Cultural Momentum

This is a piece I made early this year. It stands 42 inches high and the podium top is 18 inches wide. The book has a sheet metal cover and Plexiglas pages. The two landscapes are painted with egg tempera
the other pages are done with acrylic, painted on both sides of the plexi.

The painting of the child on the front of the podium is done in oil and the back panel is Plexiglas with collage applied and torn away to leave a series of ghost images of advertising and magazine photographs.
The poem is mine the definitions are not.  read more »

Choices

"Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying, or else you say something true, and it will sound like it's from Neptune."
Noam Chomsky

"Everybody's worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there's a really easy way: stop participating in it."
Noam Chomsky

portrait of dick cheney

This is a photoshop-animated collage of dick cheney. It moves along pretty fast if you want to read some of the charts you can hit pause, also the banner at the bottom was described as a partial list of private military contractors in alphhabetical order. I only made it to G. Which gives you some indication of how many there are.

This video does show some bloody scenes from Iraq. It would be an inaccurate portrayal of dick without innocent peoples blood in it.  read more »

House raids Iraq

This a slideshow/video that qoutes US soldiers interviewed on the subject of the house raids they did while serving in Iraq. One soldier said that he did over a thousand of these raids in a year. The pictures are taken by soldiers and journalists who went along during house raids. This is rarely spoken of in our media but is sited by many Iraqis as one of the most common reasons they want the US out of their country. It is also a job that many troops say they hate doing, it is freighting and they really don't like humiliating and terrorizing Iraqi families.  read more »

The world is local

George bush and his goon squad are a symptom of our problem as a nation not the problem itself. We are caught staring into the glaring headlights of their awesome stupidity while continuing to allow the real issues to go mostly unaddressed.  read more »
