An anti-war sign with a cross between (does not equal) war and peace. War does not equal peace is very powerful. Also, John Lennon and Yoko Ono are positioned in the graffiti at the bottom with “War is Over, if you want it”.

We all suffer.

Through the decisions made
By men with big egos
And small penises.
Those in the wake
Of their pride
Must all suffer.

There are boundaries,
There are rules to this
Engagement, but
They aren’t followed.
Instead, everyone is in
This game of destruction.

Mothers, fathers,
Brothers, sisters,
Children…
They all suffer;
On both sides,
They all suffer.

There is nothing
To be done when
Big egos and
Small penises
Decide to
Wage war.

We all suffer.

There is no grand or best reason for war.

These are actions taken by people who allow their pride to speak for their fears. Instead of being awake, they close their eyes and decide that it is better if everyone suffers like them.

Be well, my friends.

Hey my friends!

I am starting another art project. This one is focusing on artists of all kinds where I interview them. I plan to make a series of these interviews and to call them collectively Dreaming While Awake. The point of these interviews is to better understand the artist’s focus, discipline methods, hopes, dreams, projects, and what they are moving towards.

For those interested, please reach out to me through one of my various connections shared in my LinkTree down below!

Thanks!

40 stories
Two young children, one draping an arm over the other, both facing away from the camera, walking down a dirt/gravel road to a distance not established. Upon the sides of the road are brush that are bristlely, short, and dry grass.
Porcelan doll face that is cracked and looking down and with the closed mouth, looking scared.

A person, how hands are hidden in front of them, stands just before an open lane at a bowling alley. All pins are set for a fresh take at the bowl. Neon lights are all around, the room feels dark and cool. It is ready to be played.
An individual is holding these multi-sided paper shaped three dimensional start in their hands while many others are floating all around them. The star being held is covering the individual’s face. This is to say “have imagination and let it flow from you.”

6 stories
A collection of natural images such as the ground of a forest, desert extending higher through the natural layers of our existence (moving through the trees, to the mountains, sky, then stars) showing our place in this reality of current.
