"Yes" (#13 in the Wild Hearts Collection)

Well, for the final piece of artwork in my 'Wild Hearts Collection' and in my opinion, the one with the greatest meaning of them all.  See, the word Yes is pretty much self explanatory but if someone says it in the correct context, it can bring grown men to their knees and it can make the coldest heart melt.

Yes, I love you.  Yes, I need you.  Yes, I want to be with you.  Yes, you mean the world to me.  Yes, forever just couldn't be long enough with you.  Simply, Yes.

I have made it a point throughout the years to say Yes whenever I had the opertunity and whenever I wasn't stupid enough to let the moment pass me by and I thank the stars for all of the adventures in life and love I have been fortunate enough to have.  Remember; for everyone who wants one of those Wild Hearts for yourself, all you need to do is take the leap and just say, Yes.

And now for the last of the 'Wild Hearts Collection' in HD..."Yes"; I hope you enjoyed them all.

I miss you terribly...yes, you.
-from me.

"Yes"

"Love" (#12 in the Wild Hearts Collection)

Love is amazing; it makes food taste better and movies more enjoyable; it makes life worth living, brings inspiration to the uninspired and gives everyone lucky enough to find it, a purpose greater than you could ever imagine.

Love is many things to many people; man has written volumes of poetic verse on it and it has driven millions to achieve great things.  I have gone on for hundreds of pages writing about Love in every form and I have attempted to create works of art to depict it's endless uses; I have even tried tirelessly to find my own.  I could not do Love the justice it deserves without all of the stories people have told me about their own triumphs and failures; they give me insight and the reason to keep believing in it as much as I do.

I have often spoke of Love as if it were this very simple and attainable 'thing' that others make out to be a complicated and chaotic mess that usually ends in pain.  It is all of these things to many different people but to those who take the chance; for those who allow themselves to be vulnerable to it's shortcomings...it can be the most gratifyingly, amazing experience to to have.

Love to one of those Wild Hearts is a necessity.  You can't live without it and if you happen to be without someone who has Love for you at this moment, you have simply not opened your eyes.  Love is attracted by people who exhibit it.  Love is found by people who express it.  Love is realized by those who do not worry about the adverse effects of it's loss.  Love is forever; it has a beginning but has no end.  Love never goes away but Love always has room for more.  Love is never replaced; only more is created.  Love is entirely, all encompassing without exception.  Love is the greatest adventure and I for one can't wait to have it.

I am not sure if I will ever have the opertunity for Love again but I am glad to have found out what it was like, even if it was only for a short time.  Hold onto Love and do not squander it; if you never listen to anything I ever say again or you never learn anything from me, remember that Love is all you need even if everything in the world has taught you otherwise.  They are wrong; completely wrong.

And here is "Love" from the 'Wild Hearts Collection' in HD - I hope you enjoy it and I hope you take my words and hold them close to your Wild Heart...

I miss you all.  (especially you...)

"Love"

"Guarentee" (#11 in the Wild Hearts Collection)

"I guarantee that I will never give up and I guarantee that I will always be your friend."  -me

I didn't feel like writing anything today...it's just one of those days I suppose.  Have a happy and safe 4th of July everyone.

Here is "Guarantee" from the 'Wild Hearts Collection' in HD...I hope you enjoy it.

thanx,
-me

"Guarantee"

"Health" (#10 in the Wild Hearts Collection)

The only thing I can say is that it IS healthy to love; it's NEVER bad for you to love anything.  Sure, sometimes there are those times when your heart hurts because you (believe) you loved too much but let me say this to make things perfectly clear...you can never love too much.  All of those Wild Hearts out there know this all too well.  You can't know what love really is unless you have experienced a little pain from it...otherwise, how could you ever value it the way it was intended?

Health is important to a Wild Heart and to truly be healthy, you need to flex that heart once in a while, even if you know there might end up being some pain involved...a little pain once in a while is a small price to pay to find real love.  Hell, if someone told me I could find the real stuff but I'd end going through excruciating pain, I'd sign up for that in a minute.

So anyway, here is "Health" from the 'Wild Hearts Collection' in HD.

I hope you all enjoy it very much.

I love you and miss you all very much (especially you...yes you...you crazy chick).

"Proven" (#9 in the Wild Hearts Collection)

Someone who possesses a Wild Heart has in many ways shown day in and day out why that passion continues to exist through times of joy and times of pain as well.  It is because no matter what they have a strong sense of who they are and what they want out of life, eve if sometimes they can be spontaneous and unpredictable.  It's because they have, on so many occasions, Proven themselves to be the type to rise above the normal drama and the all to common games people play.  When your Wild Heart shows you how life should be, you don't listen to anything except for it.  Don't let your mind sway your emotions; let your emotions guide your life...that's when the adventure begins.  Even if you've been on the roller-coaster before, you still get butterflies when you climb the hill-and if you decide not to ride because of a little fear, you're losing out on an incredible ride.

Here is "Proven" from the 'Wild Heart's Collection' re-release in HD

Thanx, I miss you all...(especially you...no, not you...I hate you...and I hope you hate me too, just a little)

"Proven"

"Discovery" (#8 in the Wild Hearts Collection)

One of the truly amazing things in the entire world is finding something that you thought could never exist.  The first time you realize something; the first time you lay your eyes on it...your heat wants to fly right out of your chest...that's "Discovery".

Your Wild Heart loves to discover new and exciting things because deep down inside you know it could be just the beginning of something even more incredible.  I for one am always hoping it's more incredible than the last and for you, I hope it's everything you were looking for and more.  I also know that it takes a Wild Heart to continue to search for that next great Discovery - that's one of those things that keep the fire inside burning hot; never let go of that feeling and never try and suppress it, even if it turns out a bit wrong that one time doesn't mean it will be that way all of the time.  Sometimes, a Discovery is simply finding a trinket you lost that's not such a big deal; sometimes it's finding something you lost for a reason and you don't want it back.  But sometimes...only sometimes - it's something wonderfully unexpected.  Whichever way it turns out, it's not all the Discovery...it's the adventure you're on while you find it.

...And now, here is the 7th in the 'Wild Hearts Collection' in HD; "Discovery"

Thank you all so very much...I can't wait to find out what I'll discover next...

"Discovery"

"Results" (#7 in the Wild Hearts Collection)

Well, blogger is being a pain...
****edit JM****
****I wrote a bunch of stuff on the fly for this one instead of pre-writing it in MSWord like I usually do and blogger lost it all and I got aggravated and didn't want to rewrite it.  I promise to put it up one of theses days soon-just thought I'd explain.****

Here is "Results" from the 'Wild Hearts Collection' HD re-release

I miss you very much...believe it.
-me

"Results"

"Free" (#6 in the Wild Hearts Collection)

I will leave this one short and sweet...

A Wild Heart has to be free; free to lead it wherever it may.  There aren't many things that can tie it down...and there's no other way I'd rather have it.

So Here is "Free" from the 'Wild Hearts Collection' in HD...hope you enjoy it-

See you tomorrow for the number 7 in the series; I miss you all so much...(especially you)
-me

"Free"

"Easy" (#5 in the Wild Hearts Collection)

Often times people ask me about love; as if I'm an expert or something but I'm not.  I haven't had a lot of luck finding someone who wants to stick around for the right reasons but I do feel lucky to have had the love I've gotten from everyone who decided I was worth it...even if it was only for a short time.  I tell people all of the time about how relationships aren't easy and they aren't; you have to work at it.  What is Easy is love.  No matter if it's with someone two feet away or so far it seems like you might never see them again.

I heard someone say something once and it was so perfect...they said; "I don't know why people make such a big deal about going out of their way to make a long distance call, it's not like you had to walk all the way there or anything."

Distance is only an obstacle if you make it one; anything can be an obstacle if you make it one.

It's easy to love...people out there just find it difficult because they are constantly coming up with reasons why they shouldn't or why it won't work.  Well maybe I haven't had much luck in finding someone and maybe I haven't had many chances to show the right person how I really do believe love should be and maybe to the rest of the world I just look like a lost cause for a thousand and one different reasons but this hopeless romantic will continue to be the way he has always been because I know it's not Easy.  I also know that when a little love finally finds me, that will be the easiest thing that ever happens because you shouldn't have to work at love-just everything else.

And now, here is "Easy" from the 'Wild Hearts Collection' in HD.  I hope you enjoy it.

I love you all, thank you.

"Easy"

"New" (#4 in the Wild Hearts Collection)

I am releasing 3 different pieces of artwork today since we didn't have a release yesterday so, keep checking back-hope you enjoy them...

There's something amazing about stumbling upon something or someone that you have never encountered before and there's something even more amazing about seeing someone you know you make a connection with for the first time.  When something is New, it seems like you can never get enough.  I know so many of you that have these 'Wild Hearts' out there and you are the ones who have the ability to make everyday an exciting New one.  It truly amazes me to know that even after not being around after so much time passed by, you can pick things up like it was brand new and exciting again.  You know you have something special when you see someone with that love to attack life in that way-when you find someone like that, I would suggest you hold on for dear life and never let go.

And now, from the 2008 'Wild Hearts Collection' - here is the HD version of "New".

I love you and miss you all.

"New"

"Save" (#3 in the Wild Hearts Collection)

To me, you can clearly look at the entire 'Wild Hearts Collection' without any of the artwork and it sounds like an advertising campaign, seemingly with no thought in it at all.  The titles, when put together, sound almost cold and distant as if someone just plucked the words right out of the dictionary they belong in.  But then, something wonderful happens (at least I think it does) when you start to see a glimpse of the artwork under the words; they mean so much more together.

For example, let's take today's piece: "Save" - the word itself almost makes me want to go clip out a coupon but then, with that Wild Heart under the word...it no longer seems as if it could be a bargain.  Now "Save" becomes something else entirely; it becomes a last chance at love or the opportunity to salvage what little love may be left...you show the world that it's never too late and to me, that's a huge thing to be able to say something like that with one little word that's seems better suited in a market of some kind.  That's the power of the heart...it makes you want to see the love wherever it may be.  So today, please enjoy this piece and "Save" a little love for someone that deserves it.

-I love you and miss you all-
-me

"Save"

"Money" (#2 in the Wild Hearts Collection)

...And now for day number 2 of 13 for my re-release of the Wild Hearts Collection in HD.

Although I had done these a couple years ago, they are not only meant to stand on their own but fit in with the entire collection.  I'm definitely not the type of person who is all about money or wealth; in fact, I would probably give up everything I had; all of my possessions to have someone with one of those Wild Hearts I talk about right by my side...   I just hope you like it-there are many more to come-here's "Money" in HD.

"Money"

"You" (#1 in the Wild Hearts Collection) & Re-Release in HD

Today is a special day; it's Thursday and I had a wonderful day yesterday talking to a wonderful person.  I just figured this release would be perfect for now, seeing as though I am about a week away from finishing off the last five pieces of the 'INCIRCLES Series' and you haven't had anything new to look at in about 2 weeks...so I think it's time you have gotten something cool.


-and for U, thanx...I can't tell you how great it was to talk to you.


In 2008 I designed a collection of artwork that was very popular; it was done and released at a very low resolution but today -and for the next 12 days, I have something very special for you...


For the first time in Full High Definition you will be able to download the Wild Hearts Collection to your computer for your desktop wallpapers and such.  I took the original 'RAW' files from my servers to bring them up to par so you can see every little detail that I intended to portray.  It took about 160+ hours to complete and in some cases, redraw missing bits so you may be able to enjoy them.


Below is the original release and introduction to explain why these drawings and design elements even exist.  After the original release, you will find the first piece titled "YOU"  -thank you all, I love every one of your Wild Hearts.

“Wild Hearts Collection” (An Introduction)

There may be nothing more powerful in this world than “Wild Hearts” and well, I know plenty of them.  They give me reason enough to believe and continue on, even if I am not so sure that I can continue with that heart on my sleeve always weighing me down…but you tell me “Don’t think so much…” and “Just let things happen as they may…” and so forth; and I trust you-I believe and I continue on.

In the 1970's, Duke University's Psychology Department compiled this data after long-term experiments in Neuro-linguistic programming. These words have been proven to evoke emotion in a listener or reader. The words are, in no particular order deemed “The Twelve Most Powerful Words”:

“You”

“Money”

“Save”

“New”
“Free”

“Easy”
“Results”

“Discovery”

“Proven”

“Health”

“Guarantee”

“Love”

The theory runs along the lines of weaving as many of the words into your vocabulary as often as possible. Apparently, this was not lost on the major advertising agencies across the world, as we notice all 12 words appearing together in all types of media and advertising.

I think it is only fitting that the words above should serve as titles for my new “Wild Hearts Collection” of designs…except-I have thirteen designs total and there are only twelve most powerful words…where could I ever find a title to the last of my designs?

This is where…

When James Joyce was asked what the most beautiful word in the English language was, he answered that it was "Yes" -perfect.  And that-that will become the final title I need in the collection.

I thank you all for loving me and believing in me and enjoying my designs; I only do them because you inspire me to-

I truly love you all and I hope you will continue to enjoy everything about the life we all live all year long-

-I miss you all so much…especially you-
