Another Urban Angel image. My wife always talks about wanting to be a beacon of light in the world, which I think the world needs ever more with each passing day. I think we have a tendency to think that changing the world requires big, dramatic actions, but we can learn a lesson from water in this regard. Given enough time, even drops of water, can pierce stone. Changing the world, making it a better place, happens because enough people bring good into it. Each little piece of radiance, from a piece of artwork, to a song, to helping out some stranger, to whatever else you give to the world rather than take from it, helps create a beacon of light to break the darkness. The Urban Angel personifies this idea, using a Bladed Flower to light her way. The Bladed Flower she holds has a photograph of a real flower taken by my wife within the globe at its centre. She captures the beauty of the natural world in her photographs in an amazing way and I wanted to bring this magic into the new symbol for her band Sonicjoy. The Bladed Flower was the result, providing a Beacon of Light to represent the ideals of their music and give a source of illumination for my artwork and the Angel within it. Hope this image brings a little bit of light to whoever sees it. Rendered in Poser 5.
