After a short discussion with peoplel about the role of "Shooting-My-Lazer-Face," in my latest rendition of Zombie Warfare and it's relevancy with today's politics and growing demand of entertainment, I was curious to look up some interesting facts about the MEME.

http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/shoop-da-whoop-im-a-firin-mah-lazer

As others  suggested, showing off my lazer face was not the inital desire but once I noticed I did it, well, there was no going back. I found it interesting that even though I was not aware of the meme, it had found a way into my artistic expression. (Nothing new under the sun right?)

  Looking at it I was made to ask what other signiture themes can be sighted in the piece that might have been influenced from the land of  St. Elsewhere and could I find it like when I was young and spent hours looking for Waldo?

  The days of Comic genius seem to be so far from me now, as I get older.

  ( I mean think about it: I lost a scout because he believes:  I think you should work on cleaning up your work before looking to get published

I mean this as lightly as possible, but I had scouted you because I had thought you were ironic art shitposting. But I think you take yourself more seriously than that.)

  As if taking pride in ones work, comical or serious is a bad thing.

 Where is the appreciation for laughter anymore?

Everyday my art is achieving and touching someone's life to make a difference.

I don't always get it right but when I do get it right man or man do I get it right.

Gregg Housh of the: https://www.patreon.com/gregghoushshow/overview  an activitst of eclectic tastes and interestes viewed one of my old pieces and fell in love 4 times. It has been so long since I even took interest in that story and art or the motivations behind it that I published in the subtext. "Some Stories Should Never Be Forgotten."

Considering Housh supporters Novermber 5th celebrations and considers that day important to the world. He really appreciated the hidden messages found in the content.

The point is he is one of those individuals I hope to continue fueling with ideas and encouraging with kind words that what he is seeking to do is worth the effort. Especially if he is willing to show me some love as well.

Just to have someone as cool as these guys into my work is an amazing achievment.

I am not that guy.

I have grown very secure in my art style and feel others should as well. I encourage conversation about art, I don't encourage cheating or disloyatly to one's identity or the development of ones brand for favor of someone elses presentation. This defeats the purpose of creation, and sets a horrible presedent.

Plagurism is more than just taking the words of someone else and calling it your own. Copyright infringment is more than just taking the Youtube post and suggesting you are the one that produced the music and idea and had nothing to do with the production.

No when we learn to love ourselves then we won't have these minor poblems and suffer less from the blockage of creation. We expand and develop great ideas.

There are youtube video's that support the idea that are biased and according to GDC standards:  Shaddy Saffadi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYbYvImd7Bw (Concept Art is Dead). Yet none of this is achieveable if we are asked to be like "Everyone Else."

I spoke to a freind who I think is a great artist, this is what he had to say about art.

~I believe you simply have to let go a bit of that anticipation for what *should* be, and embrace what *is*. There is an audience for you today, and even if most people are couch potatoes, there is a way to reach them. You just have to not stop creating, and educate yourself in how to publish your own works and reach out to people in this digital day and age.

Books and art and music is by FAR not dead - it's bigger than ever, since it's more accessible than ever. More people want to learn about art and music, and books are being read and listened to every day by people from all walks of life. The future will be ruled not by the engineers, programmers and left-brainers, but much more of the right-brainers because we need creativity and soul when the computers have replaced humans for most of this left-brain work.

Don't get discouraged - see it as a challenge to fight through it and do what you feel is right. Search within yourself, and you will find what calls you.

 (I am keeping this artist anonymos because he does not know I am talking about him. He might read this and be interested, who knows.)

 I would love to work Shaddy because he believes in, "The Progression of The Design," which is fundamentally what we as artists, all believe. We would just like to be able to keep a little of ourselves as we journey.

Aint no rest for the wicked is still an awesome song. I listen to it from time to time hoping that the group, Cage the Elephant do not suffer the same demise as Chemical Romance. Gerard Way's The Umbrella Academy I am really rooting for. The world will forever introduce him is the front man of a rock band who failed at animation and took forever to get someone to look into his visual production. I really hope Netflix runs the program. Giving Gerard what he always wanted. Artistic Publication.

  I have always felt a certain tie to the aspirations of Gerard Way, his vision was massive and explosive and his illustrating skills unmatched to date. His songs have a verve all there own and I was happy to say I was a fan.

 Then Cage The Elephant came and I suppose my love for Punk Rock will never die.

https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/adventvoice/no-rest-for-the-wicked

If I could get the world to embrace what they began. If I could get the world to see the need. Then a little piece inside of me would have felt the world a better place. Cause there anit no rest for the wicked, so the good should grow on trees.

 Looking at the drone view's of the inequality found around the globe and how The WORLD BANK suggests South Africa to be the starkest of examples. Johannesburg comapred to Bloubusrand reminds me of Orange County California after the fires, compared to Los Angeles. Yet pictures can do very little for those whom do not live in it in aiding one to conceptualize how devasting such occurances can be. Hawaii is still suffering due to the lava that surges. All that can be hoped for is that those whom are suffering feel that urge to rebuild from past cause their ain't no rest for the wicked, they have mouths to feed, bills to pay, and aint nothing in the world for free.

So I was in a hot discussion lately with some new co-hourts in making trouble and I was given this:

http://customerservicewolf.com/

I think is a great site that makes fun of the times in which we all have to work that part time job.

I love how there is so much talk about the increase in the job market in the great country of America and then as a side note they talk about all of the burger joints they are building and the customer service positions open to the public.

Yeah that is what I went to college for, to earn a degree in Customer Service.

Now this is not a put down on Customer Service, I worked those jobs in high-school and really appreciated the experiance. It taught me how to say what I mean and mean what I say.

  What I don't like is the idea that after the hours of grueling and studying and classes and dealing with teachers that really did not  care about my effort or grade point average and just want their check at the end of the day, that all I could look forward to after graduation was another retail job- Which I did not need a degree in Bio-engeneraring  to earn Manager of the Year awards. So when the tabloids and the news papers cheer about the job market and the approval rating of another fast-food chain I am made to laugh with the Customer Service Wolf.

  Thank you to my many friends that guided me to this site: You all are wonderful.

 Today was a pretty sad day for building upon the topic of ART. I am hoping things change in time and the people I interact with begin to see their own potentials differently. Who knows? Especially after a conversation I had today with two very talented Tattoo artists.

  I frequent this parlor from time to time. Every time I need a hair cut, which is every 6 months, I will dip into the parlor right next to my barbershop and ask them little questions about their medium and choices of design. They really don't like the idea that I never come if for a Tattoo and are always turned off by the idea of speaking to me because they personally feel out of place in their worlds. The eclectic nature of the Tattoo has always been considered Tabboo in a lot of cultures. Tabboo or just for the Deviant and so when a person as clean cut as I walk in and say, "Lets talk about Art." They immediately get this look of not understanding the relevance.

  I ask, after noticing this response," Is it really so hard to understand how Tattoo's have a place in the world of Art, even when every piece of Art is built upon the intial, "Line?" Be it a cell-shaded line, reverse-negative images, dynamic script and character design, to the 3D image rendering, it all begins with the line. 

Line upon Line, here a little, there a little.

 So because we know it begins with a line, how can we not reveolutionize art without adding the Tattoo artist to the group of thinkers that can assit in this venture. Mind you, most of them don't want to talk. At least the few I ran into today. They did not think they were the best ones to talk to about ART. Which made me scratch my head. Illustrationists have a lot to thank the Tattoo Artist for. WIthout that fundamental understanding of Line work, the story board would never unfold and many of us would still be looking at white canvases. Now would I want to get Barry Allen (The Flash) kissing his Girlfriend Tattoo'd to my back, no, but I know I could if I had the right Tattoo artist willing to try. He or she would make a killing off of me too, because that is a lot of detailed work and takes a very fine hand to re-produce.  

 Now on Esty I can find a lot of Tattoo designs being placed on Canvas, they are being sold cheap too. 30.00 a piece. What a dragg. Great idea though for making some extra cash. One day that piece of art is going to raise in some big bucks as vintiage art from some kid that dropped out of college and I am going to be so happy for them. They began a reveolution in art in a big way. If it doesn't it is not because no one went to the parlors and told them they need to think about expanding their idea.

 I did that today and I hope they pay heed, at least call and say, "You know, you might be right."

I have an artistice love affaire that I can not share with my family.

Friends like @Qira @NyanaCreation @HeadMistressSeven  @Cyberdevil @ThiefOfVoid @Dahila-K @bmesias063 @Spedmallet @CohensKleineMotte

@XwaynecoltX  @Linda-mota and my numerous fans make my avenue of expression here on NewGrounds that much more enjoyable and sacred because it is something I don't talk to with anyone else to or that, I can. It is nice to know they are around to lend an ear.  Oh, my family know that I am artist and have had this raw talent since I was young. What they don't know is...well maybe they do~ I don't know what they know~ All I know is I am so tired of being haunted by the idea of them never knowing of  the wonderful things I can do with my hands.

   To be in a home where everyone asks you, "What do you think about this? How do you feel about that?" Knowing they would never understand because they have never been where you have been or desire to listen.

This idea that movies, books, prose, art and liturature is just not popluar anymore and our generation does not have the patience to ingest all of the information that is infront of them or wants to has never hindered me from producing a few thousand pages of works that I hid under my bed or in volumes, none will see until....

That is an open-ended possibility and dealing with unimagintive people in my daily life makes me all the more greatful for Newgrounds and all it has to offer for us creative writers and illustrators. An inactive imagination is so disturbing to think about. You mean to tell me, there is nothing but what is in front of you that matters. Half the reason why hanging out with "Dead-Head's" did not last too long. The same chords for a musical number with not desire to cut a chord or breakthrough a monotinous routine would set me off. My artistic expression has been set on an idea of breaking limits. erradicating our comfort zones, Insisting that none of us   die with our music still inside of us.

When I was 17 I had a dream that spurs me to this day. I was roused from my slumber and could not drown the pain of it. Even a blazing hot shower. When I was done I was so red, the steam took an hour to fade from my face. Blood wailing, I swore to myself I'd do everything in my power to never be a 35 year old, made to hide from the world because I suffered from a lack of purpose. In my dream I slept in my mothers basement on her couch because of all the excuses that have filled the world with defeatisim to the brim.

  I never wanted to be made to stand in someone's soup kitchen as Olvier Twist, asking for a, "L'ill More?" Never!

I did not like the idea that "to be humble," meant no ambition and I would be demonized for it.

I have befriended an artist by the name of Emma Visca. She is a Scottish artist dubbed "The Naked Painter," who loves to quote Allen Ginsberg, who said, "Follow your inner moonlight; don't hide the madness." She has epilespy, but you would never know it. With this condition: (and I really don't like using the phrase but due to my lack of a better expression I am forced to suggest her extra brain activity is such) she can devise methods of creation that allow for a:

Countdown to her exhibition at Gracefield Art Centre for Spring Fling 26th-28th May 2018. Come along to Bonnie Scotland and spend some time with artists from Dumfries and Galloway. If you happen to be in her neck of the woods I would suggest supporting her.

Then there is Ed Piskor: Author of the New York Times best-selling series Hip Hop Family Tree.  who I really want to get to know or at least send a letter to  one day and just let him know how much his art is appreciated by artists like me that believe in the Freedom Of Expression.

This list goes on and on of the number of men and women that have the gift and I suppose one day I would love to put all of them together in one folio volume and find myself through my artistic expression in the back, tucked away nicely in the number or artists that refused to "Die with their music still inside of them." I want so much to share this ambition with my family because no matter how secure we are in our lives we should always seek to push the envelope and reach for the stars.

Natasa Ilincic is from Edinburgh Scotland and she is a wonderful artist with a real smooth style. I always imagine Elfin Lied Opening theme song Lilium to fill her home as she draws. She has just that fine-tuned a hand.

This is certainly what fills my own home as I contemplate on the next discourse I can express through the white canvas. I was 5 years old when my father asked me, "Son, what do you want to do with your life?" I was 5 years old when I told him, "I want to give the world art and keep them dreaming of a better tomorrow, remind them of why we hunt for prosperity, I want to give the world hero's." I stayed in Comic-shops for a long time in my youth. Studied every mode of expression I could find. Then I heard there were those seeking to stomp out the need for liturature, prose, poems, art. So my love for art became intertwined. Believing if she is not fulfilled then I must satisfy her.

I wanted to go into further depth of Thief of Void & her adventures with the Dream Weaver by sharing with you all a minor explination behind the motivation for this project.

https://avproductionsblog.wordpress.com/2018/05/23/illustrated-shorts-explained/

So much more can be added and discussed and I suppose that is risk we take when begining discussions that prove to be relevant to family and friends. I really felt I could not say enough of some of the issues I bring up. Nor could I say enough about the number of years it took me to finally be able to say to someone, none of this information is given with callous intentions. Merely a desire to never be forgotten in the flow of time.

Thank you all so much for reading and showing your supprot for this project.

I did this story because I was asked to forget the past. To let things die, to not even try to explain why.

https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/adventvoice/thief-of-void

Then I think about my little brother and my son who for nearly a decade or more if they never read this illustrated short will continue to not know why men like the Dream Weaver exist. Why there is a group of men and women out there that keep their eyes on the horizon and wait for the sun to rise upon their desires and aspirations. It really burned me up to think my little brother or my son might grow up in this world thinking a real life role model did not care enough about them to stay around in there moments of  economic, social, and everyday depression.

https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/adventvoice/thief-of-void-and-the-dream-weaver-dig-deep

I don't think I will ever truely be forgiven for it. I don't think I will ever truly forgive myself, but at least I was able to take the opportunity to enlighten those important to me on the "Why" of such an important issue.

I sought to illustrate just little pieces of some really important real life events that have been set into motion, which daily as I read the paper, was clearly so those of Meritcratic mindset, those of and uncontrable need to retaine wealth off the backs of the everyday layman, that I personally survived in hopes of having enough to care for the people I love.

https://avproductionsblog.wordpress.com/2017/05/07/the-state-of-things/

https://adventgradepress.com/?s=Workforce+solutions

https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/adventvoice/thief-of-void-the-dream-weaver-page-2

Because of the 50 year defecit seen in America, canniblism ensued and all of the heathens came out to play.  Seven years of pushing back supports of castrastion of men, of land grabs, job security, and simply the right to walk down the street without the influence of someone in an orgainzed gang.

https://avproductionsblog.wordpress.com/2017/09/27/3-days-on-kings-hwy/

Men like the Dream Weaver were asked to let it all go. That is a tough pill to swallow and I wanted to illustrate for everyone that knows me just how hard it is for that to happen for people. I can use words all day, I can sing songs about it but I don't think anything really changes until we can see it. I don't think anything really changes until we can visuals ourselves in that persons shows, realte with them, want to help, cry with them, or be as strong as them to have gone through it all and be able to say, "I survived!"

https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/adventvoice/thief-of-void-the-dream-weaver-page-3

I also liked the fact that dispite the Dream Weaver's gult of leaving his son and his failures in life, The Thief of Void can talk to him about love and moving forward and that there is a castle in the sky waiting for him. That was a nice touch, somthing Dreams are made of.

After displaying my little friend I was so surprised at the response. Such an invention is worth everything you (My fans)  have put into it. Loving the applause and celebration of it's existance and reason for being. "If our castle should some how fall, it will be no where but here."

   Loyalt,y like that  are what dreams are made of. Makes anyone secure in love and happy to have someone around. Would never have imagined I could have found that in my "Dreams of Drone." I am glad I did though. I am also very happy to have https://nyanacreation.newgrounds.com/   view my work and find such a wonderful song to help celebrate my little friend.

  RobotDay2018 is going to be something very special this year I can tell. I really hope all of you can make it out for this jam fest of creative ideas and support  https://mindchamber.newgrounds.com/news/post/1012875 and his very eclectic range of ideas to generate more support for NG's. What a wonderful world of creation we have been allowed to share in.

My "Dream of Drone," was developed off of the idea that some time soon our world is going to become a lot more technologically advanced. Recently I have heard about the idea of cameras in grocery stores having the ability to mark what you buy and without having any of your physcial information will be able to transfer money from your bank, pay-pal or credit cards right into the store for your corresponding purchase. (All of this from a camera.) Now I am sure Amazon moguls like Bezo who has the money secured to have his own security system to safe gaurd him fron Identity theft will find a way to sell this idea to the general public. He will assure people that none of new tech or robotics will harm anyone. They are not set out to digitally bankrupt anyone, just make it more convient for a person to shop for their food.

  My little owl frined has glitches, when it gets beside itself it believes it is entitled to do as it likes. Take what it wants just because he is flying around the city and influeced by the enviroment it is viewing. This glitch has to constantly be offset with positive feedback and a daily course in programming eticate...not so much teaching the drone table manners, but teaching it that just because I walk into the store; I am not asking you to take money out of my bank account.

  In case of the owl, Just because we happen to go to the bank, I am not asking you to preload my bitcoin wallet, by cyphoning from automated online systems.
