Cover Artist

James Hurley

Creative Talents - Issue 004 digital art magazine — James is BOLD and direct, this is reflected in his art. He doesn’t let other peoples actions or approaches to life corrupt his mind or attitude. He is his TRUE SELF and has learned to follow his own path brushing himself off and carrying on when he stumbles or has taken a wrong turn, he learns from mistakes or failures. James has turned his negative thoughts about his dreams and ambitions, “its impossible”, into his reality “I’m Possible” this was achieved when he realised he is his most under used and undervalued asset. When asked to describe his work James responded as follows: “I am an Artist. I am a creator. I am a creative entrepreneur. I turn Love, Joy, Passion, challenging emotions into art that makes connections between fantasy and reality to make photo-art that feeds the creative mind and generates happiness at a subconscious level. I LOVE who I am and I POUR this love, my compassion and raw emotions into my photography and Photo-art as a way of sharing my LOVE with you. My sole aim is to leave a lasting impression on people that I meet, that interact with me online or choose to invest in my work, either my artwork or the magazine. In short, if you want artwork that resonates with an emotion you have experienced or that fuels your thoughts then look no further, but remember, emotions should be observed and recognised for what they are they should be learnt from and not drive your choice and decision making.”

Mel Hearts

Creative Talents Magazine - issue 004 — My name is Mel Hearts! I am a creative polymath, and when my birthday comes in February, I will be “The Answer To Everything” years old! (If you get this reference, we can most definitely be friends!) I am an avid reader. I LOVE nature, kindness, and all the beautiful, tiny, miracles abound in the world we live in! I live in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina with my husband, our nine dogs, two very loving turkeys, a flock of generous, egg-giving chickens, and a rescue cat who thinks he is a dog! The turkeys love their hugs. The dogs love everything. The cat loves food. And the chickens, well they just like to escape and wander the neighborhood! I love people and animals alike! I love bringing light to others’ lives, so one of my first jobs was as a Certified Nurse’s Aide, in a nursing home facility. The stories, friends, and lessons I received there have lasted me a lifetime! I ruptured a disc in my spine lifting on a patient there, so then I altered my career plans and became a tattoo artist for about 14 years. Fibromyalgia and shaking hands brought a quiet end to my ability to give meaningful skin art to others so I retired from that, and picked up Photography, which led me right to digital art, NFTs, and all of the amazing people in web3.

Cheetah Cub Coalition

Creative Talents - Issue 004 digital art magazine — This is the beginning of a lovely story, with a serious message! I am sure you will agree that to see a living, breathing creature capable of 0-100 kph in just 3 seconds, is simply amazing. Their ability to sprint at such high speeds, wears them out and when cheetahs don’t have to hunt, they rest. Cheetahs are not predatory towards humans and this has made them vulnerable to human exploitation. The Cheetah is both graceful and delicate. In ancient times when Cheetahs were abundant in numbers, they were kept as pets, used as a status symbol, taken to the battles, used for hunting as well as killed and used for their beautiful fur. The cheetah has lived in association with humans since at least 3000 BCE. They have many unique features, but more about that next time!

Stacey Mayer

Creative Talents Magazine - issue 004 — Stacey Mayer has always directed her creative energy into her art. From early childhood drawings on the walls of her family’s home to eventually using a digitizer tablet and then drawing on a cell phone screen, her stylized drawings are filled with animation and movement. Life-changing events have contributed to her desire to instill energy into her artistic endeavors. Her uniquely recognizable equine and wildlife art express her love of life and sense of joy in our wonderful world. Stacey spent part of her childhood in a foster family, then lost her own parents and two younger siblings in a boating accident at age 16. Through a happy marriage and being blessed with 4 wonderful daughters and a grandson who just turned 7, her artwork imparts a sense of hope, joy, and energy in the face of adversity gathered from the calm between the storms. Before Windows 95 initiated the era of large hard drives and easy online storage, she began learning how to create digital artwork. Seeing a way to share her art with a larger audience, she founded AWhiteHorse.com™ in 1996, the first of her award-winning websites.

Thomas’ World

Creative Talents Magazine - issue 004 — Thomas is an 8 year old boy with autism. He uses art to express himself and to share his stories with the world. Over the last few years, Thomas has had medical procedures and ongoing therapies that required him to be inside every day at times when most children are allowed to roam freely and play, so Thomas has used his artwork as an outlet to show his imagination and flex his creative muscles. Thomas's interests are video games, dinosaurs, and music. These themes are reflected in the pieces that he creates. Each unique character that is featured has a long and detailed story that fits into a larger world where all of the characters interact, form alliances, and sometimes battle each other. Some of the recurring characters in Thomas' World are TON (a giant robot), Metal Knight, Terminator Alligator, DJ BAT (a music playing robot)...and DJ B.a.t.s. who is the arch nemesis of DJ BAT. The World Of Thomas NFT Collection is made up of 20 pieces of original art using different styles in pen, marker, paint, and 3D Pen. 5 copies of each piece are created to form a 100 piece collection on the Polygon blockchain. We hope that this will allow more people in the world to share in the stories that Thomas creates. Many pieces will be given out as gifts to his family, friends, teachers, and therapists in an effort to bring more people into the world of nfts.
