Welcome to the second installment of never before released quotes. The easily-sharable graphics are by me, and they fit perfectly as images on the Facebook wall.
Read MoreThis is not the first time, folks. I’ve been butchered by many a barber or hairstylist. When I was a kid I got home-styled haircuts that were about 30 years after their time, so that I had the shortest hair in the school. I grew up in the 70’s, when everyone else was sporting medium…
Read MoreA veritable treasure trove of previously undocumented quotes by famous artists, writers, philosophers and other major cultural icons has just been released. I took it upon myself to create easily-sharable graphics for each of them. If you want to share, these will fit perfectly as images on your facebook wall (if you download them and…
Read MoreSometimes I don’t know if I can condone the ideas or comments of J. Sri Bhagovwid, but being as he is my most highly esteemed and apocryphal guru, I am giving him the benefit of the doubt for now. Just as a brief aside, one of the reasons I like him so much is the…
Read MoreI am J. Sri Bhagovwid, and I am a guest poster on this blog. If you can’t remember my name, just use the mnemonic, “Bag of Weed”. I think you can remember “J” and “Sri”. Some of the devotees at the ashram in Pondicherry address me as “Sir J Bag-of-Weed” and that’s OK, as long…
Read MoreI am J Sri Bhagovwid, but you can call me JSB, or “Funny Baba” or whatever. I have been invited as a guest poster on this blog. I conceived this idea to share. We may have to play the game, strap ourselves into our seats and get in line on the superhighway to sit in…
Read MoreDon’t want to bias viewers with my own commentary. it’s up to you to interpret and evaluate for yourself. Though, one critic did have this to say about it: Superman by EricKuns is yet another classic rendering of a great superhero. Sure, the anatomy isn’t perfect, I mean unless you call a bunch of grapes…
Read MoreExamining the rhetoric of the interrogators. Yesterday a post by American Lieutenant and “terrorist catcher” Chris Simmons, arguing that the “Prisoner’s Dillemma” technique for interrogation proved the “frailty of loyalty” in people, was freshly pressed. After reading his piece, some counterarguments came to mind. [Note that the following is not a criticism of the author – who…
Read MoreOne of the very best artists I’ve discovered through prowling around on the internet (in this case at Deviantart) is Andrew Newton, who did rather tight photo-realistic paintings in the past (the type that show every wrinkle, reflection, and wayward hair); but whose new work has broken out imaginatively into new terrain that faithfulness to…
Read MoreI thought my avatar was energetic, whimsical, and a sure sign I wasn’t taking myself all too seriously. It echoes the way I often make funny faces when people insist on putting me in photos. People have even requested that face, and the older of my friends say it fondly reminds them of the Mortimer Snerd.
Read MoreSomething new for today to ponder, or better yet to induce a moment or more of non-pondering, and non-ponderousness.
Read MoreI am J Sri Bhagovwid, but you can call me JSB, or “Funny Baba” or whatever. This is my first guest post here. So, I wanted to get right at the crux of the matter with a riddle for you to ponder. Isn’t it so? ~ JSB [Artwork by Eric Kuns] Who is J. Sri…
Read MoreI made this video to help people appreciate my piece. Check it out. It’s cool. And I uploaded it in high resolution so you can select HIGH DEFINITION and full screen mode on your player to see it in maximal beauty! Hang in for the close-ups. Also the music I chose is very appropriate and…
Read MoreIt was all about Kirk, and Kirk was a crock Star Trek Into Darkness wasn’t bad for your typical Hollywood action blockbuster, or as a daytime Soap, but any hint of the maverick, forward-looking vision of the original series was merely a remnant. Starships could now be submerged underwater, and could go faster than Warp…
Read MoreToday’s elite art buyers deluded into investing tens of millions on the Emperor’s new canvas. Blue painting with one white stripe fetches over 43 million at Sotheby’s auction. I’ve been to a Barnett Newman exhibition, stood in person before the canvases and patiently took in the subtle permutations of color and form, along with other…
Read MoreThis is a view from my balcony in Chiangmai, where the trees and plants are getting a bit of a workout. Technically speaking, we aren’t in the rainy season. It still rains sometimes though – hard. As long as I’m not out in it – such as trying to trudge my way to school to…
Read MoreSome of the best abstract & non-representational art I’ve painstakingly scoured off of Deviantart and included in my group, the “Fine Art Asylum”. Let’s just get out of the way the difference between “abstract” and “non-representational,” which are usually used interchangeably, including by yours truly. “Abstract” is similar to “distorted”, as in an altered version…
Read More“A one liner that didn’t need to be made, but thank God it’s not as disgusting as his usual work.” Paul McCarthy’s eagerly awaited ginormous “Balloon Dog” will soon be open to public viewing. Paaaaah! Lucky art fans will be able to see it at the New York art fair this weekend at Randall Island.…
Read MoreI had a few famous teachers at UCLA, and I just happened upon this article in the New York Times that my sculpture teacher, Charles Ray (we knew him as Charlie Ray) is in the news because his sculpture of a boy with a frog is being taken down.
