Well... if you have read to this point you have a very good idea as to why my art is what it is.
Currently it's almost May 2022 which means that this was written 14 years ago.
A few standout events occurring after it was written that have affected my art are:
Had to close the morlanstudio shop in White Rock, BC after the 2008 crash of the economy.
Found out that the pain in my chest was from blood clots and that I have a genetic disorder.
My brother died.
A year and a half later my father passed away.
The invention of smartphones (essentially handheld computers).
The implementation of social media.
Started a series of forest paintings in which I spent a lot of time in the forest.One day the forest said:
"Don't come to me with your concepts and ideas. Just *BE* with me. Listen without judgement."
This statement has had a huge effect on my life and what I do.
Naomi took me to see Amadeus at the National Theater in London (I had tears in my eyes through most of it).A global pandemic.
After 20 years I let the domain snarg.net go. Seeing that the Flash plugin was no longer supported by browsers, it made no sense that I keep it.
I returned to music and digital art.
I will be adding works from my past and current works here for sale. If there's anything you are interested in, please feel free to contact me.
Thanks for giving me some of your time and may love and peace guide you. - Jef Morlan
