SciFi and Fantasy Art Spectral Choir by Ngaire J Snow

These guys gather every halloween to perform their particular type of barbershop singing at the Ghosters Dancehall, Ealing. (which I believe is hidden away in the back streets of the London area) They don't have a conductor, or even music, but do practice a lot! A popular group, who even have their own ghoulish fan club. As you can see they put their 'all' into it, & indeed, hope to win the coveted Gravediggers Urn at the Internationals next year! This was a small seedhead from my garden, scanned into my pc where I suddenly saw this group & built on it in Photoshop. Great Fun!!

24 Apr 2008	Charlotte Ahlgren	Loading... Judging from this picture I’m convinced already that they WILL win that Gravediggers Urn Award! Ngaire J Snow replies: "Thanks so much for stopping by Charlotte. I Do hope they win also...they work So hard at it & they’ll be devastated if they don’t!"
24 Apr 2008	Stephanie S. K. Marbach	Loading... hehe, cool!!! reminds me of the screaming face of van gogh it looks specially freaky because there are so many of them... i wouldn’t want to stand in front of them... my congrats for your star! Ngaire J Snow replies: "Thank you Stephanie. Yes....the blast from their howling (oops, sorry, I mean singing) would be shattering I think. I was amazed to see the coveted star on this pic....thrilled to bits in fact "
24 Apr 2008	Michael pixiepie john	Loading... oooh superb delightful and amusing very appealing forms and colours too first glance i thought they were maybe fire folks however spectral ghosties is so much better from a seedhead , thats quite amazin as theres lots of eyes and seemingly singing mouths wow i love this thing looks like seawaves in there too Ngaire J Snow replies: "Thanks once again Michael. I suppose a seed pod can be whatever you want it to be...the ghosty thing is just how I see it. Weird eh! If I’d coloured it red it certainly would look like flames.....mmmm I might try that."
24 Apr 2008	Sherri L. White	Loading... I can almost hear them and ...are they swaying a little ? Cool !!! Ngaire J Snow replies: "Well spotted Sherri...they are swaying, especially the long wavy tendril bits. They sometimes jump about too with a really upbeat song. (though that’s usually a routine they’ve worked precicely out beforehand) Thanks for visiting."
24 Apr 2008	Anon.	Loading... damn thats awesome. i just love the colours, makes it look ghostly. congratulations! Ngaire J Snow replies: "Thank you. I worked for a while on the colour...the original seed was a dark brown."
24 Apr 2008	Dave Cripps	Loading... Proving that even the most mundane thing can become something new if look at in a different way. Yes it does look like ’The Scream’. And as disturbing as that. Ngaire J Snow replies: "Thanks Dave. Not half as disturbing as your ’smiley’ though...Argggh...is that blood round it’s mouth?"
24 Apr 2008	Julia W. Harme	Loading... wow. wow. wow. this is absolutely wonderful. if i could id buy this and make it a painting on a wall ^^ i love the way they seem to sway, and they look depressed. moaning about something. xD congrats on the mods choice! Ngaire J Snow replies: "Thank you Julia. Don’t worry they’re not depressed, not yet anyway. That will happen if they don’t win the InternationalsLOL! "
30 Sep 2008	Lydia stephanie Barker	Loading... good job
