ArtCycle Foundation: Turning Old Sneakers into New Stories through Art, Recycling and Community Empowerment
A pair of old sneakers can be more than just something forgotten in the back of a cupboard or under the bed. It can become a canvas, a creative expression, and a symbol of hope for someone who needs it. This is the vision behind ArtCycle Foundation, a growing creative social initiative focused on collecting second-hand sneakers and tekkies, transforming them through artistic restoration, and donating them to children and adults who need quality footwear. ArtCycle Foundation believes that […] -
About the art process behind my book covers…and a question...
I began abstract painting around 2015–2016 after many years of realistic pen and ink sketching connected to my architectural work. Over time, colour, geometry, and nature shifted my practice toward abstraction.
In 2022, I gave an artist talk at the Lundt‑Glover Gallery in Chatham, NJ, hosted by the Art League of the Chathams, where I discussed my work at the time, including digital developments in NFTs and my decision not to pursue that direction.
Later that year, I began the 27‑painting series that my current ecofiction trilogy covers are based on, using four panels from that show as the starting point for the newer work.
Three good things:
1. Making art.
2. Sharing art.
3. Selling art to pay for more art supplies!!!Watch the full 38‑minute talk here: https://youtu.be/X400L4JI-LQ
The piece shown, Wellness, was part of the solo show and later became the cover for our ASEI Arts international charity anthology, Anthology House Vol. 2, created to benefit UNICEF.
A question for my art and book lover peeps here: when you think about art and the art of book covers, what lights you up, what inspires you, and what are you drawn to reach out for?

I cheated on my Sakura Pigma Micron fineliners with #staedtler fineliners. Wonder if these are worth their salt?

CW: budget art supplies recommendation
If you have a #Rusta shop nearby, you might want to see if they also have the Playbox of Sweden "maleveske" on offer for 69.90 NOK. Clas Ohlson has the same set in their permanent assortment, rebranded, but at 129.90 NOK usually, so almost double the cost.
While aimed at kids, I've personally found the oil pastels to be quite satisfying, and even the water colour paints where vibrant and a joy to play with. Of course I don't expect lightfastness and they don't list the pigments used, but so far my rainbow whirlpool painting is still brightening up one of our walls. :)
Unfortunately I can't check how my oil pastels drawing of aurora borealis over Tromsø is doing, as I accidentally left it at the in-laws and haven't seen it since, and my peacock feather in oil pastels is too recent anyway.
#BeardGrabber really enjoys using his box from time to time, so I picked up two more yesterday; one for me, and one to either restock his, or to use as a gift.
