" THE WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN THE LAST STAGE
OF PERFECTION TO WHICH HUMAN NATURE IS CAPABLE OF ATTAINING "

| there be so many horizons full of peaceful satisfaction and solace that patiently await us |
I THINK OF WORLD PEACE 1 AS ALL THE CENTURIES DISRUPTED SO FAR BY HUMANITY TRYING TO END DISAGREEMENTS WITH WAR.
The time during which mankind struggled way to hard for peace. So now that all of humanity is fervently hoping for law and order, harmony, nonviolence, tranquility, truces, ceasefires and love maybe the time is ripe to strike. I believe that via global co-creativity people can adapt to working together for the good of everyone. Thus allowing better times to peacefully consider all of the miraculous earthly and celestial possibilities awaiting our most expert participation. While our peaceful quest resumes on a different path known as WORLD PEACE 2– while humming John Lennon’s “Imagine” in the auditorium of everyone’s mind.
The achievement of peace on earth had always seemed so impossible to me. Not until my retirement, when the burdens of work were lifted, was there enough air, life experience and time at my brain’s disposal to seriously consider heart and soul. In order to advance such a study, I decided to render in writings and drawings my own perceptions as they related to a human being’s most praiseworthy characteristics. Even having gotten substantially finished with another project, a book on branding for small businesses, the lure of such indispensable endeavor caused me to put the logos and such aside for good. Because as the seriousness of earth’s problems were steadily increasing, I just couldn’t see how anything was more important than world peace. Especially when my daughters were just completing their educations with such high hopes for the future. How their mother and I wanted them to at least have the same chances and joyful optimism that we have both enjoyed throughout our lives. So with our life’s work history being mostly comprised of commercial art, my focus on eliminating war could not help but to spring from the adventures that we have overcome while striving to understand the creative process. The practice of which, during my years of searching, has turned out to be the only dynamic action that I believe is capable of making sure humankind reaches the goal much sooner than later. Thus my resolve was strengthened to proceed developing what would likely become a lifetime of rendering original images in the same style. Each with content and quality appealing enough to inspire the sharing of their favorite way to encourage peace.
Partially due to the close relationship that an artist must sometimes endure with their own ego I actually believe that for such a cause as finally working together, everyone in the world will agree to coloring, naming, possibly otherwise enhancing, owning and potentially sharing one of my line drawings. And if everyone participates, the odds of us all eventually working on everything together will soar. In addition, I know from working full-time on heart brain heart soul since 2009, that the comfort felt from collaboratively contributing personal feelings on the matter provides great comfort. Even when so many untenable rationalizations for violent confrontations are presented every day.
Of the 710+ works planned for this project, the majority are now ready to be seen and freely downloaded for you to finish by visiting heartbrainheartsoul.org/downloads
The balance will be added soon along with new work as it is completed.
