Title: DARTH BANE Creation Date: 9 May 2018 Series: SMOKE PORTRAITS. Series Year : 2018. Copyright 2018 Nawfal Johnson. All Rights Reserved. ——————— SMOKE PORTRAITS are ethereal smoke images, in which, I see eerie and mystical faces—not everyone has this ability, but I guess I am very aware of such "spirits" living inside my smoke portraits. This is a new series, and DARTH BANE is the first portrait of this series (created 9 May 2018). This particular smoke portrait was influenced by the fictional work, "Path of Destruction (Star Wars: Darth Bane, Book 1)", [Mass Market Paperback – June 26, 2007 by Drew Karpyshyn]. Darth Bane, is in a single word, a "BADASS" (yes—"Badass" is one word in my account). He is also very Evil. He is the definition of Evil Personified. I have a feeling that like my Fire Portraits Series, most all of the portraits of this series will be pretty evil, or mystical appearing. ——————— ——————— Tags: #mystical, #ethereal, #smoke-art, #portraits, #NawfalJohnson , #evil, #eerie, #star-wars, #the-force, #real-life, #magical, #vertical, #red, #violet, #purple, #black, #white, #orange, #green, #faces, #unbound-chains, #power, #sith-master, #the-force,

MY BRIEF HISTORY AND BACKGROUND: I have been designing photographs since about 1977. From grade school through university, I created photographs as a hobbyist as I was growing up in Lincoln, Nebraska, USA. I am a self-taught Artist and Photographist for the most part: I did, however, take one class in "Drawing," at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, as an undergraduate student. From 1997 until 2001, I worked as a freelance editorial Photographer for several magazines, including GOLD, Dance Teacher Now, Dance Spirit, and BLADE. Some of the specific areas of my editorial work were Stage & Dance Production Photography and Historical Photo-Essays, which concentrated Malaysian culture. However now, I am focusing more of my time working on Abstract Art Photography. I am especially interested in Abstract Expressionism and Rorschach Art. MY INFLUENCES: Jackson Pollock is my primary influence. A lot of my time is spent on Abstract Expressionism Photography. I am also doing more experimentation with Urban Color Field Photography. My favorite painters, however, are not abstract artists. I love the works of Camille Pisarro, Rembrandt, Canaletto, Edward Hopper, and many more. My main philosophical artistic influence is Robert Henri, who also was raised in Nebraska (Cozad, Nebraska). I own three incurable diseases that cause me pain every day: Ankylosing Spondylitis, Osteoporosis, and Ménière's Disease. I attempt to channel my pain into my work. I also attempt to focus on creating work so that I can divert some of my pain and fatigue caused by my diseases. Doing my artwork is helpful, but it is not a solution—there are no solutions for my diseases, and they are a part of me. Thus, my diseases influence my work, and much of my work is 'dark'. A good portion of my newer works would be from the "Dark Side of the Force", and that "darkness" is the pain I feel, unleashing itself in my artworks. MY RECENT ART PHOTOGRAPHY SERIES: Recently, I have focused a lot of my time on creating photo-manipulation paintings of my images using various computer techniques. I also have two outer space/Science Fiction themed photo-art series: 1) "A View from the Edge of the Milky Way Galaxy"; and 2) "Alien Landscape".
