uuurrrggghh can you even imagine something so degenerately disgusting as the actual events that seem to be shamelessly playing themselves out in real time for us all to watch ! !!! the age of the charlatan indeed !! with just a tinge of Frankenstein's Monster about it all !!
it seems that I inadvertently initiated the ' pop up movement ' ….. personally I just had little option than to trade from premises that I didn't have to pay for ! my proclamation at the time that '' shit , just cost to damn much '' seems to have now become an almost institutionalised phenomenon ! ( actually its not the first time that has happened with little pet projects of mine … but cest la vie I guess )
and back when I was ' commercially squatting ' in little seaside villages I had this little hand made poster that I used to put in the window every day ! it seems more than pertinent to re mention this particular cartoon of prominence , one of the first ' Cornish Buddy ' designs that later became rather popular through festivals distributions !
So George Bush Senior Died ! and Donald Trump attended the funeral without causing so much as a single outlandish drunken scene ! remarkable !! give it a day or two and I am sure that old Donald will come out with some gibberish about instilling his legacy with the inauguration of a national invade a foreign nation day !
madness to think that way back then I think it must have been 2006 ' ish ' …. you would still be incarcerated in most of the USA for just casually chatting about Marijuana … and the U.K drug policy was so archaic , oh wait yeah it still is !! so this little cartoon was in itself a bit of a rebellious act ! aside from the fact that I was trying the line of legality in terms of conductible trade and the parameters of ' opting out ' of the mass insanity, basically involving everyone with a mortgage or rent noose around their neck … trading their time for abysmal wages and labours , and ergo incessantly perpetrating this mess that we all openly despise from one angle or another ! madness !!
so from the arts hole : protesting the cost of spatial allocations
to the invest in Real Art Campaign : protesting the corporate usurping of traditional artistry
to the NO GMO in my THC : protesting the corporate monopolization of a commodity that has left so many incarcerated
the Brexit refugee :living breathing testament to the fiasco currently being played out ! absolutely protesting everything ! from the nonsensical policy that we maintain and the inept administrations we tolerate that so grievously mishandle any semblance of sense that remains within this heavily edited and drastically biased policy !
tear the fuckin lot down !! but do it in as constructive and creative manner as possible !!
in an age of mass automation and an exploding population I am all up for the Gig Economy , lets see a little Gig taxes / rents and rates to match it though !!! :)
