HONESTY NOW



Encounters with evil have left me wary of lies and half-truths. These encounters have opened my eyes to things I don't necessarily want to see, and have left it such that I can no longer shut my eyes to these things. Sometimes, I think all I see are lies, and I have grown tired of, and become sickened by, rampant dishonesty.

Over my artistic career, I have produced many hundreds of works, some honestly, but most not. I alone know which are which, and why. The aim of this site is to show a representation of the works which I feel are my purest creations. I hope to learn something about myself by building it, and to use this knowledge to help me live a healthier life. I also hope to challenge you to question your own works using honesty of motivation and action as your criteria.

In my time, I have produced many pleasing and acclaimed works, but most have nothing of real value to offer. In fact, being dishonest creations, they've become part of the bigger problem. The humble works that follow, regardless of how you care to judge or misjudge them, by their honesty, show the way to health. They are of great value to me, and if you trust me in this, you too may find the value inherent in them.

If I have, through this examination of my own works, motives, and
beliefs, in any way encouraged you to take a closer look at yours,
then I have fully accomplished what I set out to do.
