India: Beautiful, rich, textures, culture, spirituality, majestic, contrast, contradictions, opposites, pollution, population, heat, religion These are just some of the words that come to mind when I think about India. It is too hard to actually describe and so often an experience cannot be put into words. I had an amazing time and so much of what I saw I could not capture on film as it would be culturally insensitive. I tried to record my experience on film as well as being appropriate. I have started uploading some photos for people to look at. Enjoy!

You could believe what you want / you can see yourself change through your own eyes / dead life is like a colorless planet / with swirls of black, gray, and white / a place where our world is nolonger called ‘This Pretty Planet’ / our colors of our past / slowly decay with other dead life around you / nolonger can we think / Oh this ‘This Pretty Planet’ / but Oh ‘What a sad bland planet we live in’

NEW ADDITIONS TO OUR COLLECTIVE… WELCOME AND INVITE! The more the merrier and the more bizarre and informative minds we get to mingle with… Our community collective has had members join from lots of diverse places recently and the new year has brought new thoughts and perspectives for the education and awareness of any who happen by the spaces the Art Action Union Inhabits. We now are up to 97 members, can we kick in past ONE HUNDRED with a sprint?

Do you know what Tar Sands are? Do you know why they are important and why if they are ‘used’ for dirty energy it will be a bad thing? Well… find out, educate and make art to spread awareness. What goes around comes around contribute and your heart will find further repose… or at best, good karma will come to you. From one of the organisers, Christopher Stewart: The Lepufology Project is a not-for-profit collaborative art project which aims mainly to raise public awareness of the issues and impacts of the non-consensual development of oil sands in Alberta, of the various organizations taking action against it, and of alternative energy sources. The Alberta tar sands development project has been described as “the largest industrial project in human history and likely also the most destructive.” It raises numerous social, environmental, and economic issues such as declining human health in many communities, the second fastest rate of deforestation on the planet behind the Amazon Rainforest Basin, fragmentation and devastation of bird and wildlife habitat, species loss, atmospheric pollution, acid rain, greenhouse gases, climate change, water pollution, degradation of water quality, contamination and sickening of wildlife and residents, lack of proper consultation and accommodation of First Nations interests, and loss of fishing grounds and traditional hunting and trapping territory. Because of its sheer scale, the development of tar sands in Alberta impacts all of us, no matter where we are located on the planet. Artists and artistically inclined people are invited to participate by creating digital art inspired by the cause or by the accompanying sci-fi short story and soundtrack. Then they are asked to submit their artwork to the project, spread it around, and link back to the project’s website. Already existing pieces of art are also accepted, and so is art which is related to the cause even if not directly inspired by the story. All forms of art are accepted, as long as they are submitted in digital format easily shareable on the world wide web. Take action right now! / Participate and help stop the tar sands!

SHE WAS AMAZING … AND SO IS THE ARTIST WHO CAPTURED HER STRENGTH … Art Action Union member Angelique Price has been getting some great press lately for her beautiful portraits, most recently from Juxtopoz Magazine... and with damn good reason… she is one of the most awesome portrait poster print-makers with a pantone! or sharpie… ever! What is extra awesome however, enhancing the beauty that emanates from her work, is that she has a gift in bringing out the most vulnerable aspects of political and social leaders through bright, almost psychedelic, hand-drawn and coloured posterisations. Angelique’s portrait of Obama Barack shows not just his strength of character, but she has chosen a pose for him that is less than confident in feel but more the confidante looking for counsel. Seemingly a leader who is looking to the people for advice. But it is her portrayal of strong and courageous women that I love the most … Particularly Angelique’s tribute to Benazir Bhutto, this artwork brought the knowledge of this woman’s strength and untimely demise at the hands of the corrupt and intolerant.

Greenpeace has bought a piece of land slap bang in the proposed 3rd runway at London Heathrow Airport. Their plan is to make a compulsory purchase of the land as difficult as possible, and so they are looking for as many names as possible to add to the land deeds. Sign up here

So I’ve been out of work for months now… feels like years in my mind. The absence of activities or lack the motivation of them left me dry. I mean physically, emotionally, psychologically dry and empty. One poet wrote that eventually your mind freezes when out of work for so long. Ha… my mind is like a glacier melting, cracking, and dropping ton by ton into the ocean by now. / I got a project lined up… but, i think I’m also too arrogant or proud to step up to it. The river in my city gets polluted from time to time. It would be fun to clean it up and dispose all of the plastic and aluminum lying around unwanted by the trickling water. I love the current of the river….from early AM to late PM it is full with flowing green water. The strength of it pulls branches, moves rocks or even boulders, it shapes the landscape that surrounds the valley of which it lives. At those times when the sun isn’t too vivid, the river shrinks…disappears….gone for some time. For a nocturnal being as myself, it’s my pleasure to wash what it wasn’t meant to wash or pull. Who the fuck drinks beer by the river and then throws the cans all over it like it’s their possession ? / I polluted in the past…I’m no angel. If I’d ever want to volunteer for something, I wouldn’t want a patch or a pat on the back…. although it would feel nice. Nah… just cant stand to see empty bags of some cholesterol filled junk end up as junk where it isn’t needed. Glass or aluminum cans dropped off like it was their duty to be there.
