My hits have fallen off by half.

The US is holding steady, but Europe is drying up. It may be the anti-meme campaign or something else, but I can do nothing about it.
I can't drum up viewers the old fashion way of giving away real dollars in Key Packets.

  
Because I'm using my real dollars for Dollar Art.

So I printed out a bunch of trick $20 bills.

 When folded they look real...irresistible when finding on a sidewalk.
 

 When opened I insult them for their stupidity.

 Nothing so endearing than a big old fuck you when meeting new friends.

THE ART AND THE ARTY

That is the worst advice about art I've ever read.

There are many people who think that art is still about capturing a scene, a task co-oped by the camera long ago.

 And streets like that have been painted thousands of times. Where is the originality? Where is the story? It is like a writer spending every page describing a scene. What's the point?

Here is a picture with a story.

 ^^A1^^

As a public artist, I have spent many hours thinking about what constitutes good public art. A murky business that, but the one thing I know for sure is that repeating the same thing over and over just doesn't cut it.


My advice to graffiti artists is to dig deep and come up with messages you think worth sharing.

I don't even know what the artist meant by this and I favor it over fat letters of someone name.

And you still get to lurk about town in the dead of night evading the authorities.

^^A2^^

Here's a piece I stumbled upon recently that I really like.

I was thinking the artist hauled a burnt-out bus into a gallery maybe to symbolized the deterioration of society or something. But no, it's painted on.

The caption read: "This graffiti artist turned a block wall into a bus." First of all, that guy is no graffiti artist. He is an Artist. Second of all, that is not "a bus" it is a depiction of a bus.

But like I said, I like it very much. And notice how he left the rubble piled against the back.

There are snapshots and then there is photography.

The art of writing has long intrigued me.

“I love to write and I assure you I write regularly … But I write for myself, for my own pleasure. And I want to be left alone to do it.” 
— from the desk of J.D. Salinger 

Sherlock Holmes' place, 221B Baker Street

Imagine creating a character that is more well known than almost everyone else on the planet.

PEOPLE BEHAVING ODDLY

This oldie but goodie reminds me of me when I used to drink.

^^B1^^

Home burglar wipes off all his fingerprints then looks directly into the camera.

Wouldn't you wear a shirt that is less describable?  Then he steals a shovel and leaves a more expensive tool kit. 
WHO STEALS A FUCKING SHOVEL!?
^^B2^^

She learned all of her moves from my wife.
^^B3^^

This is wonderful.

This is that racist prick who got his ass kicked by a Muslim grandpa.

OBSERVATIONS AND OPINIONS

What an interesting point to make. 
^^C1^^

I heard a scientist say that if we find life on another planet it will mean that life is everywhere. I agree.
I also say that if you find one error in the Bible then you can doubt everything else written in it. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the unicorn quotes.

^^C2^^


I can order a beer and find a bathroom in three languages...does that count? Otherwise, I nailed it.

Look, I don't want to be kept alive by a bunch of machines, but if I have a heart attack I sure as shit want them to resuscitate me.
^^C5^^

My motto in life is:
"If you don't game the system, the system will game you."

 "Hey, aren't you the guy from high school who would disagree with everything?"

"No."

"Was it him?"

"I don't know"

OBJECTS OF INTEREST

 The more things change the more they remain the same.

 ^^D1^^

I know I've shown you this before, but it still amazes me.

 You know, if there is anything we should be able to rely on it is the earth holding the fuck still.
^^D2^^

Another example of real-life imitating art.

I love hearing people say that science and religion can co-exist. I smile when I think of a scientist trying to come up with the physics that were involved in Jesus floating up to heaven or Moses dividing the Red Sea. 
^^D5^^

 ^^D6^^

 

The main reason I never really got into hard drugs was that I never trusted the source. Oh, I might know the seller, but I don't even know where it was produced nor by whom.

How Alfred Hitchcock used rear-projection to film a plane crash in Foreign Correspondent (1940)

 Footage of a stunt plane diving towards the ocean was rear-projected on a rice paper screen, then water was released, which smashed through the paper screen and into the cockpit set.
