Courtland Johnson (VCJ) - Mr. 10 Laws himself (#123)
While many skateboarders have enjoyed the skateboard graphics of VC Johnson over the last 40 years, his other work has largely been tucked away in private reserve, unseen, even by most of his friends and family. This collection of his works in black and white is now offered in gratitude to those who have supported, inspired and, of course, have bought his work, which has afforded him a comfortable life in his hometown of Santa Barbara, California, where he continues to live and work. Still alive and grateful, he thanks you all.“I have not paid much attention to the praise or criticism by the public, about my work over the years, but I am very grateful to the nation which has granted me such freedom of expression and I feel indebted to those who have seen to the matter of securing the right for its citizens, have encouraged it and exampled it in so many beautiful ways. Art is a game worth playing and its effects should be shared. An artists works are not always published, but when they are, they give inspiration to so many who might not otherwise see the originals. I am one such person. I am glad to have enjoyed the works of the masters in their published forms and I feel that I must share some of my work in pen, brush, woodcut and scratchboard at this time. I am not expecting to publish a book of my work any time soon, so I apologize and offer it in this form.” Artworks in black and white have a powerful charm and always will, in spite of the hypnotic effects of more modern media and the sexy sophistication of the digital age. To those artists out there, who question the archaic value of black and white, I say “ Damn the torpedoes of doubt and hold your course.”Special thanks and gratitude for the long term support of George Powell and his skateboard company for publishing and marketing my skateboard art over the last 40 years. It has allowed me to develop other forms of black and white art, payed for needed therapy and other important developments in this “tortured artists” life. http://www.vcjgraphics.com/ Join the newsletter and be part of the East Forest Council Community.

Nicole Sachs - Healing Pain Through The Mind & Soul (#115)
Nicole’s book, The Meaning of Truth and her online course FREEDOM FROM CHRONIC PAIN are guiding hundreds of thousands around the world to lives of complete freedom. Her brand, The Cure for Chronic Pain, includes a Website, YouTube Channel, and Podcast which has over 500k downloads worldwide. Her personal experience as well as work with thousands of people around the world have shaped and evolved Nicole’s theories, which serve to teach those suffering how to heal themselves completely with no medication or surgery. Based originally off the work of Dr. John Sarno (Nicole is a direct disciple), her programs involve using a unique personal narrative called JournalSpeak to rewire neural pathways that cause chronic symptoms, and inform our misguided brains that we don’t need pain syndromes in order to distract us from our repressed trauma and emotions. Once the emotions are given a “steam valve,” the mind/body system is able to find equilibrium, moving from fight or flight to rest and repair, and symptoms dissolve. Her work is powerful and life altering, not only for the cessation of pain, but also for a whole new freedom for living.thecureforchronicpain.com East Forest Ceremony will be livestreamed July 18th 2020 at 8pm EST.
