The world is full of such a variety of individuality do we really want to bulldoze over everything and build shopping malls?
It hurts my soul that places like Koh Samui are littered with 7-11's and fast-food joints.
I tried my first authentic thai curry and it blew my mind... literally! When the spice hit my mouth my body when into spasms, I was covered in swear and felt like I had just gone through an intense 5 second detox. I asked WOW what is this? As my local thai friends feel about laughing... oh you never had real thai spice before? Confused... I replied OBVIOUSLY NOT!?
When I was first living in Hong Kong independently, I had a low budget so I ate a lot of local food... but over 20 years the inflation in this town is just out of control... Instead of keeping local food more attractive and at lower prices... the supermarkets just match the local produce with international food.
OH YOU BUY THE MILK BECAUSE IT IS AUSTRALIAN, YOU COME FROM AUSTRALIA...
no! I buy this milk because its the cheapest... and it's beyond me how milk coming from Australia is cheaper than the local milk being sold... I know its wrong and I should buy locally, but at this moment in my life I can't afford that choice.
I love creating art... it just feels really special to be able to do this. The further down this path I walk the more distance I feel between my old reality and my new one. My first art exhibition "new Perspective" was about me and how if I wanted change I needed to change, to change I needed to adjust my thinking. The main feature a painting of a doorway... a doorway to a new perspective.

I sold this painting last year to a person seeking a new perspective. After they purchased this piece their business took off and life started to shine with more positivity for them.
What if the engergy driving one to paint is somehow obsorbed into the canvas...magic... or simple scientific energy transfer? There are too many things in this world that are unexplained... to discount any theory completely... There was a time that it was believed the world was flat... and thinking it was round was crazy nonsense... MADNESS!!!
The best ingredients for quality are love and passion, positivity and light, happiness and balance.
Creating artwork is a process, a meditative state of mind. You need all that tranquility and calmness in order to keep you focused on the art. The 'top' pieces I have created... meaning the ones that 95% of people seem genuinly impressed by, are the art pieces I poured 100% of my heart mind and soul into.

My 2007 dragon... I locked myself away from society for 2 weeks while I put my heart and soul into this piece. It's had to explain how time just stood still. I needed to do this and i didn't stop till I finished it.
He's not for sale and neither am I :)
