Wonderful

Social media and the internet are the new hidden parents of the new funky millennium. Boomers had TV and radio. In the words of Homer Simpson on TV: “Teacher, Mother, Secret lover” Yes something like that.

This is rad, its funny how they note it as a weed, something that grows in undesirable places.

The Latin at the bottom reads: “Grows but in waste places, and at roadsides, and along hedges. The very best medicine for healing.”

Not that bad

Like the octopi, our destiny is to become what we think, to have our thoughts become our bodies and our bodies become our thoughts. This is the essence of the more perfect Logos envisioned by the Hellenistic polymath Philo Judaeus—a Logos, an indwelling of the Goddess, not heard but beheld.

Hans Jonas explains Philo Judaeus's concept: A more perfect archetypal logos, exempt from the human duality of sign and thing, and therefore not bound by the forms of speech, would not require the mediation of hearing, but is immediately beheld by the mind as the truth of things.

The process of making these is:

Collect comics and beer labels, put the beer label on a piece of paper. (Peel it off while can is full)

Find comics and beer labels with similar themes or colors. This takes a while and involves comic book shopping.

Cut out comics into fun shapes.

To put it together I drink a ton of beer with my wife and sister listen to classic rock and do blow. It makes it a fun process and seems to dial in the art itself. Outlaw country!!!

Old Books look so cool

I always have a small bag on me with the essentials from sunglasses to weed. Wallet cellphone keys. Paper and more than one color of pen. A small book for reading or pressing flowers. A knife. Maybe one or two legendary Items. One of those jackets that folds up real small.
