So for the title of this post to work, (I’m not having you on), I have to introduce you to the work of Andy Warhol… Check it out and tell me what you think…

#art, The Never Ending Challenge of Being Repetitive…
#art, Obras de un pasado enlatado 1a parte- Works From a Past in the Can Part 1…
El pasado a veces es el espacio que uno usa para embellecer el presente o para sanar heridas, o para creer que uno, de los errores cometidos en el, ha aprendido mucho y ahora goza de gran experiencia. Si, cierto es que el pasado sirve para todas estas cosas y para muchas mas, me imagino…
Pero el pasado, aunque se puede adornar de lo que uno quiera, es implacable. Yo vengo desarrollando mi arte desde un pasado muy lejano…
Pero el arte no evoluciona. Lo que he hecho en el pasado es obra completa, cargadita de emociones, sentimientos, historia y mensajes. No cambian. Quizá el artista si evolucione, crezca y cambie, pero el arte es inmutable…

Sometimes the past is the space one uses to embellish the present or to heal wounds, or to believe that from the mistakes made in it, one has learned, and now one has great experience. Yes, it is true that the past serves for all these things and for many more, I imagine…
But the past, although it can be adorned however one wants, is implacable. I have been developing my art since a very distant past…
But art does not evolve. What works have done in the past are complete works of art, full of emotions, feelings, history, and messages. They do not change. Perhaps the artist evolves, grows, and changes, but art is immutable…
GRACIAS – CHEERS
#opinion, Oh That Stupid Virus!
«‘They’ say that the ‘worst virus to threaten humanity’ has been discovered: THE VIRUS THAT CAUSES STUPIDITY!»
«By whom?»
«Researchers in the University of Nebraska. See for yourself: (https://abcnews.go.com/Health/stupidity-virus-discovered-scientists/story?id=26834631).»
«But ever since I was a wee lad I’ve known the world was full of stupid people. I reckon now it’s worse than ever.»
All you have to do is take a walk and they’ll bump right into you. I was walking down one of our busy avenues in town and in just a few short blocks I literally came face to face with them. Five people, they were heading in the opposite direction and they were about to walk bang straight into me. Why? Because they were paying more attention to their mobile phone than to what was going on around them. Is this stupid or what?
Hey! No matter how much you think you know the way or the neighbourhood, you’re still on the bloody street and that is the unknown. Don’t you know that life is in constant flux? No? I guess you’re too stupid! You need your eyes and ears if not you’re walking like the deaf and blind…
«Are smart phones making people dumber? Can the mobile phone be a vector for the stupid virus?»
«Of course!»
Look, I know sometimes one has no choice and one has to consult the mobile even out on the street. But I am not referring to those instances. I am talking about all those you see who are searching the web, texting or doing some other stupid thing on and with their mobile outside their homes. Oh my God, they are contaminated with the virus!
«But it’s not just their relationship with their mobile phone. Stupid is everywhere and if you don’t believe me just take a look around, tell me what you see.»
«I see the results of apathy.»
«Right. Look at the walls around town. Everywhere they are covered up with scribblings, signs, «graffiti», the non-artistic kind, and other forms of gang tagging. Everything looks horrible and no one gives a bloody god damn! This makes me think that apathetic people are truly and well contaminated with the virus.»
Another thing. When I see the High School kids come out for lunch and take over the sidewalks, climb on the benches, block the paths acting rude and uneducated, I realise they are contaminated with the virus. And now it’s not bad enough that they want to smoke tabaco, they’ve invented vaping to really screw them over.
Furthermore, when Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and the rest of social media tells me that I cannot upload a picture, a video, or anything else because they think that a naked body, a tit, even if it is part of a classical work of art, is porn, basically I flip!
«Are we living in a world controlled by algorithm’s that are ‘teaching’ us how to think and act?»
«That’s right mate, they think we’re stupid. And if stupidity is a virus, it is a bad one, one that never leaves the host. After all Artificial Intelligence, AI, has surpassed our own and now rules over us because our entire lives are now tied to and within our mobile, our portable and our home computers. We’re in the matrix no matter how much we deny it.
«How? I just don’t understand…
«I’ll tell you.»
If Instagram, YouTube, Facebook or whatever, rejects something or says that something is a conspiracy theory, or a lie that you cannot stand to even hear about, they censor it and you’ll never see it anymore on their platforms. And they want you to start adapting the same criteria. They want to condition you to think that if it (something) is not good for the aforementioned social media sites, then it is not worthy to even be thought of, much less to be spoken of. There are already many, many people who think this way.
The internet has shrunk. YouTube videos are now mostly streamlined and well produced videos, many from companies. You cannot find the contents that were there just a few short years ago, especially if they dealt with 9-11, chemtrails, UFO’s, government’s shady acts, or anything else they considered a «conspiracy theory» et cetera…
«Haven’t you heard people say that something is or isn’t politically correct? Well that’s one of the symptoms of the ‘virus’.»
«Yep. I guess you have to be pretty well infested with the ‘virus’ to accept living according to an algorithm or to what is, supposedly, ‘politically correct’.»
«Absolutely mate, and we all thought COVID-19 was terrible…«
I hope you all get vaccinated. I hear the ‘virus’ is spreading fast…

#art, «Carry the Moon» As a Poster Print
What is a fine art print? A fine art print («Carry the Moon» is a poster print) is a reproduction of an original work of art on quality paper, canvas, wood, metal or placed on another object, like a t-shirt, a pillow and many other surfaces. The only company I use to create fine art prints of my artwork is Fine Art America and Pixels (both part of the same company). When you order they handle the entire transaction and ship to you as soon as your order is ready. They use only the best materials and that is why I trust them. I know and am happy with their track record.
Here you see as a fine art print. There are many styles of prints to choose from. I invite you to visit my online gallery at Fine Art America and choose from the various images I have placed on there. They can be made into fine art prints or placed upon your choice of lifestyle, technology or clothing choices. Also, visit the gallery often as I often change the images I place there. This keeps them exclusive. After all a fine art print is a very affordable alternative and it is still original art created by working artists.

#opinion, ¿La estupidez es un virus?
Dicen que es el peor “virus” que azota a la humanidad y que ya se puede decir, (venga, más o menos), que los estúpidos, (claro, nosotros no, serán los demás), están infestados por un virus que los hace estúpidos.
-¿Por qué? dirás tu.
Porque científicos norteamericanos de la Universidad de Nebraska han lo han descubierto. (https://abcnews.go.com/Health/stupidity-virus-discovered-scientists/story?id=26834631) Compruébelo tu.
Bueno, desde que tengo uso de razón se que el mundo está lleno de estúpidos. Hoy en dia, peor que nunca. No hay más que salir a dar un paseo para notarlo.
-¿Pero cómo los reconocemos?
-Fácil, te diré que una de¿ las maneras de reconocerlos es cuando veas como se portan con el teléfono móvil. Un ejemplo: Ayer iba andando por La Gran Vía (la de Ferran el Catòlic de Valencia), y en un tramo de menos de un kilometro, cinco personas de diversas edades, casi tropiezan conmigo, o con otros, porque iban consultando, leyendo o que se yo, el móvil. Mas caso al móvil que al andar. ¿El teléfono inteligente (Smart Phone) habrá inoculado a muchos con el virus de la estupidez? ¿Será el móvil uno un vector para su transmisión? O ¿Serán teléfonos inteligentes pero gente bruta?
Venga, yo reconozco que a veces a uno, aunque esté por la calle, no le queda más remedio que consultar el móvil, vale. Pero cuando ves a tantos por ahí texteando, buscando, mirando y comiendo mierda con el aparato, eso no es una consulta necesaria, eso es una estupidez, genuina y absoluta. Cuando uno sale a la calle, por mucho que uno conozca el barrio y el camino, uno sale a lo desconocido porque la vida es orgánica y existe en constante estado de flux y uno tiene que estar al tanto si no nos puede pasar lo inesperado.
Pero es que los estúpidos están por todas partes. Mira a tu alrededor y dime que ves. Yo te diré que veo apatía, apatía a la enésima potencia y la apatía es síntoma del virus de la estupidez. Miro a mi alrededor y veo que las fachadas de las fincas, tiendas, y demás inmuebles de la ciudad las han pintorreado y lucen feísimas y a nadie le importa. Esto me hace pensar que estoy entre gente apática y contaminadas con el virus.
Cuando veo que los chiquillos del instituto salen al recreo y se cogen las aceras, se encaraman en los bancos de una forma inurbana y no dejan pasar a la gente, son rudos y maleducados, noto, sin duda alguna, que ya se han contaminado también. Además, ya no basta con el daño que hace el tabaco, ahora les han dado el vaping para acabar de joderlos a todos. Aceptar que así son las cosas y no se pueden cambiar es cosa de estúpidos.
Cuando me dice Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, etcétera, que no puedo subir un dibujo, un vídeo o lo que me salga de las narices, porque contiene figuras de mujeres con las tetas al aire libre y se ven los pezones, me echo para atrás en la butaca, cierro el ordenador y pienso que vivo en un mundo donde nos quieren dominar porque nos piensan estúpidos y nos quieren meter el virus hasta el tuétano.
Sí, la estupidez es un virus, peligroso y virulento, y cuando se apodera de alguien no sale nunca. La inteligencia artificial, que ha superado a la natural, a la humana, nos gobierna.
– ¿Cómo? No lo sé…
– Yo te lo voy a decir:
Si Instagram, YouTube, Facebook o la madre que los parió rechaza algo, o dice que es una teoría conspiranoica, o una mentira que tu, si tu, no puedes soportar porque te hundes, pues no te lo dejan colgar en sus redes y quieren que nosotros lo creamos y lo aceptemos también. Quieren que usemos ese mismo criterio en la vida y eso está mal, muy mal. Si el algoritmo dice que algo está mal dicho, mal hecho o mal pensado, ya nos empieza a parecer mal a nosotros también. ¿Acaso no has oído a la gente por ahí hablando de lo “políticamente correcto?” Eso es uno de los síntomas del virus porque hay que ser muy estúpido para vivir dentro de los parámetros de un algoritmo y de lo políticamente correcto.
Pensamos que el COVID-19 era lo peor, pero este virus, el de los estúpidos, nos está convertido en Canuto y mientras más viejo seremos más bruto…

#art, «Street Jam» Is Now a Fine Art Print…
What is a fine art print? A fine art print, as is «Street Jam«, is a reproduction of an original work of art on quality paper, canvas, wood, metal, framed, or placed on another object, like a t-shirt, a pillow and many other surfaces. The only company I use to create fine art prints of my artwork is Fine Art America and Pixels (both part of the same company). When you order they handle the entire transaction and ship to you as soon as your order is ready. They use only the best materials and that is why I trust them. I know and am happy with their track record.
Here you see «Street Jam» as a framed fine art print. There are many styles of prints to choose from. I invite you to visit my online gallery at Fine Art America and choose from the various images I have placed on there. They can be made into fine art prints or placed upon your choice of lifestyle, technology or clothing choices. Also, visit the gallery often as I often change the images I place there.
