For Nolan – “Map Rock” doesn’t look like much today! Maybe 10,000 years ago, I bet it was impressive in a greener world! / Oh I should point out the ICE AGES melted around 12,000 years ago around here and Mammoth and saber-tooth tigers wandered around. Extinction is forever. I always wanted a mammoth; but feeding it or corralling it would have been a challenge! / Saber-tooth would have been easier to photo; as they didn’t climb trees! They ran fast on the ground, at you?

This is part of a rock art panel in Buckhorn Wash in Emery County, Utah.
‘Sun’ is from a pictograph near Santa Barbara, California and is a depiction of our sun with a medicine wheel in the center, which honors the 4 directions. I am making a sincere effort to present these designs as they originally appeared, with a wee bit of stylizing on my part. This series of tees is intended to honor the ancient ones and the art they left behind for us.
‘Fish’ is from a pictograph found in Jalisco, Mexico. It depicts the spotted black fish, which is associate with maize or corn. Green corn is called ‘black fish’ and is represented by this painting. I am making a sincere effort to present these designs as they originally appeared, with a wee bit of stylizing on my part.

Rock art – Newspaper Rock, Utah ‘Peek through the hole / And enjoy the lizard dance / Come see the lizards’ dance / Out of their skin / See them throw their first tails / Watch the hundredth tail / Form behind a purple body / Come see the lizards’ hypnotic dance’ / -Atrox I’ve had several people ask me now ‘how do you know that rock art is a lizard?’ – well, truthfully, I don’t, but are you really seeing everything that’s in the picture?
There are mines with iron hemititie in Area by Baker, OR; but this artist’s work per-dates any work of white men! Early 1800s Mountain men & trappers called this “Picture Gorge”. It has hundreds of primeval artistry.
oils & acrylics 18″ x 24″ x 2″ The quote for this work: “Archaeologists have not yet discovered any stage of human existence without art. Even in the half-light before the dawn of humanity we received this gift from Hands we did not manage to discern. Nor have we managed to ask: Why was this gift given to us and what are we to do with it? / And all those prophets who are predicting that art is disintegrating, that it has used up all its forms, that it is dying, are mistaken. We are the ones who shall die. And art will remain. The question is whether before we perish we shall understand all its aspects and all its ends. / Not all can be given names. Some of them go beyond words. Art opens even the chilled, darkened heart to high spiritual experience. Through the instrumentality of art we are sometimes sent—vaguely, briefly—insights which logical processes of thought cannot attain. / Like the tiny mirror of the fairy tale: you look into it and see—not yourself—but for one fleeting moment the Unattainable to which you cannot leap or fly. And the heart aches… / Dostoyevsky once let drop the enigmatic phrase: “Beauty will save the world.” What does this mean? For a long time it used to seem to me that this was a mere phrase. Just how could such a thing be possible? When had it ever happened in the bloodthirsty course of history that beauty had saved anyone from anything? Beauty had provided embellishment certainly, given uplift—but whom had it ever saved? “ ~Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The Fire Within: The fire within / the original sin / burns for random hearts / A time and place / a void a space / filled by passion & desire The oldest story told / the evolutionary fold / the threads of our design / We all came to be / branching from the tree / borne of the fire within I’ve been focusing a bit of time this week on Photoshop filters for abstract creative purposes. The core image is an evening water reflection of lights from the shipping slip across the bay from my home (shot from my back deck). I used my Nikon D50 and my 300mm zoom to focus on the rippled water patterns from the lights. ISO 200, 1/15 sec. exposure, no flash. Using the Photoshop “Redfield” plugin called Lattice Composer, the water curved and curled into a burled wood type pattern. I then enhanced the colours, deepend the oranges and blacks and added a bit of Gaussian Blur to soften. This finished image reminded me of an abstract pictograph of a man and woman. /

Proclaim yourself for what you are…cmo’n don’t be shy every one is doing it. /
In the middle here, you can see a drawing of a human form, and what looks like a rider on a horse. It was a feeling I can’t describe, to be here, wondering what the drawings meant, if they meant anything at all, or just represented some fun…Or if the grown ups drew the important message here, and let the kids play in the paint on the other side of the rock…it was fun to contemplate what took place here.

Inspired by both a classic retro game and an urban icon & pixelart that I witnessed recently over a busy Perth road, this shirt brings back memories of poor graphics in early computer games but plenty of fun times also (well at the time it was!!)
