amusing muse you got - hope, you'll not forget the famous apple (ipod!!:), which urged newton to rethink gravity
:)
I'm very happy about your project: always I thought about something similar, but lazy as I am, I never could get the energy and stamina to do it

Hi, Jim,
I love the background in this picture. The subject, like a lot of your pictures, is both a little frightening and quite attractive (to my eyes). I find the big head on the little body somewhat disconcerting - it looks a bit like those aliens with the big heads and skinny bodies. Is she holding a shield? The gear on the right shoulder (right when you look at the picture) doesn't look like it's part of the muse, but stuck on. The shoes under the eyes are funny. I also don't particularily like the smaller gear/handle at the bottom left, it doesn't seem to belong there.
Oh boy. I'm being negative. That's not good. I like your pictures, and I LOVE this background, and the colours of the subject, especially the colours on the human part of the body. Oh well.
Take care,
Ursula

Hi Jim,
I'm looking forward to this new series. Great starting image. I hate to think how many hours work went into it! There's so much in there ~ just sorry I haven't the time to gaze at it a bit longer.
Great story about the horn! You don't think God was trying to get through to you and your friends?! One day that trumpet blast is gonna be for real. 100's of prophecies were fulfilled by Jesus' first coming, and there are even more that promise His second!
Returning to your picture, I'm pretty sure it was Newton, a 'believer', who had a model of the solar system on his desk. When an atheist friend asked him who made it, Newton said that it had come together by chance. The atheist pooh-poohed the very idea of such a complex model coming together purely by chance, to which Newton said something like, 'But that's what you believe about the real thing.'!!
Thanks for sharing your excellent work with us, Jim. You contiue to set the standards in this particular field!
Best regards,
Chris

This looks just great already - very much looking forward to what's next. Another feature of Newton is that he discovered that the spectrum created from white light by a prism could be restored to white light again - maybe that has a place in your view as well. Re. the background, just saw this http://www.usefilm.com/image/240766.html which made me think of these squarist textures of yours.

I first thought you were intending the other "Newton", the photographer (but your model is more pleasent, to be honest).
I like its (or her) face, like a little E.T., and the background is full of fantasy, and even the not simmetry in the brest.
You'd got a great idea.

Hi Jim,
Newton who?
Oh yeah.....THAT guy.
Well, like Chris I'm eager to see each part of the series. This is a hugely inspired beginning!
[And Chris....really appreciate your anecdote regarding Newton and the non-believer.]
Best wishes,
David

Jim, Yes Newton opened a great many doors for us. I like his cookies too! (Fig, get it! I kill me) I am very partial to watch and clock works. Love all of the wheels and the old mainsprings in theier barrels. Great image Jim. There seems to be no end to your imagination! It is a beautiful thing is it not!

A really nice-- and very interesting work Jim. You've expanded or combined some of the techniques used before, and this drips with symbolism. Cheers. Craig

I enjoy all your work Jim but now and then you post an image that really strikes me --- this is one of those. Very creative, whimsical, and visually satisfying... I have been sitting thinking about all the choices you made in the contstruction of this work and can't imagine it any other way. Can't wait to see the rest!

Amusing muse!
She almost has a gladiator look about her...not sure what odd hysterical/historical movies I've been watching! :) Very imaginative as always Jim. Congrats.
I found these quotes on Newton and his probable beliefs.
..."The evidence is Newton most likely was a kind of Deist, believing in a "watchmaker" God who started the universe but did not otherwise "interfere," i.e. did not give us special revelations, create miracles and the like."
and/or
"Newton also wrote on Judaeo-Christian prophecy, whose decipherment was essential, he thought, to the understanding of God. His book on the subject, which was reprinted well into the Victorian Age, represented lifelong study. Its message was that Christianity went astray in the 4th century AD, when the first Council of Nicaea propounded erroneous doctrines of the nature of Christ. The full extent of Newton's unorthodoxy was recognized only in the present century: but although a critic of accepted Trinitarian dogmas and the Council of Nicaea, he possessed a deep religious sense, venerated the Bible and accepted its account of creation. In late editions of his scientific works he expressed a strong sense of God's providential role in nature."

I was amused by Fabio's comment. I think we should all have a contest to see how many comments we can give you with the word amuse in it! I love this character. Your characters are so likable and interesting. This one has a soul despite her mechanical body. You can see it in her eyes. It's the soul and spirit that inspired scientists and inventors. But yep, you need the apple! I'm having some doubts about the background but I'll think on it! Not the background (it's great) but the combination of the muse and the background together!

Very interesting! Of course beautiful work! I think there is some similarity between Newton and da Vinci, the era they lived was different though. When their concepts shift to a new one, there occurs some friction with new paradigm--,Nice your comment esp. American revolution! (Soory, in poor Engl.)Thanks.

So many thought-provoking insights into the themes I'm looking to explore! This morning I have to contend with a ruptured water heater and flooded basement -- Newton's fourth law as restated by Murphy. Perhaps the best place to respond will be in the thread of my next post. --jim

well.. imperdonable por mi parte no haber entrado en tu portfolio por un largo tiempo; aunque si lo pienso mejor casi mejor asi.. no solo una sorpresa y el goce de ver una imagen surrealista nueva sino una detras de otra y a cual mejor; admiro tu uso de la tecnica tratando las imagenes pero eso queda en segundo plano al comtemplar el resultado y lo que esas imagenes sugieren o significan, significados que como siempre ante algo tan creativo suelen ser propias de quien observa la obra en cuestion, esa es la generosidad deel artista, darnos algo para poder reinterpretarlo, no solo una imagen mil veces mascada y usada. Espero volver pronto y ver mas.. saludos
