Me and Peace

My passion in life has always been world peace. There are many inter-related issues that either contribute or detract from world peace such as politics, religion, sex, and the stew of human relationships.

My politics are progressive, liberal, independent and strongly antiwar. I consider all wars a failure of humanity. My religion is "none" as I believe most of them serve only to divide us from each other with phony issues. I define myself as an Atheist because I don't believe in that blond-haired guy that is supposed to be the overlord of the world, but my spirituality is personal and nature based. I have never felt more whole than in nature and if that is god then so be it, as long as it is not blond and overly caucasian. I believe sex is a private matter between consenting adults and we'd all be better off if certain segments of society kept their prying eyes and noses out of our bedrooms and away from our bodies. And relationships are the engine of the universe. I love exploring all aspects of how they interweave and dance with each other.

My shop is devoted to these interests and if I have a motto it is that the world can be changed one t-shirt at a time if the cause is just. 

I have included modules devoted to Peace that include links to many resources to help those who want to do something to work for peace.

I also have modules with Literature links that deal with the complex issues of war and peace.

Please be sure to check out my news and information links to blogs and other sites that keep us up to date on what is really happening on this poor, abused planet.

And I also have links to my favorite music because I truly believe that if anything can make us one world, it is music. It is a universal language.  

I will be adding to all these modules and other ones, so check back often. And if you like my art, do buy a t-shirt or two with my peace, love, and eco themes.

Peace Designs

Speak up so the warmongers can hear you!

We've become complacent about war, believing the hype that it's necessary, that there's bad people out there, that it's unrealistic to expect a world without war. It's time to say bullshit to that, to say we know the truth and that truth is that war is all about money. It's about enriching the munitions and arms dealers. It's about making evil, twisted hate groups like Blackwater/XE multi-millionaires. It's about giving our tax dollars to war instead of peace, destruction instead of reconstruction. It's about silence when there shouldle be noise. Here are some designs to help you make some noise because any start is a good start if it leads to peace.

Without world peace, our efforts to save the planet are futile

War is the most destructive act of violence committed against our planet and nothing we do will create a better world unless we work for world peace too.

Wearing Your Ethics

Your t-shirt tells more than one story

As a t-shirt designer I've spent most of my career the last few years focusing on the message and not the shirt. This was okay when I designed for limited uses such as Spring Break, Mardi Gras, Halloween or other practically disposable events where the shirt was secondary to the celebration.

But once I began to design shirts that shared my passion for the environment, for social issues, for the equality and dignity of all living beings, then the use became equal with the purpose.

That is why I was so delighted to find Skreened.com for printing and selling my Environment themed shirts. If you read their statement of purpose you will see they care passionately about where their shirts come from, that they're organic, and that they are ethically made and sold. I encourage you to support this business that walks their talk. Here are a few choices for you.


Click on shirt or here to visit store and purchase it. Skreened allows you to choose this design on any of the different color shirts and styles and canvas tote bags as well. Do check out the large selection of offerings in my shop devoted to saving the planet and raising awareness of Environmental issues.

I love chocolate!

A world without chocolate is too sad to contemplate. There's something about that sweet taste melting on your tongue and lifting you from whatever depths you fell.

These are my chocolate designs, my fetish of sweet, brown, creamy delights. I will always have chocolate in my life. We are committed to each other like twin spirits. It feeds me, and I feed on it.

Winter Solstice

Modern Christmas has Pagan DNA

For me the major holiday of the year, the one I look forward to is Winter Solstice. This is the beginning of my year, the day that the light returns and the nights become shorter and the days become longer.

It is a celebration of our connection to Nature and how inseparable we are from her. These designs acknowledge the oneness of our existence.

Peace Resources

List of links devoted to working for peace.

These links are a small beginning on what I envision to be a one-stop resource for those looking for books, articles, groups, organizations, art, music, and people devoted to peacework.
Peace Resource Center
An amazing resource containing documents such as the UN Charter and others, media outlets, and links to places where you can actually do something towards peace.
Wikipedia on Pacifism
This is becoming a great resource for those who want to study in depth the subject, history and practice of Pacifism.
Shalam
Shalam is a nonprofit organization dedicated to building peace between Palestinians and Israelis, Arabs and Jews, throughout the Middle East and globally. Shalam invests in the people's peace process, conducts educational programs, and provides consulting services in order to empower and mobilize people and governments to achieve cooperation, security, and a lasting peace.

What Have You Done For Peace Lately?

The idea of this poll is to give people ideas on how they can work for peace, based on the responses of those who already are.

Do you often feel frustrated in how you can work for peace when so many are working for war? The answers to this poll will give you an idea of how others are working for peace, whether it is with activism in the street, in the theatre, in the art world, in the marketplace, in the news media, in the halls of congress. Pick one or more and let your voice be heard as well. We need to get the chorus growing in order to be heard.

Places on the web to find progressives and other alternative truths.

Whether you want to read, watch, shop, or play, here's some destinations.

Originally I started this link list as a place to list my other shops, but since then it has grown to include not only my art but also that of people I admire, and companies that I truly enjoy being part of because of their innovative spirit, ethical considerations, and respect for us content creators that keep them in business. Those that don't fit in any of these categories, well, people pretty much aren't stupid about stuff like that. Artists talk to each other, shopkeepers and content providers talk to each other. We're a loosely knit family and if you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us. And if you treat us well, we all thrive together. So your purchases help us make a living as artists without sacrificing a whole lot of our integrity in order to do so.
Ursine Logic
This is my main blog and is devoted to topics of peace, love, tolerance, acceptance, nature, liberal politics, leftist politics, proud moonbat philosophy, and other topics that drive the right wingnut fascist bushistas even more insane than they are. They want truth? They can't handle truth! They want kool-aid, more kool-aid than they can shake an ugly stick at instead. Given that inflexibility, I consider it my job to challenge them every chance I get. It's my duty as a true patriot. I also write about life, love, and my individual pursuit of happiness. I aim to catch a good part of that sucker before I move on.

LIttle Shops of Dreams
Holiday shopping site that features some of my designs and shops and also the work of other artists I'm promoting. This year, think seriously about supporting independent shopkeepers and artists instead of buying mass produced corporate sameness.
Raw Story
A great source for breaking and current new stories the mainstream media would prefer never see the light of day.
The Daily Kos
One of my favorite progressive community sites on the web. News stories are presented by many different people and often include obscure (on purpose) information dragged into the light of accountability by diligent and creative diarists. Tune in here for information and resources to help your favorite anti-war candidate take on the republican-lites currently infesting the so-called Democratic party. Change begins with small change donated where it can do the most good.
Crooks and Liars
I love this site because it provides instant accountability to those who claim they were misquoted when the polls show their spewing did not have the desired effect on their demographic sheep. Nothing like video to show up the liars for what they really are.
Peace Shirts
Do your part for world peace by being a voice for peace with one of these great designs from my Zazzle Peace Shirts store.
Black and White Words Funny T-shirts and Gifts
Funny shirts with words, sayings, humorous quotes for students, party animals, outlaws, rebels and those who appreciate a good laugh on a t-shirt and other gifts. All t-shirts and swag are offered with only words and no pictures because sometimes in life, just a plain black and white statement is all that's required.
Child-Free By Choice
Child-Free By Choice is a shop for those who have decided not to have children. For many this is a highly personal choice based on several factors such as not wanting to put more stress on the planet's precious and limited resources, realizing that not everyone is suited for parenthood, wanting to leave a legacy that is centered around work and art instead of breeding ability, and a preference for living around adults and the lifestyle that allows.
Ursine Logic Swag

Ursine Logic's Environment Store - Skreened - Ethical Custom Apparel
For those who care about our planet, Ursine Logic offers designs to raise awareness of issues such as Global Warming, Climate Change, Overpopulation, and living green.
Pebbles of Forgiveness
This is a site I made at the suggestion of a friend who told me that the reason religion is so popular is because it provides a means of getting forgiven for the bad and stupid things humans do. So I made a site that is one better than having to be humiliated by religion AND pay for the privilege. I skip the humiliation and just provide a space for people to buy their way to forgiveness.
Halloween Store
So many people think of Halloween and the symbols associated with it as part of only one day. Take a look at some of the items in this store that consist of skeletons, skulls, demented zombie creatures and other lovely undead and dark critters. You will see there is more to these symbols than the superficial layer of Halloween.

I originally created this store for myself because I wanted one place to go buy cool stuff for my friends and family. I wish I had the time to surf the internet for endless hours looking for the perfect gift, but hey I'm too busy making new designs. Seriously, this store is a real timesaver. You can buy things for every holiday and items that are in the Valentine section also make great anniversary and birthday gifts.

And I am always happy to create a design for you based on your own ideas, photographs, and favorite phrases and sayings.
Da Free Jeff's Irreverence Shop
There's some strange, sweet, charming, and just downright odd about this shop that I enjoy. Maybe because it's the world as seen through the eyes of someone who's lived on the planet for a while. Check it out. There's some unique sayings here.
Wild World Shirts
If you're looking for the kind of humor that is best appreciated by the wild, crazy, freethinking rebel and outlaw at heart, here's your store. Nice selection of anti-religious dogma stuff.
My photography
I love teaching myself how to take better photographs. I live in one of the most photogenic places on the planet so it's hard to take a bad photo. Please do enjoy some of my favorites.
My Friend's Photo site
If you really want to see some amazing photographs of birds, here's one to check out. My friend is the kind of photographer who camps out in trees and gullies in order to get the shot he wants. Here are some of his rewards.

The Waifs

When I went to Australia I was introduced to a musical group called "The Waifs." I now have most of their cd's and everyone who hears them falls in love with their unique sound and great musicianship.

What I love about "The Waifs" is not just their amazing voices and musicianship, but the poetry of their songs. They are able to capture the emotional impact of everything from love gone right and then bad, all the way to cross-dressing childhood friends showing up in a bar one night, without making it sound contrived or phony. There is sincerity, humor, passion, despair and the simple strength of recovering from life's wounds that heals me and will heal others as well.

Ursine Logic's Peace, Pets, Pagans, and Politics, and CHOCOLATE

Tired of the politics of mean? Let Ursine Logic give you some love to wear.

My designs are inspired by events in the news, people I know, and sometimes by elaborate conversations that take place in my head with the creativity voices. They generally take the side of the underdog, the disenfranchised, the discriminated against, and the meek voices for peace that need an extra boost to be heard. I believe the world can be changed one t-shirt at a time if the message is a good one that includes all of humanity, and not just the select, elitish few.

In my shop you will find designs that are based on love, peace, liberal and progressive politics, the environment--especially global warming, the special furry companions we are privileged to share our space on the planet with, and art based on my photography.

I also have a links page that describes shops I feel represent specific groups. I may or may not agree with the designs or the shopkeepers, but I am committed to walking my talk and so I include them just in case some conservatives, christians, and the occasional republican stumble upon it by accident. I don't want them to feel left out as that would go against my belief that the world is big enough for all of us.

What you will not find are designs that are hateful, mean, cruel or pro-war. Unless they are about politicians and then the gloves come off because "we the people" need to mock and scold and scream at them so they remember who they really represent.

Political Shirts and Collectible Classics

The Bush regime is out of the White House and we can all breathe a sigh of relief.

But just because they're gone doesn't mean the crap they left behind is finished. They left two wars, a devastated economy, a shattered reputation, and a legacy even the most horrific of past despots would shudder if it was attached to them. Now is not the time to sit back and relax. Stay out there and make your voice heard because bastards like Bush/Cheney never sleep. They just wait for you to close your eyes so they can steal and destroy some more.
