I’m going to try something for the next little while to break what I feel is a creative block. For a little while now I’ve been preoccupied with several other life events: completing a new certification in Art Therapy; preparing for a new year of teaching art and the first time teaching to teenagers; completingA … Continue reading A Creative Block Project – Day 1
What The Hell Is Coming Out Of The Centre Of This Tree?!?
There’s a skull-like face, with big hollow, black eyes. It seems to be extending an arm out and pointing out into the forest. The shadows cast upon this tree also look like figures dancing on the bark. These visions quickly disappear the closer one gets to the tree, but from afar, the imagination runs wild!What … Continue reading What The Hell Is Coming Out Of The Centre Of This Tree?!?

T.A.E.’s Art Reviews – La Foule Québécoise: Un
The composition presents itself as a deliberately hybrid surface—part pictorial scene, part textual artifact, and part emblematic portrait. Its dominant field of burnt-orange and vermilion functions less as “background” than as an ideological climate: a warm, saturated plane that is scratched, rubbed, and worked with visible texture, suggesting a process-oriented practice in which meaning accrues … Continue reading T.A.E.’s Art Reviews – La Foule Québécoise: Un
T.A.E.’s Art Reviews – The Harshness of My Gaze
The piece presents a frontal, iconic figure—rendered through a limited but high-contrast palette of smoky gray, soot-like black, and weathered earth tones—whose material surface is as legible as the image itself. The face is built from abrasions, scorings, and accumulated marks that resemble abrasion in stone, the patina of time, or the residue of repeated … Continue reading T.A.E.’s Art Reviews – The Harshness of My Gaze
Unusual Green
My camera was picking up the green tint of the sunlight pushing through the canopy. It coloured everything green. Regardless of the filter, I played with, I couldn’t render the grayscales of these mushrooms. So, I’ll leave them with their toxic-radiation-green hue. I wonder if they glow in the moonlight too??? Prints & more available … Continue reading Unusual Green

“Forget the Stars, Your Vibe Writes the Future” (Revisionist Shakespeare – Sonnet 14 for Gen Z)
I don't get my wisdom from the stars online;No zodiac post or cosmic chart tells me your fate.I know enough to guess the storms and sunshine,But predicting your whole life? Nah, that's kinda fake. I can't tell who'll blow up, who'll fall apart,Or what tomorrow's algorithm will create;I can't see who's lucky, cursed, or playing … Continue reading “Forget the Stars, Your Vibe Writes the Future” (Revisionist Shakespeare – Sonnet 14 for Gen Z)
“Forget the Damn Horoscope—People Show You Who They Are.” (Revisionist Shakespeare – Sonnet 14 for Gen X)
Forget your horoscope—that's not where I get my read;I'm no psychic with a crystal ball and incense smoke.Yeah, I know enough to call the weather or smell trouble,Guess when the economy'll tank or who's about to choke. I can't tell you when the next shitshow's gonna hit,Or why some poor bastard always draws the short … Continue reading “Forget the Damn Horoscope—People Show You Who They Are.” (Revisionist Shakespeare – Sonnet 14 for Gen X)
