?Esme?

by David LaPlantz ·

Esme was the particularly, pliable python who played a pivotal role in the movie “Foul Play.” Esme the woman, not the snake, may have been the twin sister of Layla? If you believe, then she was…….

Christine Collins (LA, CA)

by David LaPlantz ·

March 1928, Christine Collins’ only son disappeared.

From there, an attempt was made to fool her with an impostor. She protested, was discredited and committed to an insane asylum.

Eventually Collins was released, sued the LAPD, but never gave up hope finding her son.

In homage to female (human) persistence, belief in one’s inner trust and faith.                                               Never give up…….

Esme, Layla and Derek?

by David LaPlantz ·

Wasn’t Esme the twin sister of Layla? If history serves, maybe…..

Imagine if Derek had sung, “Esme, you got on my knees!” It does have a different ring.

As promised…….

Was K. A.’s vision correct? Did you think about Esme’s response to the happening?     Who’s Esme?

“Z” Brooch

by David LaPlantz ·

“Z,” a fabulous visual and sounding syllabary letter. The last of the magnificent 26! Why else would Zorro choose that first letter for his or her name? Big Z, two o’s, two r’s, but not in that order!

Makes perfect sense to me. How about you? Michael sez, “Don’t forget about Wah Z.”

Preview of Manana, Today

by David LaPlantz ·

Black lightening swopped down from the dark sky and consumed the corn field. The singe smelled like tortillas, ordered over uneasy. The ears became like torches on stilts and the illuminated light flooded the nighttime landscape with ghostly halloween shadows. Small animals ran and hid in fear, dogs barked and howled, while Joe the citizen farmer chuckled to himself……. Kenneth Arnold muttered, “I saw a UFO hovering soundlessly…..” Esme wondered if this event portended the end of the world.

Meanwhile the tortilla scent pervaded…….

Someone from New Mexico queried,”Red or green?”

?Rear View Mirror?

by David LaPlantz ·

Memory Lane Time: Back in 1987, this was the jewelry brochure used to sell my jewelry. When you examine these earrings, brooches or bracelet, perhaps one can identify the basic design and embellishment elements still seen here in David’s Voice. Looking back is always a magnificent way to see where one is currently heading. Subtle clues often emerge to help us identify who we are as visual artists. History can enlighten, warn, cajole, fool and inspire. What’s your choice?

“Messenger Martyr” Brooch

by David LaPlantz ·

Jullian Assange recently stated, “A black box has been applied to my life….” This symbolic image is possibly how the metaphoric, black box top looks. Why is the messenger being set up and martyred? His message clearly exposes the “truth” behind our elected and otherwise appointed officials and their atrocious actions. Transparency should not be feared, unless one is troubled with some reason (guilt?) to fear the truth. Otherwise, the trust in truth, we should have and should be guaranteed is a cruel joke.

“White Heat” Brooch

by David LaPlantz ·

The heat is “on!” The heat should stay “on!” Without heat, many reactions can not take place. Heat is important, we must use it to make change. Change is necessary for each of us to know what is real. Keeping life real is vital to the “Zen” of life. Flip “on” the change switch.
