A burnt out car wreck I found in a local forest… and I was supposed to be looking for nice things to photograph! Humanity is destroying the Earth and killing its soul with its greed and disrepect… but if history is any indication Mother Earth will fight back and eventually out live us all. Our buildings will crumble, our cars rust and our bodies turn to dust…and the scars we have left will heal.

views: 522 / favs: 15 Taken May 20, 2007 with a Fuji E-510. See my Miura Coast calendar. This rock in, known as Shiroyama (literally means “white mountain”), is located Arasaki Park (Yokosuka, Japan). Yokosuka is a city in Miura near Hayama, the town where I did my internship. Hayama is renowned for the beach and green hills, and this place was just a drive down. Hayama literally means “leaf mountain” in Japanese, and indeed Hayama is full of green mountains. The coast of Yokosuka, Hayama; along with other cities in Miura are popular for their beaches and offer a rich experience with nature.

views: 511 / favs: 16 Image straight from the camera. Taken on January 11, 2009 with an Olympus FE-340 It was the first day of the year that the weather in London was beautiful so I spent the day outdoor walking through the parks, and the squirrels are very friendly. This particular shot was in Green Park. While I was trying to set-up my camera to take a photo, this little guy suddenly climbed up my leg! (I missed the opportunity to take its picture while it was there) I looked down at it, and it looks to the side as though saying “I didn’t do anything…” (see image in first comment), then it runs behind me and tries to climb up my knapsack; then runs in front me, spirals up the pole and pokes its head to the side going “Peek-a-boo!” After it climbed down I brought my hand out. It grabbed my finger for a little while, but took off before I could get a picture then :-( ... But atleast I captured the funny Peek-a-boo moment! The light and dark areas in the eye may look like the iris and the sclera of the eye, but that is actually caused by reflections; The dark bit at the bottom left corner of the eye is a reflection of myself with the camera: / / / Also available at Zazzle / /

Gaia, goddess of the Earth / Your children when combined / Provide the seed to give life birth / As we know life defined / / Inseparable three children are / Mountain, Sea, and the Sky / For if these three became afar / Earth’s life would surely die / / Your children share each others gifts / Exchange these gifts all day / Rotated in unending shifts / So life on Earth can stay / / The Gaia hypothesis is an ecological hypothesis that proposes that living and nonliving parts of the earth are a complex interacting system that can be thought of as a single organism. / / Named after the Greek Earth goddess, this hypothesis postulates that all living things have a regulatory effect on the Earth’s environment that promotes life overall. / / This fractal artwork depicts this infinite symbiotic relationships that make Gaia, or our Mother Earth, the living and sustainable planet that it is. I have provided cutaways of the artwork below to view as I narrate the significance of that particular segment of the artwork. The cutaways are at 33% to give you an idea as to the complexity of the artwork. / / First, the overall shape of the artwork is not completely round. It is ever so slightly elliptical, as is the Earth, which has a greater circumference around the equator than it does across the poles. This is due to the fact that our Mother Earth is not a big rock, but rather fluid and alive under her thin skin called her crust, which itself floats around the globe as moving tectonic islands. Being fluid within, the centrifugal force of the earth’s own rotation causes the elliptical bulge on the plane of the equator. / / The lines in the artwork are continuous, with no beginning or end. This represents the symbiotic and cyclic nature of the Gaia hypothesis, whereas, all parts of Gaia are both dependent and interconnected to one another. We will follow these lines as I continue to describe the artwork. / / Water – The True Ambrosia / / When scientists go looking for life in the cosmos today, they consider first a planet’s ability to sustain liquid water. It is surmised by science today, that usually where you find liquid water, you will have a high probability of finding life. This is the key feature of our Gaia, the water planet, comprising 70% of the planets surface. / / In Greek mythology, Gaia gave birth to Pontus (the Sea). / Our own bodies are composed just like the earth, as we are about 70% water, and 30% solids. Water is found in all living organisms we know of on Earth. Our oceans also play a key role in the creation and sustainability of our protective atmosphere, pumping massive amounts of oxygen into the air. Water is the life blood of Gaia. / / Land – The Incubator / / Where water meets land becomes an ideal place to spark evolution and create the larger and more complex living organisms that inhabit land, sea, and sky. Warmed by land’s ability to absorb and retain solar energy in the form of heat, water becomes an ideal incubator for beneficial microorganisms. These microorganisms then evolve into more complex cellular life forms. So as in the artwork, where water mixes with minerals of the land, the tree of life roots down to bear it’s many varieties of life. / / In Greek mythology, Gaia gave birth to Ourea (the Mountains). / We can find most of the natural minerals of the earth within the solids content of our own bodies. We are as tied to the land as we are to the water. / / Tree of Life – The Mixer / / Life branches out, and an unlimited number of new life forms are created, with each of them forming their own ‘tree of life’ in the process and starting the cycle anew. This also represents the ‘core’ of the Gaia… an infinitely small point in a singularity where gravity is equalized, magnetism is equalized, and even space is equalized. The point at which energies, gravitational and electromagnetic, instantaneously become exact opposites of their previous energy states, this in turn creating enormous amounts of feedback energy in the process, starting the cycle anew. / / Breath of Life – The Exchanger / / Vegetation exhaling it’s life’s by-products as beneficial gases for the atmosphere, and at the same time, breathing in the by-products of the atmosphere as beneficial compounds to fuel it’s growth. Energy for this entire process is provided courtesy of our local star. This is also the exchange that provides breathable air for most of the animal branch of evolution. / / In Greek mythology, Gaia gave birth to Uranus (the Sky). / All life on Gaia, breathe life from the atmosphere, as much as they do from her water. / / Lung of Life – The Chemical Matrix / / Complex chemical reactions between particles of water, minerals, and gases are fueled by the sun high in the atmosphere creating a transport for water in the form of clouds. The clouds allow water to overcome the problems with gravity that would otherwise imprison it to the seas, and allows water to return back to the higher land, where in turn it nourishes life along the entire course of it’s trip back to the sea. Now the cycle of life on the living planet has come full cycle and is ready to begin another, yet unique, cycle. / / Shield of Life – The Force Field / / Gaia has two forms of shielding that protect life. The first is her electromagnetic gravitational field, that forms a protective envelope around Gaia as she travels through space, deflecting harmful solar radiation by conducting it around herself. The second is the atmosphere itself, being dense enough to incinerate most of the objects that we encounter on our journey before they can reach the surface. The atmosphere also provides the filter that allows a beneficial amount of solar energy to penetrate the atmosphere, while deflecting the greater amount of harmful solar particles and wavelengths of light back out into space. / / All of these components of Gaia are interconnected and dependent on one another. Because of this fact, Gaia, by definition, should be classified as a single living organism. An organism dependent of the health of all its components to guarantee the organisms health as a whole. / / The original artwork is 6000×6000 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. The gradient was created in ApoMap, a gradient editor commonly used with Apophysis. The fractal was created as a transparency and then used as a separate layer in Photoshop. The background gradient was created in Photoshop. / /

Came 2ND RUNNER-UP in LIFE ABSTRACTED / IMAGE FEATURED IN 100% GROUP / AGAIN FEATURED IN PiMT I painted this piece for my friend. Painting is acrylic on studio stretched canvas & staple free sides. Dimensions are 24×48 inches. SOLD A friend of mine said my work “Roots of Gaia” reminded him of Frida Kahlo’s work so I went to investigate. Even though it wasn’t directly inspired by Frida, I find her pieces resembling few of my own including ideas flowing. I found this perticuliar pretty resembling piece in terms of title and colours choices used. How cool!!!!!

Over seven years ago, I became increasingly aware of the Earth changes and shifts in energy. Initially I tried to ignore them or find “logical” explanations as to what was happening, but eventually I was overwhelmed by what was happening on all levels around me. / Gradually I realized that it was the Earth herself who was trying to communicate with me.. / So I was compelled to take pen and paper and go and sit quietly in nature and ask “What is it you wish to tell me?” ...and this is what she said / ....... It has taken a long time for me to do this, but what was written back in 2003 has now been published in a book together with a collection of my images, and will be available for those who wish to read the message or honour the planet that we would be nothing without. This piece of art is to celebrate the publication of the book, Message From Mother Earth From the book….. “Do not be afraid. This is powerful awareness. But it is also useful and healing too. It teaches you that we can create the world we live in, by the power of our thoughts. You are seeing that your connection with every part of your life begins and ends within yourself, within your heart, within your true thoughts. You are part of this circle of life, this very web, this intricate design of cosmic energy. You are at the heart of it and from your heart comes the power to weave your own beautiful creation. It is within you to change, to heal, to create, and to simply BE. Do not overlook the importance of this knowledge. And do not overlook the magic. For if you can communicate with the planet you stand upon, and speak together from the heart, then nothing is impossible in heaven and earth! Believe it, and it shall be so. Disbelieve, and you hold only a hand full of dirt, and some air. I am real, and so are you, and we are connected.”

Gaia (or Gaea) is the elemental earth goddess in Greek mythology. She is the primal embodiment of earth and her name literally means Earth or Land in ancient Greek. She is considered a Mother Goddess or Great Goddess in the Greek pantheon. She is often depicted as a mature buxom woman. Original artwork measures 12.5×19 inches and is created with mixed media on dark green textured Strathmore paper.

• inspired by life…Save our planet “Global warming refers to climate change that causes an increase in the average temperature of the lower atmosphere. Global warming can have many different causes, but it is most commonly associated with human interference, specifically the release of excessive amounts of greenhouse gases. / • Global warming is one of the most serious challenges facing us today. To protect the health and economic well-being of current and future generations, we must reduce our emissions of heat-trapping gases by using the technology, know-how, and practical solutions already at our disposal”. ..... .. put a painting I did a portrait)( thru’ veins plug in then added the world on a new layer fusing them blending opacity etc; &
