PEACE WITH LOVE

11″ x 13″ Mixed Media on Wood

 

All for peace, but only with love. Won’t get peace dropping bombs from above. It will not happen if in God’s name you kill. Stab a man, shoot a man, it’s your brother’s blood you spill. Peace isn’t something you can fight for. Peace isn’t something found by winning in war. Peace is found by the love from within. Love your brothers and your sisters and we all win. Peace is there to share in a song. Grab your friends hands and we’ll all sing along. All for peace, but only with love. Put your guns down and give someone a hug. Stop the fussin’ and fightin’ and give it all a rest. When peace is found through love it’s at its very best. All for peace, but only with love. FoR PeaCe WiTH LoVe!!!

IF I COULD SEE THE WIND

18″ x 18″ Mixed Media on Board

 

Whispers of you in the breeze. Coolness of your presence on my skin. Salt in the air by the beach. Never seen, but you are there. Carry me away to where the breeze is warm. Pushing waves into sand into words.  Let me smell and taste the salt of your air. Eyes wide open blind to your stare. Never seen, but you are there.

GOING BLIND

18″ Mixed Media on Wood

 

Deep breaths struggle to mask panic dancing nerve endings. They just keep firing and firing. Breathe in… breathe out. Would it feel the same if she didn’t know what he was like? If she didn’t know what it could be like? Breathe in… She is going blind. Has it all, but looks for more. Going blind anticipating what’s in store, the possibilities. So tense it hurts her skin. Breathe out… Searching to find the stomach pains of the best kind. Ones that let you know you’re in love. Ones that make you feel hungry even though you just ate. Breathe in… But maybe there is something to the way things are. Breathe out… Maybe she doesn’t want the pains of love to ever go away. Breathe in… Maybe she’ll sit on this feeling because not knowing, the possibilities are endless. Breathe out…

UNCHAINED

16″ x 18″ Mixed Media on Wood

Letting go is the hardest thing you’ll ever do when you’re torn apart with a breaking heart. Fears trickle in to spaces of your mind you’ve never used for thinking. Moments of time replayed on the backs of eyelids blinking. Every picture, every show, every song is a reminder of a reminder of a reminder of what used to be us. Sitting on the shower floor is just… the only thing that makes sense. Tears get pushed down cheeks, lips and drains. Hearts bleed the pain of every emotion becoming detached from every memory that you don’t want to let go of. You are unchained.

STAND IN LOVE

6″ x 36″ Mixed Media on Wood

Stand in love, don’t fall. Don’t let negative evolve. Stand in love, be strong. Listen to the heart’s song. Stand in love by me. We can do anything. Stand in love hand in hand. Walk side by side through this land. Stand in love, don’t fall.  Nothing too big, nothing too small. Stand in love with me forever and we will have it all.

SEE YOU THRU THE CAP

12″ x 18″ Mixed Media on Wood

Something in the way. See you though the crap. Something in his face. Just give him a slap. Temptations can be the downfall or they could be the start. Everything starts somewhere. Something’s tugging on his heart. Feel it when the wind blows. See you through the storm. See your little kindnesses that will keep him warm. He knows what he should do. She knows she’s right for you. She’ll see you through the darkness and guide you to the light. He’ll give in to your heart. It won’t even be a fight.

THE EXCHANGE

11″ x 13″ Mixed Media on Acrylic

 

“This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind…let it be something good.”

GIVING

18″ x 30″ Mixed Media on Board

She keeps giving you the sun, the moon, the rain, the stars. What she gets is plastic garbage, used up resources and scars. She gives seeds for food, water and clean air. In return for slaughtered forests, gasoline and people that don’t care. Mountains, beaches, oceans and lakes. She gives and gives and we just take. TVs, computers, cars and phones. Lights are on, but no one’s home. Processed foods with no nutrients. Get a burger for a few cents. Obese children stare at screens while others starve finding ways and means. She’s given so much for us to use. Not for us to just abuse. Be conscious of what you do. Karma is real, it will… get you.

OUT AT THE PARTY

12″ x 24″ Mixed Media on Omega Bond

 

Remember doing absolutely nothing on the weekends? Remember the parties? Remember Super Bowl at John and Maxine’s? Remember Powder Hollow? Remember Nelson’s, Almeida’s and Larusso’s? Remember paying for 7-Eleven nachos with stolen change? Remember the Chevette? Remember the smoke and listening to ATLiens all the way through? Remember Zima? Remember buying 40’s at Worthington Street when you were 15? Remember when the trash can got stuck under Zaccaro’s Mustang? Remember running from the cops? Remember the days? Remember…?

MY CAGE

12″ x 12″ Mixed Media on Board

 

In a cage under heavy protection you beat. Over and over again. With the pain of my thoughts you beat. Over and over again. With the fear behind my smiles you beat. With the excitement of my anticipations. With the happiness of my love you beat. In my cage… in my skin. Over and over again. Playing the internal baseline of my life. Taking on all emotion with no worries. You are the only one I’ve got and I wouldn’t trade you for another.

PEACE

18″ Mixed Media on Wood

 

All we are saying, is give peace a chance. Put up your signs and put up your hands. If Lennon were here would it all be the same? If Lennon were here would we be so insane? All he was saying was give peace a chance. Bombing our brothers was not in his plans. The words that he chanted were give peace a chance. Give peace… a chance. All we are saying is give peace a chance. If you give it a chance you might start a trend. Keep this thing movin’ and don’t let it end. The movement is needed and needed right now. Give peace a chance, give it right… now.

LOVE

12″ x 12″  Mixed Media on Board

 

I love you in the morning when you wake me up so early… sun. I love you when I’m tired and the day has not begun… coffee. I love you when you’re blue and feel so far away… sky. I love you when I’m searching or seeing something new… eyes. I love you when your crazy and crashing into me… ocean. I love you when we’re dancing and moving all around… motion. I love you yesterday, now and tomorrow… life. I love you more than anything that’s ever come my way… wife. I Love… You.

STIMULATE REVAMP

20″ x 20″ Mixed Media on Woodcut

Stimulate Your Mind was carved back in the day. Found it again and gave it some paint. Gave it some paint and changed up the name. Stimulate Revamp, say it again. Stimulate Revamp may never get changed. Unless it gets bought, messed with in some way. I worked really hard with the tools that I used. I hope it’s enjoyed and never abused.

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST

11″ x 15″  Mixed Media on Watercolor Paper

 

Survival of the fittest, only the strong survive. Where will you run to to save your life? They’re coming after you there’s no where to hide. Do what you gotta do just to stay alive. Fly like a butterfly don’t get stung by the bees. Pack your power punches like Muhammad Ali. The world only dishes out as much as you can take. Gather up your strength, don’t bend don’t break. Predator vs. prey in the middle of the night. You gonna run for your life or will you stand up and fight?

THE SWEETEST THING

12″ x 24″  Mixed Media on Wood

Standing quiet in nightmares haunting without sound. Words fall upon deaf ears, words fall to the ground… shatter. Pieces picked up, but never fit back together right. Open wounds on hearts fill buckets that get flushed down drains. Always were the sweetest thing. Sweetest thing leaves sweetest pain. Night flashes tap brain… waves. Wake up, it’s just the rain. Like tears, like puddles, like fears, like floods… evaporate with you into forever. Always were… the sweetest thing.
