WORDS & IMAGES
Digital art. Short stories.
While exploring my artistic side, I experimented with digital art. Starting with a simple image and manipulation on my iPhone. Then I added a few words of explanation, which crept into a story as I did more of them
This started to distract from the simple Art images that had no story, so I’ve split out the digital art into this site.
There is no great logic to this, the stories are for the most part stand alone.
The Art is on dbart.quotion.co
I’m not on social media.

0248 - 2025.09 Desert Dreaming
What, I thought, am I looking at? Am I dreaming? Is this real? The image in front of me is desert like, but not quite right. What do I remember? A camel comes to mind - the desert is not a place for
