Artist's Comments

Like some of you may know, my DA name is of jewish origin. I guess iīve always been fascinated with jewish culture and religion. One of the stories that i heard as a child, was the story of "Golem", a man-like creature created from clay to protect the rabbi's people from oppression and was only activated when holy words were placed in its mouth or written on his forehead. The word on her forehead is hebrew and it means "to live" and if you wipe it off, the golem dies.

In a sad note, as i was taking this picture last weekend, a certain someone in DA wrote a journal entry entitled "Antisemitism" and there were links to my fetish pictures, that he wanted to be banned in DA. Luckily most of the comments weīre in my favor. People should understand, that hatred is hatred, and a picture is just picture, and a cigar is just a cigar.

The thing that made really sad was that she did know that i donīt in any way condone antisemitistic ideologies. I guess i put all the pain that her lies made me feel into this picture. Itīs OK not to like my pictures, as long as you donīt spread lies about me, or make me look like something iīm not.

Description was great, from time to time people tend to react very harsh and very spontaniously on something they don't like, without knowing the whole story, background or whatever you want to call it.

I love the straight-on approach to the photo as well, that makes it an honest and fearless shot. I'm afraid tho! :o

well done once again! :boogie:
:icontiki-fiki:
Simply awesome, amazing piece. :O

I'm glad you handled the injustice in a gracious manner and molded your feelings into a great work of art.

The best pieces I've seen have immense feeling behind them.

Great work!

"girls can wear jeans and cut their hair short and wear shirts and boots 'cause it's ok to be a boy, for girls, it's like promotion. but for a boy, to look like a girl is degrading, because secretly you believe that being a girl is degrading"

You know, I got into DA b/c I thought it would give me a chance to be able to express alot of things I could say or do in the "Real World" I don't think other people realize that "art" allows some of us to be able to say things in ways we can't say to everyone and in doing so we open ourselves to peoples lack of undersatnding and when that happens those "other" people tend to lash out. It is so bad that they can't just look at things for what it's worth. You know I dont think anyone has ever forced me to look at anyones postings here on DA. So for lack of better terms if you dont like it don't look at it!!! I love your work and always look forward to seeing whats next. :) Sorry about the Rant.
