Happy Father's Day!
This is a card-paper cut-out, created for my father on Father's Day. (The gift to him does not have the 'AM Art Institute' logo on it... The logo watermark on the illustration makes for good pro-motional material.)
Pardon my raw Alien Man hand writing, it may be hard to read. Here's what it says:
Happy Father's Day!
This represents the union of the mind and heart, which I intuit in you, as a father.
This balance helps us to be adults in the world, and healthily parent our own creations.O.C. Tanner Recognition Company Ltd.

A Message From the Journal of Alien Man
It must be expressed! Love life in all its expression(s).
About This Message:
This phrase just came to me, self evident as it is true. Love life in all its expression(s). Journal entry created on Pentalic journal... The design of the Pentalic symbols, designed on the inside covers of the journal... is played with, by entering letters... The Pentalic symbols, designed in this way, are reminiscent of the Flower of Life.
As I illustrate what a Flower of Life looks like, I show you a piece I did in 3rd Year Illustration at Sheridan College...
The Flower of Life is a geometric structure which occurs in the use of a compass, creating intersecting circles of the same diameter. Lines and links may be drawn according to these intersecting points, to form any geometric shape...
Intersecting circles of the same diameter suggest complete oneness. Intersecting points drawn, are relationships. Relationships in life.
Eye From Darkness
The Maturation Process
This is the transference of a vision from the imagination, which occurred during a meditation.

Welcome to the AM We B Site B-log.
This is a platform to share ideas, information and essence.
This medium of communication is a way to maintain a branch of journal to share information in a fashion that is intimate, up-to-date and current.
A B-log is the reflection of a creator's light. By simply documenting observations - or directly expressing what we are - a product is created for us to live with. We observe back at the creation, and the creation is showing us what we are.
What does 'B' mean?
In this context, B means "Be". This is an AM B-log on the AM We B Site. AM Art Institute is a creative interactive phenomenon that encourages life as it is.B-lo(n)gThis is Alien Man's online on-board space ship log. As Alien Man is on his adventures, he tends to take a few minutes before, after, and/or during the process, to log what is happening.
From an Alien Man comic done when i was a child.This first post is primarily the Intro-Ducer aspect of the creative process. An initializing decision to fulfill this creative urge (to make a blog) gives way to more creativity and fulfillment through this medium.I hope you visit the site now and then, and check out updates here, and we can collectively expand our minds together.

From darkness, to clarity. From blindness to vision. From pain to peace.
This piece shows the process of a Relien eye maturing to an Alien Man eye.
When we notice the potential for personal growth from immaturity to maturity, darkness becomes fuel for creativity. Passion may reveal itself and tears may be shed from the eyes.
One may view the problem from a view of observation rather than consumption, while understanding one's connection to it.
Realizing my connection in the universe, I ask it to help me become love as much as possible, for this is the vision I see for myself.
Knowing this, I accept myself fully as I am... right now.
This image shows the growth process, from complete darkness, to a purgatory of transformation, and finally to transcendence. From the view of transcendence, one may see the spatter from the dark, but it no longer rules one's life.
At least, that's what was going on for me when I made this. Perspectives may vary.

This is a mandala. The colour is indigo, which is the colour of the Third Eye chakra.
I hope this helps to lift your spirits.
