<p> The whalers, armed with exploding harpoons and razor sharp flensing knives have waged a bloody cruel war on the world's whales for centuries. Motivated by greed, with hearts hardened by callous infliction of pain and suffering, the merciless remorseless whale killers of Japan, Norway, and the Faroe Islands represent all that is dark within the gritty soul of humanity. To combat this abject cruelty and to fight this despicable crime, we who are warriors for the whales must fight with weapons that both expose the truth and heal the wounds. We do not have the luxury of anger, and the simplicity of violence. Our weapons are of a gentler nature. The most powerful weapon in this compassionate crusade is the passion of the artist. Geert-Jan Vons is such an artist, a whale warrior whose discipline is the Art of Saving Whales. The true artist seeks salvation for that which he holds in rare reverence, and seeks to both honour and to protect, knowing that what is given through his creation is redeemed by the heart. Geert-Jan Vons does not merely paint whales, he artistically and physically defends these gentle giants of the deep and in doing so he bestows both grace and redemption upon all of us who go to sea to defend Leviathan. </p>
