Vitae…Verba…Cruorem…Fluo…
more inspirational art…this time from Arnold Bocklin, an inspiration to Franz Stuck…
this is his most famous work…Isle of the Dead…he did five versions of this…this one is my favorite…
here’s another one i love…Life is Short… click both to see more detail…
i wouldn’t sneeze at the offer of a $50k advance…but that would be a mighty large pay cut…even for me…
either way, this is a pretty devastating look at how authors get treated by the publishing business…and just another piece of evidence as to why i think self-publishing is a better option…
it’s 3:45…i’m sitting at my desk drinking a beer and trying to find a way to end my day on a good note… i woke up this morning…yesterday morning…in a poor mood…i had to go to work on what was supposed to be my day off…strike one…
next, i find out that the one radio station that made me excited to turn on the radio has folded and become…ugh, how to describe this without promoting it in any way…it’s now a station who’s airtime is bought and paid for, in its entirety by a major local strip club…so there are no commercials, just sad little teases to promote the club…and the name…well, they’ve named themselves after the most prominant feature on the on the show club dance floor…i’ll let you figure it out…the music is not all bad…just mostly bad…it’s exactly what you would expect to hear in a strip club…just subtract the writhing naked flesh and the overpriced drinks and you can make the inside of your car as soulless and depressing as closing time on a slow night…strike two…
have you ever worked for someone who wants to impress you how much smarter they are than you, but they’re actually not…strike three…
so here i am, trying to prevent my day from being an entire waste…let’s try this…
Wind und Welle by Franz von Stuck…another pre WWII German painter has captured my imagination…here, it seems Stuck has personified the interplay between wind and the sea and turned it into something beyond wonderful…
yes, that’ll do…
remember Wooly Willy…
not that, get your mind out of the gutter…the toy that gave you hours of fun by moving magnetic shavings around to make different facial hair configurations…well now, there’s Furry Jimmy…your new digital friend…
start with the all American classic…The Youklis…
or go casual with The Weekender…
you can go all the way with The City Gentleman…
need a quick halloween costume? don’t be a pirate, again! try on one of America’s most beloved characters…The Lincoln…
(or Amish, if you prefer…)
there’s the perennial Fu Manchu…
it’s still not too late to go to Comic-con as your favorite comic book super hero…
(the boys in legal said we can’t use the real name, so we just call this one Chops…)
add a few chin whiskers…and you’ve got a Reverse Fu Manchu…
wanna scare the young punks in your neighborhood…nothing beats The Enforcer…
if you really want to make people poop their pants, you can’t go wrong with The Cleric…just add a robe and a towel and terrify your friends…
but nothing beats America’s all time favorite…Der Fuhrer…
