Résumé

So what do you do with all that old cardboard left over from boxes of cereal, crackers, chocolates, paper, shoes? I used to throw it out or recycle it but then I got an idea: why not paint on it?  I was already painting as a hobby - mostly abstract and nonrepresentational watercolours. These were more doodles than anything else and I was buying rather expensive watercolour paper to undertake what essentially was a pasttime.  So this use of refuse seemed to be an easy way to transform trash into 'canvas' and save a bit of dough and landfill on the side.
 Then, for some reason, I began to hit upon another idea.  Why not move from abstract doodles to words?  But what to say?  It came to me that I wanted to inspire more than anything else.  But did I really need to inspire with new thoughts?  Perhaps the most inspiring things had already been said.  So I drifted towards using sayings that had meaning for me and which had moved me.  In turned out that the act of painting slogans I had heard all my life was somehow especially powerful, transforming words on a page into a personal expression that required me to ponder each letter and each word with each brushstroke.
What this book is a selection of some painted slogans for your edification and enjoyment.  Enjoy! 
I am creative fiction and nonfiction writer of plays, poetry and prose.  My themes are eclectic but the major ones include: the meaning and practice of daily spirituality; the human experience and how it is affected by an increasingly technocratic and technologized world; war and peace in the digital age; quirky narratives of quirky trips; and unusual bits of history. I have training in a technical field and have had careers in government and academia.  I continue to practice as an independent scholar but have devoted the greater part of my time and energy to being an artist.
