pointless update
yeah
so i pretty much bankrupted myself buying a brand new ibanez acoustic electric guitar from ye ol' guitar center in hollywood. yeah. sweet. the first one i bought based on what the display model sounded and played like and then when they gave me one fresh out of the box i took it home and played it and there were twangy frets way down at the bottom of the neck....... like the 14,15,16 frets of certain strings and i was pretty bummed to have paid like 325 bucks for a brand new guitar only to bring it home and have it have big old problems............... which was easily remedied, however, by just bringing it back and exchanging it for the display guitar itself and now, hooray, ive got my new guitar. ive got no cash, but ive got a guitar. and although i like it, i almost wish i had bought that stinken banjo instead. but as my friend ben says , who the f plays a banjo? regardless, it was pretty sweet and i'll have to pick one up someday.
plus im working on a new................... well, resumed working on a semi-new project ......... a new tv .......... i'll post pics of the first one i ever made on here but i'm not sure anyone will like it cuz its pretty scathing.. heh, they'll prolly be like "great concept but what the hell's the screaming kid with the bible verse all about?" well, allow me to retort to myself :) - this pic breaks my heart and has actually made me cry on a couple occasions. it breaks my heart, because i feel like the tribulation is coming - and it's going to be by the work of man's hands. we do it to ourselves.......... and we're gonna push the envelope right over the cliff's edge. man's war, hatred, jealousy, bigotry, wrath, lies, greed etc. has consequences, and this little girl is a prime example of the effects that are caused by our indiscriminate self perpetuating agendas. it's no wonder the first "law" of the Satanic bible (their tagline and motto) is "do what thou wilt" - do what you want.
apparently, this little girl's suffering might not be what we want directly, but indirectly she's acceptable collateral damage.
(ps- that white overspray next to the side doves was i think mostly taken care of after this pic)
you do this for yourself, on your spare time?
awesome project, i love the fact that a tv is the canvas.
and how do you know the tagline to the satanic bible?:)
yeah i do this on my spare time. i collect old small to middle sized tvs and keep them in my closet and one by one take them out, paint them with whatever latex color i come across for free, and then have them sit there in the middle of my room and stare me in the face for a good month and a half or so before i decide to doubt myself and whether i'll continue on in the project.......... THEN i work on it straight for like 3 days and get a bunch of it done , staying up late + not talking to my friends.
im working on my third one right now. which is shaping up to be my favorite one. spraypaint is finicky stuff and little mistakes make big differences so half the time i re-do entire sides of the tv like 3 or so times before im happy with it......
i guess the concept makes up for my huge and entire lack of artistic ability (i cant draw whatsoever - i promise)
and the satanic bible? yeah - i was all about it back in highschool. even tried to find it (the church of satan) at one point in time. its kindof dumbed down to the point where 'rational' people cant believe that others can become that seriously depraved, or that real actual satanism exists (not to mention a real Satan) .... and they like nothing more than for people (me at the time) who don't believe in Satan/evil/etc to pick up their books and start buying into their twisted suggestions.
i used to read books by a guy who called himself "The Beast" (as in, the Biblical beast) who branded his women (sex slaves) between the breasts with satanic seals/symbols and wrote extensively on the value (for power) of child sacrifice.
He was a head Mason at the turn of the century (1900). Which should probably say a lot about those guys. . .
Ohhhh the stories i could tell...
