Description
Our local Council collects twice a year - anything we have been hording throughout the year...but I'm always thinking I could do something with this - one day ?
Then there comes a time, when one has to get rid of all old clutter and just let go... and this is where this ol' Dummy/Mannequin makes his last appearance - all spruced up in photoshop, to say it's final farewell...sniff !
I think, I will miss you !
Cheers *BB*

IF ONLY I lived closer..You'd have found her a home ages ago!
You've really given your old friend a fine sendoff. The abstract quality of this image are very creative! :)
A stand up person but such a clothes horse but as you say no dummy. Great shot Great postwork
Spectacular send off I must say, really quite avant-garde and probably should be hanging on a gallery wall somewhere !...oh yeah, Rendo Gallery...DOH ! Guilty of keeping stuff myself...'one man's trash is another's treasure' Nice work BB & ~Cheers~ :o)
Outstanding result. What an eye-catcher, this!
EXCELLENT PICTURE!
She looks like she could dance every bit as well as I can...
Pretty couture.
fantastic!!!
Really nice work here. Too bad you couldn't keep her around.
Awesome!
What a great farewell you have given this mannequin it looks really grand as it makes its exit from your house. I'm sure someone picked it up off the roadside. Excellent work.
Lol...I know the feeling, but sadly, all I have is junk.
Interesting work (I'd say it's pretty good for an advertiser!), good composition!
Well it certainly went out with a bang!! What a VERY coolo and artsy shot and I also like what you did with your signature:)
This is an excellent!
Well here I am back in your gallery, once more...long overdue. And you'll notice I'm back in the year 2010, trying to get to more of your many images here. A lot of the above comments appreciate what you did with this (with the image, though giving away the actual mannequin is a good deed too). I've often seen a deep graphics sense in your work, and some of it is downright avant garde, both as art as well as the best of the advertising world. I mean the kinds of images that advertising masters work on for days, to bring them to a peak...you see them in the best fashion ads, perfume ads, etc. Also in fashion houses and modern galleries. I really like your perpendiculars, and the black/white/gray tones of it (emphasizing design) (because of the lack of color, leaving the design to speak for itself). And the big orb-like bulges make more abstract design. (It's like gigantic, metal bubble wrap!) And that, imposed over the mannequin, make the image look like a photo-collage of the 1980's, from New York's art scene. And then there's all the stuff you have inside the torso---what in the world is all that, lol? Snakes? Stamens? Some strange undersea creatures? I love how you throw things together that most of us wouldn't think of throwing together, and you wind up with these wholly original images. The stuff on the mannequin follow the contours of the mannequin too...A really fun and creative treatment; and, with all such images in your gallery, it's eye opening and it poses aesthetic questions. I can't explain what I mean by "aesthetic questions"---a crazy phrase to just throw out---but it's just that some art makes us wonder and ask and think of alternate ways of seeing things. So when I say some of your images pose aesthetic questions, it's a compliment, believe me...a bunch of your pieces do that, and that's not easy, by any means.
