By art we live...
Although art, like music and design has become mostly prostituted in our times for commercial gain, the glorification of self and the propagation of a materialist world view, it was once used to enhance, celebrate, promote and explain the deeper aspects of life. It is said a picture is worth 10,000 words and truly images, symbols and great art can be a means of transmitting the most sublime, deep knowledge, truth and wisdom. Hence art matters...or it should.

New Dawn Magazine Covers
The 12 illustrations below were all created as covers for both regular and special editions of New Dawn Magazine. Each is the result of a concentrated effort and research to capture the over all 'essence' of each editions theme, from journeys into the supernatural to the powerful entities that exist behind the worlds global financial system. These designs are derived from an ongoing research into finding the best ways to
express and preserve these deeper, natural law principles and insights from the worlds esoteric art history, via a compositional framework of sacred geometry, visual archetypes, symbology and the deeper meaning of colour.
Illustrations & Diagrams
Below are a selection of further illustrations and diagrams created for various articles books and websites. Most of the highly skilled artwork in the world today is produced in the publishing, gaming, advertising, and movie industries to promote and maintain the materialist, consumerist world view. However we are already seeing a resurgence in art and design being used once again to promote and express the truth and what is real. This will be something of a 'rennaisance' that we will see occur over the next few decades as people once gain insist upon having art in their lives that not only expresses what is real and spiritually important, but also inspires and promotes the best of human nature and endeavour.

Astrological types
The following illustrations arose out of a unique 'live' research into the core 'essence' of each astrological type. They became posters that were used to advertise and promote a series of public presentations on that Sun Sign in its specific place in the yearly zodiac cycle. The only proviso was that people could only attend the presentation if they were that particular Sun Sign.
Hence a remarkable series of situations were created were there would be a room full of Taureans in May, a room full of Cancerians in June, Geminis in July etc. In terms of a deeper and natural understanding of astrology, this was a most enlightening experience indeed. It is one thing to study charts, planterary angles and what other people have written on the subject–but it is quite another to have the experience of meeting a particular astrological frequency in concentrate!

Paintings to cherish
The following paintings came out of an ongoing experiment over a number of years to see if it was possible to create for a person a painting that captured the 'essence' of something they deeply cherished and wanted to always have present in their lives. The idea being that the piece would act as a constant connection to something or someone that they never wanted to forget. In each case a certain amount of research was entered into to make sure that all the details were correct and that the proposed painting resonated with that persons inner life, and the value they had for that particular special place, item or person.
The result of this type of painting seemed to have a definate fortyfying and uplifting effect on people. The finished paintings becoming cherished items in themselves. Another curious effect was that in an era where virtually everything is a machined, mass produced item, the fact of each painting being a one off, hand crafted work of art specifically created for a person, appeared to have an enhancing influence in it's own right.
