stop watching, lol. I bet if the ladybugs would see us humans mate, they'd have the same reaction as those kids, hehe
Susan Shettles Charleston Great photograph Stelly !!! ... I love the 'eye drops' ...... multiple perceptions of a singular event ... and here is a vid for everyone about an insect aspect...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYp_Xi4AtAQt ...
Stelly Richie Oh my Susan!! cannibalistic porn, yikes! I thought only black widows did that. This one has taken fidelity to frightening levels!
"...the male is quite simply the nearest high energy meal around, just right to ensure that the eggs in the female's body mature faster"
well, to each species their own! I wonder if the male knows he'll get eaten but always chooses procreation over his own life. Then he would be a most noble creature in my eyes
I know of another grotesque mating ritual among insects: traumatic insemination, in which the male pierces the female's abdomen with his *ahem* and injects his sperm through the wound.
Thank you for your nice words and for reminding me how umm straightforward nature can be!
Meg Bennett Stelly Richie, go to my FB wall my perspective drawing could be entitled 'mosquito: "Coming in for a landing!" LOL
Anthony Haden-Guest Stella, I just read the ME bit! It's all true!
You just dreamed my life for me. Dream
a little dream for me. I won't wake up
next time. But I don't dare tell u how
the dream goes on. Why bother to wake?
Susan Shettles Charleston A Terrific Photograph AND a marvelous , thought provoking thread ... Spacebook at one of it's more intelligent moments - a real pleasure .... Here is an amazing book about sex throughout creation ( bugs and animals ) ... ( the part about hyenas will deconstruct your mind ) .....http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Tatianas-Sex-Advice-Creation/dp/0805063323/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1347320044&sr=1-1&keywords=dr+tatiana%27s+sex+advice+to+all+creation
Meg Bennett Susan Shettles Charleston, I just now ordered the book. I'll let you know what I think about it, if you like?
Susan Shettles Charleston Hi Liz ~ I loved your story that you shared with all of us about the pigeon who attended your daughter's birth ~ I think that pigeon/ dove was a beautiful omen
Stelly Richie looks like I'm not the only one who appreciates this type of copulation as evidenced on the author's book cover, lolz Thanks Susan dear, that is something I, like Meg up there, believe would make for a very cool read. I read one of the descriptions, this book is a godsend for breaking the ice, making small talk, or just leaving a lasting (possibly permanent) impression on someone by picking out one of many fun facts in it, for example: "Did you know female hyenas have a large phallus?!?" (or) "betcha didn't know that slugs are hermaphrodites with penises on their heads." LOL charming. it's a pleasure on this end too, thank you and everyone who enriched this image a great deall! xoxo
Catherine Shores I enjoyed this observation being placed in the cosmic natural order of things as well as this tag.. I adored and revered and felt the same way after reading Carl Sagan.
Cynthia Futino Grew up watching his KCET Program Cosmos... Sagan has to be one of my favorites!! Totally agree...
Catherine Shores @ Stelly Ritche, I was also a kid in New York seeing these furry green/yellow caterpillars doing their arial ballets suspended on near invisible silky threads.
