One Of My Very Own…

I posted this gif a while back and on this Wednesday's post a comment was made explaining his situation.
He calls himself Mustang Wanted and he has quite a story.
After Russia invaded the Ukraine this guy went to Moscow and climbed one of its highest Stalinist style buildings with a huge ugly golden start on the top. He painted the top part of that star blue, so that it resembles the colors of the national flag of Ukraine.
This is Charlie. He is the star of the movie Charlie’s Country, and I suggest you Netflix it.
And now a collection of political silliness...
And let’s not forget, he gave
her one million dollars to attend his daughter’s wedding and she took one
million dollars to attend same.

But seriously, this man scares the shit out of me.
Yeah, back when politics were sane…

Rubick Cube art...falling aport...
Remember what I told you about sculpture transforming space...
Perfect example.

Computer manipulation?
The whole room - floor, ceiling and wall - are painted.
Just a matter of perspective?
No, the sculptures are just huge.

Photography as an art form...

A photograph is not created by a photographer. What they do is just to open a little window and capture it. The world then writes itself on the film. The act of the photographer is closer to reading than it is to writing. They are the readers of the world.

Me and the wife have been having a lot of make-up sex lately. I have to make-up that I am having sex with her.

This photo captures the sexual technique of these people perfectly.
Or maybe that's just me, but I found it very funny.

Teach them to identify leaves. There is probably an app for that, but I would use one of those big paperback books made for just such identification. It's also fun.
And, of course, let them wonder through art museums at their own speed. Answer their questions the best you can, but basically just follow them around.

I wonder why the cops don't use this.
No word if that thing is also electrified. The bad guy is sure acting like it.

He must be hung like a....oh, never mind.

Let's take another look at this.
Things that work exactly as
they were designed is a real turn-on for me.

This man was jumping across a void in a roof, accidentally stepped on the air hose, and his nail gun hit is leg...twice.
Just that quick, two four inch nails and, as he wrote at the time of the above photo, still no pain.
Well, that is one lucky guy. BOTH nails missed all bone by going between the femur and the kneecap.

The apartments at 310, 320,
and 330 Esplanade in Pacifica, California are literally hanging over the edge
of a cliff. Rain, storms, and rising ocean levels are steadily eroding the
sandy bluffs on which the apartments are built. After the El Nino storms of
2009 and 2010, tons of rock were piled on the beach and the cliffs were covered
with fiber-reinforced concrete, but the erosion-prevention measures have failed
in the recent storms.
We might all get ready to accept this sort of thing "normal."

Have a friend who got a new girlfriend and spend many nights at her place. When he returned to his place he had a letter from the electric company that he owed a shitload of money. Not understanding how he could possibly owe that much money, he walked around looking for an open window or whatever. He found his stove that he had left on at 400 degrees for over a week. Bummer.
He does the same thing over and over and over and over again and really expects our awe each time he replicates it. Sad, that.
Not all that funny, but to be interesting doesn't always require humor.

This is a very short clip of
his exploits and I strongly suggest you take the time to watch it.

And there is no way for me to
explain why to you...but I will try. I love strange juxtaposition and these
pieces nail it. It doesn’t have to change your life to be good, it just has to
occupy your mind…and maybe put a sly smile on your face.

PEOPLE BEHAVING BADLY
In 1907, Charles Morgan of
Broome Station sent this telegram to Henry Prinsep, the Chief Protector of
Aborigines for Western Australia, in Perth: "Send cask arsenic exterminate
aborigines letter will follow."
Louvre Museum. The Grande
Galerie abandoned during World War II. The priceless art was hidden in barns and such and not one piece was lost.
War is not only hell, but there is seldom any innocents...
Miner Boy:
Children were cheap labor
in the mines. This boy spent 10 hours a day in that outfit with only the light
from that tallow wick lamp. He cleaned & played the part of a
"canary" (kids were easier to replace than good miners). He was
probably Finnish or Swedish & indentured to the company for the purpose of
paying his fathers debts. The unions fought bloody battles to get these
children out of the coal mines.
