Inspirational Art & Healing

The Art ... of living ...

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Vis) — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 10:28:00 +0000

Art is a strange creature.
And today I would like to share some of what is going on (in me?) during and after creating a painting ...
When I am in the process of creation, I am usually in a state of bliss, just focusing on the composition, colors and some details ...
It is not until it is finished, that I look at the piece from the outside (as far as that is possible for any artist regarding their own work) and get some sense of what it actually might be about.
Also the painting you see here ... I was completely mesmerized by the colors ... and it wasn't until later that I saw it is actually quite profound and having associations with life and death and how we live our lives.
The bird is traveling in a glass sphere ... the lightbody ... transparent, yet still some sort of a boundary. How accessible are we for others?
And where is the bird going? A landscape with an ocean ... plenty of fish to eat and new friends already waiting?
Or traveling in the lightbody to the world of the souls?
Lately I have lost quite a few people around me ... one of them committed suicide. It is hard to tell sometimes how people are really going through life, or maybe I should say how life is going through people.
In the Netherlands euthanasia has been a hot topic for a long time. And the discussion has flared up again to include not only people who are terminally ill without any hope of recovery or an end to suffering, but also to include people who are just "tired of life".
With the economic depression, more people want to "get out" and I wonder to what extent I am tuning into a larger societal movement when I am creating my artwork. Where do I get these images from? I guess it is once again clear that nobody is really "separate" and everything is connected ...

Bandoneón

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Vis) — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 11:05:00 +0000

This week an extraordinary movie was shown in Amsterdam (and will be shown in other locations as well, so keep an eye on it!): El sonido del Bandoneon.
The movie is about the instrument and it's amazing story and features some of the most passionate people working with it. Here is the trailer:

The filming is beautiful and of course: so is the sound! If you get a chance, go see it! :-)
And if you don't, you can always take a look at the most amazing bird gifts I found today, featured on Inspiring Gifts, my other blog! :-)

Crisis, what crisis?

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Vis) — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:43:00 +0000

Everyone is meowing about a crisis in the building and construction industry. This is however in no way reflected in what is happening in Amsterdam. The entire city is one huge building and construction site, coming with all the noise, pollution and what have you.
One of the reasons is that our previous mayor left us with a building industry that is largely in hands of the mafia. Corruption all over, and unfortunately I am sitting in the middle and can see (and hear!) it all from close by. Not to mention all the court cases.
The houses across the street are (were I should say) on the monument list and situated close to the center of Amsterdam. The entire street is old and on the site where several houses are being demolished now, there were previously only old houses.
Left you can see what it looked like a year ago, and on the right what it looks like today:
Everyone in the neighborhood is very upset, because of the damage this does to our city, whereas it would have been very well possible to maintain the facade of the building. Lies, lies and more lies, that's the government.
So, people in Spain: if you are a skilled construction worker, here is the place to be, as we are also tired from the balconies dropping off buildings and other disasters that seem to be happening on a weekly basis ...
Uhm yes, I finally found an appropriate illustration for this post: a sympathy card ... I am getting famous (or infamous, what should I say?) for these ... :-)

Marketing for the starving artist

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Vis) — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 12:52:00 +0000

If you thought marketing for an artist in the traditional media was hard, think again about digital artists. Not only is the reputation of digital art not that of fine art, but the competition is wild ...
And as many artists do not have a budget for marketing, nor the skills and expertise ... you have all the ingredients for "The Starving Artist" ... (maybe until they die, as after death their artwork seems more attractive?!)
Anyway, I decided I did not want to wait till I die and started some attempts at marketing without a budget. Of course happy enough not to be hindered by any knowledge or skills in the field whatsoever ... :-)
So today I would like to share my experiences so far with free marketing tools.

Blogger
I have been writing a blog for many years, first on Wordpress, but after my site got hacked, I decided to continue on Blogger. As a marketing tool it does not do much for me as far as I can tell. The images cannot be found in Google and apparently my rantings don't seem to entice enough visitors to make it a useful instrument for marketing :-). But then: I may not be using the correct details and I am all over the place when it comes to topics. I have now started a second blog that is only to promote artwork, not only my own, but also from other artists. It has a different format and I see it as a new experiment and will give it some time to see what it does. The main thing is that I just like writing ...
By the way, my new blog is called Inspiring Gifts.

Squidoo
I started years ago with a lens called Inspiring Art, mainly featuring artists that I find inspiring. I usually add one artwork a month and it is now adding up and becoming a genuine source of inspiration, not only for artists, but to get inspired in daily life.
By now I have added a couple of other lenses (a lens is basically a webpage on some topic). The trouble with lenses is they only work if you get a lot of traffic ... see my point?!
So this has turned out to be yet another one of my "fun projects" that does not necessarily do much with regards to selling my artwork.

Facebook
I regularly post thumbnails with a link to one of my artworks on Facebook. So far it has not led to any sales as far as I can tell. It is interesting however to notice that although there is usually not much response, when I meet friends in person, they turn out to have seen my work. So maybe more people are familiar with it now than when I would not have posted on Facebook. I also have to add that all the tools mentioned here may work differently for other people. Like on Facebook, I sometimes see art that gets a lot more response. It could also be that my art just does not speak to a large audience, but the tools themselves would work fine ... Who knows?

StumbleUpon
This is not only a real fun tool, but also one that can generate a lot of traffic. People browse through sites that you normally do not find on Google, based on recommendations. So it generates brief visits, but in my experience not the serious buyers generally ... but again: who knows ...?

WeHeartIt
This is a site that allows members to recommend images. I have seen some of the images that I put on Weheartit on Google and as many people search for products or art with Google Images, this is a good thing.

Of course there are more tools, but believe me, if you are using all of the above, it is already a miracle if you still have time to create new art, let alone develop new skills!
The best thing in my experience is that someone who is very good in attracting lots of traffic to their site, loves your art and features it on a regular basis ... once people know the way to your stores and are happy, they will come back!
Good luck!

3D Printing and Healing

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Vis) — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 13:42:00 +0000

The new developments in 3D printing are really amazing and the implications may be far-reaching.
I was just looking to see what is available in the Netherlands in this field now and came across this:

Find more architectural applications on 3D printing.nl
All very exciting, but to me the medical applications are the most interesting. What if we can replace all sorts of organs or even an entire face when wounded? In Belgium a group of scientists and medical doctors have succeeded in replacing a lower jaw with a printed jaw (Dutch language link). They used titanium to create this. Titanium is also used for dental implants and is usually well accepted by the body.
More possibilities come up when 3D printing is combined with stem cell research and it becomes possible to actually print cells:

It is just so encouraging to see these new developments!

Celebrating Love

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Vis) — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 16:55:00 +0000

I guess I'm an incurable soppy romantic and today I was at it again: I created an entire line of products related to romance, wedding and what you have ... :-)
In order to make art related to a wedding or anniversary, it is necessary to somehow "get in the mood of the event", crawl under it's skin so to speak, and fantasize about what would be nice products that could be interesting and fun to use in such an occasion.
To me that meant fantasy, as nobody that I know is getting married right now, nor are there big celebrations of anniversaries (it's beyond me why you would not want to celebrate such a unique event?!)
Anyway, what do you think of the Thank You card:

I can think of a zillion occasions in which this would be a really nice card to send, but especially to receive ... Like would it not be also a nice card for a woman to thank her for the Valentine's Day gift she gave you? And as you can customize the text: to wish a Happy Valentine's Day? You can also use it as a Mother's Day card ... or to congratulate with an engagement ...
You can tell I am getting carried away!
One more:

Sweet, isn't it? :-)
Of course also here: you can customize the text ... what does love mean to you?

Should Obama hand back the Nobel Peace Prize?

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Vis) — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 10:01:00 +0000

The moment Obama took office and appointed israeli warlord Rahm Emanuel as chief of staff, I knew we were fooled: nothing was going to change ...
On the contrary: military actions have gone up, as has the budget for military spending, just to name a few ... Where is the peace?
The Nobel Peace Prize? I noticed that an increasing number of people is wondering if he should actually hand it back. Mission failed: sweet rethoric does not accomplish peace when accompanied by war actions.
He got the prize on promises, the dream of Change ... And now?
Read what Bruce Dixon writes about this and then I'd like to hear what you think:

Outsourcing no more?

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Vis) — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 11:01:00 +0000

Yes, you are seeing it right: this beautiful bag is actually handmade in ... San Francisco, CA, USA!!!
Of course I could not resist to put a very "Flower Power" image on it, just to tease ... but the fact is: this is a major accomplishment in the times of outsourcing. Especially in San Francisco, known as an expensive city.
But San Francisco is of course also the place where all new initiatives spark and where all great changes in our world are inspired ...
Zazzle, the print-on-demand company, that is now the main site with whom I publish new art to decorate every day products, has made a deal with a local company to accomplish this. Zazzle is also from the San Francisco Bay Area, I would almost say ... of course! :-)
I have already put quite a few new bags in annevisdesign, online art store, they will be created once they are ordered, as print on demand.
I'd like to show some more here, just because I am so enthusiastic about them myself :-):

A lot of fun, as you can see! I also like that you can add text to it. Zazzle has many options to choose from with regards to font and color of the text, so that it is possible to completely follow your own preferences.
This is just a selection of the bags available, see annevisdesign for more choices!

The Art of Travel

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Vis) — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 08:50:00 +0000

My own expertise would be travel through the realms of fantasy, surrealism and magic, but I also like to watch travel documentaries.
It is interesting to see how the topic and approach between some countries in Europe differ when it comes to travel.
The Dutch for instance have as main focus the trade: they promote countries with a (supposedly) sexy presenter who has the adventurous look.
Then you have on the other end the research documentary into the evil on the planet, like what Shell is doing in Nigeria.
The French have an altogether different approach and like to take France and the history of France as their starting point and then like to focus on architectural accomplishments. They can have a documentary for instance on the effects of the arrival of the French in some place on the buildings. Or follow the craftsmen who manufacture details involving the construction of the French cathedrals.
And then the British. I think they probably invented the travel documentary. Starting with Michael Palin to put it permanently on the map. But he was followed by many other great travel reporters. Their strong point is that they are telling a story. It is not just about travel, but there is always a story to get you involved with local people, habits, culture and history. And then I am not even talking about the impressive accomplishments of the travel discovering wildlife all over the planet, which has been made famous by sir David Attenborough. (I haven't quite figured out yet why the Dutch version of Frozen Planet does not have his voice in it any more ...) An area where the Frenchman Jacques Cousteau with his oceanic discoveries cannot be left unmentioned.
One of the reasons I am so happy that all these people show their travels, is that it means that I don't necessarily have to endure the mosquitoes, heat, cold, danger and other uncomfortable stuff, yet still get a chance to see it ... :-)
Neil Oliver, presenter of the Last Explorers, talks about this in an interview on the Stirling Observer. I think it is already the last show that is on BBC 2 tonight.
I only saw the last one about Livingstone in the Zambezi area in Africa ... adventures indeed!

New: everything cats!

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Vis) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 11:26:00 +0000

I just opened a new store on Zazzle with a "just cats" theme! It's called Anne's Cats! :-)
(how original! :-))
You can find some beautiful classic best selling items like the "I'm the BOSS" cat mug above and this cat sympathy card:

and also brand new cat products, like this hot chocolate cat mug:

and this adorable baby knor button:

You can see all at Anne's Cats.
Keep posted as new products are being added! :-)

God Rules

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Vis) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 10:36:00 +0000

Geert Wilders is a flamboyant character in the theatre play we call politics in the Netherlands. He is squarely against islam and would love to see it abolished entirely probably. His most bold move in this direction has been a proposal to forbid the koran.
With "Mein Kampf" forbidden and a law that says that you are not allowed to not belief the holocaust story, the situation here is comparable to what is happening in France now with the Kurdish genocide law. In a state where the government tells you which books you can read and what are or are not allowed to think, we can say we have a totalitarian regime, not something called a democracy.
Wilders is a fervent fan of the israelis and puts their interests above those of the Dutch people.
So we are not surprised, yet totally appalled, to see an israeli busline operating in the Netherlands now that in the israeli territories employs an Apartheid regime.
The israelis have made headlines lately too because young girls don't dare to go to school any more out of fear of being lynched. (Did it sound to you too like the Taliban enforcing a burka?)
And the other day a woman just barely survived an assault by a group of religious jewish terrorists, which did not make as many headlines as the schoolgirl news apparently.
Whichever way you look at this, it is bad news for women ... again.
I spoke with a Anja Meulenbelt the other day. She used to be one of the most prominent fighters for women's rights in the seventies. I was surprised to hear that she just shrugged at my question about the women's rights situation now in the Netherlands. "Well, at my age you are not interested in sunbathing topless in the park any more ..." is what she said.
No, I understand that, but this is of course about so much more ...
Not only governments and finances are interwoven and make a complex network, but also the different topics are not so easy to separate any more.

The Fingerprint of God

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Vis) — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 10:48:00 +0000

Last night National Geographic showed a documentary on fractals on the Dutch tv, which will be repeated this Friday. It seems like fractals are hot these days! And they are present in everything in nature. Outside of nature I think it depends on what you look at. The documentary made it seem like everything we create follows these patterns, even the patterns on the planet where a disease breaks out or certain weather patterns. I am not entirely convinced. Look at for instance contemporary architecture: the golden rule has long been lost. The golden rule in architecture creates dimensions that equal those in nature and makes that a building looks harmonious to us.
If you do not get a chance to watch National Geographic, you may like to check out this YouTube movie, ironically called "The fingerprint of God" :-)

A great explanation, but what do you think of the conclusion? :-)

Not in my name!

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Vis) — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 09:38:00 +0000

The EU sanctions against Iran are an act of war against the Iranian people and are not in the interest of the people in Europe.

What if the warmongers are calling us to start another war and nobody is showing up?
It's now on the oil companies to collectively ignore the EU regulations: it goes against the premises of free trade as well, so somewhere there must be a legal clause to do that. Yet they probably prefer just raising the prices without having to do anything to earn it ... how long will we continue to pay for this crap?

Architecture and the art of healing

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Vis) — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 10:10:00 +0000

I love BBC documentaries and Coast is one of them, although I haven't seen many episodes. It is about the British coast, which is absolutely awesome in my view. This episode was about the historical development of the buildings and structures along the coast. How many of the landmarks have disappeared.
It reminded me of that beautiful coastal town on the other side of the world: San Francisco.
There too the phenomenal landmarks have disappeared:

This is a picture of the Cliff House in San Francisco, about a century ago, a striking building with many beautiful details. If you go there today, the new building does not have any charm and you may even pass it without noticing.
So why am I talking about these changes?
Most of you will know about the research of Japanese scientist Masaru Emoto on the structure of water. How the water crystals become more harmonious and beautiful in environments of high energy and loving thoughts.
In the presence of negative energies the entropy increases and the water crystals become chaotic in structure.

So how could the state of architecture today and compared to a century ago, be seen in the light of dr. Emoto's research?
We know how the structure of a building can influence how we feel and even what we are thinking(!!!). It is for instance known that a higher ceiling enables more "thinking outside the box" than a lower ceiling, which is more conducive to practical every day solutions. Beauty is not just a superficial thing for the vain and rich as every artist can tell you: there is something in the soul that relaxes and expands in the presence of beauty and that includes the beauty of the environment and buildings.
But could it be that we can also turn this around and say that as a collective, our energies influence the shape of the buildings we create?
And then: that our energy is vibrating on a level much lower than a century ago and creates the ugly structures around us ...?
Could it be that all new age talk about rising frequencies is just not in alignment with reality?
Is it surprising that our children are turning to virtual reality to find old castles and all the stuff from fairy tales?
Maybe one day the 3D printers can print new buildings and we can create once again the magical structures that are part of our collective (sub)consciousness and that we do need for healing and well being.

Love is in the air ...

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Vis) — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 12:06:00 +0000

An artist is always kind of "off" when it comes to timing of events. The season for Valentine's Day is already long on it's way, whereas of course the day itself is still weeks away. For myself it means being "immersed in the energies" ... and who does not want to float in an ocean of love? The associations are still pink, sweet, and floral ... and having a new style this year with fractal art.
Also new this year is an anti-Valentine's Day card: I named it "Barbed wire heart Valentine card" ... :-)

Most of my cards however have the sweetness and love of the traditional Valentine's Day cards:

This is a traditional "love birds card" ...
Find more new cards on Sunny Sites Online Art Store, there are quite a few new ones already ... more coming! ;-)

Fractals ... and more fractals!

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Vis) — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 16:22:00 +0000

Fractals are derived from mathematical formulas in nature, like the structure of a leaf for instance. The way they can be used in art offers a sheer endless amount of possibilities, some of the main categories I would like to point out today.
I chose some iPad designs I recently created as this allows for a good view of the fractal. The designs are actually available on entire series of different products.
The first category is a flower fractal. This is like going back to the roots of the fractal, and create natural forms all over again. Being with the fractal flowers can be like a walk through an exotic garden on a different planet. The fractal flowers can have very exotic shapes or colors, but that is where the freedom of the artist comes in:

The second category is the free art: a fractal that is composed of different layers and can not, or only partially, be led back to its source. It's the freeform fractal.
This is a beautiful example of a "wild fractal":

The third category is a mandala type fractal
This is a regular fractal, but it has a kaleidoscope effect applied to it, which gives it a meditative aspect. Like the other fractals, it can be healing just to watch them and be with them.
Here is an example of a mandala fractal on an iPad case:

The last category of fractal design that I would like to point out today is probably the most famous type of fractal: the spiral fractal. These fractals seem to be spiraling around a center and can be very mesmerizing. The spiral fractal is usually also very energizing and has an uplifting effect.
A good example is this spiral fractal on an iPad case:

This is just a selection, I'm sure I will get back to it later, as I am currently completely addicted to creating this stuff :-) So I have to keep adding new categories along the way ... (this may lead to some of the links not working when you visit; you can then always go back to the main site: annevisdesign).
As you can see the variety is endless and so is the energetic effect of each different design. Enjoy!

Playing God?

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Vis) — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:34:00 +0000

It's interesting to see how this "God person" keeps popping up lately ... :-)
BBC has a great start of this year with quite a few documentaries on new science and last night I watched Horizon on synthetic biology. (here's a short compilation of information on synthetic biology).
As with physics, I also don't have the "biology chip" installed, so finding that nowadays goats can produce milk that can then be turned into silk is quite mindboggling to me!
As with the latest physics, this is also really exciting science though, also because of implications for health care ... and we still go for making the blind see again and the lame walk, right?
But even this invention to have goats produce milk to create silk is nice, as now the caterpillars are dying as a result of the production of silk. And now thanks to our friend spider new options are opening ... (nice to see spiders from a friendly angle too!)
And if this new technique can also create diesel, why not have it create entirely environment-friendly new energy?
I watched this video by professor Jamie Davies of Edinburgh University:

It also goes into the developments of children and people from all walks of life going into this field in backyards, garages and kitchens, like in Sunnyvale. It's called biocurious (this should be one of the websites, I can't check it today as it is on strike against the censorship of the web by US government; my own sites are also on strike!).
I feel quite silly that I wasn't aware of all these new and exciting developments before, so it's time to catch up!
Here's a video on synthetic neurobiology:

I could not find any backyard projects in Amsterdam, but here is a link to the international competitions that Jamie Davies was referring to.
Yes, this stuff will stir up the ancient ethical questions ... but as long as we have israelis creating nuclear explosions in Japan ... do we really want to stop all new developments ...?
And as you can see in the illustration at the top of this post, synthetic biology must have been on the back of my mind all along ...

Is God stupid?

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Vis) — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 21:14:00 +0000

Biologist Richard Dawkins is visiting the Netherlands and apparently has the status of "pop idol" or "rock star" according to some news programs.
To tell you the truth I had never heard of him before, but that has changed this evening as I have been watching quite a few YouTube movies.
As a former dentist, my training during the first 3 years was almost identical as that for doctors and thus evolution was a part of it and also it's supposed relationship to embryology. I remember not believing one word of it, it just did not make sense to me.
Of course I was the only one.
But in the last couple of years I have found an increasing number of people not believing in the evolution theory, but then based on religious convictions.
Which in my humble opinion is just as unconvincing.
So here are some of the movies I watched, just to get you warmed up on the topic:

And of course the most convincing one:

What is interesting in this is also the timing: Richard Dawkins makes a joke about politics, wondering if when there are so many politicians in the US who are religious, there are any who are actually not stupid ... ? :-)
Good question.
Could it be that none of these theories is true, despite so called "evidence" in favor of either of them?
I find them actually flying in the face of the latest findings in physics.
One of them of course being the theories of Stephen Hawking about what happened before the "Big Bang". I guess I am the ultimate skeptic, because I do not even believe in a "Big Bang". But also the latest research which is showing that matter can actually spontaneously appear, goes against a theory that says that everything is created from something that was "before". What if time is an illusion? Then there is no "before" and the entire evolution theory falls flat on it's face, God or no God ...
Of course I am very fascinated with what Tony Parsons has to say lately and he thinks the whole thing is an illusion, it is "what appears to be happening and is both real and unreal" ... what do you do with that?

My first political cartoon! :-)

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Vis) — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 19:47:00 +0000

Uhm, yes ... I was so upset that netanyahu is coming to the Netherlands and our stupid government is receiving him as a king, that I was looking for other ways to protest ... and thus the cartoon was born, despite my lack of drawing skills ... :-)
There are two protests on Thursday January 19 in the Hague, at 9:45 AM. One on Plein and one on Buitenhof.
In case you are not familiar with Amsterdam Bijlmermeer: this was the area where an ElAl boing crashed in 1992 while it was carrying chemical weapons from New York to the israeli territories via Amsterdam. The politicians who were involved have all been lying in parliamentary inquiries (under oath) and never been prosecuted. Like also the israelis keep getting away with their crimes (so far).
And yes, the Iranian nuclear scientist is dead now, nobody can bring him back ... My condolences to family and loved ones of all victims of crimes ...

The influence of science on art

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Vis) — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 07:55:00 +0000

The most famous example of the influence of science on art is probably expressed by one of the most inspiring artists all times: Salvador Dalí.
It is well known that he read all the articles in scientific literature, especially about the discoveries of Einstein. The fluid clocks are such a beautiful example of how he found form for his insights.
And one of the most used examples of scientific influence on art is fractal art, originally derived from discoveries in mathematics. And yes, for a change I have found an image that fits the text :-): a postcard with one of my latest flower fractals. Which in itself is also quite interesting. The formulas for fractals are derived from nature (for instance the structure of a leaf). And although fractals as expressed art can look quite clinical, there are also many fractals that regain that floral quality.
And now we have the Higgs particle in physics. The "God particle".
Let me tell you that all the excitement is not just in the world of physics and technical sciences, but that I am also really curious to see how this will play out in art. The BBC just broadcasted another program on the discovery (or not) of this particle and also mentioned the super symmetry, which plays a role in the matter/anti-matter theory. In art we look at composition and the subject of symmetry and balance is very important.
We don't know how new discoveries will affect our daily life yet, but it looks like this one is going to be big.
In "new age" theories many people have been predicting the arrival of new colors. With our planet moving through the Photon belt and all new energy frequencies, this idea is not so far out. The question may need to be if our eyes will be able to pick up on it, or that we need to be looking at expanding the range of frequencies that the human eye can read. Maybe the new colors are already here, but we do not see them yet!
New food for healing and the health care profession as well!

Unbelievable or True?

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Vis) — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 18:47:00 +0000

Imagine the theatre of life and find yourself looking at the scene in Japan in March 2011. The media say there has been an earthquake ... Read this article and let me know if you still believe this story ... or maybe not?
Now shift to the scene in Oslo, Norway, summer 2011 ... a massive attack on children. Supposedly done by "one idiot" who was operating alone. Or was he?
Back to Mumbai, India ... supposedly an attack by Pakistani ... or was it?
Further back in time: London, 2007. New York, 2001.
Al Qaida? Do you still believe that?

One thing that should be important in investigating the truth of something is if the supposed "killer" has a motive. It is also helpful to have a psychological picture of how this person/organization works.
And to listen to what they are telling us.
So to put the dots together we see a line of events that lead to one source.
Why do the media not tell us the truth: blackmail? Or do we only need to look at who actually owns the media?

Let's turn to the Dutch situation.
Everybody is screaming murder about Geert Wilders.
Supposedly because he is a populist.
Which is of course not the main reason why he would pose a danger to Dutch society.
The real danger is that he is sponsored by the zionists and he does not make that a secret, openly telling us that the israeli territory interests prevail above the interests of the Dutch people. (how crazy is that and which other country does that make you think of?!!!)
The security at Amsterdam airport is done by israelis, of whom it is well known that they build in spyware in any technical equipment that leaves their territories. Why was anyone surprised by the so called "underwear bomber", who was obviously put deliberately on the plane by the israeli "security forces"?
Also the "security" in the government buildings are done by israeli companies.
These are all well known facts.
Now back to Fukushima, because that is a much bigger step.
Who has the motive?
Obviously if it is true that Iran got its uranium from Japan ... who would get really pissed off?
Who had the means to do this? Look at who was in charge of the "security" of the Japanese nuclear plants ...
Other known facts: the "viruses" (also called Stuxnet) in the Iranian nuclear facilities.
Of course after one of the first rulers of the israeli territories, Golda Meir, said that they wanted to rule the entire world and if that would not succeed they would take all of us down with them ... a human is warned, wouldn't you agree?

As it unfolds, the plot of this entire drama (we cannot call it a comic play at this stage any more ...) becomes clearer and clearer.
Jim Stone just today shed some more light on this. This in case you wondered why every time the cameras of CNN are supposed to turn to Ron Paul, there seems to be a "connection problem". Even the Dutch media, at the time when Ron Paul was second in the polls, did give a profile of all the candidates except for Ron Paul ... What is that about? How ridiculous does this get?
And don't believe that because nobody talks about Fukushima any more, there is no more danger ... it is still leaking tremendous amounts of nuclear waste ... and no, it does not stay just in Japan, it is here too ... And no, the regular media and government agencies will not publish any real data. (remember how the EU simply raised the safety norm after the Fukushima incident so that it would be called "safe" no matter what?)
In the new age scenes I have lately heard people warning about 7th dimensional beings with evil intentions. I tell you: as long as we have the israelis, we have nothing to fear from 7th dimensional beings ...
Have a safe and happy 2012!

Nature's surprises

For the last six months I have seen regular messages about unrest near the Katla volcano in Iceland. Some experts said it was bound to erupt as it has erupted in the past closely after that other famous volcano with the unspeakable name in Iceland.
This is a beautiful movie that I would like to share here ... watch till the end to see the wild horses!

This is a link to the webcams on Iceland:

P.S. You probably got that I put an image of a sweet and comforting teddy bear there for you on purpose ... :-)

Happy New Year!

Wishing you a fabulous 2012 in excellent health and full of joy, inspiration and love!
If you are looking for new inspirations for this coming year, you may want to check out my lens Inspiring Art where you can find lots of ways to get inspired, and you know that inspiration does not just apply to art, but to everything in life, is it our relationships, the way we create our jobs, literally everything! Vibrant aliveness expressing itself in a multitude of ways!
As you can see I have tons of inspiration in fractal art work recently, so the rainbow color fractal you see on a binder here, is just one of many! You can see my latest fractals on annevisdesign , my newest online store. Thinking of fractals, how they are actually based on the mathematics of for instance a leaf ... straight from nature!
Pure magic!

Physics and Fractals

One of the most positive and inspiring fields of research is in my eyes physics. Yes, I know, the chip was not installed when I was born, but for some reason I resemble the infamous moth around the flame: it keeps drawing me in. And lately there have been several great documentaries on tv: the search for God with Stephen Hawking (Discovery), the lecture by Brian Cox on subatomic particles (BBC) and last and maybe most inspiring: the world of parallel universes (Discovery). And no, I cannot explain or repeat the details to you ... :-).
It's like the information goes straight to that subatomic level, making everything dance and sing!

Thanks to my friend Thea Walstra, whose art you can find at Zazzle, I have a new and wild inspiration to create fractals. You can find them mostly in my new Zazzle store, annevisdesign.
Many thanks, Thea, for your generous sharing of insights!
