Conclusion
Thomas A. Leathan-drum is a multifaceted artist whose work spans both visual arts, story telling and poetry.
Artist: I call myself an artist: (and why not?): like all (most all) children: encouraged by a parent, a sibling, a friend or teacher: to pick up a crayon, a pencil a paint brush. So these are my artistic lines and circles: and yes: the more I look at them, the more I am proud of my abilities: with the pencil, the paintbrush, the crayon.
Writer: It’s said everyone has a novel in them to write. (Although I don’t recall being told that). I call myself a writer, (and why not?) Words can come easy to some and difficult to others. The trick is to put them down on paper (or on a screen ) in an order that others can understand, and then read, altogether having a start, a middle and an end. I am proud of the words I have written - both as poetry and short stories. Yes: the more I read them: I discover they’re just a bunch of words that mean nothing. Yet they are my words.
Collector: I believe from birth we all (well most all) become a collector. I have been a collector (and why not?) We have all collected simple things as children: then throughout our years into adulthood. Some collect for the monetary value: others for the pleasure of owning the rare object. For whatever the reason: owning one, or a complete collection: is the person’s, personal preference.
Photographer: Like everyone (almost everyone) who owns a camera: can call themselves a photographer. I call myself a photographer: (and why not? ) We can all take a picture of a pretty flower, a pretty girl or boy: there is an endless array of objects. So these are my photos. Simple, unusual ,exciting - taken from front, rear, straight, or at irregular angles: some taken close up, some from afar. Yes: the more I look at them, the more I am proud of my ability with my camera.
Curator of intrigue: I am that person (here) that selects content for this website: I am that guardian of this profound knowledge: or am I just aroused with curiosity - even fascinated by evolving circumstances: I call myself an ardent devotee, a fan, even an enthusiast of multiple events & occasions.
SO. You have found yourself clicking on this link “gallery of intrigue”: and asking yourself why that heading ?. Answer is: I needed a folder to contain all the stories / photos / interesting events - past - current and future. Of cause someone has to manage this folder - hence the position “curator” like in a museum. Just to make my position clear: I am not a frantic for news - nor must I know what is happing everywhere: ( at my age ) I rather live in the past. However: one must stay alert …
