Downloading
Please be kind to my bandwidth if you must get some of these pictures. Download them, and put them into your Share folder on your Gnutella client. Please try to let people know the works were created by Philo Vivero and include a link to philovivero dot com or faemalia dot net if you can. I would not complain if anyone wanted to mirror this page.
Buying Prints
You can have a print for the cost of the print (right now at ofoto.com they'll do nice matte finish 20"x30" prints for $23, or 16"x20" for $18) plus a $10 donation to EFF, FSF, and ACLU. This is very easy, just go to my Affero donation page and make the donation there: Philo Vivero's Affero Donation Page.
The image pixel size (X by Y) is given per image so you can decide if it's large enough to make a print you'd actually enjoy. Most of the images are large enough that a decent poster-size print will look fine, but one or two are rather small. Let me know if you want a print of any of these that you don't already see in this ofoto.com photo album.
You really shouldn't use any picture from this page to create prints yourself, because I have a higher resolution version I can send for you. It's just an on-your-honour donation to get me to do this, so you can lie to me and say you donated and get a higher quality print. But please don't lie, just donate the $10. You'll feel better.
Older artwork reborn...
Back in the day, when I had oodles of time on my hands, I did pencil on paper artwork for hours and hours on end. I threw away most of the trash, but some of it I scanned into the computer for posterity at wonderous 300dpi. Lately, I pulled a bunch of it up into Gimp (a Photoshop-like replacement for Linux) and did some colourisation and playing with effects. That is what you see here.
Asian with Trenchcoat -- An asian girl with a trenchcoat on a
cold, windy, rainy night. She's the sort who really doesn't mind
cold, wind, rain, or night. Fullsize is 1359x3110.
Assassin -- An assassin with two right hands, a gun, and a knife.
Oh, and no clothes or hair. It just doesn't get any better than this. Fullsize is 1455x1871.
Milky Way -- A girl with a lot of freckles in an awesome pattern
on her body. And, she's been airbrushed by someone. I mean, someone
airbrushed her body before the picture was made. Fullsize is 3180x3615.
Collage Femalia -- A collage of three of my favourite pictures, together
in one desktop-sized picture. Fullsize is 1600x1200.
Collage of Beauty -- A cute Phillipina sitting in front of a collage of
women somewhere in the Pacific southwest. Fullsize is 2550x3486.
Exceedingly Fractal -- A very cute asian girl's face floating on a
field of blue and yellow fractal swirls. Fullsize is 1600x1600.
a Girl in Blue -- Here in the city of San Francisco, you can find a
lot of unique and interesting clubs. Once inside, you can see all manner
of amazing and astounding things. Neon blue hallways with strange
back-lit recesses. The odds are, though, you'll never see anything like
this. This is fantasy. Fullsize is 1735x3181.
the Girl With the Wind In Her Hair -- A girl in the summertime stands
in her back yard and lets the breeze ruffle her hair and blow it all
around in an interesting fashion. Fullsize is 1928x2683.
Hyperreal -- A semi-young woman on a hyperreal background image.
Let's see you come up with a better description. Fullsize is 1024x1440.
The Jockey -- A young lady with a passion for horses poses with her cap
and riding gloves. In her haste, she hasn't bothered to put anything else on.
Fear not. She's comfortable this way. Fullsize is 924x1390.
Kissing Girls -- A large concept picture of several women eyeing each
other and two of them eventually kissing each other after a long gaze into
each others' eyes. Fullsize is 2673x3839.
Little Anime Girl -- A girl with a bit of stylistic exaggerations.
Actually, not one of my better days on this one. I wouldn't bother
looking at it unless you just worship the deity that enabled all the
other images. Fullsize is 1100x1656.
Natural Beauty -- A girl with a body piercing in a field near a
stump of a tree prepares to sit down while butterflies flit into the
breeze. It is a beautiful, sunny day. Fullsize is 1800x2730.
Nude on Fractal II -- A fractally bodypainted woman on a fractal
field getting ready to pick herself up and walk away. Fullsize is 1200x950.
Nude with the Gimp -- A nude woman sits in front of a computer that's
spewing forth some binary haze. Her ear-ring is custom-made and
betrays her good sense in operating system design. Fullsize is 1800x2770.
On the Bed -- A semi-Asian girl lying in the bed, with her friend
off-frame below. This image was created on another one of those
"off" days. I wouldn't look at it on purpose. Fullsize is 2523x3275.
On the Cross -- A classical beauty in a classical pose. This woman
isn't really on a cross, but is posing in a way that would make you
think so. I just say this because I know the self-righteous jesus freaks
from the midwest have email accounts, too. Fullsize is 1600x2400.
Rose -- A woman reclines somewhat inverted with a rose, and looks
at you. She is considering whether she should get up and get some
clothes on, or just to continue looking at you. To be honest, I don't
think she's planning on going anywhere anytime soon. She looks too
comfortable. Fullsize is 1800x2461.
Stargazer -- This is one of my favourite pictures of alltime. A running,
glowing woman on a C-code starfield (yes, it's C code for a C compiler -- long
story short, the original scan of the artwork was from greenbar paper from a
compiler construction project at the University of Kansas). The picture name
is throwing rays of light forth into the darkness. Fullsize is 1100x1600.
Tatianya (the Little Russian Runaway) -- Called the Little Russian
Runaway, but she wasn't really a runaway. Just little. And Russian. Fullsize is 1375x3088.
This is Necessary -- You must know a musical group called Tool to
understand that this is necessary. Fullsize is 1565x3025.
Winsome Woman -- A winsome woman reminisces about her past. Like the
week before when she went topless sunbathing at a beach in Germany, or that
time when she visited her uncle in Luxembourg. Fullsize is 2000x2734.
the Young Vampiress -- A young vampiress shows her amusement at
the old superstition that the cross will scare away, burn, or otherwise
harm a vampire. Fullsize is 1654x3446.
Newer Stuff
Some of these images began their lives as Curious Labs Poser renders. I do not personally own a copy of Poser, but instead spent a few afternoons at an acquaintance's house building them out. If you want me to create more Poser-based artwork, you either have to pay my gas to get down to San Francisco and pay my acquaintance to let me use his computer, or buy me a copy of the program.
- Everlasting -- The natural beauty of a deep, dark forest during mid-day. This is a prototype image for the cover of The Eternal Conflict. Photograph? Photomanipulated? You be the judge. Fullsize is 1800x1200.
the Dancing Girls -- Two girls dance with each other in a dark,
cold room with the dancing shadows of trees upon them. And yet, there
is a hint of a smile on their lips. Fullsize is 2200x3854.

Ephemeral Girls -- Two ladies floating in the ether doing what people do
when they're in heaven, no doubt. Fullsize is 1800x2125.
Fallen -- A girl tumbling through the society of zero ethics,
but there must be hope for her... Beware. Her hair is flat, which
implies that perhaps it has hit something solid. Fullsize is 1800x2096.
Flame of Hope -- A woman with an intense desire to live a free life
shoots flames from her hands into the sky and enjoys living a little bit
while she can. She is truly peaceful despite her violent appearance. Fullsize is 1500x1598.
Flying Girl -- She is in a dark place, but she makes her own light.
Sometimes, life is just that way. Fullsize is 2327x3190.
Jacquelyna Birthing -- A more specific "Vampiress Birth" image to
deal with the vampiress character Jacquelyna in The Eternal Conflict. Fullsize is 2796x1940.
Majestic Blue Room -- A woman flies in a strange blue and
yellow room. There are too many rich, deep colourful lights in this
room, and it's hard to tell what is real and what is false. Fullsize is 1280x2727.
Saviour -- This poor lady collapsed in the middle of a fractal
field, and another came along to save her. They're now both in
relatively good spirits, as you can see. The big bonus is, they're
both bodypainted with super-cool glow-in-the-dark body paint! Fullsize is 2400x2684.
a Vampiress Birth -- An interesting thought: how do vampiresses
come into existence? Ann Rice figured it was when a mortal drinks the
blood of an immortal upon dying (or something). Sounds reasonable. But
why not just asexual reproduction? You know, one just separates into
two smaller vampiresses. Why not? The picture Jacquelyna Birthing,
above, is probably a better depiction of this. Fullsize is 2900x1935.
SVG Drawings
These SVG (Scaleable Vector Graphics) drawings were done with SodiPodi, a GNU GPL 2D drawing program. You can get it for Windows, but I used the Linux version to make these drawings.
With SVG drawings, there is no concept of "full size," as the above art work mentions. SVG drawings are... that's right... scaleable. So if you want a 10pixel x 10pixel print of my SVG drawings, you go right on ahead and satisfy your cubistic tendencies. If you think you must have quality, and only 600dpi will work for your 60"x90" print, just go ahead and make yourself a 36,000x54,000 image and send it off to the printers!

a Time for Sleeping -- a Time for Loving -- A lovely auburn-haired
woman lying on a satin violet sheet with a penchant for smiles and
cheer thinks of spending a happy afternoon with her good friend
on the beaches of Orange County.

Asian Stylistic Girl -- This is an angry Asian woman thinking
about getting into an argument with someone. This picture was
created when after making a scribble, her face and a large chunk
of her hair materialised out of the ether. I spent the next couple
of hours finishing the scribble into this.

the Captivation of a Youthful Soul -- A young woman stands regarding
her reflection in a mirror, while the ghosts of her echo in the
distance. But this is only the surface. Does she smile? Is it really
a reflection in the mirror, or only another woman on the other side
of a pane of glass? Meanwhile, more reflections stand outside
her world and look in, mesmerised by the scene playing out within.

Illustrated Nude -- This is a nude which some claim is a Japanese
style, and which others claim looks nothing like Japanese style. I might
place more merit on the latter claims, because I didn't try to make this
drawing in any sort of Japanese style. This one was created after a
scribble gave form to her arm. I decided to fill in the rest from that
inspiration.

Surprised Woman -- A sort of anime-looking woman in front of a strange
portal to the exact same dimension stands on her tippy toes and thinks about
a man she knew a long, long time ago. The image was created after I made
a scribble that looked a bit like an Japanese Anime girl. I tried to finish
it in that style, but got distracted, so here is what you get.

Anasong Asian -- This is a woman sitting in front of her
ultra-cubistic and abstract Chinese privacy wall. Her name, Anasong,
is inspired by a beautiful Asian lady, who sings us a beautiful song
of peace, love, hope, and harmony.

Jennifer -- This is a young woman playing in the lights of a
throbbing nightclub, listening to the latest remixes of Skinny Puppy,
Rammstein, Stabbing Westward, and Rob Zombie. Occassionally there's
a nice remix of a Peter Murphy song, too.

Sublime Dancers -- A Korean and Welsh woman dancing in the lonely
confines of a once-bustling flat in downtown San Francisco console
each other with the grace and style of fluid movements while the
wind blows a haunting but hopeful tune to the human condition.

the Taiwanese Princess -- There is a little island off the coast of
Mainland Chinda called Taiwan. Subject of a lot of strange little
political oddities due to its original claim of being the legitimate
government of China, Taiwan is continually interesting. This is a
picture to celebrate the uniqueness of Taiwan.
