Oriental Surrealism is a collection—a portfolio, of illustrative consciousness for me. Every one of my most thought-out thoughts over the last several years of having a pen in my hand. — It's also now a reference book for things I've forgotten how to draw, sometimes acting as a guide to a style I've worked so hard to establish. — Unassumingly, a few who own the book have been inspired to draw. So, to fuel the possibility of further inspiration I'm offering a FREE sketchbook to every order of the Oriental Surrealism art book. From now on. No limit, well, I do only have 37 of each, so I suppose it is limited to 37 orders. — But, if you're into it, go to: www.samuelhumphreys.bigcartel.com — Order an OS book and I'll add the free sketchbook to your order. Both are made from recycled paper making them 100% #ZeroDeforestation. — Happy drawing! ✏ — #OrientalSurrealism #artbook #penandink #illustration #free #sketchbook #illustrator #pigmentink #linework #fineart #blacklines #art #theorient #surrealism https://www.instagram.com/p/B0QmDkAFdhs/?igshid=1b9hmw3tbelqa

▪ Bắc Để Trấn Võ ▪ 'The Emperor of the North' controls wind, rain and other elements revered by local sailors and fishermen.

A page a day to give you a big taster of what the Oriental Surrealism art book is all about. Let's start with the 'Armless Buddha'. -- To read about what Oriental Surrealism means, get to the online store: ▪ www.samuelhumphreys.bigcartel.com ▪ OR click-through to the link in my profile. -- ▪ Armless Buddha ▪ When we create images of god they become a representation of our lack of spiritual conviction. It’s when the image of something divine becomes the basis of a religion that the nature of the religion is lost. These misconceived images become something to hold on to, something that displays to others our disbelief in reality. Once we detach ourselves from conceptions and doctrines about the definitive images of religion we will come closer to what existence really is. Have faith in the voiding and destruction of idolised imagery rather than the definitive outline of an idol because it’s from that very void and destruction that everything arises.  -- #OrientalSurrealism #artbook #zerodeforestation #recycledpaper #penandink #armlessbuddha #buddha #illustration #illustrator #linework #theorient #surrealism https://www.instagram.com/p/BxR4SckHTOd/?igshid=8sn8847kj64p

"To disregard the environmental impacts of continuing with infinite growth and reproduction submits us to our own definition of consciousness. If we define consciousness as being aware of and responsive to one's surroundings then surely disregarding that definition, by going blindly into reproduction, is a renunciation of our consciousness." -- ...an excerpt from the artwork statement from my newest limited edition print 'Neoteny'. It adresses the most important environmental issue today. Infinite population growth is the only environmental issue that underlies every other environmental issue on this Earth. Let's start talking about it! -- 'Neoteny' is now available at: ♦ www.samuelhumphreys.bigcartel.com♦ Available in an edition of 100. Printed using black & cream vegetable-based inks on 300gsm off-white uncoated matte paper. 100% recycled. -- Aligning with the motif of this illustration, each print also comes with a native Australian tree planted on your behalf by @cncfaus -- -- #populationgrowth #overpopulation #zerodeforestation #recycledpaper #recycled #conservation #fineart #reforest #reforestation #conservationart #environmentalart #nativetrees #neoteny #illustration #woodblock #blacklines #etching https://www.instagram.com/p/Busv7Q-H8oC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ro8oktulo3on

It's time to ask the birds for help! I'm donating a few Fairy Wren prints to sweeten the deal when you pledge to help our local farmers raise funds for a new Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program on the farm @barragunda. I live on this farm, these guys (and birds) are my friends, this is my home and the fairy wrens are inextricably linked to this Southern Mornington Peninsula landscape. I can't express deeply enough how important it is to steer away from the current mass-agricultural models that are destroying the planet's biodiversity. 🌳 Support @morningpennifarm and @regenerating_farms to meet their goals here at the farm.
