the things i get paid for

Hey all!

Guess where I am?

Dengfeng, China.

It's pretty much nowhere, China. Except for:

SHAOLIN TEMPLE.

And the Kung Fu schools. One of which I am at.
Two weeks, expenses paid trip to China to learn kung fu.

Yes infuckingdeed, you will be a wizard!

I'll be back in the states in January, with new stuff!

Printmaking!!

So I got bored one...week. And did these self-portraits:

Quack! Quack! Quack!

So somebody put up a "Decoy" tag on a dumpster near my home. It looks like it was done by a badass teenager. And how dare he/she tag it! That is MINE!

My return volley:


I love the placement here, if I say so myself. Who's the decoy now?


Ducks fly together!

(But this DECOY had better not take credit - which is why I've put MM on the wing)

Gotta catch 'em all!

Our fearless hero the bomb squad man returns! But he can't seem to keep all those pesky bobombs close enough to disarm - they keep running away!


the cake is mine too. but you already knew that.

MAN-MOTH

Wheeee

Finally got outside!

A portrait by the Peaceful Emperor:

And there she is! In her own little green playhouse!
She looked out the window. The rain had stopped but she would still get wet from the shaking trees. She wondered where her galoshes were - had he put them in the closet for her?

Never gunna give you up!

A whole new way to rickroll!

Two people.

1.

A sexy lady. Her name is Natalia. She's a saucy one, gents, take care! She likes accessories and public places.

2.
Our fearless hero from the bomb squad! He's smart, with a still hand and steady heart. And he wants to be your friend.


He looks a bit pensive right now. Let's hope he isn't stumped!

ANOTHER OCELOT??

Here chippy chippy chippy....

That title really loses something when not spoken.
Anyhow, here is a chipmunk named chippy. I got a little excited and smudged him. Poor 'lil feller. Nevertheless, he still seems pretty happy to be hanging out on my porch.


I hope the neighborhood dogs aren't mean to him.

Reality

THE CAKE IS A LIE!



(But really, cake should be carried in metal boxes like this. Or briefcases. It's very delicious like that. Try it.)

What I did this weekend

Spray-paint on cardboard from Target. A respirator. I'm sick of fumes but too cheap to buy one.
IRONY.


Spray-paint on old-sweatshirt.

Why the negative space? Because they're EXTINCT. Think about it.



AND got a bookcase for all my bookses! Hurrah! And then I sprayed on the dwarf-size revolver ocelot (or at least a piece of it):






Oh, and cursed at a loved one. Drama.





(OH! And fallout 3 releases tomorrow. Duh!)

Spiral

Here is the blag in which I play with the Mario blocks, and a story about a fellow named Tim.

Check it out.

A little more comfortable

A METAL GEAR??

REVOLVER OCELOT??


ew...creepy.

Cheer Up!

In the book. Reverse stencil.

Mario Blocks - A Beginning

I decided that I need to disseminate text. In a fun fanciful manner.

I copied posterchild and others and made myself some hellasweet mario blocks. I intend to place them around the area with little leaflets of a story in each one - mental power-ups if you will. Collect them all!

Who's a geek? This guy.



Question: How many power-up blocks are in this room?


If you said three, you are incorrect! The correct answer is FOUR.
There is another box just outside the frame, on the bottom right. Right next to my foot when I took this picture.

What have we learned today? Don't believe everything you see, kids.

-----

I made a mess too (housemates are not pleased):

A good place to start

Your eyes can't repel awesomeness of this magnitude!



Looks like a nice-enough place.
