“We must have faith” we keep being told, but some...

“We must have faith” we keep being told, but some days it’s hard to see why.

Yes, the geopolitical world is screwed, as is the religious, but these can change… but ONLY if the people are willing. Sadly, the majority are sheep.

I’m surrounded IRL by mind-controlled sheeple, and they aren’t just the stupid ones… even highly intelligent and learned, experienced people are suckered into the narrative, and trained to attack anyone with a free mind. It’s becoming more and more like a zombie apocalypse, and I am feeling more and more like the Omega Man.

Hospital called me out of the blue today, to tell me to come in tomorrow first thing tomorrow, so I guess I’ll get some fresh air (though with my luck it’ll have been a crank call to get me out of the flat so I can be robbed… told you I was feeling dark).

Sorry to bleat on like this, but sh*t has been getting to me more and more recently, and any hope I may have had is rapidly waning.

Half-Polish / Half-Italian British-born artist-cum-photographer who earned a living as a designer and artist between jobs as a teacher and IT Comms specialist (CV and other details via [profile] above.) A baritone, autistic polymath, and member of Mensa (6σ IQ), I am Jan Szafranski and also known as The Sadistic Scribbler.

Started out as a comic book artist (first underground in the '70s to mainstream in the late '80s) before teaching art & photography to teens. Moved into computers, web-design, photo-manips, etc. before returning to teaching in 2002.

In 2006 I temporarily lost my sight (right in the middle of a lesson with Year 11s), regained it but then started on the slow downhill decline that comes with MS… including pain, fatigue, vision & cognitive problems, and tremors & spasms. Add to that recent development of osteoarthritis, and all of which make drawing, painting and photographing very difficult when not in remission.

I’m now 'sorta-retired' because of the symptoms, but will still accept art or photography commissions, as well as website designs and IT consultancy. More details of which can be found on my business site: www.idea-technology.co.uk and artist portal: www.sadisticscribbler.co.uk.

I am currently working on developing my use of digital painting. Digital painting is an emerging art form in which traditional painting techniques such as watercolor, oils, etc. are applied using digital tools by means of a computer, a digitizing tablet and stylus, and software. Digital painting differs from other forms of digital art, particularly computer-generated art, in that it does not involve the computer rendering from a model, nor does it use the computer to automatically generate a pseudo-painting. Instead, the artist uses traditional painting techniques to create the digital painting directly on the computer as if it were just another brush or medium.

I create the painting, directly on my PC, by using various painting software. The tablet can be compared to a canvas or watercolor paper surface, while the stylus pen or mouse is my paintbrush.
