Everyone is an artist, if they can express themselves; because expression is art. There is an art even to the most scientific or natural of pursuits or practices. In other languages, indeed even in the history of our own language, the words for science, skill, technique, magic, and art can overlap in usage.

Life has value beyond the prices of our products, commercial branding, or pay grades. Not only do humans deserve better, but our ecological environment needs to be valued more for living as well. We can make our World a better place.

Walton was named after his father, but uses the nickname 'Drogo' to represent his own self-creation in life. Both of his parents also used nicknames. His father 'Kip' (legal name Walton) was an artistic architect who specialized in historic and modern designs. His mother 'Nena' (legal name Evalina) was an art teacher, Montessori teacher, and artist. They insisted that working for the government and getting a university degree for a high paying job was the way to go, so Walton obeyed, despite being already long sick of conventional school and traditional trappings, even out of high school. He fought for honors, and graduated with them.

During summers Walton worked for HABS/HAER and the NPS to document historic structures around the USA. He atteneded RWU and SCAD to get a Masters Degree in Architecture. His education taught him that crony capitalism was killing the planet for profit, so he continued his thesis work called 'SCOD' as a non-profit experiment which questioned definitions of 'success' and 'value' in modern civilization.

As 'Drogo' and other pen names he expressed himself and published political protests while serving in the military, and still try to work in normal society with his legal name. Public apathy and establishment propaganda made it almost impossible to make a living (monetary profit) while striving for environmental and humanist ethics within the system for him. So after 2020 Walton stopped trying to sell himself and his work as commercial products, and focused on sharing with friends and family who loved him enough to support him. He believes his work should convince anyone by speaking for itself, that grassroots sharing works better to sustain a system than branding to profit at the expense of others.

Cooperating by democratic negotiations and compassionate communications is more sustainable than competing ruthlessly for the basics in life. Greed and jealously are less important when we feel satisfied deeply and substantially, more and more.
