Cris Mitchel
Art...can that word really say enough about the out-pouring of emotions,thoughts and even beliefs that we have come to know as ART.I have no formal art training just a love of drawing every thing I have thought of or even trying to see where a thought,idea or emotion may lead me.My teachers at school may have had something else to say about it,every margin,every cover,every empty space had to be adorned,and so my art was born in doodles.
Like so many others I have worked in many different jobs but my one escape was drawing and thinking about the drawing,all the nights I spent working machines,when tiredness was crushing my very existance there was always an idea for another picture.
I have sold original pictures,sold t-shirts with my designs from market stalls,I've created murals on walls(inside and out),designed tattoo's and cards and still the hammer of life beats upon my soul and I end up thinking of paying the bills instead of creation.As so many have said before pain is a major player in creation,so here I stand,a working man with a thousand images and stories,will I ever have the time to relate them all,only the universe knows.

Tears
originally the tears of god, the shorter title does this work more justice,whether from the perspective of the Green man and all that this ancient religion aspired to or from modern science, the root and verse of where we came from and where we are going.However does everything revolve around what we know or did it exist before our time and of course when we are long consigned to myth and legend.In less than six thousand years we have departed our beliefs of field and forest and now hold with a belief of what we say is right and that is automatically sanctioned by a higher power because our cause or way of life has more validity than anothers.My picture speaks of air,earth and water and the connections that may or may not exist depending on your perspective.

philosophy and concept
Philosophy and concept
Who am I to know or speak of these things when so many people wiser and more spiritual have studied and theorised long before I was born and will certainly attain enlightenment long after I am cosmic dust again. I have learnt so much but my knowledge is that alone and wisdom eludes me, we are liquid separated by vibrational harmonics, the same material that makes time and space are incorporated into our bodies, but what does that actually mean, that we are one, just different aspects of the same universal experience. Fine, but I do not feel the same as the war mongers, the planet killers, those that just don’t give a ****!, my art is me, how I feel , how I see things, not copied form or certain strokes, my art is my soul, it is concept and philosophy, emotion and hope, imagination and reality. If we are ONE, then this is the view of the world that god or whatever else, sees through my eyes, my soul.
