    mutant gif by Darren Daz Cox

    LOVE IT SO MUCH!
    Sand 'tween my toes
    and minimal clothes
    make for fun in the sun
    yeah you know it!

    but the seashore at night
    is a sensual sight
    as the moonbeams
    sow love seeds for poets!

    Time
    Time is a weird thing
    goes sooo slow when yer
    waiting for the bell to ring
    goes fast on Christmas
    and sunny days
    and when you're in love
    it compresses and strays,
    time is elastic
    and sometimes like glue
    but it's never wasted
    when I talk to you!

    Artists
    all great artists seem full of doubt
    there is too much inside
    and not enough out
    but each piece of art
    makes someones day,
    perhaps our souls
    need it that way.

    kharmalade
    Would this have made
    a good last day?
    did I accomplish
    any kharmalade goal?
    did I climb some sunsetted peak

    by the bay
    to placate my expectant soul?
    no, but i did take a second
    to look around
    like that dude
    with his own Iron Chefs,
    and in that infinity portal
    i'll go as a mortal
    suspecting it's all for the best....

    SOMETHING GOOD
    I remember something good
    back when days
    unfolded like
    a grand adventure should.
    I don't want to just fit in
    be functional like some machine,
    I want a purpose
    need the wind
    to blow the scent of fortune
    on my skin.
    Are you of that small percent
    who cannot fold
    who will not bend
    who takes a soul and strips it bare
    not because you can
    but because it's there... ?

    mutant gif by Darren Daz Cox

    You Is You
    You are you and that is good
    you may not be what they say you should
    or be that which you cannot be
    and you wouldn't want to be like me
    but I see you as you and so
    if you see me unmasked say "yo"
    "what makes Me me is all unique
    what makes us Us makes us complete"

    I Artist
     i sometimes wonder

    if it is so
    that I am an artist 
    simply because i say so
    was I born with talent
    to write or to paint?
    a prodigy perhaps?
    there's no doubt that I aint
    not a leader or lackey
    no big money schemes
    but an artist 
    resulting from having big dreams
    they say visualise
    what you want to be
    regardless of what people say
    and all will come true
    quite possibly
    maybe
    some happy day!!

    THE DANDYLION STAR
    Amongst the speckled field of black
    I saw the dandylion star
    it winked at me
    and I winked back
    and sent that wish up far,
    the other stars
    looked more like gems
    like diamonds stuck in tar,
    but I liked the mellow
    glow of the yellow
    wonderful dandylion star.
    like crystal fish the others sit
    cold like a platinum bar,
    but how can you miss
    when you make a wish
    upon the dandylion star?

    mutant gif by Darren Daz Cox

    WE TWO STARS
    We two stars
    burn so intense
    without pretence or fuss
    and what would we say
    if somewhere far away
    someone made a wish upon us?
    for the darker the night
    the brighter the light
    that shines for every face
    so get up and stay
    in the vast milky way
    and add your light to the space!

Monmouth/Ocean County New Jersey Arts People Page

Monmouth county painter and graphic designer darren daz coxillustration by monmouth county NJ keansburg artist Darren Daz Cox

This page will use the power of  sitemaps and search engines like Google to prove the usefulness of social networking, specifically in networking the arts my local area (Monmouth County NJ USA). For example, if you search Google for the name of the communications director for The Monmouth County Arts Council, half of the images you find will be of my art! and they are also linking to my art blog!

So by simply having a page that lists the names of the people associated with the arts in my local area those people will find my art when they (ultimately and invariably) search for their own names in Google.

If I happen to be the only website with pictures indexed by google that mentions the persons name then all the pictures associated with that persons name will be my pictures!

There are hundreds of artists in my local area,  Most of them I can’t find on the web (without already knowing them).

I met Sven Widen at SICA, found his page on The Guild of Creative Art site .

Just down the road from Red Bank in Long Branch, The Shore Institute of The Contemporary Arts is doing a fine job of keeping their web site up to date and welcomes volunteers.
