Phoenix Peacock, is one of my favorite mixed animals I’ve been obsessing over lately. It’s a cross between a Phoenix bird and a Peacock. The background is a Art Night work I did with others during that painting night session. I played with the hue and saturation bar a little and I think it turned […]
I’ve been keeping busy these last couple of months focusing a little on the self so to speak and practicing to look good feel good. I gained 30 pounds hitting a good 159 pounds this month. It’s nice to break record highs for weight but my worst fear of losing my shape is getting to […]
It’s starting to be difficult to describe the art and things that are running through my head right now.. therefore I have started painting and rendering pictures to describe my experience in life. Just snippets and snapshots of ideas and things I see and have come to terms with and have resolved. Animethon is coming […]
Just spent the day working on a mythological creature – The Golden Gryphon. I figured it would be a really good way to make my entrance into the Electronic Arts world of animation and concept art/drawing. This is probably my second attempt/day on the cintique tablet. I’m just experimenting with lighting and shadows as well […]
My gate is always open. A link to my secret prayers page. Above is just a fun exploration of 3 dimensional space to keep my mind sharp. So here’s the story short. I got ill from a psychosis and suffered severely from delusions for a awhile and thus got hospitalized. As soon as I got […]
The Left and Right Hemisphere’s of the brain working together for a resulting iterative moderate solution. Here are some golden rules for studies based on artistic right and analytical math based left. (The diagram below is facing you and is the reason why it looks backwards.) There are two basic sides and approaches to doing […]
High expectations, low resolve. I know I’ve been hard on him all my life and sometimes it was hard to set aside our differences, majority of the time. I believe throughout his life he’s had this conflict of expecting a lot but never settling for less than what he wanted to see happen. His resolve […]
I’ve finally got around to organize and show the best of my work while at Anderson Hospital. The 6 months, I must say was – a miracle – and I pulled through with flying colors. I am hoping to catalog and archive these paintings on this post. I am planning to adjust the paintings into […]
This week I did a mix of animals, abstract and environments that I hope you’ll like. First I did a Golden Eagle. Secondly, I did Golf Greens which hangs in the Alberta Hospital. Thirdly I made a “Desert Oasis” overlooking a lake. Next, I did an abstract picture that represents “Perspectives” of many entities. Finally, […]
This is week 3 of my painting spree. The theme is the connection between nature and the great duality of it’s feminine and masculine entities. Sunset Tree Flaming Leaves and Roots Greater Spirits Duality of Creation Equinox Seasons by Trees Animal Totems The first picture allowed me to play with the moss and bark of […]
My mother had dementia. She used to talk to all kinds of people in her dreams. She’d even talk to my dad (who had been dead for years) and he’d tell her stuff my brother and I had been doing – things she couldn’t have known about any other way!
I always viewed her dementia as a way of moving out of space and time while she was still in her body, so she could revisit bits of her life and process them properly. She’d always been one to hide her true feelings and put on a mask.
I don’t know if I was right, but listening to the things she said, that’s what seemed to be happening. I think their dreams are all they have, after a while.

Oh sorry to hear about your mother =(. Dementia is not fun. Ye it was really profound what i felt when i went to that world. I wasn’t scared but more.. uneasy and disturbed a little. I think this is true though about dementia patients.. maybe dreams are all they have left.
The book came in the mail today. Every article was like– oh ho ho- i wonder if i should have left this controversial part out. I wonder how many people with Christian, Muslim or Jewish background will be reading. Because i was so critical of them. I hope they can all take a punch or two to the stomach.. because i was very forward with the truth i saw in the situation. I can’t wait to hear the part where even though i’ve meticulously designed the book to provoke emotions i wonder if they’ll think i’m going to get comments of insensitivity. I hope they enjoy the ride, because sometimes truth hurts lol.
