With SatoriArt my intention was to combine interests in art and design, Eastern philosophies, and 10 years experience as a typographer to create images which will first engage the eye, and then the mind and spirit, to encourage a positive, creative state of consciousness. A state more closely in harmony with the natural order than most of what is available to us, through prevailing media, today. Finally, SatoriArt aspires to be visual meditation on spirit, consciousness and reality.

Offering these images on gift items such as greeting cards, coffee mugs, hats and bags and the like can, hopefully, be a way of spreading around some positive, uplifting energy.

Consider giving someone the gift of satori (art) today.

Well, if not now, when?

Zen Now Period w/brdr

Love

Love
Makes the world go 'round.

Love (w/brdr)

Big Bang

Big Bang
OM, often used as a mantra in meditation, is also, in some eastern metaphysical thought, the "first word". The beginning of the universe. Hence the title: Big Bang...

Big Bang (w/brdr)

Big Bang (w/brdr)
...This op-art inspired painting expresses the energy of that tumultuous first instant, as well as the unfolding of an everyday, ordinary meditation.

Big Bang 00:01

Big Bang 00:01
Atom and Star represent magnitudes of reality in this op-art/abstract imagining of the first second after the Big Bang.

Big Bang 00:01 (w/brdr)

Creation

Creation
Stars and atom in this op-art/abstract painting create a framework within which to ponder the relationship between CREATION and PLAY.

Creation (w/brdr)

Flashback

Flashback
New Age sensibility or flashback to the Woodstock era? This colorful op-art inspired peace & love painting affirms that spiritual ideals never go out of fashion.

Flashback (w/brdr)

Relax

Relax
This kinetic op & pop-art inspired painting features an emerging yin-yang symbol reminding that, essential to maintain or restore balance, is the ability to relax.

Relax (w/brdr)

Maya

Maya
Maya, the power of illusion, conceals the unity of absolute being, causing all that exists to perceive itself as separate from all else.

Speaking of "all in the universe", science shows that ALL

Maya (w/brdr)

Maya (w/brdr)
...is, in fact, "stardust".

This op-art/abstact painting marries these two ideas (with an homage to the painter Hopper tossed in) to honor the longest running show EVER.

Mass Media

Mass Media
The flat screen in this op/pop-art satire could be a computer monitor or a TV, but might just as well be ANY OTHER outlet for modern mass media.

Mass Media (w/brdr)

Contemplation

Contemplation
An op-art jaunt to outer-space (or is that inner-space). Featuring Saturn and stars.

Contemplation (w/brdr)

Bigger Does Not Equal Better

Bigger Does Not Equal Better
This feels like long-forgotten folk wisdom. Something to do with common sense, sustainable interaction with the planet, conservation, and the like. Help revive a rather dusty ideal.

Bigger Does Not Equal Better (w/brdr)

Create, more

Create, more
This inspirational op-art image suggests that it is more satisfying to create, than to consume.

Create, more (w/brdr)

Transcend

Transcend
Welcome to an abstract freescape where the word TRANSCEND ascends past atom and star, suggesting the POSSIBILITY of ascension beyond perceived limits.

Transcend (w/brdr)

Integrity

Integrity
"Got Integrity", an amusing satire of a popular ad campaign or an inspirational meditation to which we all may aspire?

Rendered in vibrant colorful op-art style, with a background of stars.

Integrity (w/brdr)

Serenity

Serenity
Allow this tranquil op-art inspired painting to wash over you, a veritable wave of serenity.

Serenity (w/brdr)

Peace

Peace
A truly psychedelic, day-glo colored op-art extravaganza, featuring a free-floating peace sign against a receding 3D background.

Peace (w/brdr)

Woman

Woman
It was tempting to leave this untitled. Any title, I feared might restrict the viewer's imagination somehow. Finally however, it IS a woman and that sounds much more appealing than, "untitled".

$$$ZILLA vs. the World

$$$ZILLA vs. the World
This picture was originally called, spontaneously, by everyone who saw it, "The Money Monster". For some perverse reason however, I've always wanted to call it "$$$$ZILLA vs. the World".

Dance Spirit

Dance Spirit
An op-art/abstract which somehow manages to suggest the spirit of dance. Upside down as originally painted, it suggests, and is titled "Combustion". Go figure.

Dance Spirit (w/brdr)

More Is Less

More Is Less
More Is Less?
Newspeak, or koan (in spirit at least)??
Guess it all depends on who's doin' the talkin'.

More is Less w/brdr

Combustion

Combustion
A simple attempt to capture the essence of combustion in abstract visual terms. A sort of "slow burn". Oddly enough, as it turned out, upside down it seems to suggest the spirit of dance.

Combustion w/brdr

Mind Control transparent

Mind Control transparent
Had enough yet?? EXPRESS YOURSELF!

Mind Control (w/brdr)

Try Unity

Try Unity
Physics recognizes that a fusion reaction liberates FAR MORE energy than a fission reaction.

Try Unity (w/brdr)

Try Unity (w/brdr)
This example from nature illustrates that there is ALWAYS more strength in UNITY, than in separation.

Love 2

Love 2
Still makes the world go 'round.

Be here now . . . and more.

It's about energy.

Zen . . . yet?.
Red blue and yellow this time

Quantumplation

Quantumplation
Time for a new word. Contemplating the Quantum seemed a bit of a mouthful for a title.

With this I bid you adieu, for now.
