With a tad bit of pulling and stretching and one easy “dark foil” filter you get a totally different look than the original and the straight colour version.
The original drawing is pen and black ink on basic sketch paper then digitally enhanced. The same pencil on canvas filter used to enhance the drawing was also used to create the border and frame. A touch of gold is added to the first frame layer. The border is solid black with pencil on canvas texture.
This detailed view shows a painting with weathered edges against black matting. 
detailed view 2 shows a chaotic crown above the figures head
and detail three shows the puddle she stands in as well as a closer view of the border.
Face It in colour doesn’t have the same feel as the black and white but I still like it.

I wish to rise from ruins.
Gather broken pieces,
Shards and shreds long cast off as useless
And create one form worth standing for.
I will rise from rubble
For one great stand
One grand shine.
In my true essence
I wish to rise unscathed by imagery and voices
That encourage the lying down of hope.

Title: What Dreams Bring
Art by: F. Magdalene
July 3rd, 2007
Tattered, bruised, torn or weary
I will still look towards the sun.
Day break, dawn or sunset
Full moon or half moon rising
Slow motion or full speed ahead
Without hesitation each step, one in front of the other
Towards hope
Towards hope with my gait of strength.
Agitation grows to weariness and weakened knees as I am over taken by your exaggerated body force as it goes to extremes with
Violent measures no man can accurately calculate.
But I emerge once more from my fog filled past with
Eyes that see every movement in hopes to never miss a thing.
Cheeks high with expectation
Tongue ready to taste the brilliance of today
Head up, back straight
One foot in front of the other without hesitation I walk
Towards hope I walk with my gait of strength.
Poem and art titled: Gait of Strength
Poem by: Milwaukee (age 12) of Morton’s Pride ( June 6, 2007)
Art by: F. Magdalene (June 20th, 2007)
Late night artwork instead of sleeping is only advisable if you don’t have somewhere to go in the morning. I hung with friends, emailed friends, did the girl thing until everyone with an ounce of personal responsibility went home. This just leaves me, the irresponsible chick obsessed with PC art OR anxious about what tomorrow may bring.
Sometimes art is a distraction from events (past and future) that I don’t care to look at. I’d rather shoot the breeze with friends than deal with issues right now. I’d rather drink coffee and laugh at old movies that won nominations for worst film ever. I’d rather colour or splash paint from half empty cans and be thankful for such distractions because they allow me to catch my breath so I can keep moving forward. I’d rather hang with friends than anything else right now.
