The artists of old with thought and a sense of their surroundings made themselves just what I aspire to be. Wise and prolific with true insight and a way to express it. We just need that special tool that allows us the privilege of sharing the truth with others. To be able to share a thought threw a story, song or poem is such a feeling of pleasure.

We write not to please ourselves, we write to inspire or bring the readers into a place inside themselves that gives emotions and feelings direction created by the writer. Hopefully the writer will direct you down a very inspiring path you may wish to use in life or give you thought to look around yourself to see for yourself if that is your predicament either way the writer's job is to entertain you and make you want more…

We have to realize that the world does go on after the creation of a book or painting or any work of art, it is the artist's job if still alive, to continue the epic adventure that has been ignited by that artist's hands.

Here is another great Organization that can help with the art in all of us... I just love the world of art and I am sure you do too.

Again I am proud and just mistified that there are so many great and unknown artists in the world along with directories that have all of the artists that are available to different groups and geographic areas in this world of ours but again I got a request to add another Arts Directory and I can't stand to leave these wonders off of my site. Now they are located at ArtsResources.net The LIYF Network welcomes the Art Directory to our family. Welcome... Make sure you check them out. On the menu side of the site I am going to call this Art DIrectory, "Art Resources" as we already have one Art Directory on the menu and I don't want to confuse you..

Welcome to the Minima Photography website. I am a fine art photographer and artist based in Honolulu, Hawaii. Here you will find galleries of my black and white as well as color photographs, links to my shops, contact page and links to other art and photography websites and resources for emerging artists and photographers.

Minima Photography grew out of my passion for minimalist art and simplistic images. My philosophy in art is to incorporate essential elements to create simple but powerful meanings. In a world of constant chaos, images of the details and small occurrences of life are a welcome change. They give us the power to view the world from a completely different perspective. My photography tends to lean toward objectivity, using architecture, nature and details to express my wonder at the abundance of beauty around us.

Please feel free to contact me with questions about purchases, comments on the website or my work, or for commissions of artwork.

While visiting the Florida Library at the Gray Building in Tallahassee's greater downtown musieum I happened across an incredible artist that has lived among the semenole Indians and has painted many incredible paintings loved and chareshed by the tribes that he lived with. I enjoyed much of the art hanging on the main floor of the lobby. The artist's name is Guy La'Breeand his website happens to be www.guylabree.com if you would like to view. I sure hope you enjoy the art from Mr. LaBree

Just think of all the people out there that write or paint or sculpt the most incredible masterpiece ever and not have a clue how to post it on the Internet for all to see. The only folks that have a chance to see your art is to visit you and accidentally see it or maybe you belong to a guild in which a good percent of people get to view your masterpieces but to have a place built just for you to show it to the world then you have the LIYF Network or La Roo's site for the starving artists. I already pay for everything here so as long as that is done and I have the expertise to build websites then why not use this great service. I don't want a thing and I will even give you a page of your own with a web site address along with a email address that you can give to your friends and interested buyers of your art.

Just remember that I want nothing more than a thank you but not even that is optional. I will never turn down a gift but I love art in all its many forms and just to see it grow into my site that allows me to see or read it all is fine for me. USE ME PLEASE...

If you are interested in being part of the Liyf NetworkLIYF Network just click on the link you just passed and send me your email address if you have a site and if you don't and want my services send the same email with whatever you want your site name, your words of introduction and your art as attachments and I will post it all on your own page and send you the address and add it to the front page and give you a little lift as I do with all new sites added to the Liyf Network.

Thanks for joining the LIYF Network

Welcome ArtDesy

I just do this for everyone that asks to be linked to us and is also a new part of our family. This is a home for starving artists and all of you are wecome. Thank you for joining our little family here at LIYF Net. May we bring you many visitors from this point on. Now everyone here has to at least take a look over that ArtDesy.Com just follow that link on the left hand side...

My job is a job that is a very strange flight into obscurity where folks I find want their art shown but ignore a free home to show off his or here goods at. I search high and low to find good and bad or indifferent artists of all kinds but I can't even get an email address to show their wears off from so on and on I will continue my quest.

You have to give me a break for I loose faith from time to time but have decided to post every Sunday from now on.

Happy New Year every one and welcome to the home for starving artists. Yes, this is LIYF.NET and most of my posting will be done on my blog or LaRoo.US mainly because it is my section of the LIYF Network. So, come back every Sunday and you will get your new posts…

Thanks and see you weekly

Peace and out of here, LaRoo…

There are three of us so far writing and I do art from time to time along with searching google and sometimes people will show me art to look at and I post them on my site and link thier site and use their bleed ins to show the stuff to you. I saw this guy that did chalk art and he did it so well I had to post it under the art and photo link on the site and now it is in the archives but all archives of each page will be at the top under La Roo or who ever the site is done for.

Oh you of little faith think this site will be just like the rest. Grantid I am not the best site to read and I don't past enough but that is why I need you. If you would just coment on my words to provoke or to insight you. Just a eat bleeep response would be fun for me. Web sites are just so hard to write when there is no one helping or adding their own 2 cents into it. I grow tired of posting and posting and posting but thinking this stuff up just isn't the easiest stuff in the world. I know you all sit out there in your underware reading websites and say. God I have read this one before. No joke because you don't put anything into it. I always enjoy seeing my writing posted in other people's sites but I haven't seen that.

So this is what I have decided to do, post when I have time and I guess you will all say that is what I have been doing and you would be wright. Nothing will change until the world wants to read this and then you all will want in on it but guess what??? That is when I want you... I love you all now and then, I want the world to share and that is what we will do till the end. I don't want a penny from anyone. I want to pay for it I want you all to be happy. I want all of you to have your own email address and I can make any address you like "(your_name@liyf.net)" just ask. To ask for an email address write a note with your "username" that you wish and your password and we will get you going.. Get one for your mother too. they are free too but only 2 per member.

Members need do nothing except send a note and ask to be a member by presenting artwork or the written word to this email address. Click here for membership. Attach your artwork and we will vote and post and add your name to member roster. All email sent about your art will be forwarded to your email address. You automatically get a email address when you become a member by posting art.

We love your work so send it over and see what you think yourself. All new art will be posted above the prior art until newer art is presented and agreed to be posted. Once page is too full we move it back one and add it to the archives so visit our archives as often as possible. You wont regret it because it has all kinds of great stuff. Right now this is the opening page to LIYF NETWORK but this is actually La Roo's website for his writings and art and one day soon we will be moving this page to LIYF.Net instead of laroo.us so keep an eye open because we will let you know what is going on. Thanks
