Starting to wind down a very thorough #blueskyartshow #openhouse with something a little more traditional..

This entry into the #blueskyartshow #openhouse I suppose is tricky for some but is evolutionary for me- art as an intersection between design, memes & politics. Only a small fraction of a series in progress.

I warn folks that I post politics, art can absolutely be political. Some more than others ✊

#blueskyartshow #openhouse a hill I'll gladly defend is that memes are art too! Some more than others sure, but all still following in the footsteps of Duchamp's toilet & Warhol's soup cans. Plus bluesky's meme game is kinda 💩 and needs all the help it can get. #modernart

Interrupting our regularly scheduled artshow posts with WOO GO BEARS!

It's about damn time, guys. Well done! More please 👍

Next up for the #blueskyartshow #openhouse, some #woodworking. My dad refused to let me be lazy during summer breaks so I built a couple bookcases back in high school. Like riding a bike, turns out. A comment box, a speaker box, and a bird box. Notes in the alts..

Saved the receipts, #visualbasic code for the calculator and #MITscratch workspaces for the cats.

I took an early programming class at Woodbury years before & kinda tanked it (d'oh). Weird that when I went back for PoliSci I was all about coding for art's sake 🤔 4/4

(still #blueskyartshow #openhouse) After the circles I got my credit for the calculator & an apology from the prof, but the suspicion honestly kinda pissed me off. When the follow-up in Scratch called for more complex shapes, I kinda went to town #meowmix 😤😂 🧵 3/4

I didn't know, so went on ahead with the next assignment, a programming bit in MIT's Scratch. We were just supposed to code the drawing of circles in the corners. So again, I had fun with it. The cats & music, all me. First time with Scratch. Accidentally convinced the prof I wasn't a cheat. 🧵 2/4

#blueskyartshow #openhouse When I went back to school I stuck with classes I knew would be easy, one was a computer science gig with an early assignment to build a binary calculator in Excel. I had some fun with it and dressed it up like an old Tandy. Prof thought I'd cheated. #vh1storytellers 🧵 1/4

#blueskyartshow #openhouse my daughter was a Star Wars fan, for her 7th birthday I baked her an R2D2 cake. The next year I was a little short on time so Maul got his feet wet. #mixedmedia #thecakesyourelookingfor #robotchicken

Next up is my gouache phase for the #blueskyartshow #openhouse. All were sourced from ad copy, one was an assignment the rest were just for fun. #painting #thegap #detailsmagazine #armaniexchange #woodburyuniversity

For today's #blueskyartshow #openhouse I'm pulling bunches from the whole portfolio. Starting with some simple pen on paper, my earliest weapon of choice was a bic medium point. Notes in the alts... #drawing #anime #macross #valkyrie #amcmedia6

As respectfully as one can unsolicitedly call a complete stranger bland and forgettable?

Yeah I don't think you can.

Finally watched this one. Kinda torn.

It was made well. Good characters all around, apes carried the load just fine.

But it was absolutely the wrong story? 2nd half went waay off what I expected, and I liked my idea more. Wound up disappointed 😐 #planetoftheapes #filmsky #apestogetherstrong

This guy's local to Spain/Portugal. I joined the remote queue Tues eve & the waitlist was ~7k. My turn didn't come up until Sat night, list was +27k by then!
Have to imagine Iberian players are tired by now of servicing the whole globe & thank you AnnNormal1508! #pokemongo #pokegenie #tauros #olé

#Virtuosity had a few things going for it, though not the laughable 90's cgi. Peter Gabriel's 'Party Man' playing over the credits had me in the room after every show. On slow days I'd tell the usher to skip that house so I could dance around in peace (didn't mind the cleaning) #filmsky #musicsky

Yeah, I saw Google's denial, and I don't believe it for a second. What else were they going to say?

Trusting the AI companies that exist only and entirely due to industrial-scale theft is simply foolish.

Don't really have a whole bunch of #small to work with for today's #blueskyartshow, had to go all the way back to a previous life. Some display Starship Enterprises for some happy ants, and a few Blair Witch paperclips.. #filmsky

#blueskyartshow an #evening in Santa Monica. #Goldenhour indeed. Between a rock and a paved place. Also thank you (I guess?) for fixing the power outages so I can bring some new pics into the mix.
