Gaia is our only home, and the key to her future lies in our hands. If we sustain her well, we can keep her doors open to reveal her beauty, and invite the neighboring sunlight to accompany us. Key modeled in FormZ. Everything else are photos put together in PhotoShop. I used my Sun behind the clouds as the background for this piece This work has been featured in: / Current Issues / Colour Me a Rainbow

There are four essences in the universe these are Fire, Water, Earth and Air. Starhawk eloquently wrote in a Samhain poem: When we invoke the elements of Air, Fire, Water, and Earth, / We are saying we know what is necessary to sustain life / And we pledge ourselves to care for it and preserve it… Acrylics, pigment and enamel

“Echo” is part of a series of captures documenting a sustainable building project; in this capture, the first layer is an old ‘dilapitated’ red brick building which has been used & restored to be a perimeter for a newly built offices building which you see in the second layer. The result was a new office building while also maintaining and enhancing the old. The older section now serves as a berm & creates a peaceful inner courtyard for employees to enjoy away from their desks and busy days. (Echo sustainability project by Jolie, 2008)

This is my artwork entry for the ‘Freedom To Create Prize’. It is very complex in the multi-issue nature of the messages it is meant to portray. What may appear as separate issues are really a part of a larger single issue showing how the individual issues are inseparable from one another.The artwork addresses the following individual issues as a whole… / / 1.) Feeding the population of the Earth, and not just the hungry or starving. / / 2.) The great public misconception that biomass fuels, such as ethanol, are really a ‘green’ alternative technology, when in fact, they are not a viable and sustainable alternative energy source, as they create exponentially many more energy, environmental, and human rights issues than they resolve. / / 3.) The ongoing loss and abuse of the very few fertile soils that exist on Earth due to the accepted agricultural practices we continue to use in how we grow food. Please take the time to read the article that I have written that accompanies this artwork at the link shown below. It will give you a basic primer as to why these issues are inseparable. I believe that once you see the bigger picture emerge you will never see the smaller issues that it involves in the same light again. / / Food… Not Fuel by Art4Earth / http://www.redbubble.com/people/art4earth/writing/1681231-food-not-fuel / / All my own proceeds on the sale of this artwork are being donated to the United Nations Food & Agriculture Organization, as this is the only organization I am aware of that provides an agricultural assistance program combined with food relief programs to help feed the world’s hungry and starving. / / United Nations Food & Agriculture Organization / www.fao.org/ / / Oh !... Details about the creation of the artwork. / The backdrop was rendered in Terragen. The terrain file in Terragen was sculpted by myself by digitally hand-painting a greyscale heightfield map in Photoshop, and then importing the bitmap file version into Terragen. The multitude of other environmental files used in Terragen were also created myself. The gas pump was created from a photo I took myself. The starving child was created from a PD image from the web. The pump and child shadows were drawn in Photoshop. All of these separate components were than composited, painted, and re-touched in Photoshop. Thanks for the visit, and please read the associated article. Peace & Love, / / Art 4 EartH

Her waves lap at the sands of shore / And mix her mists with breeze / While seagulls high above her soar / On winds that seldom ease / / I think of how the wind and sea / Are bound to one another / Inseperable they’ll always be / Like child and a mother / / They each exchange a property / The other needs to thrive / Gift shared between the wind and sea / So all life can survive / / This is a pure fractal artwork that was inspired by the intricate and symbiotic relationship between our atmosphere and our oceans. The sea exchanges oxygen for carbon dioxide with the atmosphere the same way a plant does, but on a much greater scale. Often this fact is forgotten when talking about the need for our forests to remain healthy to facilitate this life-sustaining exchange of gases. We have used our oceans as industrial toilets for almost two hundred years now, with the foolish philosophy of ‘out of sight… out of mind’. / / In the last decade our seas have been giving us a sign of the damage we have done, and continue to do, with our industrialized ways. ‘Dead Zones’ are now found in all of earth’s oceans, and are growing steadily at an alarming rate. These dead zones are areas of the ocean that are completely depleted of their oxygen content, killing all marine life that occupy these zones. They are primarily caused by pollution from our agricultural practices, such as chemical fertilizers. These pollutants find their way to the oceans through water run off from crop fields into rivers and streams. Some of the largest dead zones in the ocean are found were these rivers meet the sea, and extend for hundreds of miles into the ocean from this confluence. / / We need to view our oceans as important to sustaining life, as we do the rain forests. The complex cycle between the oceans and the atmosphere is inseparable. Without healthy oceans, there will be no life on land… and without healthy lands there will be no life in our oceans. This artwork was meant to remind us all of that essential symbiotic relationship between the ocean and the sea. / / This fractal artwork was created in ChaosPro. The same fractal was rendered twice, each time with a different color palette, and then composited together in Photoshop. The gradients were created using the ChaosPro gradient editor that comes packaged with the software. It was designed so it can be hung either horizontally or vertically without losing the effect. The original is 7200×6000 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. Below I have included a cutaway of the center at full size so you can see a bit in greater detail. / / /

Wind farms use a tiny amount of water. On average, coal-fired power stations use more than a million litres of fresh (drinking) water for each giga-watt-hour of electricity generated. Image taken at Starfish Hill Wind Farm, South Australia

This is a geeky 80’s design created for the Earth Hour Challenge. / / If you understand it then it means you’re old enough to be a fair contributor to the world energy problem and an equal part of the solution. / / But what is the solution? / / Well it’s clear to me that not just one but a whole range of newer, greener, renewable energy sources will save the day and I believe that people like you and me should be given the option to choose between them on our power bill. Whether they be nuclear, solar, geo-thermal, nano tubes and so on. / / Freedom of choice is what we want. Which is in fact a lyric from that crazy 80’s pop rock band, Devo. / / The red things are the hats Devo alway wear which they call “Energy Domes”, claiming they can actually harvest energy from your own head. / / Now that’s a solution I’d really like to see. / / *This is my first attempt at using Adobe Illustrator so all comments and critiques are very welcome. / / / / /

Trees are essential to life on earth and a great way to help reverse global warming. We all need to contribute by planting and cultivating as many trees and plant life as possible. Do you have trees?

This design replaces ‘Fish Stocks’ due to the interest ‘Ghosts’ has recieved. I didn’t expect ‘Ghosts’ would generate a lot of interest to be honest, but then what do I know about art. / So now there’s two options available, you can have ‘Ghosts’ as wall art or you you can have the T-shirt or maybe even both. / Next time you go out for a meal or to the supermarket & fish is on the menu; remember to order only sustainable fish. / Ps, not all the colour options work but its your choice. / 11/06/09
