Aszjeca's 2018 Halloween Series...

**I was looking through Aszjeca's Halloween series of photos, and just started writing this in mid-thought...all in one shot, unedited and raw, as is the way I will often write.

#1
"Neon Skull"

It's not even just about what she does with her skills, there is just something about the way Aszjeca captures her creations in how she poses in her photos.  They're not just straight photos of the make up and then done, she knows how to bring them to life even more by adding other layers of depth. 

#2
"Snake Emoji's"
(This is the photo that put my mind into writing mode)

I haven't read the original thing I wrote about Aszjeca last year since I did it.

I kinda just write and move on.  I do believe I said something along the lines of me not being a make-up kinda guy.  I love natural beauty and don't think it should be covered up.  Aszjeca is the exception that makes me a total hypocrite though, because what she does is unreal!!

#3
"Glam Pumpkin"

#4
"Halloween Mask"

After seeing her Halloween series this year I kinda got sad that it was over.  It was then that I realized that Aszjeca is my favourite artist in this area.  There is a very deep and rich community of artists around here, and I don't want to disrespect any of them because this place has some damned talent...my goodness does it ever have talent, but she is on a different level.

#5
"Glam Clown"
(This photo deserves to be full size...that shit's crazy!)

Aszjeca's skills are off the charts fantastic, and so is her imagination for what she comes up with to create.  She never ceases to blow my mind that way.  The thing that takes it further though is that extra layered depth she gets through knowing how to capture each moment in a photo.

#6
"Scarecrow"

#7 
"Glam Skeleton"

It may not seem like it to many, but I am a very artsy person, and in anything I do I pour everything I have into it, and look for as many ways to add layers of depth as I can.  I stretch my imagination beyond what I know to do.  I venture into the unknown through my art, quite often by mistake, but I love the pursuit of uniqueness as it is often the thing that drives me. 

It's in that realm of thought where my mind goes when I see the way Aszjeca captures her creations...whether that be through wearing a wig, or onsie lookin' thing, the way she has her hair, or just through the way she poses.  She brings in several aspects of art all at once, and it is just so damned mind blowing.

The thing that is even more excellent is the way that once she is done, she cleans it off and that's that!  I liken it similarly to Buddhist Monks doing those absolutely stunning sand mandalas.  Their creations are so gorgeous, and leave one completely in awe.  Then once they are done, the monks just sweep up the mandala...and that's that!  Countless hours just gone.  I know those mandalas are all about the journey, and not the destination; but the odd time I will think about that likeness between Aszjeca's art and that of a Buddhist Monk's sand mandala...a stunning piece of work that gets washed away.  It all seems crazy, but it is really just wrapped in brilliance.

#8
"Pumpkin Carving"

#9
"Ringmaster"

Within the notion of her art, the simplest thing I can say is that I am a guy who straight-up doesn't like make up, but I am always looking forward to what she is gonna do next.  Aszjeca is just that fuckin' good!

Yesterday (November 2nd) I sent her this message:

"I'm assuming your Halloween series is over now?  You gonna do a Christmas one?"

She told me she is for sure, so stay tuned 'cause Christmas is coming fast!

#10
