This is the magnificent 3/17 Mighty WurliTzer Balaban 2 Theatre Pipe Organ installed at the Tennessee Theatre in Knoxville, Tennessee. It is one of only a few original installations left in the United States.

The organ was delivered to the theatre in 1928 as part of the Publix series. In 2001, restoration by Ken Chrome of Reno, Nevada was completed. Lyn Larsen carried out the final voicing. The theatre holds a free one hour concert on the first Monday of the month at noon. For more info, click this [link]

Even Faeries Cry

Artwork by Lyvia Bruno
Colour by Richard Mogridge

High atop a green mountain knoll, a lonely faerie looks down on the world and sees it troubled by the unrest among humans. She knows it will take strong medicine to set things right. Her powerful magic is not enough. She must summon the spirits of goodness to help her save Mankind and heal the Earth. She kneels down to pray as tears of sorrow roll down her cheeks. Even faires cry...

Artist Collaboration

This artwork is a collaborative effort between two artists. My best friend, Lyvia Bruno, provided the original line art she mnade which can be found here [link] . This work stands alone without further action, but I was compelled to colour it, being some of the neatest line art I have ever seen.

I downloaded the oroginal image and opened it with Paint Shop Pro 7 as the first layer of a new file. Next, I applied colours with a paint brush and added the stars using tubes as additional layers. I then applied soft blue overhead lights. Finally, I added a buttonized frame in three stages before overlaying the signiture text before merging all the layers into the finished image you see here.

I hope to do more collaboration with Lyvia, for not only is she a wonderful artist, but also a beautiful spiritual companion, who gives me unconditional love of the most rare kind indeed. I can never thank her enough. All I can do is return that unlimited love for all time. Blessings and good karma be.

~slowdog294 has started a donation pool!

182 / 1,000,000

The 1,000,000 point donation drive is now open. First to donate and get things started is my fellow TPO enthusiest, David Irwin, from Ashland, Virginia, also known on dA as *Passacaglia28. Thanks, Dave, for getting the ball rolling!

The Slow Dog wants to give back to dA what has been given to him, the pleasure of great art. Loyal patrons and wonderful friends who have enjoyed his art for over six years are owed many thanks. Words are not enough. He must do more.

To that end, a donation pool has been set up to collect a massive amount of dA points, to be given to various deviants as contest prizes and awards of artistic merit. One million points are to be collected before the contests begin. We are talking about major awards and prizes here.

A lofty goal. One million points. Not for my use, instead, to award all my fellow deviants so they can get subscriptions and receive their favourite deviantSTUFF. This is a long term project, so there will be no time limit. However, when the bar hits one million, the contests will begin. Here is a teaser...

Best 3D TPO Render

Best Clothed BBW Render

Best Alien Planetscape

Best Windows Desktop Wallpaper

Best Artistic Nude BBW Photo

And so on...

Prizes and rules to be announced at the start of the contests, which will accept new deviations beginning on each contest start date. Older devs will not qualify.

Thank you in advance for your generous donation. It shows that you too believe in giving back to the community what it has given you. Blessings and good karma be.

WELCOME TO THE SLOW DOG'S PLACE

So how would one discribe me? Obviously, I am a child of the '60's, a mild mannered farm boy from East Tennessee who loves music and art, and lives by the way of the Hippie. Some would call me spiritual yet somewhat pagan, being a scientist by nature, a rather retiring and crusty old professor who holds Uncle Albert in the highest esteem. Though ancient of spirit, I am young at heart. Men do not grow up, they just get bigger toys.

Though I an outgoing in public, I am a gentlemen with the ladies. To me, women are the artwork created by the Makers. They come in all sizes and they are all beautiful, each in their own way. Women deserve to be treated with kindness, respect, adoration and equality as humans, for they are better equipped to handle stressful scenerios, and as an added bonus, women appreciate art in ways men cannot.

By day, I am a computer geek. Building Windows PC's is a true joy. Some men build hot rod cars. I build very fast computers. But when the night comes, I am a musician. Give me a good bass guitar and I am a happy camper. Life on the bottom is hard, but truck loads of earth shaking fun. Feel the power. Dance, mi bonita Cholita, dance!

When I am not building computers or making music, I can be found outside doing the greenskeeping, gardening, riding my bike or observing the sky. I enjoy hiking and swimming. Diving from high places is a real thrill. I also enjoy flying in small airplanes. Anything that goes fast or has lots of power is pleasure for me, because I am a thrill seeker at heart. Like Peter Pan, I will never grow up.
