Dear Reader
Artwala Road has been up and running for six weeks now and already readers have come from England, Japan, Spain, Israel, Canada, India, Ireland, Korea, Australia, Sweden, France, Morocco and all across the United States. And not through any great effort on my part. Not yet anyway. I’ve been focussing on overcoming technical ineptitude and on creating content. Friends with sites of their own have kindly pointed this way. Google has referred those who searched for subjects that exist in some form on the site. And in the magical, interconnectedness of the internet, connections are being made. I’m glad you’re here.
Mostly I’m talking about art here, about the process of making it, about what it might do in this moment in time, about things I see and like and that inspire me. I think a lot about art because to me art reflects our consciousness in this moment in time, or it can. Art can lead consciousness.
As dire as things are on the planet right now there are lots of signs of positive change. In art, in people. I’m looking for signs of art on the planet and reporting the good news here. Whatever comes across my path.
One big sign of positive change is this cyber space where connections are made and news travels fast. The underground is now overground. And we’re all part of it. All of you who visit here and everywhere from all over the world. Talk about radical and talk about good. Art on the planet.

Just wanted to let you know that I adore your blog and your artwork. It’s a nice, positive, hopeful respite on the Internet. I got here via Kelly at Her Able Hands, an uplifting writer herself.
