A rumination on our passage through the winds of time, how our precarious Self or Selves continue to evolve throughout our lives, and how much we change from the genesis of who we were when we were young and innocent, saw everything, and knew nothing.  

Time had seemed infinite when I knew who I was

COWBELL 01

Those who realize their folly are not true fools 
-Zhuangzi

Acting foolish is something that many frown upon, but the peace found in this image of this vibrant Sacred Clown tells a different tale.  For she understand fully that much of the wisdom acquired on her journey to illumination has come from her ability to fail forward and accept that not everyone will understand her backwards way of thinking and behaving. It is said that the meaning of insanity is attempting the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result, but for this spirited shaman, unique and different will always result in more understanding of herself on her path to equilibrium.

Not All Whos Are In Whoville

We are often judged by our outer appearance... when who we truly are... exists deep within. When we are able to get in touch with our inner most self, our true self comes to the surface. We often shine different parts of ourselves at different times, depending on the situation or relationship. To know yourself, is to live your best life.

In July 2022, while recovering from Covid, I began a new series of abstract paintings. Blue Chill, shown here, was the second in the series. It is a static digital image with some of my favorite hues and colors. Working in Procreate and layering to get the desired color and tone was an arduous testing process and micro-adjusting. I have tested these by printing them on Cold Press Archival paper if any buyer is interested. I am offering this as a one-of-one NFT.

Color Abstraction is a series of digital paintings. I spent the last year experimenting with several digital tools and in Procreate. Once the image was made, I played with the opacity levels blending colors and getting the colors to where the color planes in geometric shapes worked.

While I was driving South from Baltimore to Charlotte, and back, I listened to Overgound Railroad: The Green Book. My wife took a photo of my angel on my dashboard, and she drew a doorway while we hung out with the author.

I am drawn to blueprints and roadmaps, how they help others on a journey through past and future. This mashup is a mixed media collage; hand drawing and vintage text and imagery. There are pieces scattered across Tezos. 

If I were the gan/ai, here are the images in my search to create The Dreamer Handbook.

Dreamer Handbook 00

The Global Tribes Collection is inspired by mankind’s quest for knowledge, adventure and survival through the ages. This collection is a tribute to humanity and the ways we have evolved.

I created this collection with the belief that we all have a stake in the future of our planet, and that we are all connected by one common thing: our humanity.

The Global Tribe Collection is universal because it represents all cultures, races and religions; it's global because it includes people from every continent; and it's tribal because it celebrates some of humanity's earliest forms of expression.

Sharing the darkest parts of the quarantine, this AI/Gan Art depicts June 2020 - July 2021 and a unique cocktail of events that led to my own unfortunate experience. 

Art has been the medicine to heal the grief and help me push through during this most difficult era in human history. May we seek to understand the systemic patterns that create these barriers to access and better healthcare for people who live and love in a way that wasn’t written into oaths and textbooks. This art is for the ancestors who carried me through and the wonderful circle of women and spiritual humans that guide my hand and support me.

“Instances of pseudocyesis have dropped significantly in the United States over the last century. In the 1940s, cases of false pregnancy occurred in approximately 1 out of every 250 pregnancies. That number has declined to between 1 and 6 cases for every 22,000 births.” - False (Phantom) Pregnancy: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatments, Healthline.com

"I love you and that's the beginning and end of everything." - F.Scott Fitzgerald

Never in her wildest dreams did this Sacred Clown believe that she would have met another Soul to have brought such intense feelings into her being. "Is this Black Magic a trick or was there just something wrong with her?", she tirelessly pondered. He was so funny, kind to others and every time she locked eyes with him she was flooded with feelings that she never felt before. As scary as each encounter with him became, this lively clown just wanted to be drown in the deliciousness of sensation that was activated by being near him. Could it be possible that love has even made its way to this unbridled healer and that she too could have a Twin Soul who could walk alongside her on her journey to Illumination?
