Acorns are a wonderful goddess symbol. Several years ago I cast a few in hopes of using them to finish off knives etc. I used the actual acorns instead of making a model out of wax. Lost Wax Casting is misleading as other substances can substitute in place of a wax model. One of these days I might set up my centrifuge and burn out oven and do some more. Warmest wishes to everyone who follows my blog. I am so blessed to be able to do this work!
I extracted one of my teeth this week. It was on a Friday night when I became aware of the pain. My insurance was not gonna help me for at least 7 days by my calculations at the time. What would Patriot Nurse do? She has a great website on all these subjects. She has guts. That is what I needed. What would she do?. I think she would have done what I did. I pulled my own tooth. I was lookin for holes in my preps....this came up at an inopportune time. What would Patriot Nurse do???....She would pull her own tooth....No disclaimer. She would never tell me to pull my own tooth. Still though, she would totally support me in going through this in order to find the holes in my preps....right. I think she is just tellin me that I am on my own....consistent with her message. I doubt whether she would back me up on extracting my own tooth. No one would do that. I was prepping, and openly trying to find the holes in my preps. So then, all the sudden I had a dental emergency. It can be done. I don't recommend it. I had no time to consult Patriot Nurse or dentist. That is what it is gonna be like right?. I think she would back me up on my instincts and forgive me for not prepping in advance for this type of affliction. Watch Patriot Nurse. She is true. I regret I did not get to speak with her before pulling my own tooth....but I regret so many things....so there is that.
I have a neighbor named Joel who owns a hearse, I have watched him restore it. It occurs to me that I need a tune up, brakes and such. Anyway, What a great car, and what a great man...and his wife. They are my neighbors. Joel is also a musician, at one time a band director. I asked him to do a tune up on my truck in exchange for a painting I did of his house. He is doing that tonight, and I get to have his hearse out in front of my house. It reminds me of Mark Milligan and Kathy Littlejohn. Can you imagine? This hearse weighs 6000 pounds! It was not for transporting the body, but the family to the funeral, back in the day. Kinda reminds me of the J. F. Kennedy car...What great neighbors I have. It reminds me of a song I learned when I was just a sprout.

Some of us still have a lot of heart in us. We know what you are up to you globalist elitists, you Agenda 21 people....we are comin for you....when we catch our breath. If you really believe in agenda 21, then, you go first! We will never bow down to your New World Order....your Georgia Guide Stones.
I may have not been able to make it down to Texas this time to rescue animals and people. My truck wasn't up to it. I went last time though. What sort of dumb ass would leave their cat, dog, or even cattle behind? Back then, or now? I would stay with my cat, if they told me I could not take him on the bus....which is what George Bush did. Obama, didn't even take a break from the golf course for Sandy... I drove down to Hurricane Katrina to rescue pets that were left in the houses. I would do it again! That is what I did way back in hurricane Katrina. I was the one who went down there and rescued animals. I met a lot of people who refused to leave because the buses that would take them out of harms way....would not take their animals. I have a bit of PTSD from that war zone. The dumb ass population has doubled since then, I would guess....dumb asses getting pets because it looks good on Facebag! I despise you, if you left your pet during Harvey. I spit on you. Good thing that Jesus forgives you, because I don't! I see it all around me, people just not caring for anyone other than themselves. I do see some people that are payin attention. Hopefully, I will be with you in heaven....proly not, because, I am still in the kick over the temple and spittin stage. Thank you everyone who helped out this time around. Thank you for your service Those who didn't help last time...or this time....FUCK YOU!
Thank you, those of you that continue to fund my work, I have people behind me that give me paint...cat food, and cash. Sometimes, I get to step up to the plate and actually do a painting. The first inspiration for this painting was another painting. I assure you that I love them both.
I have a very gifted neighbor, who knows how to do a tune up on my truck. I think he would have helped me out before I approached him today. He is just that kind of a guy. I think he would have helped me....even if I didnt offer up the painting, Thing is, I am so stoic or something....some sort of shit....I have to have something to offer up as barter. I assure you that this man is also a musician, and there are many more conversations I would rather have with him, and his wife. Till then...do you want me to paint your house? I need to paint somebody's house that that wants me to do that...
I want to work, as I have always wanted work. So today, I brokered a tune up for this painting, I love those people who live in this house. I loved them before I met them. My truck needs a tune up....and this guy that lives in this house, can do that for me. I think it will be a great trade....a painting for a tune up. You have no idea what I can do, Let me show you.
How many people out there don't understand that our Opium/Heroin problem does and doesn't stem from Afghanistan? It is a rat line. Just like Viet Nam, when they shipped Opium in the caskets of dead soldiers to America. Prescot Bush made his money from Opium. Bill Clinton funded his campaigns with Cocaine. This is a matter of history! President Trump should immediately destroy the Poppy fields in Afghanistan. We didn't hear that last night in his speech. The quickest way to win the war in Afghanistan is to destroy the Poppy fields. If you don't see that from this president...then, he is false. He knows that Heroin is destroying America. He is in a position to stop the influx of Heroin into our country through the military. 3/4s of my friends are addicted to prescription Poppy. When the doctors shut them down, they will turn to Heroin? Who is to blame here? The rat lines through the military, the drug company's, the politicians who have thrived on the economy that thrives on private prisons and rehab centers that are dependent on drug dependence? This is an old plan...a modus operandi. What baffles me, is how come we still fall for it.
PS. Does anyone else remember that the day before 9 11, that the military lost like 3 million dollars or more...oh, and the places hit and destroyed had the records of this? Just sayin.
I am looking forward to the upcoming eclipse tomorrow. I must admit, that until I heard Carly Simon sing You're So Vain, I never even contemplated it. There are other songs that reference eclipses. What was she really singing about...really? The eclipse was just one of the versus.
I hope she continues to add versus as they come to her. What a great voice. What a great message. What a great mystery.
I can think of several public art installations that offend me. The Georgia Guide Stones would be number one on my list. Why do I think it is ugly? Because it is all about killing a few million people. And....it is just plain ugly. I have several other ugly art installations that I could cite here....but I won't because, my hope is that we can vomit over each one of them, and recover enough to consider the next. Why does it offend me? After all, I am an artist. Fair question. It offends me because at the heart of it, it promotes Eugenics.
I also attended a so called progressive church in Granville Ohio where Margaret Sanger was promoted as a feminist...her picture prominent. She was the founder of planned parenthood. I am not confused. I sat among them for many months. They were white people who wanted to eradicate the poor. That is true enough They wanted to do it through extermination methods, while proclaiming, and fund raising and pretending to help the poor. These groups name themselves the perfect opposite of what they are about. I attended....unfortunately, excommunicated, and I read in the papers where they capitalize on the very next crisis....pretending to be social justice warriors. They are the very Nazi's that they are proclaiming to be against. What a great cover. I am sorry for making them their Labyrinth. The second piece of art I would gladly destroy would be my own creation the labyrinth of Granville Ohio. I would not pick up a stick against them, even though they are actively involved in killing babies. I would simply destroy my own art. They have changed their name...and so have I....but their modus operandi is still the same. They will raise money to help the poor, and eradicate (murder) the poor. They don't have a better plan. I do have a better plan. My plan is not as easily figured out. My plan is to tell as many people one by one, behind the scenes...and one of these days....that church will be put out of business... I would take down my own art in the face of something like this. Stay tuned. I will tell you some other art, that I hate. I do think people should have the right to assemble and have free speech. These shitheads have taken it to a place that is Nazi, because they are Nazi. What are they gonna do when the people know exactly what they are up to? There will be alt left, and alt right that understand these people should be put out of business. That will be a rally, I will gladly attend.
Have you noticed that most of your computer gear, phones, and such are made from and by the current slaves? You, who are so quick to take down a confederate statue...have you checked your phone? Where was your phone made, and by whom? Hopefully, all the precious leftist protesters understand that the very technology in their hand is mostly made from slave labor in other countries, and they have to put nets out the buildings because people want to jump out the windows rather than be slaves. This is happening NOW in real time...not 200 years ago. Get it? How can we find Atlantis or The Ark Of The Covenant, if we are tearing down our historic sites faster than we can make them?
Let us destroy the pyramids in Egypt. Without "freedom of speech", we are all slaves.
I am opposed to anyone taking down any sculptures created backwards and forwards in time. Robert E Lee had no slaves. He was not in the civil war in order to promote slavery. It was complicated. As an artist, I hate it when historic art comes down. I have always promoted art....and I hate it when someone tries to subvert it. If you don't believe me....look up the Van Gogh mural in Columbus. I opposed it in the media at the time. I lost. It is a matter of history that my opinion did not count. I do not support the taking down of confederate statues But, if I were to be on the other side of this, I would demand the taking down of Albert Pikes memorial and burial in Washington DC. He totally made a timeline for 3 world wars....and all of them have come into play. Do I hate him...yes. He was part of designing this. Do I want his statue to be taken down....NO. I want us always to remember our history. I want our library's, our art gallery's, and statues to remain in tact. Robert E Lee had no slaves. I suggest that he might have had a very different reason to fight for Virginia and the South. On the the other hand Albert Pike might just have been someone about dividing our country....He certainly laid out the plans. I don't see the left out at his monument in Washington DC....he is actually buried there. You want to take down a statue and defecate on a grave....start there. I assure you, you won't be able to have a rally, piss on his grave, or do anything else around that....Why....You tell me. Go after that statue and grave MoFos.
I am having lots of trouble publishing my truths. Today, my pictures. I remember when the "left" actually believed in the right to express my opinion. You remember? "I disagree with you, but I support the right for you to express it?" No more. Now the left has drifted towards the gutter of suppressing the "other" argument. What is that? If I offend you, I should be suppressed. If you can't argue or debate, you just suppress any other ideas? I can tell you, that suppresses me as an artist. It means....that if I hurt anyone's feelings that my art is not acceptable. I hope my art hurts peoples feelings, and prompts them to get up off their ass. I hope my art causes people to think. Those of you who are trying to suppress other ideas...."you are out to lunch" as my band director Harry Gunther used to say. He said lots of kool things. He said one day the "marching band would be the feature, and the football team would come out at halftime". He might have been right, with all this politically correct stuff going on....head injury's....broken ribs....rah rah rah. They might outlaw football in the future as barbaric. I hope they don't. I just hope they make it safer. We don't won't wimps to go into war for our country. Still though. I was always in the band. What would it be like if it was a free country? People say that all the time. I worked with great athletes. I would imagine they are forces to watch out for. I worked with great musicians also. I worked with great trade men and women. We need all of us. I had great teachers, teammates and professors. I don't want the rat lines of the deep state to undermine any of us. Let us get em. Let us truely drain the swamp. How can they just rub us out....just because they were smart enough to get a deal to sell weapons for drugs, and then turn around and make companies to deal with drug addiction. They did this. Our government brokered weapons for drugs and then unleashed them on our country....We paid for it. We can shut it down....we just to have spine. When the hell are we gonna drain the swamp? How about if we drain the swamps in our own counties, and let Trump drain the Washington Swamp....which was a technical swamp by the way. In my own town....it would require law enforcement to execute the pedophiles in our judicial system all the way up to the top. The only reason I say that is they take an oath not to snitch on their comrades. They can not snitch. So....what is left? Don't snitch on the judge, lawyer, or cop that is a pedophile just eliminate them some other way....You don't have to snitch....just get get rid of them. Give them their walking papers. Give them a chance.
For some reason I can't publish the picture of Syd in front of Syd's World.
If I were God this place would be way different than it is. I understand that God does not run this place. He turned it over to Lucifer. What chance do I have? It means that I have already ended up in hell and there is no salvation for me. It also means that the dumb asses around me that still think there is a chance to get out of here are seriously deluded. As above so below the satinists say. So, if I don't know if I am already in hell, or that there is a worse place....what can I do? I can ignore the preachers for one thing...cause they are blowing smoke. I don't have to believe anyone if that is true. I am just surviving in hell at this point. I could hold out for this Jesus guy to help me out....but he doesn't. The hell that I would make as an an artist would never have a Jesus. I like the concept of Jesus. The problem is, that the church's that promote him have all rejected me because of my income. I do not reject the idea of Jesus Christ. I just don't like living in hell. Perhaps I will like that later. Sometimes people come into my life, buy feathers, give me cat food....etc. Then....I wonder, if there really is a God, that is in charge of all this hell. Still though, if I came before him, I would have to ask him how come he put Satan down here to be in charge of the earth. Pray for me. I don't understand how come a God that is over all this would allow me to be in the same arena with pedophiles, cheats, murderers, etc. I don't get it. Still though. I align myself with God Maybe I will get the hell out of here because I do that?.
My daddy had some pretty good records and good taste in music.
So do I, I loved this song in "59" and then later by Taj Mahal.
Sometimes songs are great without words. Sometimes when you hear the words to those wordless songs...it is heavenly!
Two summers ago, I was given this box of markers, crayons, pencils, and paints for my birthday (July 29th) it was my favorite birthday gift of all time. Funny thing is, that there is no logo, bar code, or identifying mark (advertising) on the box or the contents. I think that is extraordinary. I have used up a couple of the crayons, and markers....and would love to replace them. How can I do that if there is no marking on the contents or box in the first place? How come someone would create such a beautiful thing without marketing it?
I visited a friend yesterday, and I was heartened when she showed me her boyfriends new bike. I don't need a replacement kitten, to replace Lex. Lex was special, and I don't want to be evicted or get myself in financial trouble. Syd did not like Lex....not really. My loyalty is to him. Don't do me any favors. I have all sorts of offers for replacement kittens. It wasn't like that. Syd is just fine...maybe better now that Lex is gone. He doesn't need a little brother, and I don't need a reason for my landlord to evict me. Stop asking. It is not helping.
Syd and I took in a refugee cat. At first it was not nice. Later on though....it is all cool..New kitten...missing tail....mysterious beginnings. Lots of surrogate mother advise. Everyone is so worried about Syd....somehow he is supposed to be a threat. I think we will just not speculate how this kitten came to us...we will just leave the mystery be. This is Lex, because Lex came from New Lexington. Cat ladies are worried about what is going to happen between Syd and Lex. I assure you I have it under control. I control nothing. This is a God thing. I trust God over man...and so Gods creations are gonna act like they do. It is a plus for me if I can guess how they might act.. I think I just might have a better hedge on the bet on how animals are gonna act versus humans. I think Syd and Lex just might be friends....and I think I can predict that better than the stock market and politics. Someone has to look out for these fellas....right?
For those of you who missed the VSA Exhibition this spring, you can see Syd's World at The Riffe Gallery lobby display the month of June. We have been honored this year! Prints of this painting will be available as well as post cards.
Syd's World received some more recognition this week. What a thrill to be recognized again for my recent wins this spring! Obviously, the author of this official letter did their homework on my achievements as I did not mention the other achievements when I wrote to Senator Hottinger about The Peoples Choice award, and Second Place in show. It is back to the drawing board today as I try to top last years win.
Happy Cinco De Mayo. I am not altogether sure we should be celebrating this holiday. Still though, today, I will celebrate my ancestors who came before me. I grew up with this tune as did most of my comrades, My compadres...we should not be drinking the tap water in Newark. They are putting fluoride in and not filtering all the drugs and waste out. Perhaps some of us should come to city council and try to address this problem...,Comprendo?
Old standby tunes come to mind as I work on my next paintings. I loved this tune. it brought me into the fold of a christian cult. I reject the cult....but....I think the tune is still fine:)
I am a disabled aging person of multiple colors. I have always been a target. I never saw myself as a victim. Still though, my friends and family always seemed to make excuses for the Eugenicists that surround me to this day. I love this song. "I dreamed I saw Ray Charles last night, and he could see just fine". I have been hearing some wind about some of my favorite alternative media gettin censored. I figure until someone important gets censored, and there is a stink about it...no one will give a shit about me. I got demonetized in 2013 for writing in this blog about satanic ritualistic abuse. How come I should give a Damn about the giants being demonetized, when they didn't notice I was being edged out? I promised you I don't know the answer. I do know...my creator didn't drop me. I love my friends that won't just let me get pushed aside.
I guess while I am painting clouds, the rest of the world is angling for war. I guess it sucks to be you day if that is what you are into. I will show you more when I get results, I still don't know clouds at all...I promise you. I am doing this activity, as my own government is posturing for war! I could just hide under a blanket. Anyway....I am not pleased that my government seems bent on war. So...I am bent on trying to balance that out. Clouds are first in my book.
Syd and I are alright today. I am painting. I have an idea...but my idea is an ancient idea. It is an Ancient idea..as old as the sun, moon, stars, and sky. That is where we start! It is as old as the sky. It is an idea that goes back to our existence. So...I will start out with the sky today. My country seems to be bent on war. So be it...Syd and I are going to spend our day together and do what we love to do best...even if it is our last day together.
Syd's World will be in Westerville Ohio on March 25th at The Westerville Community Center 350 North Cleveland Ave. Columbus Ohio. Please come join us in A Day of Arts for All. Doors open at 11:00 am...ceremony is at 12:00. I would love to see those of you who I know, and meet those of you I have not met yet!
Heroine rules my
neighborhood. In order to fund it....they have to take over the secret societies. Still though...some of us are creating art...what the hell do I know about art? What do I know about heroine? I can't even spell. Or, somebody is spellin for me?
I got a grant from The Ohio Arts Council for this upcoming season. Funding is so important to what I do! Thank you everyone who helped me make it through these slim times. I promise, I won't let you down. I will be offering prints at cost for Syd's World. Get a hold of me, and I will hook you up. Thank you everyone for helping me sustain myself and Syd through this time. I wrote the grant in November....and will probably not see any of the money until mid February. Grant writing is a lengthy and laborious process. Thankfully, I have other talents and other places to throw my energy while I wait for funding...otherwise it would take years to get anything done.
