Pirate Ship
God’s Law For A.I.
God’s law For A.I. 5th August 2023
Framed 1065.5 cms x 1065.5 cms . Acrylic on board.
This Conceptual work has a strong and powerful presence. This work has been painted from an image that was a text to image application executed by artificial intelligence means. The titling text questioned the A.I application as to what is God’s law for A.I? and it was this image of many many images and variations that I felt depicted its own power and interpretation well. The clash between religious and moral societal and cultural customs is quite different (and human) compared with the sterile universe of computers, artificial intelligence, robots and such. Now A.I. is vastly different and a different world away from religious theosophy. It was enquiring minds around the 19th century that Philosophy started to give rise to physics and science.
We can therefore see just how far we are removed from that past now.
Vincent

Octonurse
Octonurse is another hospital drawing. Talking to nurses its easy to confirm what is seen- under-staffing, shared equipment, and dealing with over tiredness and a lingered result of the covid stress times. There are also reduced intakes at uni for the nurse and even doctor courses. Dedication is key to being in the medical profession and toiling hard is par for the course and the work.
Octonurse is modelled from one such nurse of many others there, who I saw every day while I was in the ward in May 2023. Not only patients have many needs, I’m sure looking from the other perspective side its not hard to think the patients are not unlike being like octopuses (octopi?) too! 🙂
The colours in the drawing shown here have certainly been digitally enhanced.

Day In The Life Of
Day In The Life Of 22 July 2023
Here we have 2 very short stories. One is about how song tunes can get stuck in your head, and the other is about how some people say they love your work and they are very impressed until you ask them to really examine the work..The twist is is that when the ‘bluff'(/) is called the actions become almost petty and very different than from the first things that have been said. It does amuse me.

Hospital Drama
Hospital Drama 8 May 2023
This cartoon drawing is about a couple of dramas that went on at the hospital.
Pills get frozen and clothes get stolen. Yes!!! But that’s not everyone and it’s certainly not the usual thing that happens in a hospital…surely. …..(Yikes!???)
Everything turned out well though and it really pays to speak up about things when you can!
I tend to chuckle to myself reading this cartoon.

Untitled 3 May 2023
Ink drawing.
This drawing is one of a series of drawings drawn in my hospital stay in May 2023.
After drawing about the goings on at the hospital the few drawings before this I really needed to draw something pretty. I was going through a really, blood and guts time of it, and took advantage whenever I didn’t have a cannula in my drawing hand when it didn’t hurt. This eased my emotions somewhat.

Experiences At The Hospital
Experiences At The Hospital. 5th May 2023
This work is more or less a conceptual work about the goings in and goings out of the patients in the hospital. Some get to go home, others turn into angels, while others have to face their fears and have to face them. Hospitals are not the nicest of places to visit for time off. Really. :-/ Still, they are places where many and most people do get to go home, all clean and patched up. Ink on A4 acid free card.
In The Hospital Again
In Hospital Again 4 May 2023 was drawn in my hospital stay in May 2023.
A cartoon explaining some of the ins and outs that had been going on at the time, my views and feelings. .
The drawing was coloured by copic inks at a later stage and then presented here, and on my Instagram page- annaborosartist
The Instagram page mostly shows my ongoing work and is up to date. A4 in size.
Pole Dancing Iris
Pole Dancing Iris is an A4 drawing that was done at my stay in a local hospital. I did a series of several drawing in my 3 week there.
Have you ever watched irises in their large pot dancing in the breeze? I have. They sway ever so gently, and like a gentle dance, there time to shine is fleeting. So it’s best to notice.
I find drawing is very good for the soul whenever I am in hospital. For me, arting is my life so my soul must be pretty good these days! 🙂
