'Tiempo' by Rylsky for Met Art - the series of 119 pictures with the overpowering yellow background!
But Alice is on good form nevertheless.
It is indeed, extremely, um, well, yellow!
Alexey Bessarab photographed Alice in 'Alis Set 1' for Domai and in 'Emerald World' for Amour Angels.And a solo image from Domai
There is something of an overlap between these two series, because they both derive from the same shoot.
I think that set formed the basis of this exquisite image'Tiempo' by Rylsky for Met Art - the series of 119 pictures with the overpowering yellow background!

which you posted a few weeks ago, Bob.
Shows how much better she looks without a yellow background!
I've found a phone case... (yes, I said a phone case)
but sadly it's out of stock
Yes, that portrait is entitled, 'Akt - Alice Kiss', meaning 'Alice Kiss Tiempo', after the series from which it derives.I think that set formed the basis of this exquisite image

An attractive interpretation.
I love the phone case!
Congratulations on your perfect identification of Alice just from her eyes and hair (unless you have the relevant series!) Rylsky's 'Pietra' was a late publication by Met Art on 25 August 2011.
How fascinating that this fun 'peek-a-boo' image has been used in this way, six years after it first appeared. Admittedly it is one of Alice's non-erotic pictures, but I wonder who has produced the phone case? Are we seeing the start of a marketing campaign for Alice memorabilia? What an amazing thing that would be.
I can understand it being sold out - please can you provide any details about the product and supplier? Perhaps there is a range of Met Art girls phone cases etc? Anyway, I shall look forward to whatever information you can provide. Thanks very much for this gem!

Bet you wouldn't mind one for Christmas...
Thanks - I just found it (simultaneously with your last post) on Amazon!Here's your link, Bob

Described as, 'Alice Kiss Phone Case For Ipad' by Mei-lin, and yes, there is a range of phone cases featuring Met Art girls (although confusingly, 'Met Art Phone Cases' appears to be a different manufacturer/supplier, not connected with our Met Art.) It would certainly make a lovely Christmas present, even if it did not fit my phone!
Under customer questions, it says:-
'Typical questions asked about products:
- Is the item durable?'
A picture of Alice taken ten years ago appears on a phone case and is already sold out.
Yes, I would say that makes her durable.
Maybe not so nice for the viewer, but fantastic for the manip artist. Easy to cut out.
The execution scaffold from the 1977 'Jesus of Nazareth' TV series has inspired a number of crux manipulators, including Damian (#2) and Julie and Melissa (#3). Alice takes centre stage in Damian's dramatic ensemble of agony. I am unable to identify her companions, who may be composite figures (suggestions welcome.) Alice retains her original bindings in accordance with DOFantasy's ban on nails and blood, and she has acquired some dark pubic hair. The titulus carries wording different from the original in the TV series, and I believe this is Damian's text. It appears to be Greek, and a translation would be appreciated, if anyone can assist?
Damian has produced a compact scene containing a multi-figure composition with consistent colouring, scale and lighting. The subdued tones contribute to the sinister atmosphere, and this is developed by Julie and Melissa in a monochrome sepia interpretation of the same background scene, which includes the same text on the titulus. Alice has been relegated to the lower right corner, with Makar's Jane overhead and Oxana in the centre of the picture (with a Falco girl beneath her.) The number of crucified girls is actually double that of Damian's picture, although the two on the left are only just visible. A hazy sun has been introduced to enhance the suggestion of soft backlighting.
Recently posted by Apostate is the unidentified manipulation at #6, based on a late work by Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824 - 1904) entitled, 'Departure of the Cats from the Circus', dated 1902 (#7.) Some of the figures in the manipulation are Gérôme's originals but all of the naked females have been added, including at least four identifiable Makar models. Already crucified on Gérôme's previously incinerated bodies are Christina (left) and Nastia (centre). I am unable to identify the third girl crucified on the right, or the figures spreadeagled on the ground. The curious oval halos are probably an addition by somebody other than the manip artist or Gérôme.
Alice and Koshka enter the arena, roped to their patibula, exactly as they appear in Makar's original picture. Alice still wears her shackles and the slight compromise in perspective with these two figures in the scene is barely noticable. In Gérôme's painting, the action is over and the crowds are departing. Their departure is equally evident in the manipulation, although the action here is far from finished. The picture presents a good blend of painted and photographic elements, and achieves a successful overall effect.

I seem to remember that the bloke on the ladder was a long time member of this forum called PhilX. It was Apostate who pointed out that he did a lot of pics of himself for use in such scenes, especially women as part of a crowd scene. He would add the black hair and different coloured robes afterwards as in this pic of Easter Funday. Most of the women are PhilX
Thanks for the information, Melissa - I had no idea about PhilX doing that, and it is rather fascinating.
I have fond memories of 'Easter Funday', and was most impressed when I first saw it.
It looks just as good today as when I discovered it - and first encountered Eul and yourself!

As Melissa says, PhilX has always used himself as a model as both victim and crowd.
He has a unique style which is readily recognisable, and his backgrounds and crowd scenes are often used by other artists.
He is still around and posting on the Foundation, but he has personally lost a lot of his older work.
Thanks Phlebas - very impressive work by PhilX.
I can certainly understand why images of this quality get reused.
A pity he has lost so much of his original work.
The titulus says LATRO in Latin, ΛΗΣΤΗΣ (λῃστής) in Greek, both mean 'robber'.
The Hebrew presumably means the same, but you'd have to ask Zephyros for that.
Goodness, that's a memory that's been asleep these few years!
At least one person read our blog - nice to know that was how you found us, Bob!

I didn't know who you all were back then, but it is so good to have made your acquaintance since.
Happy New Year everybody!
