Once upon a time....
"Once upon a time, I had this awkward dream that I was playing in front of a mirror the part of a princess lost, so, I took a deep glance into the reflection to have a better look and discovered a bleeding heart. It was me, the one who helped it cracked, the mirror, bleeding heavily, obviously injured by a fantastic wishful dream of beauty deceived. Then the rain came and washed it all away, the dream along with the nightmares, feelings and naughts, leaving behind only a story to help people grow back up, out from the waste of their own dis_illusions."
*This video contains artwork concept and vision that is not my original-concept product! The original pictures of other artists-photographers were used in the realisation of the final product you can see displayed on the screen. Sound effects and background music here are, though, my own product. Although the majority of sound reproduced in this video comes from the work of my own imagination, vision and hands-work, credits must be attributed to the ones who made it all possible, but, as we get to know everybody so well these days... all this takes me to a short enumeration of main tools used, such as paints and brushes for the artwork implied, the GarageBand tool and iMovie tool, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop software and, of course, a Canon photo-camera - Thanks to all the creators, inventors and contributors to the development of all the useful tools and means of helping us make our dreams happen!
**It is well imposed to mention the major importance of research in the cover production process of this e-book which is, in fact, a reconstruction of an original photograph by Philipp Klinger that I reinterpreted and modified according to my preferred imagery variation (I fell in love with it, the original! It happens - but still had that thing you must surely understand, the little elf working in your head helping you to the popular: "It's great but I would have done this and that!", "I think that if I changed that area a little, cleaned that space and added this and that to that other... Oh! and it looks fabulous with a little touch of....!" You get the idea).
It is so that I came up with this version, seriously, not much done - it's not like rocket science (you take the man's work and say to yourself that you make it better! - "Damn it! I screwed things up! as an artist I must be ashamed of myself, get a shovel and start digging for the hole to hide in forever, deep into the grounds where you can't find the pesky uninspired thing that just had to do this.... uh!"). Yet, there was some amount of work to do!

- Shh... It's a secret, but I'm sharing it anyway. "What I was left with, after the war: sweet little naughts to have me walk through the boughs of these times lost... I'm tired. She deserved much better than this..."
Below: two links on my 2021Summer-work. A Christmas gift that comes with poetry and theatrical movement, a show of performance that's been running through my head (fast and furious the very summer of 2021 - dear ol' emoji tearing my eyes with liquids full of sweet salty joy! - now we all know where that comes from!
First link is that which comes as a sample to take a look into and decide if you want more.
The second one is my "Trolleo and Henriette" performance in three acts and some delights proposal. I was promised that a piece on the same topic, perhaps with the same title, will be written by a fellow-artist. Being based on a poem with the same title, "Trolleo and Henriette" has already two poems dedicated: one that I wrote, wearing the couplet cloak, and "Discarted Hero" by Mark Luppi (https://allpoetry.com/poem/15819799-Discarded-Hero-by-Mark-Luppi). Now, for the playwright: https://www.free-ebooks.net/my-deskhttps://www.smashwords.com/books/view/11110203 there are no more FREE copies available for download at this moment. But, you can have a little sip, taste and test it, see if it works for you before you felt like spending any money. Stay though tuned! Promotions may step in, from time to time!

*"Trolleo and Henriette" is a piece of theatrical work in which fantasy and humour, love and broken hearts, joy of life and sadness intertwine to depict a world in which there is darkness, there is light so, there is life.
*warning* This piece is a theatrical work containing elements of drama and poetry. You will find as well humour and moments filled with the magic of artistic performance work. The work also contains words and expressions that may be considered rude, offensive, discriminatory (and some would see racism coming out to the surface), to some extent, all true. Please, treat it as it is: an expression of a wide palette of emotions. Since pamphlet was accepted and, on occasions, well received in Kings' Courts in the past, I can't see why we must behave like less than we can be.
**Part of the images in this video were taken from Unsplash.com. Some of the artists-photographers whose original work I used are: Mona Eendra, Annie Sprat, Dimitri Simon, Marek Piwnicki and Francesca Campanaro (Many more were used in the processes of creating the imagery for my 2021 videos. They all have their place in the heart of this work and deserve to be praised. If I forgot to mention anyone, I beg an apology (PLEASE LET ME KNOW SO I CAN ADD THE NAMES OF THE ARTISTS.Thank you).
