ALF ALERT 006

ALF ALERT

I've been doing art a long time.  How long?

Long enough to know a well timed, well placed blow job can do as much for an artist career as a thousand to ten thousand hours at the easel, depending on the talent of the artist



BORN AGAIN

IT IS SAID;

BEFORE YOU CAN ENTER HEAVEN

YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN

YOU CAN'T DO THAT TILL YOU DIE

DIEING AIN'T EASY

BORN AGAIN

by

Capt Flash

My ex-wife tried to prevent me from becoming an artist by absorbing my time and energy with her projects.  She knew I didn't like crowds.  In spite of that she wanted me to take her and my daughter to Knott's Berry Farm in Anahiem, Calif.

on Easter Sunday, 1976.  Number freaks should note 1976 was the bi-centenial of the United States (200).

I declined

Easter Sunday is he day that Jesus rose from the dead and was born again.  I woke up with a splitting headache and a horrible hangover.  My intention was to paint but I was in no condition to do that.  I decided to clean up and/or organize the garage which I was useing as my studio at the time.

The first thing I did was move a piece of sculpture I had done.  As soon as I did that I got a very strong sensation that,

"that is where it belonged".

I moved something else.  It happened again.  I went nuts.

I touched and moved every single item in the garage.

I did all kinds of things.  I hung the bird cage from a pulley to the garage door so it could be raised or lowered by opening or closing the door.

When they came home she thought I'd gone crazy.

Late that night I read a passage from a little red book on astral projection.  Something about seeing thru glass.

I was looking into a mirror and saw myself as the devil.

I broke it.

The next day I refined the process.  Then I began to extend it into other areas, such as the house and car and eventually into everything I did.

In retrospect I realize that, that is the day I passed from chaos to harmony.

It took me twenty years to realize that what I experienced was intuitive Feng-Shui, the ancient art of placement.

This what it looked like when I finished

The only thing that is constant is change itself.  Learning to change "gracefully" is the key.  Feng-Shui is Chinese for air and water.  What is between air and water?  A sailboat.
Talk about a fluid situation.  I lived on one for eighteen years.

In summary I can say, everything has it's place.  When you get everything in it's place you have harmony (balance)

It's not hard to figure out, the "less" you have to arrange, the easier it is to get there.

Amen

Of course I can't resist the "organization" joke here...


.....one day Jesus and the devil were walking down the road when Jesus spotted something blue and shiney in the dust.  He picked it up.  The devil asked, what's that?

It's the "truth" Jesus replied.

Here, let me "organize it".

said the devil

ENLIGHTMENT

After many years of seriously thinking about it I reached a

conclusion in my mind (intellect) that connected the physical plane to the spiritual.  That is.....

AN ORGASAM IS A MOMENT OF PURE ENLIGHTMENT

At no other time are you more focused, here now

CELEBRITIES

TWO PEOPLE IN THE NEWS

.....recently that I have a connection with

DANNY BONADUCE

Either recently got engaged or married

I was doing qwick sketches in Ocean City, Maryland one summer when he came walking down the boards.  I talked him into a sketch.  He complained that his manager was making more money than him.  I think he gave the drawing to a bar maid in the Dutch Bar.  A long skinny bar that is no longer there

FAYE RESNICK

In the news recently for being bad mouthed by someone for posing nude in Playboy magazine.  I didn't actually draw her.  She was with NICOLE SIMPSON in a bar across the street from the Burbank studio when I drew her.  She is the one who talked Nicole into having the picture drawn.

EARTH FLAG

THE EARTH FLAG

When I got home one night I switched on the T.V.  "Nightline" with Ted Koppel was on.  I always considered Nightline to be a propraganda organ.

Ted was very excited.  That got my interest.  It wasn't often Teddy got excited.

I thought this oughtta' be good so I fired up some herbal supplement to enhance the experience.

Seems Ted had a guy on the show that said, "aliens" from outer space were already here.  I took a hit.  The reason we couldn't see them was because they were so small.  I exhaled and thought, what are microbes?

Can you imagine, Ted Koppel, on Night Line feeding us propaganda, claiming aliens from outter space are already here.  What is our government trying to tell us and why?

Ted brings this guy out who repeats, "they're here".  Then they showed some animation of the earth cooling.  Meteors were crashing into the crust and debries were flying off into space.  Then they showed meteors crashing into other planets (Mars) and those debries landing on earth.

Then they said someone at NASA had coughed onto a mirror.  When it returned from space the germs were still alive proveing that life could survive the radiation of space travel.  I can't believe what I'm hearing.  I took another hit.

Then the guy sez;  "If we are the only intelligent life in the universe, it's up to us to populate the universe".  That was it, the beginning of the end I thought.  Sounded like moral justification to me.  Manifest destiny, etc.  Ask the indians about that.

Imagine if that was true?  What would it be like a thousand years from now, or ten thousand years?  Eventually earth would be known as "Mother Earth".  The people who had lived there would be known as "first earther's".  Then I thought, first earther sez;  ".....earth first, don't pollute the universe".

Being an artist I thought we would need a sign or symbol to signfy us.  I thought about earth being called the blue planet.  At the most basic level of communication, shape and color I concieved a simple design, a blue dot representing earth on a black background, representing space.

I call it the 'EARTH FLAG'.  The symbol for us.

THINK;  ONE PLANET, ONE PEOPLE

SHUT UP

Instead of cringing in the corner

Senseless acts of beauty spiraled

Into the oblibivion of my mind

Violating the sanctity of my impierled

Pregnancy while squirting red hot

Shots of passion on the front of my pants

I stand in dumb struck awe, waiting

For the dawn to silently reveal the

Dimensions of the enormous orb

Threatened like a mountain

Squealed like a squirel

I contemplate my navel

As a crimson tide smothers

My resistance to love

THE MAILMAN

Coagulated consiousness

Waited in the wings of my awareness

While progressive chickens plucked

Plenty of peanuts from

The pie in the sky

Frightened worms fainted

In the hallways

Awful animals invited

Disaster to watch the

Bar-B-Q at the church

Next Sunday

Passionate pink pineapples

Painted ponies that

Farted furiously when

The mailman came

In his pants

In the twilite of the toenails

Fastidous flies feasted furiously

On horney hunks of ham

While occulded osculations

Pumped quicksilver resin

Thru the freeway of my heart

HOT FLASH

The ladies of AP's Parlor Gallery in a heated frenzy threw

economic caution to the wind and indulged in the

latest craze.....pop up galleries

Pop up's are becoming more common in these tuff

economic times.  Un-able to sustain on going costs

artist will rent a space for a month or two, put

on a show then take the money and run

....actually things were a little quite and they were trying

to decide which wine to drink

Sarah wasn't sure....red, white or water ?

The chopper on the other hand was a man of decision and

action, and sed:

......better red than dead

and poured away
