Blissful Creative Sway
My influences on creative bliss comes from many sources as well as individuals.

Louise Bennett-Coverly, O.J., Lady Saw, Mutabaruka, Claude Mckay and other artist of the Harlem Renaissance. Ainsel Adams, Hieronymus Bosch, Fernando Botero, Alexander Calder, Paul Cezanne, Marc Chagall, Salvador Dali, Leonardo Da Vinci, Edgar Degas, Raul Dufy, Francisco deGoya, Paul Gauguin, Toulouse Lautrec, Rene Magritte, Edourd Manet, Henri Matisse, Joan Miro, Calaude Monet, Amedeo Modiglian, Edvard Munch, Pablo Picasso, Georgia Okeeffe, Camille Pissarro, Jackson Pollock, Raphael, Rembrandt, Diego Rivera, Norman Rockwell, Andy Warhol, Kenton Lowe a.k.a. Jamaikie, Diana Dah Min Ng, Ama Hatshepsut SteadySpear, Myself- Ank J.SteadySpear, Mothers…Women of the World, The sadness and happiness of life. The ego of pride, the wealth in my pocket or bank accounts, sadly most of the time the lack of it influence depressions that in turn inspired and influence some of the new creative directions I may take. The world of art education and teaching has a major influence on my aura, having an intellectual conversation without intimidation and fear of reprisal. Lee Morgan, Santana, Jimi Hendrix, James The GodFather of Soul James Brown, Muddy Waters, Bessis Smith, B.B. King… and many more like myself enduring the ranges on personal learning and development of science, technology and humanity.

Mi Poetic Mother
Water running from my eyes
I just learn my Poetic Mother died
Lord why could you not spare a little more time?
Wicked ones them traveling in styles
But you take mi Mada before her time?
I just learn my Poetic Mother died
Lord why could you not spare a little more time?
Wicked ones them traveling in styles
But you take mi Mada before her time?
The happiness she bring cause plenty to sing
Living in Europe doing my thing
Waiting for the day when both of us would sing
Mama I'll continue to teach your styles
Of how Jamaican dialect changing time
Living in Europe doing my thing
Waiting for the day when both of us would sing
Mama I'll continue to teach your styles
Of how Jamaican dialect changing time
I just learn my Poetic Mother has died
I am far away still I must cry
Wicked ones them in fling
Some don't even know bout ring ding
Some of dem a selling reggae like dope
I am far away still I must cry
Wicked ones them in fling
Some don't even know bout ring ding
Some of dem a selling reggae like dope
I have just learned that my Poetic Mother has died
Water running from my eyes no joke, no lie
A lady of refine, her life inspired millions to shine.
Water running from my eyes no joke, no lie
A lady of refine, her life inspired millions to shine.
