Ghost Elephant

Here I have combined an ink elephant piece with my garage elephant painting in a photo layering app to make it appear as if a real elephant or real ghost elephant is walking down my brick path.

My brother made me laugh at his perfect comment when I posted this on my facebook page: "So it's like the ghost spirit elephant came off the wall and walked into your garden...dude..." I wanted this piece to convey a ghost like but real feeling. A real ghost. I think I succeeded. I also am struck by how I made this image... from planting the garden, to painting the garage wall, to taking a photo of it, to painting the elephant, to combining the images together. No one could have made this image but me. And that is super cool.

There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost.
- Martha Graham

I ended up trading the original ink elephant piece for a beautiful photo from the talented photographer Bill Mohr. His work can be seen at his website: http://billmohrart.com/
