⭐️ ART + LiFE Update ⭐️

"Surreal Pop Mind"

 

As many of you know, or are kinda aware of, I am taking a break from creating ART.

I'm taking a much needed break from creating art, Quechua Book II, music, and just about anything else that requires my total undivided attention and razor sharp focus.

I, absolutely, love creating—conjuring up art of any kind because, not only is it immensely therapeutic, but it is such a neat feeling to create something out of nothing and have it mean something totally wonderful to someone else: Amazingly Awesome.

This is just me checking in with you: making sure you're OK, great and/or groovy - which, I truly HOPE you are. I'm hoping tooMuch you're staying Focused, Afloat, and above all, Taking Extra Good Care of Yourself

***If you're dealing with Anxiety, just immerse yourself in all that makes you Laugh, Giggle, Smirk, Silly, Feel Loved and Feel Extra Happy. No, I'm serious. Dive deep into All that Brings You some kinda Happiness. Find and delve into that Inner Peace: praying, meditating, breathing exercises, endless hours of music, etc. Become one with yourself, your world and eventually, the universe. 

Gallons, or if you prefer, Bite-sized bits of Happiness can be found in a movie, a song, album, the beach, the ocean, the outdoors (take a deep breath), concert, festival, fleamarket, thrift store, antique shop, music store, searching for that one album, walk down your favorite neighborhood, winery, park, lake, your favorite episode from that one outrageously obscure, but charming TV show, or your favorite BOOK. 

Books are very magical things, indeed. As well as being an artist, I'm also, from an early age, a proud bookworm and have evolved or upgraded into a poly-reader: I take immerse delight in reading more than one book at a time. To put it simply, I'm a juggler of books. 😊

The keyword here is PERSEVERANCE. It's one of my favorite words. No, there is no wall, it's all in your head. If you by chance see a wall: You Break Right Through That Damn Wall. If you encounter any obstacles, you Must Go Forward, Right On Through, and Remember: If you posses Magical abilities like creating any kind of Art, illuminating others with your Talent or have a vast and endless Imagination, Use Them Often and, above all, Wisely. 

We all have a SPIRIT, we certainly have a SOUL, you gotta learn to Use and Harness its ENERGY. Be Bold, Brave, Fearless, LovingPensiveThoughtful in Everything that You Do, in all that Truly Matters, Give it Your All, Do It From The Heart. Think about this: The appearance of ANGELS are Luminous and 'Scary' because they are PURE of HEART. When they appear they say: "Do Not Be Afraid." Or "Fear Not."***

I'll leave you with a quote from one of my favorite books. Oh yeah, obviously, I most definitely have one too many favorite books. 

"Then he [The Star-Child] waited, marshaling his thoughts and brooding over his still untested powers. For though he was master of the world, he was not quite sure what to do next. But he would think of something."

-2001: A Space Odyssey | Arthur C. Clarke

Bucking Bulls ➕️ Stock Cars ✖️ Monster Trucks

"A man who limits his interests, limits his life."

-Vincent Price

This past year has been very, extremely & overtly turbulent. Let me put it this way, kinda like getting bucked off a bull, but instead of falling off, I've managed to keep a good grip on this mighty bull called LiFE. It was....has...er, it IS one thing after another. I won't go into detail 'cause it'll be a gigantic waste of time. Oh, but I will say: I ain't letting go.

So, it was only fitting during this juggernaut of a year that I'd occupy and spend my time wisely by being inspired and obsobing all the . . .

PROFESSIONAL BULL RIDERS from USA 🇺🇸 Mexico 🇲🇽 to Australia 🇦🇺 to Brazil 🇧🇷, Canada 🇨🇦 & anywhere, everywhere else. NFR, PBR, PRCA, Teton Ridge+ ... I Am Totally Hooked. LANE FROST FOREVER: > Lane Frost Store <.

And NASCAR—not just watching current & past legendary drivers, iconic races, too many favorite race tracks, rivalries, determination, immense perseverance, but also  enjoying the hell outta all the video games: PS3 (EA Sports NASCAR: 09, 08, NASCAR '14, NASCAR 2011 The Game, Inside Line, Unleashed), NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) Bill Elliot's NASCAR Challenge, Nintendo64 (N64) 99, 2000, Nintendo GameCube: EA Sports NASCAR Chase The Cup 2005, NASCAR: Dirt to Daytona, and PS4. . . Can you kinda tell I have a healthy NASCAR obsession? DALE EARNHARDT FOREVER. > Dale Earnhardt Store <.

With all that said, I've been taking a break from creating non-stop, and focusing on persevering ahead, livin' life. The closest I've got to being into sports is Martial Arts: I prefer to practice it, then to keep up with events. Well, actually, growing up I did enjoy the hell outta WWF (WWE) & Monster Trucks (Monster Jam)Big Foot, Awesome Kong & Grave Digger. But, that, was a long time ago . . . Well, kinda, I still enjoy & get a kick outta Monster Jam. All this PROFESSIONAL BULL RIDING, MONSTER JAM & NASCAR really keeps me super entertained, and above all, inspired: Hold On for 8 Seconds, Smash Your Way through HardshipMake It to the Finish Line no matter what. 

Alright. Let's Get Down to Brass Tacks:

Taking a break from ART, focused on NASCAR, MONSTER JAM & PROFESSIONAL BULL RIDING.

End.


*Oh yeah, I'm kinda working on finally completing Quechua Book II. *

🛑 HyperModern: 1OFF ⚠️

HYPERMODERN 

HyperModern: 1OFF Trilogy 

iNPUT • 1OFF 
• FailSafe • 1OFF 
• Death Lite • 1OFF

A new HyperModern series has been in the making for almost a solid year now. Here’s the thing, it’s not something I’ve been rigorously working on nonstop. It’s kinda funny ‘cause when I create I get into this super-manic mode.

This trilogy is something I’ve been sculpting at my leisure. Whenever the need to write, which is quite rare, which is quite odd ‘cause I really love to write… I mean, when I get inspired to write I enjoy it too damn much… Alright. Listen. Let’s get back down to brass tacks here: whenever I got the urge to write is when these upcoming pieces have been constructed 

Originally, this work of HyperModern fiction was supposed to be a stand alone-a one-off, if you will, but of course with my Super-Surreal Pop Mind couldn't just conjure up just one piece of art. 

If you wanna experience my HyperModern art work follow this link:

“By hook or by crook…”

And, a personal favorite, 
one I’ve been using since
I was a wee lad in the 80’s: 

“Go On, GIT!”
