I do lots of website proofreading and editing. It’s calming. Like shampooing… wash, rinse, repeat. The shampoo directions don’t say “wash, rinse, repeat once”. No, it says, “wash, rinse, repeat”. It takes a whole bottle to get my head clean. If this website had another name, it’d be Calm Olive Branch Shampoo.

” A breath of fresh air”
I built Ed’s Art Net for my family and me. Daddy, pop-pop’s wacky old art asylum. A calming refuge in my stormy world. A web “book” the grandkids might like to read when they’re old enough.
I don’t expect to be finished with this website until I pass. You might want to wait until then to visit… 😬 (for the best I could do).
Organic intelligence (OI)
So far, nothing in Ed’s Art Net is designed using artificial intelligence. Just my God given talent. I’ve been using computers since 1986.
Computers are still not smart.
People are smart. People are empathetic. People can know what you meant. Computers can’t feel your joy or sense your pain. We can love computers, but they are not our “buddy”, they’re an occasionally annoying service tool that can help us with many mundane tasks.
May 18, 2026 – I’ve started searching AI’s response to some of my website statements out of “what’s behind the curtain” curiosity. Thus far, it’s been cautiously reassuring.
I’ve been editing my website for a long time
online since September 2007
…but not the same
I started out not knowing what I was doing. I just had a keen desire to show my artwork. Development of purpose has been a lengthy learning process. It’s been a challenging and soothing method of helping me deal with my bipolar brain in an affirmative manner. God deserves the love and credit for this site’s amazingly good message!
For me, Ed’s Art Net’s and my brain’s evolution has been like cleaning up a mess in the yard during a storm.
Effort became easier after I retired in 2020, entering a major paradigm shift when I discovered how to build text hyperlinks.
In website informational conclusion…
I’ve been told my website gives folks pause to think.
Thinking can lead to understanding. My prayer is for heaven on earth. Praying for help can achieve the impossible. 😇
This website would be a fun way to “speak” to my kids kid’s kids that I likely won’t see in this lifetime. ❤️
”It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.” Walt Disney (speaking to his employees)
I’ve also been told my website sounds a lot like preaching. I’m not a preacher. I’m a bipolar commonologist, husband, father, and pop-pop who sounds a lot like a preacher on his website… it is what it is. 😬
This web place isn’t without cyber criminal safeguards, but while I do expect the world to end someday, I don’t expect it to end just because Ed’s Art Net goes offline. 😜
Thanks for spending time with me
