the mind electric

There has been a very odd rash of people on the news having seemingly random meltdowns and this leading to speaking gibberish on the news live. There is speculation, now that it may be due to microwave radiation/ gov. test etc. I have no idea what it is..I do know as a fact that there are weapons out there thet can actually send voices/ sounds into your head via a laser. wait a minute! that sounds crazy! conspiracy level crazy, well simmer down charlie, uncle alex will explain this...I actually once found a website that had the patent on this--and no I dont hear any voices in my head, aside from my superego...my id and my ego dont talk, they just do...

"An academic paper written for the Air Force in the mid-1990s mentions the idea of a weapon that would use sound waves to send words into a person's head. "The signal can be a 'message from God' that can warn the enemy of impending doom, or encourage the enemy to surrender." In 2002, the Air Force Research Laboratory patented precisely such a technology: using microwaves to send words into someone's head. The patent was based on human experimentation in October 1994 at the Air Force lab, where scientists were able to transmit phrases into the heads of human subjects."

Fast Times At Renaissance High: by gardega

Okay, dude..Here is, like some gnarly lessons about the Renaissance..Totally Rad! Okay, so there was the dude name Lorenzo Medici, from Florence, he took over after his daddy, Cosimo kicked the bucket. Lorenzo was like a radical forward thinking dude and he was like, yo, Dude! We need some new art, All this hyper religious stuff is getting stale. I need to find me some radical new young blood, pronto. So he found this guy, Botticelli, the uberist envelope pushing, pagan, modernist genius..one of like the greatest minds of all time! Now Botticelli and Lorenzo became like really tight Bro's, like surfer buddies. At this time there was like a total change going on in Florence, people were becoming a lot like people in the 1980's---minus the sushi..They were getting all materialistic and greedy and jeweled up and pagan and stuff...This eventually led to the event known as "The bonfire fire of the vanities" This is not the tom wolfe novel, this really happened back then, they burned all the jewlery, the bad books..this happened because some monk friar dude named Savonarola got mad at Lorenzo for being so pagan and gnarly. Lorenzo was so rad, he started the first art school! Yes, and he even gave the 13 year old Michelangelo, like a place to live in the palace..dude!

thats enough for today..more tomorrow, surfs up!

art favors

As an artist you are often asked by friends etc. for favors...You soon learn that art favors often turn into major headaches and sometimes more problems than what you agreed to. If I like someone I will randomly send them free art, give them a painting etc. I f I like a person I will do most anything they need if I feel they would do the same for me. A friend recently asked me to paint a sign for him, I am normally way past doing jobs like that but he is a great friend and we have a good biz relationship. . I woke up this morning and banged out ( 6 hours) a sign for my buddy. I did NOT charge him. I wouldnt have taken the job on for pay as it "isnt my thing. " It wasnt easy work to do and I had to do it in my apt and it is 5 foot long etc. Hand lettering is hell, especially in a rush and not my specialty. I hate lettering...but in my view--- anything for a friend.Even if you are "banging something out" (as I call it)  you want to do a professional job--- I bought an expensive canvas (not a cheap floppy one) and tried to make the thing a nice piece given the time and constraints etc. You need to take all your work seriously, even the gifts.

My ex girfriend monika posing with the New statue. (She was the sweetest thing that the summer breeze had ever blown my way) but now we are just friends. I believe in keeping friendships with my exes because you always need models in a pinch!
