Yeah, that's me now.
The thing that makes me feel really not adult and more like a big kid is putting a big fuckin' skull on it. Maybe that's me even more now...?
Anyway, next time I see you, I'll give you MY CARD

Big Business
I feel really weirdly adult making my first business cards. Remember that scene in American Psycho where the suits are caressing their cards and talking about them like sports cars? Remember that douchy guy that spit while he talked and gave you "his card?" Remember opening your front door only to have a flurry of cab service numbers fly to the ground?
Yeah, that's me now.

WITH A RELEASE PARTY AT the soho gallery for digital art (sgda),
FRIDAY, 26, 2010 -FROM 8 PM - 11 PM
New York, NY (February 16, 2010) — World War 3 Illustrated, the Independent Comic Book Anthology Magazine Is Now in Its Fourth Decade of Publication. World War 3 Illustrated presents the “What We Want” comic issue! This latest 128-page anthology uses the power of comic books to ask for something radical: real proposals for building a better society.
Edited by Seth Tobocman, Rebecca Migdal, Susan Simensky Bietila, Carlo Quispe and Sandy Jimenez.
What’s in this issue:
While the ‘08 Presidential election is viewed by many of us in America as a turning point, it is uncertain what the ultimate outcome will be. The nation remains distressed, economically and ecologically in the aftermath of 28 years of right wing dominance in politics.
World War 3 illustrated asked that artists do more than just criticize things as they are:
WORLD WAR 3 ILLUSTRATED is responding with 128 pages of answers from comic book artists; exploring alternatives, making proposals for progress and offering ideas for a better world for all.
Featuring the work of:
Seth Tobocman, Sabrina Jones, Jennifer Camper, Rebecca Migdal, Paula Hewitt Amram, Susan Simensky Bietila, Carlo Quispe, Sandy Jimenez, FLY, Melissa Jameson, Colin Matthes, Eric Hadley, Jack Laughner, Erik Ruin, Ethan Heitner, Kate Evans, Katie Fricas, Michael Hew, Sabin Calvert, Zeph Fishlyn, Sylvan Migdal.

I Wanna Take You Higher
Scientists have discovered a way to make objects levitate using sound. No, it's not a joke or a hoax.
Levitation is no longer the domain of crackpots and snake-oil peddlers. These generators can also produce waves that can stun and kill people. This technology can hypothetically be used to remove dust from astronaut suits and solar panels when we visit mars. The charge from solar winds and radiation makes dust cling to everything (imagine a super-charged static when you take your clothes out of the dryer). It doesn't seem like a big deal, but this dust is so sharp and dry that it can bore into the air-locks in suits and embed itself all over solar panels.
I personally can't wait until Sunn O))) uses it at a show. You know that's in the works...

DO IT!
George Orwell claimed 1984 as the year totalitarianism would rear its ugly rat-trap-attached-to-your-face head. But after the PMRC was ready to come out of the oven, everyone was focused on the evils of music. Tina Turner was hanging out with David Bowie, Prince's crotch had his own entry in the DSM, the first wave of hardcore had dissipated, leaving a swathe of straight-edge kids to punch smoking girls, Dee Snider was scaring parents with spandex blood and Frank Zappa sat on the toilet. In a word: TURMOIL.
The insanity culminated with Judas Priest "defending the faith." In a lawsuit filed against the gods who gave rock and roll to us, a family claimed that their son had shot himself in the face as a result of backward-masked subliminal messages. The message? DO IT. Yes, that was the message. DO IT. Good thing Nike's non-subliminal ad campaign wasn't around back then. JUST DO IT. Yikes!
Any way, here's a trip down memory lane. Or, a trip down the time before time, when you were just a primordial bisque floating in the ether, awaiting Rob Halford's shrieking pipes to awaken your very being from its slumber: DO IT was actually a message to your parents, telling them to make you. Either way, DO IT! I mean, ENJOY!
