Description
*He came while the night was young;
he came while the first star was just starting
to look out...
He came and from the usual things he created magic;
he came and what was normal became extraordinary.
"who was he?"
asked the little lady
to a man who seemed not the simple one
he told her to be.
"He's the Knight of the Beauty around,
the one who shapes what others can not even
dream about.
He has eyes that he opens wider than
the others
and he has senses that catch longer
than the majority's fugitive forces.
Rapahel used to say
the artist gets inspired by Nature
to make things Nature so should have made,
then know he's an artist
and no more, cos more would sound tame"
and on her face a smile appeared,
and borrowing it out as well he vanished.
She waits since then for the fresh young night
to come and let her see again
the Knight who from nothing
can mirror the supreme
of beautiful realities around.
She waits since then,
and at night she composes rhymes
to call him those ways
she was banned at that time
he revealed her all magic
he chose to be for
both arrow and bow...
and following his example
she always tries to catch
what is so gorgeous
that can't be named right by men.*

So this is the second of my Knights, that I was about to upload last week, but you might imagine why I didn't (I still thank all who have showed me deep affection for my loss.. THANK YOU).
I guess everyone here MUST know this fabulous artist, and not only in 2D, but if you don't, let me introduce you Jean-Marc,aka jrulier.
Where to start from with him... well, why not from the peculiar way I have expressed in this portrait my admire for him.For me, he's a wizard.A magical artist devoted to the searching for beauty, and capable to catch the sensual side of living like no one else. In his subjects, he can find a specialness that his sixth sense (his soul) firstly perceives.Before the eyes, his heart feels the chemistry of living, and the passion for it a real face expresses but often in secret ways to our unimaginative minds, and through a real situation of sensual codified stances he keeps telling us more than just "Look, this is a naked body".He always suggests us behind everything that's celebrating passion, it lies the essence of our presence on this planet,and the complexity of social interactions.
He portrays what is the primordial, and eternal energy of sexuality with supreme elegance, and then he exalts and sublimates everything into a shape that so often comes so near to perfection that the viewer can just admire, but rarely gettin in its full quality, as the full quality of Jean-Marc's works is a mystery to the normal man.Still a voice keeps tellin us, those shivers we feels, either we are men or women, have a deeper meaning than the obvious guess we try for defining them.
So, here is my praise for you dear Jean-Marc, and my thanx for inspiring me with every single one of your works.The horns.. are cos you and I are Aries, and I thought that was to underline ;)
That quote of Rapahel is true, and it truely applies to you.
You let us enter in a parallel Universe where Beauty seems everyone's normal state.
But it's just an illusion the immense artistry of you gifts our eyes and souls with, and for this illusion, that is a pushing to greatness, I praise you and I will always do.
I am honoured to have got to meet you here. And without you, this place for me could never look the same.And well, you're also in full like a blonde version of my friend Gulli, whom you portraited so well kissing his wife not a long ago:great people.. LOOK alike? I think so.
Hugs. Meli :)

To see your idea of the artist portrayed with bonds of supernatural escape in sinuous monstrous serpentine really inspires. He has found a suitable interpreter.
