Over the past year my health struggles have been building and truthfully, quite scary.  Over the past few months in particular I have not been well enough to create any new art and have been in bed most of each day, in constant excruciating pain.  

With every ounce of being I have put energy into creating this calendar, with generous support from my folks and friends at greenridgepress.com.au  Back in 2004 Greenridge Press also generously printed my book of autobiographical poetry, 'Stranger In The Moving Chair,' of which I still have copies for sale.

All artworks included in the calendar have been created over the past 5 years while I've been housebound - at best able to sit up for less than 4 hours throughout a day.  

I am so happy to be able to spread love into the world this way and be a presence in peoples' lives even from afar. 

May Peace Be With You.

Greeting: I don't know what to say...

"I Don't Know What To Say... But I'd rather say that than nothing at all..."

A few friends have been going through severe times lately.  I've been looking for an appropriate card - but 'Get well soon' when you have a long term chronic illness is like a kick in the face, you know it's not going to happen (well you may improve to a better level - hopefully - but it's highly unlikely you'll recover to being fully 'well'.)  And a sympathy card is not appropriate either, nobody's died - you're still alive, life is just incredibly hard for you!  There are times when I just don't know what to say.  So I thought I'd make a card that said just that.

I know from experience, especially in the early days of chronic long term illness, that I would rather hear from somebody that they have been thinking of me rather than feel isolated not realising others cared.  Sometimes just letting someone know you care - and acknowledging there is no 'quick fix' or 'cure', but you are still there - that means the world.  You don't have to 'fix' the problem.  Just being there is important beyond measure. And if you send a card like this and don't hear back - it's most often not because it's not appreciated.  It's appreciated perhaps even more so.  So send it with no agenda for a response.  Know your efforts will be appreciated, and reciprocated in spirit if not in practice!

A4 Pitt Pen on Watercolour Paper

Yesterday I was looking through Pinterest and found an amazing drawing of a cat and mouse, using Typography with the cat made out of the letters 'cat', and the mouse made out of the letters 'mouse'.  Unfortunately it was uncredited so I won't put a link to it here.

I loved the idea so much and went to bed aspiring to doing something like that myself.  

When I woke up this morning I was still thinking about it, so in my half asleep state went to my pencil and paper, and using the outline of a dove that I drew for my February 12th 2012 post 'Be Free'  I immediately started penciling in the word 'PEACE'....and immediately it worked!

 Here is my initial scribble:
