Magic Realism and Asian Magic-Surrealism in York
From houses and streets within York comes a New Artistic Style which attempts to reconcile Eastern Style with Western Images of Art. The Magic-Realism comes also from South American influences: that have governed the chosen Subject matter of the Paintings. The Style is Asian Magic-Surrealism.
These Paintings are Digital Paintings. Not many people know this, but if you get a good Printing Firm a Digital File that has been created with a Programme like Corel Painter can be turned into a Canvas for many. For instance: https://www.printerpix.co.uk/photo-canvas-prints/...
Some people may think we have 'blown it for the Art World' by telling you about this. Indeed I know that some Galleries have been doing this anyway, and selling such Prints at Premium Prices. Digital Art does take some Expertise though, and Art without using a Computer is both pleasurable, therapeutic and much to be valued though the cost of the Paints and Canvases can be expensive for the Artist.
If you would like a Copy of any of the above files sending to you please do get in touch with us. The original file might print out better than if you just try to Copy and Save it onto your Computer from here or do this with another Artwork from Google Images yourselves.

Postmen, Postwomen and Stamps
Perhaps ask some Postmen and Postwomen about it yourselves? Postmen and Postwomen are very very necessary and verging on the Miraculous. We are very thankful for the Postpersons in this country and hope we are not taking them for granted too much or exploiting them too much with Junkmail....
We hope that the Post and Water and Food are getting through to everywhere:
"Uganda (/juːˈɡændə/ yew-gan-də or /juːˈɡɑːndə/ yew-gahn-də), officially the Republic of Uganda,[1] is a landlocked country in East Africa"

Miraculously and Amazingly also a man from "Amazon" delivered six Tambourines to one of our Journalist's homes in York today in preparation for the Musical Get-Together next Saturday....
A recording of Paul Sutherland's very important Talk in York on 5th February 2017 in York in "The Royal Oak" snug up Goodramgate and in the company of a few people in and from York. Paul explains that there are whole Nations of People who have not been properly acknowledged or represented, displaced, possibly killed and subjected to injustices in the wake of the so-caled "progress" of modern society and talks about the people who possibly still are amongst some referred to as "The First Nation" in Canada ... He explains his own conversion to the Muslim Faith partly in that context. There is also a question about Language and disappearing Languages and attempts to restore them we think needs to be analysed, discussed and thought about........
China, Fish, Ponds, Lakes.....This children's book was printed in China for a British publisher. I am worried all of our printing is being done in China and that China is paying the cost equally with us environentally, or that perhaps things are even worse now in China, the land that used to safeguard their environment as a kind of Heaven guarded by a Dragon. Perhaps that is even what the Great Wall was meant to signify...the snaky curves of the Dragon's keeping, seen from up above. It is important what is happening down below as well though....We orignally thought that we might try to invigorate the Quest to get some of the food for the fish and fish for the ponds, and fish and water and vegetation for the lakes by playing you some music from the Operetta "Orpheus and Euridice" ...(with Orpheus being the King of animals in Greek myth) but kindly the Chinese have given us a great sample of their own music. This seems to be played on a guitar but we have heard some great music too from China played on Instruments that they have in their awareness and keeping that they might want to let us be aware of once more.....? We do hope that the Publisher of the book does not mind us showing you what our own children are being shown.....I really think it is about time we try to address some of the problems for the little ones and teenagers and young people now. You will notice that the Goldfish originally ate worms in the water....we do wonder what is going on or has been going on with Silk Worms as well. We think that something to do with Silk Worms could be the origin of the song "Here we go Round the Mulberry Bush".....and we are aware of the Silk Road and the part that Marco Polo played ....and believe that Polo mints may have originally been named after him by the Rowntree brothers in York. We can understand that the Rowntree brothers really did think that they were trying to solve a problem of poverty for the world, - some kind of Capitalist-seeming model .....but
Please refer to our previous post......Here we hope is the video with the kind permission of Facebook Technicians....We are aware now that we might have to be in favour of Food Cartels etc and that we might have to share as well as compete? One of our journalists has been told by a young man "There are Vast Greenhouses in which every item of fruit or vegetable is Produced to its Optimum Condition"....The journalist in question really would strongly prefer to be able to remain Vegetarian if possible and we cannot understand why other people would not when there is currently the choice to eat greens, oranges, purples, reds, yellows and all the other lovely fruit and vegetables available....not to mention lovely peanits also we hope. We will be adding another video we made two years ago for your consideration later, we hope. We are not sure how some of our own Islands in the United Kingdom are provided for ....including the Fair Isles.....and do hope there are still Ferry Services available. We are aware that the whole of the Falkland Islands intervention may not have made sense if the Government is prepared to neglect its own neighbours.....We have also been alerted to the fact that we have no idea how Singapore fares regarding food supplies nowadays perhaps since the Island seems built up with skyscrapers....We are hoping that one of our Scottish friends will be able and permitted and willing to comment on this post and give some further information as journalists are supposedly often allowed to. Please do not accuse us of being "Psychopaths" for trying to enter into some persuasive debate.....and what we hope will be a worldwide discussion....We also have to tell the York people that Bootham Park Hospital IS still in use, despite the once-reported faulty roof and albeit by members of staff only it might seem. We are hoping that nothing sinister is going on there. York does seem to have led the debate somewhat about mental health recently ....but in fact it seems th
Perhaps this ancient document signifying some kind of Insurance Company in York from long ago is another reason why we all do have to try to be Peacemakers here...
Middlesborough Docks - the exploration continues
I was unable to make out what was hidden under the ivy without causing a scene of potential embarrassment but we can ask whether Ian Horn is still alive and if so whether he would like to be interviewed.....?
Since our software cannot currently seem to process the photograph Michael Rimmer agreed we might use as our Cover Photo here is a quick video of the photograph of The Angel Roof at Holy Trinity, Blythburgh :
Roseberry Park Middlesborough's Winding Poem - Part 2nb
This metallic winding poem on the ground to follow is in Middlesborough and I am told it is made of the same metal as the Angel of The North. Roseberry Park commissioned Grit and Pearl to create it as a Team I think, though the author of the poem I have still to find out, though I am told his first name may be Richard. This is the first part of the poem. I have another part to share soon - but my camera would not pick up my recordings of all the routes. It is unusual that Roseberry Park allow people to record or take images inside their Courtyard, so I am thankful to have been granted their permission to record this film as part of an Arts Incentive Project. A team of people who are involved with the Tees, Esk and Wear Valley mental health services are hoping to put on an Arts Exhibition to involve former and present service users.... in York Minster in May next year as part of Mental Health Awareness Week with the theme "Reflect, Grow, Be".
