”Psychosis is a term used to describe mental disorders that prevent the sufferer from thinking clearly, recognizing reality and acting rationally” The BMA
Once again I’m losing myself in creative freedom! This time a representation of a photoshoot just over the road from the supermarket in Penzance! It appeals to me that images can be made anywhere and of anything. Believe it or not, there is a St Ives garage door in there!
What happens when the work disappears?
Not with a struggle, not with a fight, but with a quiet shift—an algorithm, a decision, a world that no longer needs your labour.
And yet, here you are.
Not discarded, not forgotten, but freed.
No strings attached.
No obligations, no demands.
Just time.
Endless, unstructured, yours.
And so, the world changes.
Not in the grand halls of power, but in the backrooms of community centres, in the corners of shared workshops, in the hands of those who finally have the time to create.
The walls become canvases.
The clay takes shape—loving figures, delicate forms, the spin of a potter’s wheel.
Wood is carved, fabric is stitched, and something beautiful emerges from the effort.
This is not the end of purpose.
This is the beginning of possibility.
A life where the only question is:
What will you make with the time you’ve been given?
Poem: "The Unshackled Hours"
The clock no longer ticks for wages,
the hands no longer bend for bread.
The world has moved on,
and left you with this instead:
A brush, a chisel, a lump of clay,
a wall that begs for colour,
a wheel that spins with promise.
No master, no deadline, no must—
only the quiet hum of what if?
And so, the hands that once toiled
now shape, now paint, now dream.
The time that was stolen
is yours to reclaim.
The world may have turned,
but here, in this space,
the soul finally blooms.
Three Haikus
No boss, no deadline—
the clay spins on the wheel,
time bends to my touch.
Brush meets the blank wall,
colours bloom where labour faded—
freedom takes its form.
The chisel rests deep,
wood whispers its hidden shape—
work becomes pure joy.

Abandoned concrete military structures stand covered in graffiti along the San Francisco coastline near the Golden Gate Bridge, reclaimed by coastal vegetation during the blue hour. These ruins are part of Battery Godfrey, one of many coastal defense installations built around San Francisco Bay to protect against potential naval attacks during the early 20th century.
The main structure features characteristic World War II-era concrete construction—thick walls designed to withstand bombardment, arched openings that once housed massive artillery guns, and multi-level platforms connected by exterior staircases. The reinforced concrete, now weathered by decades of salt air and Pacific storms, provides an ideal canvas for street artists and graffiti writers who've transformed these military relics into an evolving outdoor gallery.
Colorful graffiti covers every visible surface—tags, throw-ups, and pieces in blues, whites, reds, and other vibrant colors layered over previous work. The abandoned nature of these fortifications makes them magnets for urban explorers, photographers, and graffiti artists who appreciate both the historical significance and the creative freedom these spaces provide. Nature actively reclaims the structures, with native coastal shrubs and grasses growing across concrete surfaces and through cracks.
The dirt trail winding through overgrown vegetation leads visitors from parking areas or coastal trails to these hidden ruins. The twilight sky creates moody atmosphere—that deep blue hour light that photographers seek when shooting abandoned places. The coastal scrub typical of San Francisco's western edge—ice plant, coyote brush, and hardy grasses—thrives in this harsh environment shaped by wind, salt spray, and fog.
Battery Godfrey was part of the extensive harbor defense system protecting San Francisco Bay from the late 1800s through World War II. When long-range missiles made coastal artillery obsolete, these batteries were decommissioned and largely abandoned, becoming part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. They now serve as historical monuments, reminders of the military infrastructure that once dominated this coastline, and unintentional art spaces where urban creativity meets military history.

What will you make with the time you’ve been given?
Poem: "The Unshackled Hours"
The clock no longer ticks for wages,
the hands no longer bend for bread.
The world has moved on,
and left you with this instead:
A brush, a chisel, a lump of clay,
a wall that begs for colour,
a wheel that spins with promise.
No master, no deadline, no must—
only the quiet hum of what if?
And so, the hands that once toiled
now shape, now paint, now dream.
The time that was stolen
is yours to reclaim.
The world may have turned,
but here, in this space,
the soul finally blooms.
Three Haikus
No boss, no deadline—
the clay spins on the wheel,
time bends to my touch.
Brush meets the blank wall,
colours bloom where labour faded—
freedom takes its form.
The chisel rests deep,
wood whispers its hidden shape—
work becomes pure joy.
What happens when the work disappears?
Not with a struggle, not with a fight, but with a quiet shift—an algorithm, a decision, a world that no longer needs your labour.
And yet, here you are.
Not discarded, not forgotten, but freed.
No strings attached.
No obligations, no demands.
Just time.
Endless, unstructured, yours.
And so, the world changes.
Not in the grand halls of power, but in the backrooms of community centres, in the corners of shared workshops, in the hands of those who finally have the time to create.
The walls become canvases.
The clay takes shape—loving figures, delicate forms, the spin of a potter’s wheel.
Wood is carved, fabric is stitched, and something beautiful emerges from the effort.
This is not the end of purpose.
This is the beginning of possibility.
A life where the only question is:
What will you make with the time you’ve been given?

Powerful and well-designed icons are universally recognised. They embody products, messages, or brands without the need for written explanation. Icons can convey meaning and emotion, either on a personal level or at a brand level. Given the power they hold for your business, excellent icon design is essential.
When used correctly, icons are easily remembered and can enhance usability. However, poorly designed custom icons will have the opposite effect, creating confusion and making navigation more difficult. Where the intention of an icon is unclear, users will not know what action to take, what product is being offered, or what brand is being promoted. If users are unsure, they are unlikely to click on the icon, and this has a detrimental effect on your profits and lowers the return you gain from investing in an icon designer.
Icon design needs to consider the purpose of the icon, how it is interpreted by those viewing it, and the visual impact it has on the viewer. Consistency is another important aspect that needs to be considered. If you use inconsistent design in your icon, then it loses its universality and again creates confusion.

Join The New Zealand Internet Blackout to protest against the Guilt Upon Accusation law 'Section 92A' that calls for internet disconnection based on accusations of copyright infringement without a trial and without any evidence held up to court scrutiny. (http://creativefreedom.org.nz/blackout.html)
[it's more like a 'greyout' because I simply enlarged a dark pixel from graffiti.freiburg.bplaced.net/#mw115]
As the natural world meets the digital opportunities are opening up for artists to connect with new audiences across the world. However, with the digitisation of media the lines between use and copy have become blurred. Laws regulating the act of copying have failed to keep pace with technology and soon ISPs will be forced to take down internet connections and websites of anyone accused (not convicted) of copyright infringement. Copyright law is now having the effect of limiting artists, restricting businesses, and harming public rights. The Creative Freedom Foundation speaks for artists concerned at this trend and through Our Goals- we seek to bring Copyright Law into the 21st Century.
