Video Post: The Fall of The Empire

Om Brzee Namaha!
















Since we are no longer the United States do we still have to pay taxes?!

Am I watching these videos wrong? Or is this happening on an American University Campus? So not only are these kids being indoctrinated and assimilated they are now getting the shit kicked out of them for no apparent reason? Does anyone know why cops are beating kids on the University of Pittsburgh campus and in the City?

I have an idea. If anyone wants to start a t-shirt company, I'll do a sweet graphic, but it will say " We Have Come To Give You Hugs"... we'll sell them to protesters, there seems to be a lot more these days (so we know it's a good market).

If we start to go out and give cops hugs, tell them that we appreciate them protecting and serving us, maybe give them a fresh picked flower... you may laugh... but beating the shit out of each other hasn't seem to work? So why don't we just try Hugs and Flowers? Just once? Or why don't we make artwork and start to give it to cops, and CIA members and the FBI and all those people who protect and serve us... that way we might be able to connect on a human level... I know humanity is "passe", and it seems most people think we are just an evolution of animal, but I tend to feel that the potential for humanity is infinite and that we are something far greater than what we've been exhibiting.

Another idea is we can all get those old 80's boom-boxes and go out to protests (with tan trench-coats), raise them over our heads and play our favorite love songs... like in that movie Say Anything... you know what I'm say'n!

I forgot to say this in an earlier version of this post, but I was reminded by a comment, good for people getting out and standing up for the ideas that resonate with them. It may not accomplish what is desired but it sure does beat wasting your life away, on anti-depressants, watching Television. In whatever we do, we must start getting active and start engaging each other, if we don't... ?

Check out We Are Change.

Sketchbook Post 36

Om Brzee Namaha!



About nine or so years ago I started to go to a couple of websites; infowars and prisonplanet. These are two alternative media sites that are run by a very outspoken and courageous individual, Alex Jones. I don't always agree with his tactics and I don't always agree with all the information that he presents but I would have to say that Alex Jones had a big part to do with me researching everything for myself and questioning all information no matter what the source. Alex Jones, is a self proclaimed soldier against the New World Order and he makes a pretty good case. Here's to you Alex!

Fine Art Post 11: Female Studies

Om Brzee Namaha!




I've been working on different styles of female characters for a while now. I think I'm honing in on a more definitive proportion and line style. We'll see... what do you think?

Evolutionary Action: 8 Steps to Buddha

Om Brzee Namaha!


Eight Steps to Buddha
 
 
Sitting with the Buddha
I thought
(Calmly and with Insight
of course)
 
This seems easy enough
 
I've got all my "Rights"
In Mind
 
Right View
Right Intention
Right Speech
Right Action
Right Livelihood
Right Effort
Right Mindfulness
Right Concentration
Right On
Right Left
 
(okay, seriously)
 
How tough can this be
 
(I don't have to count
those 4 Noble Truths do I?)
 
So...we're talking
8 steps to Buddha
 
And I'm in
 
(If I do have to count
those other 4 that's 12
at the max, I mean
what's all the fuss about?)
 
No wonder the guy is always
Smiling
 
He must have crossed his legs
Struck a mudra
And thought
(Half-lidded and grinning)
 
How much more simple
Do I have to make this
People?
 
Enlightenment, Enlightement
Work with me here
 
and Hey
 
Stop taking notes
Start questioning
Stop grasping
Start paying attention
 
Pay attention I said
 
 
Yeah
 
I'd smile too
Especially if I
Could look
Cool
Serene
Knowing
 
Yeah
 
This enlightenment thing
Seems to be working
For him
 
 
8 steps  and a killer smile
 
I am there
I am so there
 
 
(So what's the deal
with everyone anyway?)
 
Let me grab
That Wheel of Samsara
Drive the express lane
Through the Karmic Field
 
Seeds of Deeds
Deeds of Seeds
 
I'll hit the future
From the point
of Now
 
Look over here
Team
 
I'm sayin'
 
I'm in the stream
 
(pay attention now please)
 
I
Am
In
the
Stream

Sketchbook Post 35

Om Brzee Namaha!



After I do a post about celebrities and fascist governments I like to calm it down a bit with some sexy ladies. I don't want people to get the wrong idea... I'm not all business, I still like to party. These drawings were done with a tiny dancer in mind.

Video Post: I Knew It Was Getting Scary Out There... But?

Om Brzee Namaha!





I pledge to not make pledges and to live free from pledges... what do pledges do? Besides making celebrities look more like slaves then they already are? Please try not to be offended by the previous statement about celebrities being slaves, I'm not writing that to be offensive, I just feel that it's a true statement(?) But their not much different then the majority of the world population, so I welcome them to the party!

And does this video, if you made it through the whole thing, does this video concern you? Please leave me comments about this one because I'm really interested to know.

And I don't want to start any sort of 'art scene' drama, I usually don't make such bold statements about artists but it seemed really weird to me that Shepard Fairey is doing political propaganda posters? I'm not calling him a sell-out, I don't really like that term and making a living from what you love to do is honorable. When the Government of the United States employs a popular 'underground' artist to make images of our 'National Leader' I think we need to evaluate how concerning this is as well.







Art + Government = People Are Enslaved

I'm not trying to pick on Shepard either, because if you've received a government grant or you went to state school and got your "Fine Art" degree, you might want to re-evaluate why you make art. I know that I had to evaluate my own motives for making art (I saw that it was driven by ego for most of my life, thank me that I started to see how insane that was).

Making art for the State isn't that what what's-his-name does in North Korea? Obama is a brand and Shepard is the illustrator, government or corporation I can't tell... but it smells like Fascism to me. Fascism is when there is no line between the Corporate Sector and the Private Sector, The Corporation and The Government are One (i.e. Fascist Germany, Fascist Italy), it didn't seem to work out too well in those countries why would we want that here? The problem with Fascism is the Corporation has no accountability, when they take over the Government or vice versa, there still is no accountability, how are the people supposed to be free when everything is owned by the Corporation/Government? Underground, or counter-culture, or political artists making art for the State?! Whether they were payed or they did it of their own volition... didn't they get the memo? It doesn't matter who's in office... War = Profits, Corporation + Government = Fascism... Obama is just the new dictator for at least the next four years. Bow down to your leader.

Let's make it the new fad or trend to stop being slaves and not think that governments or leaders or messiahs are going to save us... let's make it viral! Spread the word.

Oh! One more thing. Have you noticed that the United States is still in two Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and there are many other 'military actions' that are also taking place in other countries simultaneously? Wasn't Obama going to 'bring the troops home'? Hmmm... I remember some words like "Hope" and "Change" that were hijacked... well Obama I'm taking em back Sen!

This Is What Anarchy Looks Like!!! 1

Om Brzee Namaha!



Hello! This is a poster series I just started called "This Is What Anarchy Looks Like!!!". I will be coloring this one digitally but I got really stoked while editing it, so I wanted to put it up right away. This is just the black and white version. I have a whole series of them coming out because quite frankly I'm tired of living under government, so I'm not going to. I want the whole world to be Free. I want liberation and enlightenment for everyone. I know that this is possible and I think people have been talking, writing, making art, music, etc. for years and it's about time it starts happening. We have evolved we are evolving and we really don't need people to tell us how to live anymore. It seems that no one has the answers but we now know, without a shadow of a doubt and with plenty of historical data to prove it, that government has failed, in every regard except... One... it has taught as what we now know(kind of like the snake eating it's own tail), every major "socio-economic" movement has failed, and any new forms put in their place will eventually fail. Governments are just a dysfunctional manifestation of the collective egoic action to pass off responsibility to some one else. Feudalism, Monarchies, Communism, Socialism, Capitalism, etc.... they have all failed, they are done. We can now start to live free. We can de-calcify our Pineal Glands, deprogram, re-educate and learn the tools and starting tuning in to how we can live the most amazing lives, and not tomorrow but RIGHT NOW!

I know that some may view these Posters as "Political" or "Radical" or whatever else wants to view them as... which is completely acceptable, except these labels could not be further from the Truth. I am making a statement as Human Being, not a "this" or a "that". I know this is passe to a lot of our generation because it involves something more then a trend, or what's "hot", but fuck that... I'm making a statement... I am Free, I am Creativity and I am Flowing and you can be too. We all know governments are bogus... what have they done for you? What does wearing a suit mean? And when everyone has their Phd because there are no "jobs" left and people just further their education because they don't know what else to do... what good is that going to do anyone? We're going to have a lot of doctors running around not knowing what to do because they believed their Indoctrination. But have no fear, they're going to think they are really intelligent; they got a sweet certificate from Yale or Harvard or any State University, I'll even throw-in Private Institutions. But the fact of the matter is that they aren't more INTELLIGENT, they are just more INDOCTRINATED. It's funny because there are a lot of experts talking these days but does anyone else see what I'm seeing? I know you are... I know I'm not the only one. And what are the experts still doing... Talking? Why don't we stop talking for a second... sit in a quite room and breathe... start to focus on our breath... meditate... and realize that we aren't the expert we thought we were and wake up to the Truth.

This Is What Anarchy Looks Like!!! will serve as my creative interpretation of The Situation but by no means am I trying to convince anyone of anything. If these ideas resonate with you, that's awesome, if not, start researching, stop listening and obeying authority and start to wake up. I also suggest that we all should start focusing on our health a lot more, we might see some pretty amazing, worldly, cosmic things start to happen. I don't like to tell people what they SHOULD do, because I don't know what anyone SHOULD do but I think most people will admit that what they are doing in their own lives isn't working, not to mention that things don't seem to be going so hot "out there", if you know what I mean.

Also, I'm getting a bunch of these printed, at some point and I'm going to post them up around. I will be selling high-quality versions at my online shoppe shortly. Until then, download it and send the image to everyone you know. Post them up, blog about them, I can send you a hi-res if you want to print them out and hang them up... whatever... let's get viral! And look out for the colored version and more posters to come!
