Peace Together

The title “Peace together” is a play on the words ‘piece together’. It is very current theme given the 2 major conflicts that are happening in the world. I don’t know if there could ever be peace on earth given the nature of humans, and the many things that divide us.

But, any person who truly cares for other human beings and is sensitive soul like myself peace on earth is something that we truly wish for and hope for on this hostile planet.

‘Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.’ – Ernest Hemingway

‘The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him’. – G.K. Chesterton

‘Only the dead have seen the end of war.’ – Plato

Goldfish Guru

The Goldfish Guru is a happy fish. Due to his bad memory he forgets that his daily routine consists of swimming in a tiny glass bowl day after day.

If there was a technology that could erase people’s bad memories would that make people happier?

Is it the bad memories or their current difficult situation that are making people unhappy? Or both?

If it is the bad memories that caused the person to be unhappy in their present situation, can the erasure of the bad memories improve the present situation?

So many question, and so few answers…

“One of the keys to happiness is a bad memory.”-Rita Mae Brown

The World Needs to Chillax

It’s an anthropomorphic world! Eww the world has some very ugly feet 😉

Μy drawings were inspired by the recent catastrophic events of the past few years. It seems like the whole world is on fire. From the Amazon to the Arctic to Europe, Australia and Africa. The melting of the glacier in Iceland. So many terrible chain of events. It’s so depressing. If only the arrogant world leaders were all environmentalists. What a better world it would be.

Είναι ένας ανθρωπομορφικός κόσμος! Ο κόσμος έχει πολύ άσχημα πόδια. 😉

Τα σχέδια ήταν εμπνευσμένα από τα πρόσφατα καταστροφικά γεγονότα των τελευταίων ετών. Φαίνεται ότι όλος ο κόσμος καίγεται. Από τον Αμαζόνιο στην Αρκτική στην Ευρώπη και την Αφρική. Η τήξη του παγετώνα στην Ισλανδία. Τόσα πολλά τρομερά γεγονότα, το ενα μετα το αλλο. Είναι τόσο καταθλιπτικό. Εάν μόνο οι αλαζονικοί ηγέτες του κόσμου ήταν όλοι περιβαλλοντολόγοι ο κόσμος θα ήταν ένα καλύτερο μέρος.
