Aurel Schmidt
This might be the strongest show I've seen in Chinatown for quite a while. Arcimboldo meets Peres Projects...so a little bit Heavy Metal..but still seems better than most of the ultra-laborious drawing art that's flooded the scene lately.
J. Krishnamurti
"Obviously what causes war is the desire for power, position, prestige, money; also the disease called nationalism, the worship of a flag; and the disease of organized religion, the worship of a dogma. All these are the causes of war; if you as an individual belong to any of the organized religions, if you are greedy for power, if you are envious, you are bound to produce a society which will result in destruction. So again it depends upon you and not on the leaders – not on so-called statesmen and all the rest of them. It depends upon you and me but we do not seem to realize that. If once we really felt the responsibility of our own actions, how quickly we could bring to an end all these wars, this appalling misery! But you see, we are indifferent. We have three meals a day, we have our jobs, we have our bank account, big or little, and we say, 'For God’s sake, don’t disturb us, leave us alone'."
Surprising Progress
..but still very rough and a long way from done.
But the colors are looking good.
I'm not sure what those ghost orbs are...
Balance
In the fear that this blog may have become overwhelmingly dark and opressive as of late...I decided that I needed to balance things out. I think I'm fascinated with mortality and death because it reminds me of the lightness of being. The two concepts are metaphysically contingent on each other. The Apocalypse becomes a cartoon if one isn't careful.
