Nice.

And the locals let him get away with this? COOL!

I love street artists and this is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. bravo !

anybody familiar with bansky? you don't have to agree with the politics but the art is really cool.

That is off the wall, man.

I loved it.

Glad there's a new thread. The last one was crappie.

at what point do you just say " OK, I'm done"

I could see where you would be consumed with a project like this and imagine new images at all hours of the day and night.
and it would be hard to stop

This must have taken days -- you can see the shadows move in the same patter indicating the passage of much time. A real labor of love. Thank you Killgore and Charles.

Weird, but cool. Wonder how long it took to do all that.

I thought MY mind was twisted . . .

Definitely not ordinary.

good one

Very nice. Think what this artist could do with time, and color.
I think that the outdoors section, before and after the cutaway to the interior, was done in a day. It looks like it gets A.M. light at the start, and dusk at the end.
Hope he has bodyguards. Covering a current gang tag is not usually wise.

Ain't your taxes he's playing with. That's Argentina. Not saying it's entirely right, but the cultural relativism in me says that the rest of the world isn't so paranoid about how their money is used and abused. Art is viewed differently around the world. Sometimes it's viewed to be a private entity, and sometimes it's viewed to be a public entity.

I don't actually see your point here.

Maybe I should be putting this on the Syrian dumbo thread:
Hizbullah TV rejects German ban as unjust

Al-Manar TV Director Abdullah Kassir asserts the German government acted on a request from what he called "Zionist lobbies" in Europe in deciding to ban broadcasts of the Arabic language network.

The site has quite a few pics - this person is quite talented. Look at the site, the tabs on the left, top tab, entitled "walls"...prolific, thats for sure.

I like grafitti when done right. Messy tags and gang scribbling is not, to understate, aesthetically pleasing. Most artistic tagging is not done by gangs. I've seen railroad cars that look like they belong in a museum. I don't like it on the back of my house, or my local businesses. I DO like it on the backs of buildings that can only be seen from the train or subway, which otherwise would look hideous or drab. I like it when tags make the object look better, which is usually, when the tags are on a run-down building that no slum-lord is going to paint or otherwise beautify.

I am quite sure I am in the minority with this viewpoint. Nyeh. :p

re: #33 pat

You don't.

It's what copper does.

Hope you're not spending a crapload on copper polishing stuff. Just use baking soda and a cheap vinegar. Mix up a paste. Plaster it on and rub it in.

This does remind me of the guy that did animation for Zappa : City of Tiny Lights

Nice video. The guy is prolly a genius. But also quite out of his mind. Whats with all the people coming out of people. Strange.

But I did mean it when I said it was cool regardless.

A Marine and Airman are doing their business in urinals next to each other in an airport bathroom. They engage in some small talk, mostly some pot shots at the others branch of service. They both finish around the same time.

The Airman goes to the sink and starts to wash his hands while the Marine just heads for the door. The Airman looks at him disgusted and says, At least in Air Force boot camp they teach us to wash our hands after taking a piss. The Marine looks at him and says, In Marine Corps boot camp they teach us not to piss on ours.

re: #48 Harry Tuttle

Ok understood.

I do agree it is cool.

So it's the taxes of the Argentinians he is vandalizing.

It's all good then.

It's their taxes, but if they don't mind the graffiti, then what harm is it? Some people are virulently opposed to graffiti here that it's forced the government to use tax money to erase it from walls, billboards, etc. But over there it's just part of the community where the government and police force have better things to spend their money on. And honestly, I think the same philosophy should be applied here. Instead of spending that money on erasing the graffiti, how about spending it on preventing kids from going out and doing senseless graffiti or building places where it can be contained? All I'm saying is that it might not be right to graffiti and vandalize, but I oppose my taxes being spent on trying to stop it by simply erasing it. That doesn't work and will never work.

Fantastic

re: #49 legalpad

Glad I could assist. That article is the centerpiece, the main plan for these radicals, and Obama is "their man". I only wish more people would realize that all else is peripheral.

Anyone who thinks Obama is going to be a "center/left" president is deluding themselves. Also, thinking that he "may be susceptible" to influence from former Clintonistas? That's another nonthinking statement. He already is a puppet, and there's already hands inside and strings attached. Susceptible? Laughable. If Obama has any original thoughts and plans, they are the same thoughts and plans that his Communist friends and associates have. The man was nursed at the teat of Communism, lived his entire life from damn-near conception to the present in the presence of communist teachers, and some here seriously think that he is going to be "center/left"? Only if you drastically redefine the center.

Everybody does realize that was chalk. Right?

Reminded me a little bit of Terry Gilliam's Monty Python pieces. However, Blu has taken things to a whole new level and is just a wee bit more creepy than Gilliam's stuff. Very interesting, to say the least.

And therein lies the problem. I have avoided those threads that scream for Conservatives to move left, to move the center to the left. The Leftists ran a pure socialist, pandered to the extreme left with most of the also-rans and we ran a RINO. What would have happened had we ran a conservative? We will never know, and from the tone of many republicans (small r for a reason), we may never again know.

i rather liked this and I am not all that fond of current modern art because in many cases they don't seem to get craftsmanship and stuff like that. But in this case it all seems to work.

given how long it would take and that it would be done in the day time i suspect he had permission. i would suspect it took more than a few weeks to do this as each movement is a sept vedio setting.

almost reads like a artist book which is what i got my MFA in.

I could really live another thirty eight years, and, never hearing Magic Man again, still recall each single note and nuance. It's gotten so I have to wonder, are these songs all like, public domain now, and thats why we get to hear the same 200 until Armageddon?

Ok, so I'm gonna brag.
My eldest daughter, the 13 yo, is in JR ROTC at her Jr. High.

She got promoted to PFC the other night!
Her CO is a retired Gunny..he's tough. She's ADHD/ODD and has he ever given her a run for the money! Her behavior at home has improved so much!

Of course, I've spoken with Gunny Slaughter (yes, that really is his name) and he and I are on the same page.

Two weeks ago she said she wouldn't go back to JrROTC next year, but today she said she is.

Anyway, today was our town's Christmas parade,and the platoons marched in it...they looked so sharp!

I am so proud of her and it was kinda cool to get to pin her chevrons on her collar the other night!

And yes, girls, curvy is better. Who wants a bony butt? not me.

Can't guarantee this, but the host of the show just emailed me to say he was going to mention VI Day! Don't know at what point during the show, if ever, but it might be worth a listen.

re: #145 The Pulchritudinous Patriot
In the enlisted ranks of the Marine Corps, you get your stripes "pinned on".A Marine on each side of you, they count 1,2,3 and punch you on the upper arm at the same time. Some guys got really hurt, but usually only if they were punks. Only that rank and higher could "pin" you.

re: #161 Macker

I just put your latest post at the top of the VI Day page, in the "Best of the Best" section. Nice job!

Four more punished in Joe the Plumber searches:

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Two more senior managers at the Ohio agency where computers were used to dig up information about "Joe the Plumber" have been suspended without pay for their roles in the searches, an official at the agency said Friday.

Fred Williams, the Department of Job and Family Services' assistant director, will be placed on two weeks unpaid suspension beginning Monday, spokeswoman Scarlett Bouder said in a statement. Doug Thompson, the department's deputy director of child support, is facing a four-week unpaid suspension, also starting on Monday,

Two other agency employees are facing disciplinary action based on conclusions reached Thursday by Ohio's government watchdog, she said.

Being involved "for the children" in my state as a foster parent, I run like hell when the they say "for the children."

The Child Welfare system budget in WA has gone up annual to the tune of 12%.
But services on the ground are being cut. Lot's of new middle management to ensure efficiency, and to study ways to better deliver services.

A tour de force of sick from a true nihilist. yuck.

Kinda what I was thinking, only you put it succintly. Although I do like the technique and acknowledge the artistic ability of the person who did this, it is exactly as you describe. I don't dig post-modern, especially post-modern nihilism. Essentially postmodernism as I see it, a celebration of nothingness, meaninglessness, randomness. Postmodern Nihilist, all of the above, only with an added tint of decay, death, ugliness, morbidity, and darkness. I mean, "Blinded by the Light" by Springsteen fits the first bill, any video by Tool fits the second.

here ya'll go.

re: #215 2by2

it is what it is there were reports the the CIA funded abstract expressionist shows as a counter weight to social realism which was all leftist. and offen part of soviet socialist realism (dreck) personally I don't like jackson p. all that much as his work had no effect on mine.

TUKWILA - At least one person was hit by gunfire in a shooting Saturday afternoon inside Southcenter Mall as it was filled with pre-Thanksgiving shoppers, witnesses said.

An off-duty sergeant with the Washington State Patrol at the scene said the victim is undergoing CPR after being hit.

Two people were put in handcuffs by officers at the scene, the trooper said.

Other witnesses told KOMO News they heard at least three shots fired just after 3:30 p.m. in front of the Forever 21 store near the mall's food court.

The gunfire sparked immediate panic, and people started running for the exits.

Police raced to the scene in their patrol cars, lights flashing.

Shoppers are being evacuated from the mall, and officers are trying to determine exactly what happened and whether a shooter remains at large.

More updates will be posted as information becomes available.

Where have I been? I've never heard of that program or even that station. Usually at that end of the dial all you hear is Mexican norteno or banda...or the dreaded 16 hour long Mexican National Anthem. It's not only dreaded due to its length but because that's what I wake up to every morning. It's so obnoxious, one is forced to get up and turn off the radio. Anyway, I'll tune in to the show in a few minutes and report back.

re: #236 Wishing

Well Geek Squad double agent was here, opened up UPS package with 2d new motherboard I've received from them and as he took it out of the bag, a capacitor fell off. Literally fell off!
So no new motherboard, didn't put in new HD (although he ran some tests and in fact my existing HD does have some sort of problem, maybe a scratch or something on it). So on Monday the Geek Squad is calling to make another appointment to deliver a 3rd motherboard and also to put me in touch with the head of Best Buy (I think he meant the head of Best Buy Customer relations) to see if they could "do something" for me. The reason we didn't schedule a new appointment is because the Geek Squad's computers were...DOWN.
It's either laugh or cry so I've chosen to laugh.

Evening everyone. That's a pretty impressive video that definitely shows a lot of creativity.

OT:
Just how stupid does the AP think we are. Since when is a 1 day upturn in the DJIA equate with a rally? It's one day. It takes more than a day to have a rally in the market, especially since Monday could see a 800 point decline just as surely as a 300 point advance.

The market rallied on news of who Obama was considering for Treasury Secretary, but that's a one day event. Let's see what else Obama has to say. How will the markets react to his ideas for getting us out of a recession. His tax and spend program that he's only now beginning to lay out (still with no specificity because to do so would be to admit that it really is a tax hike on everyone - since most everyone has money in the stock markets, any decision to allow the Bush cuts to expire will mean significant tax hikes for many).

Hi ya Hoops - I will tell her - and thank you!

socialist realism = stalinist art
