Faces in the Forest
StellaLuna and I (aka Me) love to go hiking
adventures in the forests of the Pacific Northwest. While we hike we look for faces in the trees (they tend to hide). When we spy one, I'll take a picture of it. StellaLuna likes to pose with
them ... when she can, she's not very good at
climbing trees. She says she can talk to the tree beings. She likes to tell me what they are saying since humans
don't know how to listen to them, but I think she's making it
up. Here she said, "Stumpy told me that he really
likes the hat you gave him."

The Pareidolia Forest (a photo book with words)
Using photos of StellaLuna with her forest friends, we wrote a
short story (based on a true story) called The Pareidolia
Forest. Check out the free to read version (and
the photos) by clicking
on the link below.

Silhouettes
For some of the
faces, I'll create a silhouette to frame the photo with, to accentuate what we saw. I call these silhouettes. You can check them out on my flicker
page,
by clicking on the link below.

Face Gems
One of the ways I like to share my pareidolia art is by attaching small prints of the silhouettes to
cabochons and then place them randomly while I go about my day. I call them "face gems." Did you find one? I love to know where it ended up. Email me a message at tjgames.com@live.com (Please include a photo if you would.) I'm also active in the Facebook group

Art-o-mat
One of the ways I
sell my pareidolia
art is through old cigarette vending machines that have been converted into art, and now vend art that can fit in a box the size of a pack of cigarettes.
These machines are now called Art-o-mat
machines.
I am one of the many artists who have their art in
a Art-o-mat. The
other way I sell art is people write to me and
ask about what I have. If you are interested my e-mail is
tjgames.com@live.com |

Note: A real Art-o-mat machine is much bigger
than the mini one in the picture.
