O.k..be kind, this stuff was done when I was about 19..so give me a break if it's not"oohh wah..super cool!" the idear was that the big E was some kind of zombie/maniac..who with a legion of half dead minions would terrorize the world..apearing in random locations..vaporize the locals and zap/teleport off again..
To combat this the world's gov made a special op's team/ unit that sits on orbit in a space ship..ready to fly down at any time to try combat the un-dead evil at any time.....( don't laugh, the U.S is researching this option..not the killing the un dead stuff... the low orbit..militatry base..)

o.k This was my favorite hat..I stupidly gave it to my brother because he was going to denmark...what possible use could I have for it here in sunny Sydney..Now I regret it.. This hat and I travelled to N.Y thru Europe then Italy in their winter..SNOW! what a hoot .. I miss it.. my head misses it..my dress ups miss it..oh well it set the bar very high in head wear for me as I've tried to find a hat to suit me..I've had a fez and a fedora ( felt Indiana style) and a Panama ( compleate with white ice-cream suit) A berret for a while..nome seemed to stick...this however?

A friend of mines younger brother did this for me...What a little devil...In encapsulates everthing that drawing is to me.. wild, free and out right crazy!
I can't pick a favorite feature ...i.e the bits of soot/ash the(perfect ) colour scheme.. or the cries for HELP..( note one of them is written BACKWARDS..is it a da vinchi type code..or is an illustration that the yell is coing from the other-side of the volcano? )
What a monkey! thanks Thomas!

I know that I'm looking for more for my own........

mystery sale

2007-03-04T23:40:00.000-08:00

there's some things for me that are better left unsolved, the mystery sale is one of them.... yoyu might have seen it/ them..ads selling bar fridges or louges ..nothing special eh? but it's the imaginative way that it's advertised..on the back of an old suitcase..a led lepplin cassette( bummer it was empty! ) and the like... now here's the rub I don't know if it's a real sale or if it's some kind of art project..the more rationalist of you out there might say " why not just call the number and find out?" where's the mystery in that? ( could be like the THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS music project.. they left an ad in the village voice and used the confused callers as part of the song.. if you get a chance listen to it ..) I really don't know what to think..but every time I see a particularlly good one ( see example ) I tip my hat smile and say " jolly good show ! "

Oskar Kakoshka

2007-01-23T12:50:00.000-08:00

Some artists know how to create from a succession of scandals; Kokoschka certainly did. Almost from the moment he left art school he assumed center stage in the Viennese avant-garde, enacting its fixations on love and death, abandonment and deviancy. Painting apart, he worked hard to earn his nickname der Tolle ("the crazy man"). George Grosz remembered him at a ball in Berlin, gnawing on the fresh and bloody bone of an ox. He sometimes hid among the waxworks of criminals in the chamber of horrors of the Berlin Panoptikum, and sprang out with a howl to frighten the visitors. These early "happenings" (artist as cannibal, artist as criminal) were subtexts to the main theme of artist as primitive, untram-meled by conventions of any kind. O.K.'s letters were full of nostalgia for the innocence and vitality he felt had been lost to Europe under the crust of bourgeois sublimation. As an Expressionist, he was one of the last children of Rousseau, and he idealized the noble savage within himself.

That this "savage" was the cultural artifact of the middle classes whose values he longed to escape was no mean irony. Kokoschka's shenanigans failed to throw the burghers into the turmoil he hoped for, but they made an indelible impression on his friends, a circle that included the satirist Karl Kraus, the architect Adolf Loos and a galaxy of painters from Gustav Klimt to Vasily Kandinsky. His most eccentric episode was that of the doll. In the spring of 1912 he fell violently in love with Alma Mahler, widow of the composer and a pretentious man-eater. Their affair lasted three years, and she dumped him in favor of the architect Walter Gropius soon after Kokoschka enlisted in the imperial dragoons to fight in World War I. This, combined with the horrors of the trenches and the shock of being shot and bayoneted nearly to death, drove O.K. over the brink. He had a Munich dollmaker construct a soft, life-size red-haired effigy of his former lover, fetishistically complete in every anatomical detail. The doll shared his bed, and during the day he would dress it up and take it out. In Self-Portrait with Doll, iq2o-2i, Kokoschka is seen pointing with a woebegone expression at its sexual parts, presumably to indicate a cooling of the one-sided affair. Eventually, after he and some friends got drunk, he "murdered" the doll and flung it on a garbage truck in Dresden: the dumper dumped.

This bit is taken from Robrt Huges Nothing if not critical , art essays.........the artist Oska Kakoshka one of my favs. the episode with the dolly is worthy of a movie...forget Van Gough or Da Vinchi this is where the real action is...

Janarius

2007-01-07T16:18:00.000-08:00

One of my crazy thoughts trading cards (kind-o-like Pokimon etc ) for martyrs and saints..collect them all..Christian martyr about whom little is known
he was a bishop of Brenevent and was martyred about the year 305..legend relates his index finger was accidently cut off as he was about to be beheaded , however he simply replaced the finger which was instantly healed.
During his execution it is told that his blood was caught and forever preseved.A phail purporting to contain the saints dried blood is preserved in Naples catherdral. A ceremony is preformed in public during which this holy substance can be observed by all true belivers to miraculously to liquefy..
It's fasinating there's so much in our culture still from these guys..for example the Catherine Wheel ( the fire work ) come from Catherine of Alexandria the wheel was the instrument by which she was to be killed apon...

let's keep all the devils together ( that way the zealots can breeze right by with-out feeling too insulted)
Light pecil work..it's a bitch ( sorry ) building up layers gradually and just like watercolours, too dark too soon and ( sorry there matey there's no turning back) you just have to either hang on and see where it takes you or tear it up with some choice swear words and start again..
