Close your eyes and go inside, breathe the air and clear your mind.
Changing colors lead the way, not a thought to slip away.
Search the darkness for a light, see the sunshine in the night.
Inside-out is on display, a paradox that hides the way.
A twist-of-fate is there to find ~ create the peace found all inside.

Here’s a really cool website / movie that walks you through the stages of “material issues”.

http://www.storyofstuff.com

I have been asked to be a contributing artist to a very important film, titled “A Convenient Truth: A Film About The World Getting Better”. I am very impressed with the work Jack Guest has produced here and encourage everyone to help spread the word about this effort. Watch the preview film and pitch in within your community to do your part in launching humankind into a sustainable future within economics.

Many people look at preventing the world’s climate changes as a global hoax, political scams, and wasted time when they could be partying and greedily sucking the life out of the Earth by believing that it’ll end eventually so why not selfishly milk it for what it’s worth now… and so on. This uneducated ignorance further proves we have a long way to go in evolution before we can really be proud of our achievements as a species.

By setting forth into the trend of bettering ourselves mentally, socially, and economically, we are in turn creating more opportunities for economic growth in the long run. Why does financial freedom have to come from the production of material products? Why can’t new ways of financial gain come from sustaining the planet instead of destroying it? Until everyone from governments down to individual citizens alters their perceptions of why they exist and what is keeping them alive will we ever prosper forth into a new age in living as one with the Earth.

I’ll leave you now with the lyrics from a TOOL song:

“Right in two”

Angels on the sideline,
Puzzled and amused
Why did Father give these humans free will?
Now they’re all confused

Don’t these talking monkeys know that
Eden has enough to go around?
Plenty in this holy garden, silly monkeys
Where there’s one you’re bound to divide it,

Right in two

Angels on the sideline,
Baffled and confused
Father blessed them all with reason
And this is what they choose
Monkey killing monkey killing monkey
Over pieces of the ground

Silly monkeys give them thumbs,
They forge a blade, and where there’s one
They’re bound to divide it,
Right in two

Monkey killing monkey killing monkey
Over pieces of the ground
Silly monkeys give them thumbs
They make a club and beat their brother down

How they survive so misguided is a mystery
Repugnant is a creature who would squander
The ability to live tonight in heaven
Conscious of his fleeting time here

Cut it right all, right in two

Fight over cloud, over earth, over sky
Fight over life, over blood, over air and light
Fight over love, over sun, over another
Fight for each other, for the ones who are rising

Angels on the sideline again
Been so long with patience and reason
Angels on the sideline again
Wondering when this tug of war will end

Cut it right all, right in two
Right in two

Hello everyone! It’s been a while since I shot out an email to you Groovy folks so it’s time to catch up!

First off, I am exhibiting limited edition, signed prints of my art during Raw Refrains 3 this Dec 8th:

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=5856169557
http://www.patrickmolloy.ca under the “gigs” section.

I’ve uploaded pics of me holding this very first ever round of signed, limited edition prints — check them out! hahahahaha… in person they will blow your retinas out of yer skull ^_^

Help spread the word for us as this event is going to kick arse!!!! The line up Patrick has acquired is nothing short of extraordinary! I’ve included his latest email at the bottom of this message.

Second, I am working heavily on promoting my art work and will soon be approaching museums and galleries, including “The Rooms” here in St. John’s, Newfoundland. In addition, I will be taking my art on the road with HUGE efforts being made to make it to Latin America to meet a very special lady in my life. This “reunion” will conclude a very long chapter in our lives and will also help launch Spinning Blue Planet into a very important territory. More on this adventure will come soon.

I am continuing to receive commissioned art projects and welcome any you may have… mixed media is my specialty. I am also a very generous person and like to create industries to help support people during economic downturns in society. Anyone showcased in any of my art pieces will be getting 1/2 profits made from that piece.

I have chosen ImageKind ( http://chrisbiggs.imagekind.com ) as my current source for printing my art (with more to come soon in other countries) because America needs help getting out of the black hole it’s placed itself into, but mainly because it has an amazing affiliate program:

http://www.imagekind.com/sell/affiliates.aspx

For those of you who aren’t excited about what this means let me put it into clearer words: I have created a free business for anyone! For those who promote my artwork using their affiliate link (or any artwork from ImageKind for that matter) they will receive 20% commission off of every sale they endorse. Get excited because this is the future in economics! You don’t even have to have a product… I’ve created an entire industry for you already!

^_^

Eventually I will write a supporting book about all of this with many internet marketing strategies and philosophies but until then do some research and make some cash!

On a different note, Raied Ghanam (The director of The Portal film production of which I was co-screenwriter http://mistvalleyproductions.spaces.live.com ) is deep within the editing phase. Things are going well despite the extensive work involved. Both of us will be doing DVD audio commentary very soon about the project’s beginnings, the writing phase, the philosophy, and the extensive film production! Exciting!!!

That’s about it for now… keep on truckin’… and may your Groove be endless!!!

Chris

Patrick’s email:
=============

Hi Folks,

Last night Raw Refrains was given a little promo time on Rogers Television, thanks Krissy. I played a few tunes and James Hawksley, the Illusionist for the Dec. 8th gig, did a few spooky tricksbacked by an instrumental track that I laid down sort of on the fly… I think it worked out fine though. James and I will be collaborating more into the future with his magic shows and my instrumental stuff.

So, check out “Out of the Fog” on The Community Station to hear a few tunes and a few wicked Illusions by Mr. Hawksley. I am not sure exactly what time it airs. Last night(Tuesday Nov 27/07) it aired at 7:30PM, so that is my guess for tonight. It will also be playing on the weekend.

Thanks for your time folks. Don’t forget tickets are available for Raw Refrains #3 at Newfoundland Drive Esso, Anderson Avenue Esso, 95 Bonaventure Avenue and Hamilton Convenience. Please give me a call at 746-4184 if you have any questions at all regarding tickets and the like.

Peace
Patrick

Finally, after two weeks of very little sleep, a crashing computer, 8 hours approx work per piece to render and modify for print, my artwork has finally gone on the global market!!!!

This is only round one! These took forever to get setup / configured, so enjoy what pieces are available for now… the rest will follow eventually when I expand into additional portfolios!

If you enjoy the little images of my work posted in Facebook… wait until you see what they look like at 35 x 18 inches!!! ^_^

This marks one monumental step for me in which I cannot fully put into words, so just know that I am beyond excitement, gratitude, and personal satisfaction…. I’m in that Groovy world only my own spiritually can hope to comprehend…. and I thank you all for making it an enjoyable ride……:
