Lace Trails

A simple sky transforms from clear blue to a mass of lace trails, expanding into our atmosphere, falling on the land.

Star

Found by a friend, distant yet not alone. Take late arrivals not hastily but withy-worthy of substance, not abuse.

End

A jumble of glittered alphabetical stickers, silver paper transfer, Egyptian hieroglyphic images set in stone, powdered lapis lazuli, and the epic I Grade Records logo with Vaughn of Midnite.

Pawn of Choice

Inevitability abounds. Have you ever felt like you’re being played? There is an agenda and like it or not, you are a part of it either consciously or unconsciously. Let’s agree the powers that be are decidedly watching, waiting, and anticipating. The time is approaching and the choice becomes more clear by the second.

Ethereal

Pertaining to the air or the sky, blending pixels upon which to fly.

Some believe their life is a dream, wading through reality’s beam.

Positive

Continuous mindfulness is a possibility for all of us. Existing from moment to moment is truly a present. Whatever you resonate will be your reality, positively!

Whole

We are more than the sum of our parts. Labeled, divided, separated from nature...this is how ‘they’ would like us to perceive ourselves. However, the truth is that ‘they’ are actually a part of ‘us’ regardless of their denial. Integrated as a whole ‘we’ are one.

Journal

If it’s all about memories and remembering with little time spent on the present, recording thoughts or images may assist in processing the unimaginable. Trauma has found it’s way into everyone’s life, nature is harsh, so survival is the goal. Healing happens at unexpected times.

Fab-Glam

Cotton candy hair, jeweled pupils, and white gold eyelashes all contained within nature’s crystal ball. High fashion and flawless skin propel the perfect illusion. We all choose the mask we wear.

Turn Mayan 2012

Non-ecological theories of Maya decline are divided into several subcategories, such as overpopulation, foreign invasion, peasant revolt, and the collapse of key trade routes. Ecological hypotheses include environmental disaster, epidemic disease, and climate change. There is evidence that the Maya population exceeded the carrying capacity of the environment including exhaustion of agricultural potential and overhunting of megafauna. Some scholars have recently theorized that an intense 200 year drought led to the collapse of Maya civilization.

Livalect or lyaric is a created dialect of English in use among members of the Rastafari movement. Wordsound, derived from the Rastafari principle of “Word, Sound and Power”, has often been compared to West African concepts regarding a power of essence being encapsulated within the pronounced sound of a name or word. In Jamaican Patois irie means powerful and pleasing, excellent, highest, and to be at peace with your total state of being. Wishing everyone an IRIE 4/20 and an empowering Earth Day!

Images Breathe Life

Quite a few years back I attended a class on how to journal. It was more about letting go and releasing your creativity, whatever that may be. Allowing art to happen is a majority of the challenge, we all have the ability, we just have to let it flow.

Universal Energy

The Fibonacci sequence is named after Leonardo of Pisa, who was known as Fibonacci. By definition, the first two numbers in the Fibonacci sequence are 0 and 1, and each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two.

Sketching

Journal ideas & emotions, sketch on top of your writing, highlight certain words, hide others. Think graffiti but with your own refined personal tag. Either aesthetically pleasing or repulsive, mixed media successfully creates something new & original from something old & commonplace.

Photo Journaling

Art can literally be anything. I began to photo journal by collecting images that caught my eye and reprocessing them into something totally unique. Juxtaposition of unexpected images creates an erie feel of surrealism. This is as Dali-esque as I get.

Mary Lisa

If she was sensimilla this is what she would look like. Integrating mother nature into Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa encourages the viewer to take another look, a sideways glance if you will. An all-time classic infused with a bit of drug culture.
