I am absolutely certain that you will never find in over 500 posts on this blog that I’ve ever referred to my art-making as a practice. I just make art. I don’t have a practice. Recently, a lot of people are referring to their art-making as a practice — even landscape painters — as if…

After a century of anti-art bullying visual art, visual art bites back! There are 25 images in this mini-series so far. Above is the first, which I made four years ago, though I didn’t intend at the time to make even one more. Originally I attributed the faux painting to an imaginary artist, Günter Groos,…

Bad Luck: I haven’t been able to complete any new art this month [see samples of my art above], nor write articles. It’s because I had the opportunity to move back to the U.S. and stay somewhere where I could devote myself to art for about a year, and thus I moved. This was…

Bit of comedy by me. I do voice impressions, and one of them is my 50’s pretentious announcer voice. Here you can learn how to pronounce “wh” just like him.

Why does grandpa want to take the bus? This is a dialogue I made for a lower level English class about illness, symptoms, and asking and answering questions about them. I drew the cartoon, made the dialogue, and do the voice of grandpa.

I don’t intend to keep this as a pencil drawing at all. I just needed to get his basic proportions right so the finished result, whatever that might turn out to be, looks enough like him, which is important, because this is based on a screen shot of him at the precise instant when the…

New Drawing. I used only markers. I wanted bolder lines and stronger color than the last drawing, which I did in colored pencils. I also wanted to do a close-up of a person. I used some fluorescent colors on the Sorbet, which the scanner didn’t pick up. Soooo, there’s a little something special that can…

What? This isn’t up to my customary standards? True. True. It’s a mess! Nevertheless it was the first time in a long while I just decided to sit down and draw, even if it was just for fun. It started out as a caricature of my friend’s stuffed animal buffalo. There’s even a fish with…

I had some trouble with foreshortening and anatomy, but I think it looks convincing now. Or it could have been on purpose, in which case… Oh, alright, I guess I have to come right out and say it. It’s supposed to be bad. It’s an attack on fan art.

This extended version has something rather funny and unexpected happen to me in Part 2: The Release. I combined parts 1 & 2 (The Capture + The Release), amplified and cleaned up the sound, and added a title page and credits. The real reason I did this was to practice using “Movie Maker” to combine…

On reflection it was more fun having a president who was bad because he was remarkably dim, as opposed to having one that’s too clever for our own good. Listening to my faux interview with W again today, I think my impression and jokes weren’t half bad. My fake interview with George W. Bush made…

And now our blogs will feature ads. Businesses follow us, and businesses advertise on our blogs. Why not just cut out the middle man so businesses can advertise to each other? Incidentally, if you missed my post about all the businesses and other bogus “followers” I have, it’s here.

Here is a sampling of my followers on wordpress.com. There are many more like this. In fact, I have over 400 followers, 90% of which I can be confident are bogus. They are just businesses or individuals spamming to get people to visit their blogs. It’s all just a little depressing. I deserve better than…

Just an amusing quick cartoon. When I’m teaching English (still have a few weeks left before the year of art commences), I have a lot of games and competitions to make the classes more stimulating and energetic. I give the teams names, and they are usually silly: super toilet, happy hamburger, super starfish, fried egg,…

I am J. Sri Bhagovwid, and today I want to talk about how spirituality is being used as a weapon to dupe and suppress workers. Nowadays everyone is a guru. You can be a computer guru, a business guru, or a sports guru… Everyone knows some of the jargon in the same way everyone knows…

I am J. Sri Bhagovwid, and today I want to talk about what is wrong with the past, and why we need to slough it off. A questioner wanted to debate me. This is good. I don’t want meek followers looking to absorb wisdom. True seekers question and challenge authority unless or until they are…

I wasn’t supposed to be in the pic.

Sometimes 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…

I 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…

Don’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…
