Updated Fashions KunstMatrix Exhibition

Yeah, it’s just lil’ ol’ me again, with an updated version of the SL Fashions kunstmatrix exhibition.

I’ve taken out the greyish matte-boards and brought the size of the image up to the size of the frame, and it makes it a LOT easier to see the things, plus you get the idea that it’s an item for sale, not a print for the wall.

I’ve put the entrance below my “more” line, so it wouldn’t mess up the download of this page too heavily, otherwise it could take a while.

What if this were your Homepage?

Wow! If this were your homepage, you’d be home-free, because an exhibition right on your front page is going to draw people to it, and plenty of views will be the result!

You could explain your whole concept, exactly what it is you do, on your website homepage just by sticking a gallery into it, somewhat like this one, which explains the Bardo in easy-to-understand visual graphics.

You can add sound to it if you like, but I prefer not to do that unless there’s a compelling reason to have the sound.

In this case, there isn’t. Besides, what if you’re already listening to one of our albums, like “Hot Night in Hell” or “In Your Face” or “In Your Mother’s Face”. Continue reading

Limping Into Port

Cover of the joke file book that’s on its way to the printers.

I just made this cover, as requested, for my long-overdue Joke File Book. We’re sending it in to IPG, and they should have a proof for us within a week or so, after which we’ll be shipping them out to folks who intend to attend my Comedy Workshop series, celebrating the start of WW III.

I’ve been taking a pollen-break, and haven’t made it out of bed until tonight, and that’s only for a short time.

I’m working on books, workshops and ancient materials exhibits, all of which I’m doing mostly in my head, but I have managed to put together a strong presentation of the Objects of Daily Use that were found by Pendlebury in 1935 and 1936 excavations in the City of Akenaten, which is today called “Amarna”.

I’ve prepared hundreds of flips for your use, mostly in the form of black-line mandalas that you can color in, like a miniature coloring book.

You can spend anywhere from a few seconds to a few hours making each one — it’s entirely up to you how you dedicate time to it, but the time DURING the coloration is strictly limited to only thoughts about the mandala, nothing else.

Particularly don’t think of a blue hippopotamus when coloring-in the black & White image I’ve prepared for you to work in.

That’s why I call it the “Blue Hippo Exercise”. Don’t think of a hippopotamus while painting the thing; that’s the whole deal.

I have plans to use this in workshops, not entirely sure how I’ll get them to you in time for a workshop, but I’m working on that issue as we speak.

Well, if I don’t send this off, it might sit here for another week, waiting for me to grab the chance to keep you informed on the goings-on here, so that’s it for the moment, Blessings to you, pass the Blessings on is the secret.

See You At The Top!!!

God World Tokens

What is a “God World in My Pocket”? Well, it used to be a z-scale miniature railway scene stuffed into a tiny velvet jewelry box, but that’s awfully hard to carry, and expensive to ship, so I’ve modified it into a FLIP, and I’ll do my best to tell you why:

The God World Token is an extension of that long-ago project, in the form of a hand-painted, signed & dated coin flip surrounding a coin of choice.

It is similar in function to a Thangka, powered in this case by a somewhat heavy solid copper silver or gold coin, which acts as an “Induction Ring”, which is an engineering item produced along quantum mechanical lines. It works, and that’s good enough for me.

The coin assists in other ways, as well. Continue reading

Games YOU Can Make in Blankos Block Party

Here are some group games that could be created and played in Blankos Block Party, but in the case of some of them, you’d have to keep score yourself until they make a “score counter” and assign points to the teams and team members.

In the meanwhile, just remember the score, like you’re playing tennis or badminton, right? But don’t be like the tennis players, to whom love is nothing. Continue reading

The Downloadables

apocalypse background forms new ZOOM game/activity

Here’s an application for the Godd™ Engine — a complete set of ZOOM backgrounds that can be used to create an atmosphere of commonality, meaning that everyone seems to be in more or less the same space.

This can work with Norton Street, too.

What you do is, when you have a good screenshot on your screen, COMPOSE it first, then when it’s EXACTLY right, press the “F4” button on your keyboard. This will send a screenshot to your screenshot file. Continue reading

Keep On Going

 

Yes, we’re in the earliest stages of a full-combat civil war, neighbor against neighbor, family against family and brother and sister against brother and sister, but that doesn’t mean you have the time to put on the brakes and get off the planet, and it surely doesn’t mean to go buy a blue or grey uniform, at least not right away.

First of all, it’s blue and red uniforms, like the teams — and secondly, the only war I’ve ever recommended is inside a computer gaming engine, like the Godd™ Engine, or the engine driving Diablo 2R or the one behind TF2.

Real shooting wars are stupid.

First of all, nothing is solved. At some point, negotiations are still necessary, and even dictators don’t always get their way.

I’ve made no secret of the fact that I have, when my reflexes were a lot better than they are at the age of 80, challenged the top gamers to duels and matches, and have managed to secure the title of “Runner-Up” in a number of two-player games.

I’ve even played against Tokay and Thrush and other early gaming champions in Quake and Doom style arenas. Continue reading

Selling Your Virtual Sculpture

Back in the previous century, I was a sculptor working in bronze, acrylics, wood, glass and plaster, to create pieces that delved deeply into the mystique formulated by my sculpture teacher Renzo Fenci, at Otis Art Institute, where I studied sculpture and 3D art, as “a grouping of interpenetrating masses”, and that’s how I sculpt.

I take masses and cram them together, pass them through one another and in other ways distort and adapt, to create a finished product that is in fact a self-contained universe, similar to the one in which we now seem to live. Continue reading
