Still not hired...

I applied to work in Marcus Jansen's studio, but, unfortunately, was not hired.

I thought of this though on the ride home, I think it's kind of neat (just an idea I had since he mentioned working on a catalog - this is not work he commissioned to be done.) 
Just done quickly to show idea...

weird day.

weird day
might just scrap and redo tomorrow after cleaning today... still not THERE.

re: laziness of the underclass

I know this isn't the reason that I am unemployed, and I know this is a tiny portion of the work force, but stores are not closing because they are under staffed, they are closing because there is a lack of business.  true, new stores open in place and hire near the same amount of people but there would always have to be more customers than employees.  I'm still not sure that white collar jobs and menial labor cover the rest of the work force. I guess that is why welfare is considered part of the stimulus, right?

brakes on the brain.

moved a hand brake.

woot!
still not being hired at local bike shop.  starting to feel confident that I could work there.

(would still need some training - I don't know very much about fixing a gear shift but I bet I could do that and replace a gear after being shown....)

the magical realism in "da sweet blood of jesus" is

 genius.
surprised the last scene is the two women though.
[the licking of blood like dogs made me a little uneasy but, not to be ham-fisted, if it is a play on people saying his movies are magically realistic because a wealthy black person is magical realism, the point that it is more unlikely (or equally unlikely) to see a black person lapping liquid off the ground is o.k. by me.]

p.s.
does that make two broke girls magical realism? 

taking punk to its logical (and absurd) extremes

you'll be punk enough when you are in the woods playing me "beat on the brat" with reeds tied to a twig...  if you heard that song from a stereo and not firsthand (unless you built the stereo and speakers in which case you are welcome to press your own 7" recording to play me your music), you're dead to me. 
(if you live near some copper ore, you have hit the life jackpot.)

maybe the point is that at worst you are doomed to the technology and state from which you came.  
(repetition is failure, right.  Not that that is "punk")

those mushrooms

are totally stuffed.

I know there are copy machines. I know.

first time that I have done two at once.

First of the lenticular series

stalling another small square so I made this... probably two more to come...

I want to be commissioned to do this

on boarded up buildings.

joke from college

"rattled by the rush" looping the hook under me freaking out about rush's conservative views on his radio show.

this just in...

I totally just heard a commercial that sounded like "rose and licorice" playing in the living room.  I was not in the room so I do not know the product.  how many times can I say "mind blown" before it loses all meaning?
