I have just checked my web statistics
and there was a little surprise.
Apparently on December 18 an extremely cool website
called: "What
the Fuck People" linked to my "Penis
Warmer for the Sophisticated Gentleman" posting.
That and the following day a total of almost 9,000 people
informed themselves about traditional German methods
of keeping your cock'n balls nice and cozy. Thank you"What
the Fuck People" for spreading the gospel.
What spooks me out is that I found and bookmarked that
website a couple of days ago without knowing they had
already linked to my website.

Celdran, David Esteban, Vannie Liwanag, Monica Llamas,
Gela Laurel, Caco Tirona, and Dona Tumacder

Friends of mine and I attended this fashion show
some time back.
I don't like to write negative stuff about anything
but let me just point out that the show had nothing
of the beauty and excitement these shots seem to depict.

the cover of a magazine

Only weeks after the Shy
Stick Insect Hunter made it on the cover of his own
magazine he was once again featured on the cover of
another leading lifestyle magazine.
Creativity and science are almost the same thing,
except one is pink.

not what you think.

What might appear to the untrained eye as the Stick
Insect Hunter stuffing a turkey is actually nothing
but a big misunderstanding.
Wherever you go you'll find that most people have
that cute "local" thing.

031222 Doubt
click on the picture
to enlarge
For every conviction
there has to be doubt
Doubt is creativity.
If there is doubt, then there must be an alternative.
By doubting you automatically create an alternative.
The urge to find an alternative is what makes an artist
or a scientist.
The documentation of doubt is art.
As an artist you should doubt everything, even truth.
Don't try to find the truth.
What are you going to do with it once you found it?
Find security in doubt.
Art doesn't make sense.
So you have to do it fast before you realize that.
Before the ugly doubt beast starts gnawing at your
insides.
That is the other doubt --- the destructive kind ---
Self-doubt.
There are only
subjective perceptions of the past
and certainly no predictable future.
There is only now
and even that is doubtful.
It is not that
I doubt
what you are saying
I just don't believe you.

To all you guys with erectile dysfunction I can just
say one thing.
When was the last time you smoked a joint
had a few beers and got lap-danced by a gorgeous,
big-breasted, young lady?

031219 Who
Is The Artist?
click on the picture

1998, 1.5' x 2', oil on canvas
Originally a part of a diptych, which was called
:
"Who is the artist?" and "Why does
he paint like this?".
That diptych was part of the face value series.
The original didn't have a face.
I don't know what happened to the other half of the
diptych.

One of the fun things of the magazine is that you
can get instant gratification from people you give
the magazine to. Aside from special circumstances
people generally have no choice but to browse through
the magazine right away and I therefore can watch
their reaction.
I have tried to capture that precise moment in this
series of pictures I have done during my bar girl
literacy drive, bringing fine literature to underprivileged
go go girls.

Great Insight

Oh it's a lamp,...
All the time I thought I was just really stoned.
I wonder if anybody looks at war
as a very convenient way to get rid of all those young
punks
who fuck your wives and daughters.
And maybe you can even make some money on the side.
