After The Gold Rush by Madeline Woe Original Digital Art Painting [link]

Turning around a blue Monday into a personal triumph...

Neil Young and this song inspired me today. I listened to it over and over as I painted this digitally. It is a beginning for me. I just decided to trust my instincts and let it be. I changed my glyph 2011, but I am still blaming MadelineWoe.

In the summer of 1979, I was in Los Angeles meeting my husband to be's family. We took the opportunity to go to Disneyland. We were at the music area waiting resting on our way to see the Electric Light Parade. There was an old style band playing and just my fiancee, his 8yr old son, and me sitting there. There was an old black man with smiling eyes and face standing up front. Then I saw the drum with the letters CB on it. I told my husband to be. What the fuck, do you know who this is? Count Basie! I looked around and people just passed by. I told my man that I am going to sit a spell and give this legendary band man some respect and enjoy his music. I felt honored and ashamed that I could not stay until he stopped. Disneyland in a day and after using up all our E tickets, the parade was our last need to see. I imagine that anyone playing Disneyland is just for backup, but hope they all got paid well.

I don't know the laws of streaming. You get so much YouTube and Facebook sharing going on, that it is not really in LARGE PRINT what the law is.
I am a grandma blogger. I just dump stuff I find on Google searches to share with a small amount of followers. I was originally a share dump to keep from making my Facebook feed long list of spam for my friends. It did not really mean much to Facebook, since hardly a one including my family view this regularly...

NASCAR -be all that WE can pay for!

Vitamin String Quartet doing The Verve's BSS @ YouTube

The Army spends $7 million a year on its NASCAR team, and sees it as a useful recruiting tool. The Army picked up 46,000 recruiting leads in 2010 through its racing team, Col. Derik Crotts, director of the Army’s sponsorship, told Washington Wire.

The Army, the Air Force and the National Guard NASCAR racing teams will ride again this year, after the House voted 241-148 to ditch a measure to ban the Pentagon from sponsoring stock car teams. [copy and pasted verbatim from WSJ  Feb 18th]

I personally think that it is in as bad taste as my photos below to expect the government to fund an entertainment sport.  Where do the other competitors get their monies from?  There has got to be rich corporate sponsors who would want to over take the expenses.  
Couldn't a bunch of politicians figure that out and put a bid on it and wait for a heroic corporation to step in?  
Why do people even vote when their representatives are just pussy and dick and no brains?

NASCAR is more popular than Hershey bars.

Refugees love NASCAR.  Can you say NASCAR?

Presidential Icon Day?

I was thinking on how I used to tease my family when I used to make hot dogs.  I would hold a weenie with my hand and whip it back and forth and say "HEY NOW I CAN BE PRESIDENT"!

I found some tasteful art using the penis as subject.  It was fun for me to pick this all out of the dumpster for you!

Kojo no Tsuki by Rentaro Taki. 荒城の月 "The moon of the deserted castle" @ YouTube

A famous Japanese folk song

(btw when you embed a youtube video you can shorten the height in both areas of the code to 27 and get this perfect player strip. height "27" just the value between the quotes. But you must then put a link below so not to disrespect the almighty YouTube).


Dontcha just love a full moon?
It is forever present in our lives.  I consider myself proudly " a lunatic" and when the full moon influences are abound, I need not see her and know she is shining brightly.  As I sit in the dark, looking above when her full face is showing, I confirm with her that I can feel her.  It is not a craziness...it is an affirmation that you feel and appreciate her glowing beauty in the night!


If you enjoy horror movies and have seen them all or many...
This playlist is for those who have NOT seen the cult classic 
Re-Animator 1985.  

It should be in your DVD library or "have seen" list if you are truly a fan.  This movie does not get the notoriety it deserves.  When you have countless re-runs of horror movies, this one gets little air time, but deserves true recognition!  There is a sequel "Beyond Re-Animator 2004" you will have to see that as well.
Kick back and enjoy!




these full movie chunks on YouTube come and go so catch them when you can!  Ebay sells copies as low as 12 bucks with the shipping included.

Who the fuck is that long assed named dude above?
He was the bassist for ST and now he is the bassist for Metallica.
He goes by the short version Robert Trujillo.

As I crawled the Virtual Dumpster I call the Internet (tonight)...
I Googled "motion comics" and found About 14,800,000 results (0.20 seconds)








I decided to pick some treasures out of the dumpster to include in my blog.

I used to collect comics and I love watching cartoons. In cartoons, I have found Batman and Batman Beyond to be my favored. I am so happy that Stan Lee is showcasing some of his Marvel Universe in animation that I recently caught up with on watch now NetFlix.

Motion comics have been out since 2005. Marvel had a contest last year with 3 different characters and provided assets for up an coming animators to give it a go. Those were the first ones I saw. I decided to check up on how they have progressed.

Motion comics are like a step back from cartoons and a tiny step up from comic books. When I saw the first ones, I really preferred a comic because it had more to read and the art was better. I guess it is an acquired taste.

If you didn't know, Steven King has been doing comics since 2005 beginning with Gunslinger.

YouTube of course has "N" 1-25. This is the first one and then you can jump onward.

you can turn off Metallica above, of course to see the videos below

Marvel...It is called "The Marvel Universe" that is how big it is! So what is there to explain...it seems we all even know what Stan Lee looks like when he appears as a cameo! But have you seen this pic of Stan the Man? It is copyrighted and for sale so I will just link you to it so you can see him younger [here]

Like a fucking Drive In Movie around here now!

I expanded my blog body to 800 px! You go to the edit html in the design mode and change the outer wrap pix to 1110 then you change the body px to 800 and the sidebar px to 300. Preview until it comes out right if it doesn't just don't save it.  I played around with my pix and got it all to fit. I use control f to bring up the finder and then I px in and when I saw big numbers that seemed to be the size of things I changed and previewed them.

I heard this song on the radio while killing cops on Saints Row 2 on the 360.
I had to use an AOL video because it was the clearest official video.
Love the song, don't you?

As I crawl in the Virtual Dumpster I call the Internet...
 I Google image searched "art" About 733,000,000 results (0.23 seconds)







In January, I got 1400 hits on my blog. It sounds like I am popular, but I am just part of Google now. There are about 1000 users out there who click on images that I have posted. Sort of like Google Karma. I do it, and they do it to me. I widened my blog body so I can display larger images. I know though that I am not just raping the Virtual Dumpster I call the Internet and not giving credit to the source. I am satisfied by the artists' creation and out of millions and millions of possibilities as I always try to demonstrate. I pick the treasures that I wish to share and recant the names for passer-byes.

Scott Marr [link here]
I found this artist through another blog (more so a website) called Daily Art Muse
The DAM website is a showcase of artists!  Susan Lomuto (the muse) has an extraordinary eye for art.
Another blogger dedicates her blog solely on Scott Marr.  Not only is his colorful art unique, but it is composed of tints and colors that have been derived from nature with Scott's alchemy talent. Something I can not even conceive, I can just quote the words "Pyrography, eucalypt bark wash, coriopsis flower wash, ochres and plane tree charcoal" as the ingredients to his colors on just one piece of work.

Mary Canning's Art blog just on Scott and a year of his art! [link]

Michael Ray Bruce [link]
In 1995 I lived on a mountain in a simple cabin.  It was simple and beautiful, but too harsh for my young lings.
It was night and I blasted my stereo playing Pink Floyd Momentary Lapse of Reasoning into the darkness of the mountains.  I thought , I am going to have to thank Mike Bruce for turning me on to Pink Floyd.  We went to high school together.  Never shared a class or a kiss, just a bong.  Back then he said, "Here you can have these you will like them".  They were 8 track tapes for my car player.  Pink Floyd DSOTM, Zepplin iv, Ted Nugent, Crosby Still and Nash So Far. I found his number apologized that I was a bit high and spun and thanked him.  I read his bio and of his struggle to bring out his art.  I am glad his soul has found it.

Batik

As I crawled in the Virtual Dumpster I call the Internet....


I was looking for a paisley background and came across BATIK and remembered how much I love it!
If you Google image search Batik you get About 27,700,000 results  (0.15 seconds)
Again, let me pick through the Virtual Dumpster and select some treasure!


Back in the 80's I had a favorite gauze like shirt that was Batik. It was 100% cotten and it was also 100% cozy. I wore it to death.

[Link to gallery]

[Link here to a well balanced sampling and website on Batik]

Peter Votichenko from the above  Pico Batik web, describes Batik:
"There are many sites on the web that describe the fascinating and intricate process of batik in detail. What I love about the technique is the ability to achieve brilliant colors, the smooth flow of hot wax into fabric, the smell of the hot bees wax, and the perpetual source of surprise that batik provides".

 Sacred Energy by Janet Searfoss [link here to her passionate description of her work]

Janet Searfoss has a nice collection and quite a production set up [link here]

I came across this awesome HOW TO video on Batik;

This is the bottle she is using and what it is called.

The Googliest!!

 As I crawled in the Virtual Dumpster I call the Internet...I used Google!  OMG!


I was on the Google Maps Street View checking out if I could remember the place my grandma lived on a short road in Berkeley, California when I was 4 and 5. Couldn't find it, but found the next house we lived in 1964-1965.


 Google is the bomb. Out of all the search engines and home pages...They have YouTube.  They have Google Maps. The have Bluezy's Virtual Dumpster Dive, too!



From New York Times article "Freakonmics" June 5, 2007:
[link here to read their article]

"Our goal is always to provide the best user experience possible. Street View provides users with a rich, immersive browsing experience directly in Google Maps, enabling greater understanding of a specific location or area".

I knew that this had to be a tremendous undertaking.  We who can just click now and get there, can take for granted this HUGE project.  And this project is forever growing and updating itself.

"On May 3rd 2008, artists Robin Hewlett and Ben Kinsley invited the Google Inc. Street View team and residents of Pittsburgh’s Northside to collaborate on a series of tableaux along Sampsonia Way"

 I just thought the above posing could of been a lot more dramatic and artistic...
