Everything I do is 100% human-conceived and physically hand-drawn! No longer willing to be merely a cog in the wheel of our mechanistic, tech-obsessed, top-down systems of existence, I create instead ethical, heart-centered art and human-imagined animation. I do this solely, with love, for my fellow Humans, Self-seekers, Wise Skywatchers - and on occasions, simply the Whimsically Amused! Seeing all about me a world I can no longer identify with, I am instead personally committed to working in a way that will embrace a new unity between Humanity, the Earth and the Heavens. Part of this work is my passion for 'Movement Art' - hand-crafted animation, inspired by 'art', not 'technology' or 'commerce'. In gently pushing back against generative AI in this way, I prefer instead to contribute towards a new world which is touched by human heart values, honest efforts and inner inspirations, far and away removed from those soulless algorithms!
If you're in sympathy with any of these values, then you're definitely in the right place!

POURING CLEAN WATER I once knew a wonderful teacher and wise man. One-day when I was complaining to him about my life, he told me that I should see it like a bucket of dirty water. He said that it does nothing but stir up the murk by trying to complain, to poke at it and to analyze what was making it murky. Instead, he said it would be much more effective if I simply kept pouring in clean water - i.e. good deeds - into the bucket. He assured me that the water will ultimately clear all by itself. Now, many decades later, I equate the world we live in with that bucket of dirty water. But instead of criticizing, complaining or trying to analyzing why it is like it is, it is far better to create a new, cleaner world by continually pouring clean water into it. This can be done by offering up our own good deeds, best efforts and little acts of kindness to everyone else. If enough of us do that, then our world will indeed ultimately change - to become the better one we all wish we had. The work found on this website represents the small drops of clean water I'm trying to pour into our world. What, I wonder, will be yours? We each have clean water to pour in our own personal ways ~ from little drops of kindness to great torrents of support, goodness and encouragement. You'll be surprised at how transformative and life-changing it can be for us - and for everyone else we share out planet with of course! MY LATEST SOCIAL MEDIA POST, FOR MY 'AI CAMERA' ART PRINT... Being a relative 'newbie' in the gallery art world, I wanted to communicate the quality of just some of my body of work as quickly, uniquely and attractively as I could on Instagram and other social media. I think this is a good start. There will be more! To know more about my life, animation and teaching work - watch my KBTC/PBS 'Profiles' interview HERE. |
