My Second Moly
Friday, January 8th, 2010
So tonight I complete the art for the beginning of my Moleskine for iATCs G4 Moly Swap my theme is Past Life Recall: Self Portraits from our Former Incarnations.
This can be interpreted in many ways, aside from the obvious images from past lives you either actually recall or suspect you lived in a different incarnation, it can also be as past lives you’ve lived in this current life, past lives of your ancestors or other people you admire or even past lives you wish you’d lived.
My plan (best laid of course, yeah right, didn’t happen 
) was to create an MP3 mediation for everyone to do before they started drawing for this so that if they wished they can see what kinds of past life imagery they received for themselves. However with the launching of my new website Spirit Tattooing and the creating of a new 78 page portfolio which is currently in transit from the printers, this little idea simply did not have the time or space to occur.
There’s no wrong way to do this. Past life is completely open to your own interpretation.
You can represent:
• a former life from this incarnation (like my brief days as a singer in an alternative new wave rock band in Cleveland in the early 80’s)
• an alternate life that you could have lived but did not (like in some odd alternate reality I am an accountant, and in another I am a lawyer, and another I am a naturopathic doctor)
• a life you wish you lived
• a life you suspect you lived, a life that you have glimpses/flashes of living
• a life based on passions and interests you’ve had all your life that seemingly came out of left field (For example my almost 7 year old nephew went as a Union Soldier for Halloween last October because he’s been obsessed with the Civil War since he was a really little kid.)
• or a life you fabricate simply for our mutual amusement.
No matter what I am sure it will be perfect.
