On with the show. This series is called Rad Life Illusion Man. It will be done in the tradition of my last two series and I hope to use everything I have practiced at; with those series. They will all be 8.5 inches by 11 inches on paper done with pencil and as always sprayed with fixative to last a life times.

Keep in mind although theses are digital versions of my drawings they are no where near the full sized *.tiff files of 25 megabytes. I look at these drawings in a frame until I replace them with new ones and they are so very intricate. The bottom line is, like I have said many times before; there is nothing like seeing my art in person, it is nothing like you will ever see on a computer, it is absolutely breath taking.

I always set as background my last work of art. I am my best fan. The posted image is way too small; you can not see it. So I made this page: http://radmanart2ndhome.blogspot.com/p/rad-life-illusion-man-large-images.html I know you all will like it, so; your welcome.

I got skulls and Spider-Man this time. The skull with the mini machine gun and dagger is Red Skull. I remember reading about him when I was a child. He was so cool looking but amazingly cruel in his constant pursuit to destroy Captain America.

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Skull

The Red Skull is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character is usually depicted as the archenemy of the superhero Captain America.

What ever happened to comic books in supermarkets or in common magazine racks every where? That is how I bought comic books all my life.

Mindful Eating Tip: Buy the shelled pistachios
It's because it takes time to remove the pistachios from their shells. This reduces the tendency to pop them mindlessly into your mouth.

NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth-Dec 25, 2016

It turned out to be officially the warmest Christmas ever in North Texas. The average high temperature on December 25th is 56 degrees. But Dallas-Fort Worth started Christmas morning at 69 degrees and only went up from there.

FORT WORTH
Someone forgot to turn off the heat after last week’s arctic front, which packed bitter temperatures in the teens.

On Wednesday, the official temperature at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport reached 83 degrees, breaking the record for the high Dec. 28, which was 81 degrees set in 1928.

That’s a 67-degree swing from the low of 16 degrees on Dec. 19.

HAARP was a target of conspiracy theorists, who claimed that it was capable of modifying weather, disabling satellites and exerting mind control over people, and that it was being used as a weapon against terrorists. Such theorists blamed the program for causing earthquakes, droughts, storms and floods, diseases such as Gulf War syndrome and chronic fatigue syndrome, the 1996 crash of TWA Flight 800, and the 2003 destruction of the space shuttle Columbia. Commentators and scientists say that proponents of these theories are "uninformed", because most theories put forward fall well outside the abilities of the facility and often outside the scope of natural

I added this to the header:

To whom it may concern. I invented Radman in the late 1980's. It was published in Thrasher Magazine in 1991, I own that copie. I am the one and only! Open this in new page to see huge version.

I added a old graphic I made way back in 2001. I had just started college and all I knew was photo shop. I really worked hard on my photo shop images. This is a great example of those days.

I created this version of Radman from a drawing I would do for people back in California in the late 1980's to mid 1990's. I would draw this as me in shorts in less than 3 minutes. I drew it with tons of muscles instead; and added the Radman official uniform, and imported into photo shop, and worked on it for half a day in photo shop.

Here are some cool conspiracy's; if you like this stuff (personally do not believe any of this):

Chemtrail conspiracy theory:

NASA Hiding The Truth That A Second Sun Exists Claims Astronomer Paul Cox

There is no shortage of NASA conspiracy theories floating around on the internet.

But the latest offering comes from “well respected” British field astronomer Paul Cox who claims there is a second sun in our solar system that NASA are keeping secret.

Cox claims that the world is blind to this information because the space agency is deliberately keeping it hidden.

Physicists Agree “Parallel Worlds Exist And Are Interacting With Us Daily!” (CERN?)

From: http://www.unsilentmajoritynews.com/physicists-agree-parallel-worlds-exist-and-are-interacting-with-us-daily-cern/

There is now a theory going around called the “many interacting worlds” hypothesis (MIW) – and this theory is as interesting as it sounds. This theory is said to confirm that parallel worlds don’t just exist, but they also interact with our very own world pretty much DAILY. It has been said that the parallel worlds interact with our world but on a quantum level, so are unfortunately NOT detectable. Even though this interesting theory cannot be confirmed, this may actually help to finally explain some of the strange consequences which are inherent in quantum mechanics.

Happy Christmas Eve!

from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_traditions#United_States

Christmas is a widely celebrated festive holiday in the United States, and Christmas Day is officially recognized as a federal holiday by the US Government.

Christmas Eve is popularly described as "the night before Christmas" in the poem actually titled "A Visit from St. Nicholas". Better known as Santa Claus.

from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Visit_from_St._Nicholas

"A Visit from St. Nicholas", more commonly known as "The Night Before Christmas" and "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" from its first line, is a poem first published anonymously in 1823 and later attributed to Clement Clarke Moore of New York City, New York, United States, who claimed authorship in 1837. Some commentators now believe the poem was written by Henry Livingston, Jr of Poughkeepsie, New York, United States.

My favorite Christmas movie of all time Scrooge made in 1951. It is by far the greatest Christmass movie ever made. If I had my way I would force everyone in the world to watch this Movie! Scroge proves you are never to old to do the right thing.

If you watch this movie I promiss you; it will make you love all Christmas's here after.

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrooge_(1951_film)

Scrooge is a 1951 British fantasy drama film and an adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol (1843). It starred Alastair Sim as Ebenezer Scrooge, and was produced and directed by Brian Desmond Hurst, with a screenplay by Noel Langley. It was released as A Christmas Carol in the United States.

My favorite character in Scooge is; and has been, since I was a child is:

The Ghost of Christmas Present (Francis de Wolff) shows Scrooge how others celebrate Christmas. Scrooge sees how poor the Cratchits really are. The family can only afford a small Christmas dinner. Their youngest child, Tiny Tim (Glyn Dearman), is lame and will die of his illness unless the future changes. Scrooge is shown the dinner party hosted by Fred and his wife. Finally, the Ghost shows Scrooge two sickly, scrawny children: Ignorance and Want. The Ghost reminds Scrooge of his support for prisons and workhouses.

What does Bah Humbug mean?:

from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humbug

A humbug is a person or object that behaves in a deceptive or dishonest way, often as a hoax or in jest. The term was first described in 1751 as student slang, and recorded in 1840 as a "nautical phrase". It is now also often used as an exclamation to mean nonsense or gibberish.

When referring to a person, a humbug means a fraud or impostor, implying an element of unjustified publicity and spectacle. In modern usage, the word is most associated with a character named Ebenezer Scrooge, created by Charles Dickens in a book called "A Christmas Carol". His famous reference to Christmas, "Bah! Humbug!", declaring Christmas to be a fraud.

from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Lampoon's_Christmas_Vacation

Lewis' wife Aunt Bethany, who is incredibly senile, proceeds to sing the "The Star-Spangled Banner" and the whole family and the SWAT officers join in, gazing at Clark's Santa Claus and reindeer set (which was also destroyed in the blast), still burning and flying into the distance. The entire Griswold family, the Shirleys and the SWAT team members then celebrate inside the house, while Clark and Ellen happily share a Christmas kiss. After Ellen goes inside, Clark looks at the sky, happily smiling toward the stars and saying: "I did it."

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Star-Spangled_Banner
"The Star-Spangled Banner" is the national anthem of the United States of America. The lyrics come from "Defence of Fort M'Henry", a poem written on September 14, 1814, by the 35-year-old lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry by British ships of the Royal Navy in Baltimore Harbor during the Battle of Baltimore in the War of 1812. Key was inspired by the large American flag, the Star-Spangled Banner, flying triumphantly above the fort during the American victory.

Technically speaking, the winter solstice occurs when the sun is directly overhead the Tropic of Capricorn, or 23.5° south latitude.

We will have about 10 hours sunlight today, here in north Texas.

Birds came to our bird feeder and emptied it in one day. We are only using birdseed that squirrel's hate. It really works! Birds past through our aria for the past week and a half flying south. There were about 100 birds give our take at any given time during that time. thousands then today no bird. Yesterday and the day before there were no birds; hardly at all. The birds were running from the cold heading south as quick as they could.

CERN; Found out about this on the internet:

From: http://worldnewsdailyreport.com/pope-francis-warns-large-hadron-collider-could-open-gates-of-hell/

Pope Francis pleaded the scientific community to halt operations on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) this morning in an official Vatican release as scientists at the Large Hadron Collider next week are hoping to experiment with a possible connection with a parallel universe outside of our own.

Another skeptic of the project is none other than respected physicist Stephen Hawking who has recently warned the end of the world could be sparked by the elusive ‘God particle’.

All internet runs through CERN:

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CERN

Prior to the Web's development, CERN had pioneered the introduction of Internet technology, beginning in the early 1980s. A short history of this period can be found at CERN.ch.

More recently, CERN has become a facility for the development of grid computing, hosting projects including the Enabling Grids for E-sciencE (EGEE) and LHC Computing Grid. It also hosts the CERN Internet Exchange Point (CIXP), one of the two main internet exchange points in Switzerland.

CERN invented the internet?:

Web (prototyped in 1990-1, fully accepted over 1993-4), but several related steps needed to take place beforehand to enable the Web's emergence.

Weird huh?
I hope everyone is staying warm. Make no mistake about it; I do not care what scientist say. The cold weakens the immune system and that is why we all get sick when it is cold.

Cold weather and respiratory disease, including flu, also go hand in hand. Research has shown that cold spells are reliably followed by upticks in the number of deaths from respiratory disease. Some of this may have to do with a few infectious organisms, like flu viruses, thriving in colder temperatures, but there's also evidence that exposure to cold temperatures suppresses (in other words; weakens!) the immune system, so the opportunities for infection increase

I believe electricity should be lower priced during extreme cold weather as a life saving health care effort; by law. Yes I have writing all my representatives about this before.

I just thought of this yesterday; I was thinking of the greatest horror movie ever made: Rose Mary's Baby. Then I thought of the word Santa as a anagram; like the movie. I never thought of this before in my life.

Rosemary's Baby is a 1968 American psychological horror film written and directed by the Polish director Roman Polanski. Rosemary's Baby earned almost universal acclaim from film critics, won numerous nominations and awards, and today is considered one of the greatest American horror films ever made. In 2014, the film was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress, being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant. from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosemary%27s_Baby_(film)

LaVey claimed that he had been appointed consultant to the film Rosemary's Baby, which revolved around a group of fictional Satanists, and that he also had a cameo appearance in the film as the Devil. from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anton_LaVey

I did a Google search on the internet and found some info. So I made this with my art I finished 2 days ago. Coincidence? Maybe not. :

I sure hope you get cool presents from Satan Lucifer, lol.

Sign here: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/urgent-new-law-would-charge-protesters-with-terrorism?source=direct_link&

You must sign this petition! What if a employer had it's employees arrested and sent to jail for crimes they never committed; simply because they did not like them? What if a company or corporation sold food products that would endanger people's health; unknowing to the population of the consumers of that food product? Wouldn't you endorse boycotting them? If this law is past you would be arrested for boycotting people like that. This law would take away our basic rights as Americans; that were set forth by our forefathers and founders of our country in the constitution!

This is a disaster. A new law proposed by a State Senator in Washington would allow the authorities to charge protesters with "economic terrorism," and slap them with serious felony charges that could lead to jail time, just for making their voices heard.

The outrageous proposed bill would make any form of protest that causes an "economic disruption" a class C felony, punishable by up to 5 years in prison. It wouldn't just apply to people who engage in illegal acts or vandalism, it could be used to prosecute any person or group who organizes a protest that authorities deem as "disruptive." Broadly interpreted, this law could apply to time honored traditions of nonviolent dissent like boycotts and civil disobedience.

Charging protesters with terrorism clearly violates the First Amendment and is an attempt to silence legitimate dissent. Please sign the petition telling lawmakers to reject this dangerous legislation.

Here's the text of the petition:

"Organizing and participating in protests is a basic Constitutional right guaranteed by the First Amendment. I urge all lawmakers to reject any legislation that criminalizes protesters or labels protests as a form of "economic terrorism."

When I take my dog outside like; I said in my last post, he outlasts my energy ever time. This can be very tough during the winter. I did some research that can help any breed of dog. I was relieved to learn that my dog's breed can tolerate cold and this explains his love of the colder weather.:

My mom said that dog's body temperature is higher than humans. I found out that this is true but only by a few degrees:

found here: http://www.animalplanet.com/pets/what-is-a-dogs-normal-body-temperature/

Just because your pet may feel warm to the touch doesn't necessarily mean he has a fever. Dogs normally have a warmer body temperature than humans do. According to the American Kennel Club (AKC), a temperature of 101 to 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit (38.3 to 39.2 degrees Celsius) is typical for pooches, whereas humans' normal body temperature is just 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius), with an average range of about 97 to 99 degrees Fahrenheit (36.1 to 37.2 degrees Celsius).

What to look for if a dog is too cold:

From: http://www.embracepetinsurance.com/seasonal/dogs-and-cold-weather

Signs of a Problem

When you and your dog are outside enjoying crisp winter weather, your dog will probably give you some signs when he’s had enough:

Whining or barking: Some dogs are more verbal than others, but if your dog suddenly begins ‘talking’ to you while making eye contact, he’s trying to tell you he’s had enough.

Stop moving: If your dog stops walking or playing, or is holding up a paw, he may have balls of snow or ice between the pads of his feet. He may also be too cold and needs to go inside.

Shivering: This is an obvious sign that he’s cold.

Anxiety: Many dogs, when they get too cold, will begin acting anxious or even fearful. He may try to climb up your leg to be held or may turn around and head home. The anxiety may turn into whining or barking.

Looking for Safety: Some dogs will begin looking for a place to hide – under a bush, under a car, or anything else that might provide shelter.

From: http://dogtime.com/dog-breeds/characteristics/tolerates-cold-climates

Border Collie is on this list for tolerating cold temperatures.

Quentin Jerome Tarantino movies are not popular because young people do not get it. I remember being in my teens and thinking how much I hated 1950's music and Bing Crosby and Dean Martin. That is just the way it is and will always be. When your in your teens to early 20's; if it is tens or more years old it is stupid. Things have to be knew to your generation for you to like it.

Al is forced to carpool by Marcy and her group's green initiative (Cleaner Greener Chicago). His carpool, consisting of him and three plus-sized models, is chosen to promote a campaign to clean up Chicago. Bud makes to the Dean's list due to good grades and no one appreciates him as much as they cheer Kelly when she gets a raise.

Note: In 2005, TV Land included this episode as part of its '100 Most Unexpected Moments in TV History', ranking it number 23.

Form: http://www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk/view_episode_scripts.php?tv-show=married-with-children&episode=s08e22

Bud: Dad I got straight A's and made the dean's list.

Peg: Oh, and I'm very proud of you. Now tell me, honey who is this dean? Is he a nice boy? Mom. Dad.

Al: Kind of puts this dean's thing in perspective, don't it?

Bud: Kind of puts my genetic makeup in perspective.

Al: Listen to that, Peg. Now he's using makeup.

Peg: First this dean thing and now this. :says this while weeping

Al shouts: Now look what you've done! You get out of here! You've upset your mother!

I watched the episode of Married with children and seeing Peg an Al on the couch with the son and the son says this or that and the parents totally heard something else. That is exactly how I got along with my parents and most adults in my life growing up. I have built up a resistance to that in my life. It truly does not bother me. I love to wear my wife's army cloths from the early 1990's. People do not understand that back then these were men's clothing. I went to the PX where these cloths were sold in Fort Hood and Fort Gordon while I lived there when my wife during her service to our country. I personally checked it out and found the exact cloths that the women were issued were men cloths. I still have her long underwear and they are the warmest I ever wore. I think they are wool. I want to wear what they give solders to go in to battle to keep them warm. The quality and options of these cloths are unparalleled to civilian cloths in every way to this day.

I grew another beard in about a week and a half; bam a beard. I started lifting weights and have incorporated this into my aerobic routine and stretches; I do for 5 days a week now for about four years steady now. Once I started lifting last week my body took right to it. I have lifted weights for most of my life and believe my body almost needs it. It is like bam; my spin locks into place. I refuse to try to spend 3 hours lifting wights, (like I used to) for fear of injury at my age. I am minimizing my wight routine, but I'm back at it and I am glad. Heavy weights low reps with a quickness is my new theory. I think I got my weight set out because of all this superhero art I have been doing. I still refuse to draw women because I believe they are objectified and I am against the objectification of human beings. Women super heroes are just too scantily dress and portraying women like that is just not my thing. I saw one the other day I thought was kinda cool in a movie preview or something. A solder women super hero would be cool in military garb, something like that.

I don't know why you're so energetic today but prepare to be worn out.
What's wrong, boy? Getting tired? :Bart and Lisa are pasted out on the lawn and the dog is still hyper

It is getting cold but my dog does not seem to be affected by it at all. When I take him running he will not stop. It reminds me of the Simpsons when they have puppy's the dog wear me out no matter how hard I try to exercise him. When it is cold it becomes very hard to play catch. Those photos I took were amazing he jumps in the air many times to catch, he empresses me every day. A conservative estimate is he jumps about 4 feet in the air sometimes to catch. He is playing catch with my wife right now she throws it in the air about 6 feet by six feet long and he is catching it in the air; (no bounce) we are laughing about it. Amazing dog. I recommend border collies if you can spend allot of time training him to behave and not tear up your house apart. I think he trained me too sometimes during the wonderful years we have spent together.

I hope we all remember what Thanksgiving is all; really about. I hope we all remember the people who came here escaped from Europe; when it was not the free Europe we know today.

Many of the passengers (of the Mayflower that brought pilgrims to our county before it's official birth) were Separatists, fleeing persistent religious persecution, but some were hired hands, servants, or farmers recruited by London merchants, all originally destined for the Colony of Virginia.

Then there is my Grandfather, my wife's dad and her brother who is amazing and latter worked on advance weaponry for Pratt & Whitney.

And last but not least my favorite veteran ever; is my wife
who served active duty in Killeen Texas in the early 1990's.

Hey, one thing I have in common with President Trump is we are both entertainers. All I have to say is I am really glad I stayed out of this election. Check this years posts; on this page, and you won't read any opinion either way. President Obama made allot of bad moves; that I, and many people obviously did not like. You have to be very careful when you are on that mountain top it is very easy to fall or get replaced. I live in a completely Republican controlled county and state so this is nothing new to me at all. I have always said online that I have never had problems in all my hundreds and maybe thousands of emails and letters I have sent them. They have always been very courteous to me and responded intelligently when they can.

I hope President Trump and the first lady remembers; all the online harassment and trolling that they have suffered, and like me are hurt by it. I hope they make trolling illegal like it should be and is already in other free country's.

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll

Internet slang, a troll is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people. for their own amusement. This to me is proof that these people are severely mentally challenged.

I am so very happy that so many people have voted and once again we have shown the world; thee way, it is done. The beauty of it all is breath taking to say the least. Amazing beyond messure the glory of our country marches on. I did comment about voting this year on this page, didn't I?:

October 25 2016:

I voted yesterday. Voting in our country is our duty. If you do not vote do not ever even talk about politics because you have no right what so ever. Many American solders have died for our freedom in our greatest country on earth. If you have to wait in line than do so remembering the sacrifices of our veterans like my wife and there family members like me. Waiting in line is a small sacrifice compared to having your loved ones ripped away from you to fulfill their duty's serving our country. During the 6 years my wife spent most of her active duty time away from me. that combined with her monthly weekends and 2 weeks a year risking her life in training; were the loneliest times of my life, not to mention the physiological trauma I had to endure. Waiting in line to vote for hours compared to the suffering of our veterans is a drop in the bucket.

I spoke to one of the employees at the voting booth and they told me that voting this year is up from about 400 to 600 people per day to about 1000 people per day this year. I am so happy to see so many people vote this year. We may not be able to read bills and laws like politicians; but with a little information we can vote smartly.

Long live America, my country, of my birth; in all it's beauty grandeur and magnificence. Now and since it's birth in 1776: the greatest type of government that has ever existed.

grandeur meaning:

splendor and impressiveness, especially of appearance or style.

"the austere grandeur of mountain scenery"

1776 from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Revolution

American Revolution:

The Continental Congress determined King George III's rule to be tyrannical and infringing the colonists' "rights as Englishmen", and declared the colonies free and independent states in July 1776. The British were forced out of Boston in 1776, but then captured and held New York City for the duration of the war.

I just keep pouring the great art out and I can't believe it myself; It show no signs of stopping.:

The problem with the entertainment industry today is they are trying to make the new generation like things older people liked. If you tell young people how great a movie was when you watched it and tell a young person you will like it too; they will automatically hate it. I keep saying this over and over and the older people today just don't get it. I went to college from 2001 to 2008; I know if you are over about 25 years old you are automatically the enemy and uncool. Older people are in total denial about this because for some reason they can not remember they were kind of like that when they were young. You watch the Bob Dylan movie Don't Look Back and watch as Bob expresses his dismay that older people get it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dont_Look_Back

Relocated the top of this blog to the bottom; making it less confusing to new visitors. I know my mom till this day only looks at the web page and does not tend to further view the website because it confuses her on how to navigate. I also believe that allot of people do not know how to scroll down a web page. I am assuming that there are allot of people out there like that; so I always have to think that way.

Don't forget today is daylight savings time.:

This weekend we grabbed an extra hour of sleep as we “fell back” into Standard Time and longer nights.

Daylight Saving Time ended at 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 6, which means you should have turned your old-school clocks back before you went to bed Saturday night, Nov. 5.

It is amazing how alike this South Park episode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poor_and_Stupid
Cartman wants to become a NASCAR racer, but he feels that he cannot because he is not "poor and stupid enough" to fulfill his dream.

and this movie: Talladega Nights: Plot: Ricky Bobby (Will Ferrell) is a man who grows up dreaming of going fast. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talladega_Nights:_The_Ballad_of_Ricky_Bobby

and this movie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Days_of_Thunder: Days of Thunder: plot results in Cole not finishing the races, mostly due to crashes or blown engines. After discovering that Cole does not understand the common terminology used by NASCAR teams. Cole becomes great when he learns the slingshot move also mentioned in Talladega Nights.

All the evidence points to the fact that you have to be really stupid to race in NASCAR.

Just thought I would post something funny since when I woke up and posted this my wife was watching Days of Thunder.

I have decided to stop putting roman numerals in the titles of my art work especially since I am nearing the hundredth Rad Life Illusion Man piece of art. Also this is because like my last Tank series I messed up the number order. While checking how many Rad Life Illusion Man's I completed I found out I have completed eighty seven. My next posted art will be my eighty eighth work of art in this series. Since I have done this I would like to re-post my 88 symbol I made when I completed 88 tanks for my last tank art series:

I made this to mark my eighty eighth tank drawing. Since it is Halloween I want to explain that there are 3, 6's in each circle of each of the eights. The Yin Yang symbol just looks so much like 6's that I decided to design this. There are 3 black 6's and 3 white 6's. See?

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yin_and_yang:

In Chinese philosophy, yin and yang (also yin-yang or yin yang, yīnyáng "dark—bright") describe how seemingly opposite or contrary forces may actually be complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the natural world, and how they may give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. Many tangible dualities (such as light and dark, fire and water, expanding and contracting) are thought of as physical manifestations of the duality symbolized by yin and yang. This duality lies at the origins of many branches of classical Chinese science and philosophy, as well as being a primary guideline of traditional Chinese medicine, and a central principle of different forms of Chinese martial arts and exercise, such as baguazhang, taijiquan (t'ai chi), and qigong (Chi Kung), as well as appearing in the pages of the I Ching

So happy Halloween! To celebrate I would like to post this cool animation I found on Google images from the best Heavy Metal Comedy known to man: Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny.:

from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenacious_D_in_The_Pick_of_Destiny:
Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny is a 2006 American rock musical black comedy film about comedy rock duo Tenacious D. Written, produced by and starring Tenacious D members Jack Black and Kyle Gass, it is directed and co-written by musician and puppeteer Liam Lynch. Despite being about an actual band, the film is a fictitious story set in the 1990s about the band's origins, and their journey to find a pick belonging to Satan that allows its users to become rock legends.

Spider-Man is so great that Two of the villain's have there own comics dedicated to themselves. I do not know any other comic book character like that. I like my drawing of Venom I did 2 days ago.

You know the one thing missing in the newer super hero movies? Emotion! Look at the Spider-man movies; even the newer ones; they all grab you emotionally. They make you want to stand up and cheer at the end. When I started collecting Spider-man one of the first things I remember is when Spider-mans first girl friend dies; it really made me feel sorry for Spider-man. I was hooked from that moment on. Remember I told you I owned Spider-man number 27? That issue shows Spider-man hot on the trail of the Green Goblin for revenge. Click here to see the cover. I own about 100 comics; I have been collecting since 2002, with many first editions number ones and twos.. One of the comics I have is a one in a series of comics; chronicling the deaths of villains and hero's, and it is a big series. That is why I love the new Deadpool movie so much; it engages you because it is way more realistic. Something that is sorely missing in movies today; all in our never ending quest to not offend anyone with the reality of life. I have always said the one reason we should all help each other out, is the one thing we all have in common; we are all going to pass on someday.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadpool

Deadpool (real name Wade Winston Wilson) is a fictional antihero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by artist/writer Rob Liefeld and writer Fabian Nicieza, the character first appeared in The New Mutants #98 (cover-dated February 1991). Initially Deadpool was depicted as a mercenary when he made his first appearance in The New Mutants and later in issues of X-Force, but later evolved into his more recognizable antiheroic persona. Deadpool is a disfigured and mentally unstable mercenary with the superhuman ability of an accelerated healing factor and physical prowess. He is known as the "Merc with a Mouth" because of his talkative nature and tendency to break the fourth wall, which is used by writers for humorous effect and running gags.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Liefeld Rob is little more than Amazing.:

Robert "Rob" Liefeld (born October 3, 1967) is an American comic book creator. A prominent writer/artist in the 1990s, he has since been called one of the most controversial figures in the comic industry.

In the early 1990s, the self-taught artist became prominent due to his work on Marvel Comics' The New Mutants and later X-Force. In 1992, he and several other popular Marvel illustrators left the company to found Image Comics, which started a wave of comic books owned by their creators rather than by publishers. The first book published by Image Comics was Rob Liefeld's Youngblood #1.

Check out this image from the great Eric Larsen. I met Eric in 1988 when I attended the San Diego Comic Convention. When I met him I felt like I was meeting my idle. He could tell this about me right away and he handled it perfectly. I had his comic in my hand and exclaimed how perfect his art was. He looked at the book in my hand and asked me; so you think that is perfect huh? If you notice there is a big black section in the cover art of this image. I can not be sure if this is the exact image but it was something like that. He was trying to tell me the art was blackened in because it was covering a mistake. I learned more than I ever did by sitting with and watching the artist those 3 days at the San Diego Comic Convention in 1988. I learned the rest by reading books like; Will Eisner's books on how to create comics.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Eisner

William Erwin "Will" Eisner (March 6, 1917 – January 3, 2005) was an American cartoonist, writer, and entrepreneur. He was one of the earliest cartoonists to work in the American comic book industry, and his series The Spirit (1940–1952) was noted for its experiments in content and form. In 1978, he popularized the term "graphic novel" with the publication of his book A Contract with God. He was an early contributor to formal comics studies with his book Comics and Sequential Art (1985). The Eisner Award was named in his honor, and is given to recognize achievements each year in the comics medium; he was one of the three inaugural inductees to the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame.

Drawing all this art has been pretty emotional to me. I don't acknowledge it to my self but it is true. "Comic book heroes never grow old" - Elton John - Roy Rogers Lyrics from Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. I hope you all enjoy this great artwork; like I have enjoyed comic book art all my life. I love it as much as anyone would; as a fan of comic book art myself. Always remember none of this would be possible without my muse and the love of my life; my precious wife.

You know who is my hero? Captain Fantastic. I was watch RoketMan on Dish yesterday and they play RocketMan at the end. RocketMan is a awesome movie; I have always loved it. Check out the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MWzEJLMjaE So I got out my Elton John music most of that I bought down at CD Source in Dallas, and cranked it way up with my giant Koss headphones I bought at the company store; when I worked at the Blockbuster warehouse. My dog was looking at me like I was crazy. He loves when I play air guitar when he plays catch with me. I played my game World Of Tanks while I listened and reminisced. I swear I play World of Tanks way better to music. I started collecting Elton John Albums when I was 8 years old and had all his coolest photos and posters on my wall at that age too.

Lyrics
Captain Fantastic, raised and regimented, hardly a hero
Just someone his mother might know
Very clearly a case for Corn Flakes and classics
"Two teas both with sugar please"
In the back of an alley

While little dirt cowboys turned brown in their saddles
Sweet chocolate biscuits and red rosy apples in summer
For it's hay make and "Hey mom, do the papers say anything good
Are there chances in life for little dirt cowboys
Should I make my way out of my home in the woods"

Brown Dirt Cowboy, still green and growing
City slick Captain
Fantastic the feedback
The honey, the hive could be holding
For there's weak winged young sparrows that starve in the winter
Broken young children on the wheels of the winners
And the sixty-eight summer festival wallflowers are thinning

For cheap easy meals, hardly a home on the range
Too hot for the band with a desperate desire for change
We've thrown in the towel too many times
Out for the count and when we're down
Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy
From the end of the world to your town

And all this talk of Jesus coming back to see us
Mmm mmm couldn't fool us
For we were spinning out our lines walking on the wire
Hand in hand went music and the rhyme
The Captain and the Kid stepping in the ring
From here on sonny sonny sonny, it's a long and lonely climb

For cheap easy meals, hardly a home on the range
Too hot for the band with a desperate desire for change
We've thrown in the towel too many times
Out for the count and when we're down
Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy
From the end of the world to your town

I love this part:

We've thrown in the towel too many times
Out for the count and when we're down
Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy
From the end of the world to your town

Elton made super quality music before there was super quality music.

Follow up to my last email with my mom:

My mom said:

Yes stress can not only rob you of a healthy, happy life but it can also kill you. What a lousy way to die. I do know people that allow to much stress and are unfortunately not strong enough to fight back and simply say no. They live in their past hurts and nurture these hurtful thoughts as if it all happened yesterday.

I said:

I made it my mission to overcome stress many years ago and have honed my ability's over the years. I refuse to dwell on the past. Dwelling on the past it is not good for you or morally healthy at all. It is not the right thing to do; it is the wrong thing to do. I have heard there is medication people take to help with the haunting's of the past. Just knowing that it is a serious enough problem with people that they must take medication for it; helps me to understand the seriousness of it. Understanding the seriousness of recollecting the past is all I need to let go of it. I guess it is just not a big deal with me. The past seems very trivial to me; compared to the day to day experiences of life.

My email to my mom I just sent:

Thank you for the encouragement. I am the same exact way. It is also very important for me to see the silver lining and my wife and I have so much to be optimistic about. I would rather focus on that. I will admit I sometimes get angry about the news and politics. I recognize it as the reason I am angry and refuse to acknowledge it and it goes away, like a bad thought. I chose acknowledge the optimism and this keeps stress away from me. After all stress is known to cause health problems.:

ac·knowl·edge
əkˈnäləj/
verb
1.
accept or admit the existence or truth of.
"the plight of the refugees was acknowledged by the authorities"
synonyms: admit, accept, grant, allow, concede, accede to, confess, own, recognize
"the government acknowledged the need to begin talks"
2.
(of a body of opinion) recognize the fact or importance or quality of.
"the art world has begun to acknowledge his genius"

Studies have found many health problems related to stress. Stress seems to worsen or increase the risk of conditions like obesity, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, depression, gastrointestinal problems, and asthma.

I have always loved, loved, loved this album, that came out in the prime of my motorcycle and college days:

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Kid#Discography

Simple Kid, real-name Ciarán McFeely, is an Irish-born solo musical artist.

Simple Kid's approach to recording involved recording to an 8-track cassette player then fed into his computer where he applied more modern techniques to create finished songs. He mixed and mastered the tracks on albums 1 and 2 on his own equipment. His style of remixing and sampling has been compared to Fatboy Slim's, although Simple Kid used his own recordings as sources. More often his sound is compared to the similarly eclectic and deliberately ramshackle Beck.

This is the first song from the Simple Kid Album - 1 (a.k.a. Simple Kid 1 or SK1)
Released September 2003 (UK), June 2004 (US)

Lyrics to Hello

My favorite lyrics outlined:

If you know, don't let it show
If yer strange, don't rearrange
If yer stoned, tell em I phoned….hello.
If yer real, say what you feel
If yer fake, jump in a lake
If yer gay, it's ok …say hello
Cos we all know the winds gonna blow
If it's new, that's so cool
If it's fame, that is so lame.
Cos we all know the rain's gonna stay
Now we don't wanna change you,
Rearrgange you, cos you look so good
And we don't wanna bleed ya,
It's good to see ya, cos we just wanna say…hello.

I have been known to post the local voting dates and times on this blog in the past. I shall continue that tradition; especially since this election is so contested and controversial.:

October 05 2016:

I am so happy Google fixed my blog. I did allot of html work yesterday as well and this page is behaving much better. I am convinced that the problem stems from Internet Explorer and the even worse Microsoft Edge. They are great browsers, but just not as popular as others. I broke down and downloaded Google Chrome and I really like it.

I will continue to work on fixing this blog's html. I also have allot of cool plans for my other blog I have with this great 4 year old, Google, Blogger Blogspot.com; account.

I had to remove the flag animation; because I suspected it could have been causing html problems. I will put my Saving Private Ryan Flag I made on top from now on.

The series of art is going great and I am enjoying it very much. To break my momentum now would be very upsetting and would hurt my artistic inspiration and ability.

Comic books are a large part of my life and that is what got me my contract at 27 years old with no college; with the largest skateboard company in the world at the time, Tracker Designs. I was a go for, and a janitor at the home office on Treemont in beautiful; Oceanside, California. I drew comics of that building and fictitious adventures I had there, as myself and the company logo; Trackerman. Trackerman lead to me inventing Radman. My long time friend and pen pal Jim Philips who did all the best art for Santa Cruz skateboards got his start as a comic artist too. These drawing come from my heart. I could write a page about each one. I did a great drawing of Daredevil yesterday. I loved to see Daredevil become such a fine art comic as it evolved. Daredevil always inspired me in that he did not have any definable super powers; he was just willing to do what most would not to serve and protect. His super powers were developed on their own without being exposed to radiation or being bite by a spider; in other words.

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daredevil_(Marvel_Comics_character)
Although the character is blind, his remaining four senses function with superhuman accuracy and sensitivity, giving him abilities far beyond the limits of a sighted person. Few characters know that the hero cannot see. Daredevil developed a radar sense, which is similar to echolocation. Writer/co-creator Stan Lee said that he was worried that blind people would be offended at how far he exaggerated the way a blind person's remaining senses are enhanced, but that his fears were assuaged by letters from organizations such as The Lighthouse for the Blind which said that blind people greatly enjoyed having Daredevil comics read to them.

Happy Fall Equinox!

Thursday, September 22 September Equinox 2016

As the midday sun begins to sink lower and nights get noticeably longer, it can only mean the reign of summer is coming to an end for the northern half of the world. The autumn equinox arrives at 10:21 a.m. ET (2:20 p.m. UTC) on September 22, officially marking the beginning of fall in the Northern Hemisphere and the start of spring in the Southern Hemisphere.

The word “equinox” comes from Latin and means “equal night,” referring to the roughly 12-hour day and night that occurs only on the two equinox days of the year.

This tidy split in our 24-hour day is linked to the reason Earth has seasons in the first place. The planet spins on an axis that is tilted 23.5 degrees with respect to its orbital plane. That means as Earth travels along its 365-day orbit, different hemispheres tilt closer to or farther from our sun’s warming rays

An equinox is a geometrical alignment between the sun and Earth in which the sun appears positioned right above our planet’s equator. On these days, both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres experience roughly equal amounts of sunshine. It’s also only on the spring and autumn equinoxes that the sun rises due east and sets due west.

As we head toward December, the Northern Hemisphere will tilt farther away from the sun and receive its rays at a steeper angle, creating longer shadows and cooler conditions indicative of winter. Eventually, the sun will reach its lowest point in the midday sky, marking the December solstice.

I do not take back anything I said yesterday. I have been posting on the internet about separation of church and state and sending letters to my senators in snail mail and signing petitions in favor of separation of church and state for 20 years. I do not resent it one single bit. I believe anyone that uses religion to make decisions on what laws to pass and such should be impeached. Darth Vader used religion; it was called the dark side. Beware all those that are so self confident about all their judgments against others; based on their religions, I was like you once and I had to learn that hard way that I was wrong.

I found this as I was researching a drawing I did today that my wife and my dog liked very much. When we first got our Frisbee pro dog on my birthday 2 years ago; one of the first things we remember is he looked all around our walls covered with my best paintings. He then looked at my wife and me as if to say he did all this? Wow! He actually looks at my new art as I do it in amazement; to this day. Some days he is too tired or excited about playing to pay attention.

Check out how many people do not believe in any sort of spirit, God or life force. The numbers keep growing, rapidly. Your time is running out; self righteous, right wing, religious fanatic, judgmental, hangmen in our governments. There are so many compromised middle of the road types that are completely in denial about being in with religion run governments.

So many government official types and supporters; who say, I do not see things black and white, I am different, I embrace all faiths and beliefs. These type of people will still do what ever they are told by closed minded bigoted people; to get their pay check. These lying to themselves, type; self deceived, cognitive distorted people. These haters in sheep's clothing; also use the law to please there true demented gaining pleasure from other peoples suffering side. They will try so hard to make you believe they are total free thinkers and in the mean time rest assure those they are subservient to; the religious power players, that they are committed to the cause of social injustice.

Then, there is people signing petitions to please cold hearted, uncaring, authorities to get a false sense of self-righteous recognition. I believe this comes from plane old cowardliness and fear.

The solution is simple for our country; we need what our forefathers wanted for us, from the pilgrims, to this day. Note this blog entry on this web page from: August 31 2016

I feel led lately with all that is going on to post this old post of mine:

I had the most awesome separation of church and state html that I worked tirelessly on, but alas I can not find it. I am sure it is some where in the tens of thousands of files I have saved over the past 15 years of blogging here. So I am just going to do some work and write it all over again. So use your little mouse and enjoy my free history lesson for you all.

I am not a atheist but,

I just can not get over the fact that people in authority of others still do not understand the importance of this Bill Of Right legacy of freedom, we all enjoy in our county. The Bill Of Rights and The Constitution and the birth of this country and the foundation of that, is why we are who we are; the greatest country in the history of the world. No religion has a right to dictate to us what prayers to say or how to live our lives. That does not mean we can not worship how we want to in America. If you live in American or especially have lived here for long enough to see the beauty of it, and still do not get it, I do not know what to tell you.

I am constantly reminded by the media, my politicians and local authority's and towns people, that they deny the very foundation of our country; separation of church. I have been very vocal about separation of church for over 20 years online.

One of the main reasons I love to support the ACLU is because of there stand for separation of church and state.

This subject I learned in all those great history classes I took as a child in Connecticut one of the oldest colonies in America.

"The Pilgrims' story of seeking religious freedom has become a central theme of the history and culture of the United States."

"This made it possible to settle at a distance that allayed concerns of social, political and religious conflicts, but still provided the military and economic benefits of relative closeness to an established colony."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_United_States

The MAYFLOWER! The Mayflower, the Mayflower, the Mayflower was ponded into my brain as a child in Connecticut and should be to every child today in America. The Mayflower contained the first Americans.

"Many of the passengers were Pilgrims fleeing persistent religious persecution"

If that is not enough for you than get a old American history book and read up on it yourself. If you love America like I do; then stand by separation of church and state, like you would our flag of freedom.

The rule is simple get up and walk around and stretch every twenty minutes. This is for your health.

Stand up, sit less and move more, researchers say; here's how to do it

from: http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/06/health/how-to-move-more/

(CNN) — You might want to stand up for this. A growing amount of research suggests that just standing -- even if you don't walk around -- can have health benefits.

A recent study in Australia found that participants who spent time more standing and moving in the course of a week, based on a sensitive monitor adhered to their thigh, had lower levels of blood sugar and cholesterol. The benefits were even greater, and including reductions in body-mass index and waist circumference, among those who took more steps during the day.

The researchers of the study boiled down their findings to the simple message: "Stand up, sit less, move more." The study was published last week in the European Heart Journal.

Although the research has been pretty clear that there are health benefits to not sitting, we are just starting to understand that standing alone may be a good alternative, said Dr. Francisco Lopez-Jimenez, director of preventive cardiology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. Lopez-Jimenez wrote an editorial that accompanied the study in the European Heart Journal.

"The reason [standing could be good] is because when we stand there are many muscles in our legs and butt and abdomen that are working to keep you standing," he said. "Whenever muscle is used, it consumes sugar and affects triglycerides," which could, in turn, lower cholesterol, Lopez-Jimenez said. Standing regularly could translate into lower diabetes and heart disease risk, he added.

Not just exercise

The current U.S. guidelines for physical activity focus on formal exercise, rather than just moving, and recommend at least 150 minutes a week of moderate intensity exercise such as jogging or biking. However, research suggests that even people who exercise face increased risk of heart disease, cancer and diabetes if they are otherwise sedentary.

Lopez-Jimenez thinks the lack of guidelines on sedentary behavior are "a problem because we have to start shifting the attention and consider more the idea of avoiding sitting." We need recommendations about many hours to avoid sitting, just like we have for the number of hours we should sleep, he added.

However it is hard to say exactly how to break up our nonsitting time between standing, walking and other activities because we don't know enough about their different health benefits, Lopez-Jimenez said.

In Australia, there are already specific recommendations about how much you should stand and how to do it. It is the first country to have such guidelines, Lopez-Jimenez said. In Colombia, government computers have software that pause the machines, forcing employees to take a break.

For now, Lopez-Jimenez advises his patients to engineer their lives to be less sedentary such as using a standing desk at work and taking the stairs whenever possible.

If we can manage to build more movement into our everyday activities, it might even be possible to skip the gym, although research is needed to address this possibility, Lopez-Jimenez. "If you barely sit during the day, do you really have to exercise to be healthy?" he said.

Timing is everything

Standing is great, but there can be too much of a good thing.

"It causes a whole variety of problems, just as if you sit for too long," said Alan Hedge, professor of ergonomics at Cornell University. In particular, standing for prolonged periods is associated with varicose veins and back pain, he said.

To get the right balance, Hedge recommends sitting 20 minutes out of every half hour at work, standing for eight minutes and moving around for at least two minutes. Although there is really no harm in spending more time in motion, you may be pretty tired by the end of the day if you do, Hedge said.

You can try to stick to this 20-8-2 breakdown by setting the alarm on your phone, using a timer app on your computer or relying on an old fashioned egg timer. "[But] these numbers are not absolute, it's a guideline. There may be times where you have to spend a whole half hour working on a document," Hedge said.

Following this guideline means that you would be standing up and sitting down 32 times in a workday, which could have its own benefits.

Each time you do that, you are giving your body a "gravitational stimulus," reminding it of the effect of gravity, which can help muscles and bones stay strong, Hedge said. In the book, "Sitting Kills, Moving Heals," Joan Vernikos, former director of NASA's Life Sciences Division, talks about research suggesting that 32 transitions in a day helps maintain healthy blood pressure.

Let the work rhythm move you

Even if you don't set a timer to tell you when to get out of your seat, there are a number of ways you can build more movement into your workday. Lopez-Jimenez suggests his patients set up their space so that things are not at arm's reach.

"Having a printer at the end of the hallway is going to force you to walk every time you print a page," he said.

These little life hacks can take many forms depending on what you do. For example, if you are an executive or administrator and have to be on the phone a lot, you could use an earpiece and talk while walking the hallway or standing in a conference room, Lopez-Jimenez said.

Workplaces are also starting to do their part to help staff get on their feet.

Some companies have moved vending machines to one central floor as an easy way to get you walking, Hedge said. "You're not even thinking, 'Oh well, I have to walk now,' " he added.

At Lopez-Jimenez's Mayo Clinic, some cardiology meeting rooms have treadmills at the back of the conference room so attendees can walk instead of sit or stand. "The product was so successful that we had to put up sign-up sheets," he said.

Stand by your work

Standing desks are all the rage, and they are an easy way to squeeze more vertical time into your day, Hedge said.

Adding one to your workspace does not have to be a big investment. Hedge recommends starting with a low-tech setup to see if you like it: "Three pieces of wood like a bench (on top of your desk), and you have your platform. And if that works, you can spend several hundred dollars on one," he said.

A number of adjustable standing desks are available that can help make the transition between standing and sitting seamless. They run the gamut from electronic to pneumatic, which slide up and down similar to the way an adjustable chair works.

"Whatever it is, has to be easy to use and quick, if you can't make an adjustment easily you are not going to use it," Hedge said. Try them out -- some of the electronic kind are slow, noisy and use a lot of electricity, while the pneumatic variety can be hard to adjust, he noted.

Putting a makeshift footrest -- a small box for example -- under the desk can make the standing arrangement more comfortable. Standing on one foot and having the other on a footrest, then switching feet, can ease strain on the back and feet, Hedge said.

Some people go so far as to set up an exercise machine such as a treadmill under their standing desk so they can move in place. Lopez-Jimenez uses a small electronic stair stepper, which he says was inexpensive, when he talks on the phone or dictates clinical notes. "I add a couple hours of not only standing but stepping," he said.

Doing your best work

One way to help mix up your time sitting, standing and moving is to figure out how you are most productive. Studies suggest you might not do as well with fine motor skills, such as typing or using a computer mouse, at a standing or treadmill desk, Hedge said. Likewise, for really focused work you might do better sitting.

"Anecdotally, treadmill desk companies have people sign waivers (for) if you get engrossed in what you are doing and propelled off the back (of the machine)," Hedge said.

For tasks such as reading, you might perform equally well sitting, standing or moving, Hedge said. Plus being on your feet has the advantage that it could keep you more alert, he added.

However, as Lopez-Jimenez pointed out, we still need more research to figure out which positions bring out the best in us. He is working on a study looking at how sitting, standing and walking or stepping affect typing and mouse work as well as our ability to concentrate and pay attention.

Take a stand for TV

There are many opportunities outside of the workplace to stand up for your health. Americans spend an estimated five hours glued to the TV, but we can help break out of this "couch potato syndrome" by watching standing up.

To make it easier to stay off the couch, some people have a treadmill, exercise bike or a stair stepper in front of the TV, Hedge said. A more low-tech way is to just to stand, and lean on a table or kitchen counter, while glued to the boob tube. Just like when you work at a standing desk, resting one foot on a rail or box can make the upright experience more comfortable.

Park far away and take the stairs

The advice to park a little farther away at work or the grocery store and walk is old but good, Hedge said. Another no-brainer is to take the stairs instead of the escalator or elevator if you are only going up a couple of flights. This could get easier as more new buildings are being designed that feature staircases prominently in the lobby instead of the emergency staircase that you have to search for, Hedge said.

"In our society, we value doing nothing or minimizing the physical effort that our legs and hands do, but we spend money to pay for the gym and do heavy exercise," Lopez-Jimenez said. "We need to start valuing activity more," he added.

Technology may be your aid

Wearable devices such as the FitBit, Virgin Pulse and Nike FuelBand, to name a few, can tell you how much you have moved in a day and estimate how many calories you have burned. But that requires you to be pretty active. Newer technology, such as the KAM device, can detect even minimal movements, Lopez-Jimenez said. And the Apple Watch actually keeps track of whether you have been standing or sitting.

Although today's wearable devices may not be all that accurate yet at measuring small changes in activity, "I think the trend will be toward continuing all these things," Lopez-Jimenez said.

This album is every where and if you can get it cheap buy one for all your friends.

Favorite lyrics from my all time favorite album of all time:

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotting_Pi%C3%B1ata

Rotting Piñata is the debut album by American rock band Sponge, released in 1994 on Work Records. Hit singles from this album, such as "Molly (16 Candles Down the Drain)" and "Plowed," helped launch the band's career and pushed the album to Gold.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQd4FYZL2rs&list=PLkpTFAHTRH_shQ9RnCrzN6z2KWgnXFOJ9

Lets face it without the music the lyrics mean nothing. This was this bands moment in time.

"Pennywheels" Best Lyrics":

you know

what it feels like
to be naked
to be ground

I dream

no one, yeah there's
no one that can't hear

"Rotting Piñata" Best Lyrics:

spill my insides out on

the ground
cut on me
i will go when i say die
i will rot away

see my soul

it cuts a hole in the sky

oh god help me rot

i don't look quite the
same
grab my beating heart
tear it from this broken
cage today

i'm rotting

i'm coloring
i'm red and black
i'm twice my size
don't cry for me
just pull the plug
and let me fly

i will rot away

"Giants" Best Lyrics:

i guess it's nothing new

'cause nobody's listening
it's like giants falling
down

"Miles" Best Lyrics:

Miles to go before I sleep

"Plowed" Best Lyrics:

Will I wake up some dream I made up

No I guess it's reality
What will change us or will we mess up
our only chance to connect with a dream

(chorus)

Say a prayer for me
iSay a prayer for me i
Say a prayer for me

"Drownin'" Best Lyrics:

I would never be happy
What will change tomorrow
In this sea within a sea
I'm blinded

How long will I be down

Here
I'm out of air
I can not breathe

"Rainin'" Best Lyrics (whole song):

Now and forever

The moment is gone and
Time runs out
Then it hits you with the
Pain
Things are great on the
Way up
But nobody is with you
When you're on the way
Down
You got what you wished
For
Is that what you really
Wanted
It's how I think of you
Raining in my

Indecision

Problems that took years
To build and build
And admission is too far
Away
Life in a blackout
Is like life in a storm
When you finally come out
You see that you're all
Alone
You got what you wished
For
Is that what you really
Wanted

The day you break is the

Day you're born
Then you deal with the
Blame
Is that what you wished
For
Is that what you really wanted

Copy of my email to my mom sent today:

Yes mom; I remember the gradual change in weather; slowly leading to summer and winter. Weird that is has so quickly disappeared. I blame it on the pollution of our planet.

found here: http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/michal-kravcik/sandy-canada_b_2060141.html

In the end, our future generations will only know winter and summer with very little in between the transitions. This is no longer just an environmental phenomenon of our daily lives; the current situation is fast becoming an existential phenomenon. To get a clear picture just take a look at the latest news from New York where the recent storm has had an impact upon the lives of millions of people. The recent events in Manhattan and beyond reveal that a more in depth understanding on the relationship between water and its functions on earth is called for.

I just want to say I have been ripped off for years and years. My wife and I have tried every paid movie station from HBO to Epix; and they are all a big rip off. We pay extra for these stations and never watch them because everything on them is not worth watching. We live in a modern society; with the internet and digital television and HDTV television system resolution transmitted into the airwaves for free; and we can not get a half way decent movie channel? What is going on?

Here are some offers I found; but there needs to be a lot more work on this problem, in my opinion:

People that lie? Even worse; people that lie about people, to make money. It is as stomach turning as rotten rot. Even Satan hates liars. I am good person; that is just the way it is. No big mystery just someone that cares about me and others. The comfort of accepting yourself is a means to the end of everyday. Everyday is chance to seek peace no matter how fleeting it may be few and far in between. I tiny piece of peace is better than millions of dollars.

I was educated by comic books. I read them word by word, cover to cover. I owned Spiderman 27 when I was about 8 years old. I am pretty sure I started collecting around that time. The Amazing Spiderman number 34 came out and I started to collect comics. I collected Amazing Spiderman and all the best Marvel and DC comics until about The Amazing Spiderman number 100; till we moved to the country at about age 14. I have been collecting comics all my life since then. To this day my favorite comics have always been Spiderman first of course. The Todd McFarlane and Eric Larsen drawings Spiderman comics are thee best comics ever made. I then followed them to the start off Image Comics. To this day the best comics I love the best are those first few years of Image Comics in California when we moved there. It seemed like Todd and Eric moved west exactly when my wife and I moved west. I would give all I have to go back to those days when we first moved to California. I am still happy though and in love with my wife and in the great state of Texas with the whippoorwill's and the armadillo's and the garden spiders and the garden snakes. Give me a T for Texas! I do not collect comics anymore; but I am sure if I did, I could find some great new ones anytime.

I just want to ad that I still love this dude after 40 or more years of my life. To think he would give a concert is pretty amazing.

Ever wonder who that guy Peyton is in all those cool mellow television commercials is? :

After undergoing neck surgery that forced him to miss the entire 2011 season, Manning was released by the Colts and signed with the Denver Broncos. Serving as the Broncos' starting quarterback from 2012 to 2015, his tenure saw the Broncos reach the top of their division each year and his playing career concluded with a victory in Super Bowl 50.

They counted him down and out and he came back to show them all up.

Email to me this morning:

Thank you for standing up to Save the Link.

The more people who take action to stop Internet censorship, the louder our collective voices will be. Please help spread the word—tweet or email the following link:

(http://SaveTheLink.org), and share it on Facebook. Tell everyone you know to speak out now:

Censoring links breaks the Internet

Links are essential to freedom of expression online, and experts warn that censoring links will break the Web as we know it.

The Web without links is like a world without roads.

Without links to route everyone around the Web, the wonders of the Internet would be locked away. They power Twitter, they power SoundCloud, they power your favorite blog: they power every site you visit.

Links are what empower us to access the greatest collection of human knowledge and experiences the world has ever seen with the click of a button.

Outdated media publishers are successfully lobbying all over the world to restrict linking on the Internet. Spain and Germany have recently changed their laws to apply charges to link to news websites. Independent news media and bloggers can’t do their jobs, aggregators are struggling, small presses find their websites unlisted, and access to knowledge is restricted. Now, old media firms have been pressuring lawmakers to apply link censorship laws to the whole EU.

Recently, our Save The Link campaign helped push the European Parliament to vote on a ground-breaking set of recommendations establishing that Internet users and companies should be able to freely link to content and services of their choosing. Now the European Commission is tasked with creating new laws that determine how we share and collaborate online. We must ensure that they listen to the Internet community and uphold the right to link.

Link censorship is a global issue, and these plans are happening all over the world.

In India, the Government blocks websites in a process “lacking in independent oversight and transparency.” The Supreme Court recently rejected challenges to this process, despite widespread criticism.

https://www.accessnow.org/blog/2015/03/24/supreme-court-of-india-issue-historic-ruling-on-free-expression-but-disappo

Meanwhile, in the United States, Big Media has been waging a long war against the Internet to protect their outdated business model. Lobbyists and lawyers have been fighting search engines, pressuring intermediaries to block access to websites, and attempting to block links and apply custom-like border controls to data and linking.

In Australia, the Government recently passed legislation allowing them to block links to popular sites hosting thousands of links to legal shared content, all in an ineffective effort to favour large US media lobbyists.

If one of these censorship schemes really takes hold it will hurt the online services we count on in our day-to-day lives.

We know that we are strongest when the Internet community acts together–and as more threats to the link emerge, it’s more important than ever that users and organizations join forces to defend our right to link.

Email I sent to my mom this morning:

From: https://weather.com/health/news/why-your-joints-hurt-when-weather-changes-20141105

Blame it on the barometric pressure: Any change in pressure, or the weight of the air pressing against the surface of the earth, can trigger joint pain or headaches in some people.

So when your great-aunt said she could "feel" a storm coming on, she was likely right.

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_pains

Weather pains or weather-related pain, is a phenomenon that occurs when people feel pain, particularly joint pain or migraine headaches correlating with changes in barometric pressure and other weather phenomena.

The majority of people who have conditions such as arthritis report feeling pain when a weather front is approaching. Other conditions reported in relation to this are any bone injuries, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

I like the way food tastes when it gets cooler. I do not like eating as much when it is hot. I had to have cold cuts latter in the day as a snack, because I did not want to eat at all. There are good things about cooler weather too.

If I had it my way I would live someplace warm all year though.

I told you about how hot weather can make you angrier. Now I have to tell you that cold weather can weaken you mentally. :

If I had it my way I would live someplace warm all year though.

I found this article:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/14/climate-health_n_4568505.html

Extreme weather events contribute to mental health problems.

People living in high-risk areas for extreme weather events like hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and

tsunamis may also be at high risk for physical and mental stress, not only because of the events themselves, but because of the recovery after the fact, The Weather Channel reported. According to a 2011 report from the National Wildlife Federation, global warming could have significant psychological and public mental health implications in the U.S. The NWF estimates that roughly 200 million Americans will be at an increased risk of psychological distress — including stress, anxiety-related disorders, substance abuse and suicides — because of climate-related issues.

Day-to-day weather does affect your mood (if it’s already a bad one).

If you’re in a good mood, chances are, bad weather won’t bring you down too much. But if you’re feeling crummy already, a cold, dreary day could easily make your mood go from bad to worse.

In reference to my last post about my email to my mom, about California:

Yep I love to reminisce about the old days. About growing up in the late 1960's and 1970's on the mean, ultra cool, streets of the East Coast, not far from New York City . Being in the beating heart of the hip people of Southern and Central California; in the 1980's and early 1990's. Then moving to Killeen, Texas; then it all goes into slow motion after moving here to Collin County; like a record player that got unplugged. Never the less I am proud to live here. My sentiment runs deep here in Collin County. The heartfelt, downhome, soulful, kind, caring, trustworthy; people here always makes me feel good about living here. The majority of the people around these here parts: define the words; "heartfelt, downhome, soulful, kind, caring, trustworthy; people".

I still can not help but take my Glory Days with me where ever I go.

Glory Days By Bruce Springsteen

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOIuXsQ0tBM

Lyrics:

I had a friend was a big baseball player

Back in high school
He could throw that speed ball by you
Make you look like a fool boy

Saw him the other night at this roadside bar

I was walking in, he was walking out
We went back inside sat down had a few drinks
But all he kept talking about was

Glory days, well they'll pass you by

Glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days

Well there's a girl that lives up the block

Back in school she could turn all the boy's heads
Sometimes on a Friday I'll stop by
And have a few drinks after she put her kids to bed

Her and her husband Bobby, well they split up

I guess it's two years gone by now
We just sit around talking about the old times,
She says when she feels like crying
She starts laughing thinking about

Glory days well they'll pass you by

Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye

Boring stories of glory days

Email I sent my mom about the beach, she lives on the beach:

Life's a Beach. I bought a skateboard from the actual Life's a Beach corporate location in Carlsbad, California around 1988. I made the rounds to all the skateboard company's trying to sell my art and get a job doing art in southern California.

from here:

http://blog.urbanoutfitters.com/blog/featured_brands_lifes_a_beach

There aren’t many brands that can evoke such visceral nostalgia as Life’s A Beach. Immersed in this booming world of extreme sports in the mid-80’s, founders Jeff Theodorakis and Mark and Brian Simo hustled their way to Carlsbad, California, slinging their wildly patterned styles along the way. With a design aesthetic that channeled the energy of the culture they loved, the brand came to represent the golden age of highflying action sports. Whether you’re a nostalgist or newcomer, Life’s A Beach is back. And it’s as good as it ever was.

Her response: I see that logo on a lot of things now like tire covers, bumper stickers just to name a few.

I like this song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cd2yG7BiVg

My re-write of the lyrics:

I'll make art for you

That's what I'm here to do
To make art for you

Original lyrics:

I'll sing a song for you
That's what I'm here to do
To sing for you

I believe in this life; we need to do everything we can, to help others we can help.

I thought up this quote and then looked up quotes like it on the internet:

"Help them that need help or you will need help and no one will help you" - the artist of the web site radman_art

Other Quotes:

“He has a right to criticize, who has a heart to help.”

Abraham Lincoln

“I don't want to live in the kind of world where we don't look out for each other. Not just the people that are close to us, but anybody who needs a helping hand. I cant change the way anybody else thinks, or what they choose to do, but I can do my bit.”

Charles de Lint

“Remember this. Hold on to this. This is the only perfection there is, the perfection of helping others. This is the only thing we can do that has any lasting meaning. This is why we're here. To make each other feel safe.”

Andre Agassi

“It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed.”

Napoleon Hill

“It's hard to make things right for everyone." "But if everybody helped just one person, lots of people would get helped.”

Linwood Barclay

“Although an act of help done timely, might be small in nature, it is truly larger than the world itself.”

Thiruvalluvar, Thirukkural

“However little you may be, you can always be a giant by helping others!”

Mehmet Murat ildan

“I know what it's like to desperately need help, and what I think is it would feel really good to be on the other side, to be able to give help to people who need it, desperately or otherwise.”

Dean Koontz

“Sunrise is the time to feel that you will be able to find out how to help somebody close to you who you think needs help even if he doesn't think. At sunrise everything is luminous but not clear”

Norman Maclean

This is the exact type of art I did when I was official labeled a artist by my entire grade school. What a glorious day that was. It reminds me of a song I will redo the lyrics on. :

Waylon Jennings - Mama's Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlIEoKg8ZQg

Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be ARTISTS.

Don't let 'em pick ART SUPLYS or DO ARTWORK.
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such.
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be ARTISTS.

This song comes from a awesome country album. In the 1970's all country music was pretty cool; Even the traditional style. see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waylon_%26_Willie

I just created this underground, forgotten, historical webpage: Big Tanks 2016 I hope it is enjoyed for the original American art that it is. America creates artwork like no one can around the world. I do not ignore American art, it is and forever will be my favorite art. It could be that forgetting the art of our American culture and our American, will be the downfall of us all.

I do not mean to sound morbid but in my defense; it is a fact I am a big fan of Morbid Angel since I posted this in; May 16, 2014 from this page: http://radmanart2ndhome.blogspot.com/p/mark-ryden.html this is one of my best post's follow the links if you love metal music you will be amazed.

Morbid Angel is not a Black Metal band but since they are so cool I am adding them any way. Morbid Angel is number 21 in the top 24 of the worlds greatest Black Metal bands; even though they are Death Metal. I love this band, the guitar riffs are amazing. Around the year 2002, I was in CD Warehouse in Plano and they had 2 used CDs of this great band one was a 2 CD issue of Heretic. I did not know if I should buy it or not so I asked the attendant there what he thought. His eyes got real wide and he said that Morbid Angel was the first metal band that he liked and they were awesome. There is something I created about the first metal band I liked Marilyn Manson. I listened to NIN recently and have come to terms with the fact that NIN is a dark form of metal music; so NIN is really the first metal band I liked. Without NIN Marilyn Manson would not have produced his best music. I made this because of my first favorite metal bands; it is still one of my best drawings I have ever done 2 years before I started college. This is a animation I made using the drawing as it's theme:

Around 2002 I bought the CD: Heretic is the seventh studio album by the Florida death metal band Morbid Angel. I also got Domination that day. That was it; I became a Morbid Angel fan for life.

I latter was lucky enough to find this used CD at Cd Warehouse. The art of this cd has been the subject of some of my art, although it would be difficult for you to see it in my art. I like the skull art, a American staple:

21 Morbid Angel

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateways_to_Annihilation

Unlike most of the bands I like Morbid Angel is extremely popular all over the world and rightfully so check out this guitar solo in the is awesome YouTube video. Go to 29 minutes in this video to see what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr_MvlrTyvc This guitar is amazing and this guitar player Trey Azagthoth has got to be one of the greatest in the world.

Morbid Angel is an American death metal band based in Tampa, Florida. UK music magazine Terrorizer ranked Morbid Angel's 1989 debut Altars of Madness first in its list "Top 40 greatest death metal albums". Decibel Magazine also rated guitarist Trey Azagthoth as the number one "death metal guitarist ever"

I have been locked out of my Google account for the past 4 days. They said it was a security breach but it was not. I kept trying to regain it by using the options but they were all dead and un working links. What a nightmare! I have worked for 5 years to build this Blog and my YouTube Channel. I will research this further, but I do not suspect anyone of hacking my Google accounts. Why would anyone want to hack my blog? Everything in this blog is posted on this blog. All this just so happens to be taking place at the exact time the entire interface has change for Google account access.

I love this quote because it best describes me after 30 years of marriage:

"My doing days are over, Jefferson. I'm done." - Al Bundy Married With Children - Season 8 Episode 2.

Script: found here:

http://www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk/view_episode_scripts.php?tv-show=married-with-children&episode=s08e02

Don't get me wrong I love my wife very much and she has made me happy everyday since I met her. This quote best describes my sex drive and that is cool with me. I am older now and I accept that I am not as young as I was. This is normal; not like Hollywood and the media love to describe older men as viral and strong. It is funny if you think about it, and Married With Children is always hilarious.

I love this song. This song best describes how I feel about being a artist:

Unsatisfied

The Replacements
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DU6IndADEWI
Album: Let It Be:

Look me in the eye then tell me that I'm satisfied

Was you satisfied?
Look me in the eye then tell me that I'm satisfied
Hey, are you satisfied?

And it goes so slowly on

Everything I've ever wanted
Tell me what's wrong

Look me in the eye and tell me that I'm satisfied

Were you satisfied?
Look me in the eye then tell me I'm satisfied
And now are you satisfied?

Everything goes

Well, anything goes all of the time
Everything you dream of
Is right in front of you
And everything is a lie (or) And liberty is a lie

Look me in the eye and tell me that I'm satisfied

Look me in the eye, unsatisfied
I'm so, I'm so unsatisfied
I'm so dissatisfied
I'm so, I'm so unsatisfied
I'm so unsatisfied
Well, I'm-a
I'm so, I'm so unsatisfied
I'm so dissatis... dissatis... satis...
I'm so

All righty then. I have been looking at my first, art post; of Rad Life Illusion Man since I last posted this on August 6, 2016. I always set as background my last work of art. I and my wife and mom are my best fan. The posted image is way too small; you can not see it. So I made this page: http://radmanart2ndhome.blogspot.com/p/rad-life-illusion-man-large-images.html I know you all will like it, so; your welcome.

August 06 2016:

It has been a while since I updated, this is not something I normally do; check the dates on this page as proof. My wife likes to watch Frasier every morning when we wake up in the morning on the Hallmark Channel. She will not allow me to watch anything else. When I turn the TV on in the morning; I can feel her eyes on me as I select the channel. I do not dare to turn it to anything else; besides I really like to watch Frasier, also. I have noticed a distinct relationship between how Frasier and his father got along and how my father and I got along. I remember when I was between 11 years old and 13 years old; I liked sports. This was also the time I played a sports in school for the first time. Basketball at Saint Johns was a very big deal. We would play other Catholic schools for the championship. I used to buy sports books and wear sports clothing and collected little football mini helmets. I knew all the teams by color and still do from back then. I had the coolest Raiders jacket back then; that I wore all the time. The Raiders were my favorite football team then. My favorite now is my dads favorite and my grandpas favorite; The Giants. After spending almost half my life with my dad and my grandpa watching the Giants games it finally sunk it. Frasier reminds me of my dad and me because although I was never into sports; I could really get into a game and would occasionally do this with my dad. Those times were a real bonding time for me and my dad.

Enough talk; on with the show. I have started a new series like I have been doing: with a complete series. Remember what I have said here in the past: a series is only a series with 3 or more works of art. This series is called Rad Life Illusion Man. It will be done in the tradition of my last two series and I hope to use everything I have practiced at; with those series. They will all be 8.5 inches by 11 inches on paper done with pencil and as always sprayed with fixative to last a life times.

I was playing my video game and someone said something like, no one gives a ***. I love my cuss word filter, I would not play without it. After reading this trolling, I was inspired to write this quote of mine: "No living being will ever care about all those who do not care about other living beings" - the artist of the website radman_art. Trolling like cyber bullying and cyber stalking will become a official cyber crime someday, and we will all be better off for it. The basic meaning of trolling is when someone says something mean to someone to amuse themselves. Imagine that? I am fortunate enough to have never had this mental disorder.

The meaning of the word care:

The provision of what is necessary for the health, welfare, maintenance, and protection of someone or something. Serious attention or consideration applied to doing something correctly or to avoid damage or risk. Feel concern or interest; attach importance to something.

Here are some of my favorite quotes about care:

"Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships.”-Ansel Adams

“Love seeks one thing only: the good of the one loved. It leaves all the other secondary effects to take care of themselves. Love, therefore, is its own reward.”-Thomas Merton

“I'm glad to know that that can happen. That that exists. And we really still care about each other a lot,...The Road and the Radio.”-Kenny Chesney

“Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.”-Mother Teresa

“I care not what others think of what I do, but I care very much about what I think of what I do! That is character!”- Theodore Roosevelt

July 26 2016:

Check out this video I made of myself this morning: https://youtu.be/7qoK_m17fU0

I made this video today after just completed 30 drawings of tanks. I am holding in my hands the first and last drawings I created; out of the total 30 drawing set. This is a type of blooper because, I did not realize I was holding one of the drawings upside down.

Here is some more art from my unwavering resolve to not giving up on art to your view. All of this art is 8.5 inches by 11 inches on paper done with pencil. This art has taken me over a month to finish.

All though I hate war and war machines the boy in me still likes to play army men. The dates and names of the art are in each image's file name, per every three.

Mechanical art has been my favorite since I drew a monster truck for a local acquaintance. Then came the car engines then that huge series of mechs, tanks and spaceships then I quit creating art series then I did a year of stylus art found on my 2015 page Radman_Art Blog Homepage 2015 . :

Jimmy Cliff - "You Can't Keep A Good Man Down" Lyrics

CHORUS:

You can't keep a good man down,
No, You can't keep a good down,
You can't keep a good down ,
No, You can't keep a good down,

Oh come into my parlor,

said the spider to the fly,
without this here parlor,
you can never get by
but I said I don't trust no shadow,
Trust no shadows of a doubt,
your parlor is looking nice,
but I'm not one you can tie,

Chorus

Oh, I know You can't keep a good man down,
No, You can't keep a good down,
You can't keep a good down ,
No, You can't keep a good down,

Well your facing the good,

The good they die young
Well I'm here to tell you,
That you are wrong,
You see love is my foundation,
ooh my redeemer,
strong is my manner,
so you see I'm one exception

Chorus

Well ya pick 'em up and kick 'em down

can't keep a good man down
Well ya pick 'em up and kick 'em dowm
can't keep a, can't keep him down

You see love is my foundation,

and a waste of my capital
strong is my manner,
so you see I'm one exception

Eddie Money - Can't Keep A Good Man Down Lyrics

I can see where I'm going

Although the road's not clear,
Sometimes it don't seem so, but I know:
You can't keep a good man down!

I buy the paper nearly every day, but I-

Ain't got time to read it, you know-
Ain't no jobs for me in there now anyway but I know-
You can't keep a good man down!

You can't keep a good man down

You can't keep a good man down
You can't keep a good man-
You can't keep a good man down!

Please don't talk about the plans you've made, honey

I've made some plans myself... you know-
Sometimes the sign says stop but I go and you-
Can't keep a good man down! Listen-

you can't keep a good man down, yeah

You can't keep a good man down
I admit I'd rather fight than quit-
Can't keep a good man down!

Babe! Let's go!

Now take that rich boy who stays home all day, hehe

He's got so much, he really ain't got nothing to say
I'm on the streets and I cover the whole town
Ain't got no money, but you can't keep me down!
No way!

Please don't talk about the plans you've made

I've made my plans for me
You might lock me up, but I'm gonna break free-
You can't keep a good man down!

You can't keep a good man down, like I said now-

You can't keep a good man down, believe me
Don't get tough 'cause I can play too rough-
You can't keep a good man down!
You can't keep a good man down, like I said
You can't keep a good man down, you can't beat me-
I admit I'd rather fight than quit
You can't keep a good man down!

James & Bobby Purify - You Can't Keep a Good Man Down

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HazUOcmbXA

A attribution to the biblical account of Joseph , his position in Egyptian society (Genesis 39:2–39:3)

Can't Keep a Good Man Down, an album by rapper Lil Rob

"You Can't Keep a Good Man Down", a song by Rose Ann Marks and Billy Ward that reached No. 8 on the R&B charts in 1953.

I always thought this was just a saying, and not a song title by many great bands. This goes for all those great women out there too; like women of the human rights group W.A.R., and the ACLU and the women’s rights movement and all those women out their protecting American freedom.

I believe my GMail account is be broke. I ad people to my radmanart Google Plus accounts constantly! There should be many faces on my radmanart blogspot blog; yet there is none! My yahoo radman_art account political blog with google that I have; has lots of faces, yet I rarely ad people on Google Plus, and that blog is very controversial.

Well, well it is almost the end of July in the second half of the year 2016 and we are all still here in our glorious country doing great. I remember back in about the between the year 2000 and 2002 some of the worst days and seconds of my life. I remember I heard this poem at the end of the Pink Floyd Concert, back then, and I thought to myself; this best describes me and my life since I cried into this world the day I was born. I thought this so strongly I actually wrote this poem down and took it before the people who would just assume kill me; than to look at me.

To my good neighbors and fellow Texans, that abound in Texas I dedicate this poem too:

"Outside The Wall"

All alone, or in twos

The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall
Some hand in hand
Some gathering together in bands
The bleeding hearts and the artists
Make their stand
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall after all it's not easy
banging your heart against some mad buggers
Wall

I remember back in 2011; when I decided to never post art on the internet ever again that I have created from my blood sweat and tears. All of that artworks of my soul; that I have not shown till this day. Two pieces I remember the most are; 6 or more pages of comic art I painted in watercolor and the best dragon I ever drew in small size. Also I discovered a small 5” x7” watercolor I did back then this morning. It has a flame background with a blood ocean. I never finished the body so the body still had pencil showing. I dusted it off and sealed it up and called it done and hung it in my room of colorful paintings (the dinning room). You can barely see the way in this room. I feel that way now, like stopping showing my art on the net; but not really. Stay tuned to see; or not to see, a huge amount of brand new art.

Long live Texas; because we are great people, meant for greatness, for great people! America; we are good clean patriotic Americans. Texas solders gave their life to protect the land of the free, more than any other state.

To me ICP is all about; liking what you like no matter what anyone says. You don't like things because they are popular. You don't say you like things to fit in. You don't say you like things you do not to make friends. You will never like things simply because your religion says you have no other choice. I could keep going on with this for hours. And the same is true for not liking things you really do. To lie to yourself is a great step forward into a mentally challenged mind; and in desperate need of psychiatric care.

No song says it better than this song from my all time favorite Album by ICP. I heard Violent J explain this song. He said it is about becoming famous and having all these people around you; that you are completely indifferent to.

Some favorite quotes:

"Upon the death of my father, our family and myself were emotionally and financially exhausted."

Sam Sheppard

"The sudden loss of her father was like living with a wound that would never heal, yet her memories of him were fading more and more every day."

Frank Beddor

Happy Fourth of July. Let us not forget; what Independence Day means. : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_Day_(United_States)

Independence Day was won by the death's and sacrifices of our fellow American Veterans, like my grandfather in WWII and my dad who served while the Vietnam war raged on, and the love of my life; a Veteran who served here at Fort hood, Killeen Texas : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Hood

The Fourth of July is a celebration of the victory of our country's victory of the American Revolutionary War: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Revolutionary_War

While I hate war with all my being like most veterans do. If it came to pass where I had to fight in a war for my country, to defend life liberty and the American way; I would.

Casualties and losses of the American Revolutionary War:

Great Britain: 4,000 army troops killed in battle (North America only) 27,000 army troops died of disease (North America) 1,243 navy killed in battle, 42,000 deserted, 18,500 died from disease (1776–1780)

Germans: 1,800 killed in battle

4,888 deserted

7,774 dead from all causes

France: 10,000 battle deaths (75% at sea) Spain: 5,000 killed

Netherlands: 500 killed

United States: 6,824 killed in battle 25,000–70,000 dead from all causes Overall casualties up to 50,000

I just wanted to repost something I posted last year:

July 2015 02 2015

hot weather makes people angrier

people are outside a lot more during the hot weather, so there is a drastically increased chance of people meeting each other in circumstances that would result in a violent altercation

Added to this, schools are closed for summer, meaning hordes of adolescents are left to roam the streets with their rebellious, aggressive tendencies. With all this to consider, no wonder there’s a spike in the stats! Especially in cities, which are usually much warmer than elsewhere.

the physiological reactions to heat are responsible. Raised temperatures cause an increase in heart rate, testosterone, and other metabolic reactions that trigger the sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the fight-or-flight response, so people are more inclined to fight.

When people are experiencing discomfort and the resultant stress due to something they have no control over, it makes them angry

people exposed to unpleasant “negative” stimuli will be predisposed to anyone they associate with the unpleasant thing, which in the heat is potentially everything.

From: http://www.theguardian.com/science/brain-flapping/2015/jul/03/summer-hot-weather-anger-psychology

Simple precautions, such as seeking air conditioning, drinking plenty of water, and dressing appropriately, may help reduce cases of heat rage, experts tell WebMD. The best way to protect yourself is to "stay cool and find air conditioning when it gets too hot," Bell says.

"Drink eight 8 oz. glasses of water a day or more in extreme heat, wear light clothing, a porous hat, and avoid crowding if possible," Bachrach says. "Prevention is rather simple."

I decided to make a good old fashioned gif file instead of a video for you all; of my dog catchin Frisbee like a catchin fool. You can really see that Pets Mart logo like he wants you to see it. He makes some amazing catches lately. One time he watched go over his head then caught it from around to the front of him. The best ones is when it doe not touch the ground at all. This gif file is a great catch for sure no where near touching the ground and he catches it after watching it over his head. This is kind of a big file and may take a minute. Check it out:

Ok. Remember how I told you about roasted garlic on this page on June 05 2016: ?

I just thought this up:

Radman_art's 30 second garlic sauce:

Take roasted garlic and squish it all up until it turns to liquid in your meat sauce and pour it over steak, pork, chicken or seafood; while you are frying it! Or ad it over your baked meat or seafood. Or do this to your pasta sauce; and on and on. It is amazing how roasted garlic liquefies!

Amazing the day after I mention I liked channel 47; they are in dispute with Dish over money. It seems like no matter what you do you can not watch television any more. It is really despicable. When I was a kid all you needed was a good antenna. It is sick what goes on today with television stations; never getting enough money.

http://www.wsj.com/articles/tribune-tv-stations-blacked-out-on-dish-network-over-dispute-1465797307

Unable to come to terms on a new distribution agreement, Tribune Media Co. said its 42 television stations and the WGN America cable channel had gone dark on satellite broadcaster Dish Network Corp.

Approximately 5 million Dish subscribers in 33 markets across 34 states and the District of Columbia lost access to local TV stations owned by Tribune late Sunday. About 7 million aren’t receiving the WGN America network.

At issue are fees Tribune is seeking for carriage of its stations and WGN America. In a statement, Dish Network said Tribune was demanding an unreasonable price increase for its local channels, which are available free with an antenna. In addition, an increase for WGN America isn’t warranted because the channel no longer carries Chicago Cubs games and its ratings are down in Dish homes, the satellite broadcaster said.

“Tribune is using local viewers as leverage to raise rates for WGN America—a channel that is in decline,” said Warren Schlichting, executive vice president of programming for Dish.

Dish has offered to provide free antennas to its customers so they can receive the Tribune television stations. Tribune owns or operates 42 stations in many of the nation’s biggest markets including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington, D.C. Many of its stations are affiliated with the CW Network but it also owns affiliates of CBS, ABC, NBC and Fox.

June 16 2016:

You know me when I find stuff I like on Dish I always post it here. I love the old sitcoms, they remind me of the good old days. The Laff TV appeared of nowhere. My wife was checking channels and found it. We get to watch Drew Carry, Cybill and Ellen and Empty Nest! These were my wife's and I's favorite shows when we met. I liked Ellen when she was a stand up comic. When she first started her TV series; I was elated. Also channel 47 has gotten more awesome lately! I get to see Addams Family, Good Times and the Jefferson's everyday. Long live those old sitcoms! I loved watching those old reruns when I was a child and I still love all of them today. Old cartoons on the other hand; although I loved them as a child, I hate them now. I love new cartoons like Ren and Stimpy, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Sealab 2021 and Space Ghost Coast to Coast, though.

One thing I have always loved about the show Good Times; is the character J. J. as a artist. Now latter in life I really love watching him as a brilliant actor portray this very special person. I fell like him. J.J. lived in the projects of the lower income part of time yet his family and acquaintances treated him like a movie star. I can not exactly say that about myself, but the good folks around here have always have been extremely nice to me in a kind of sort of way like that. J.J. was not really a artist at all and that makes his acting even more amazing! The artist was a actor and professional football player though. Check out what I found:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernie_Barnes

Ernest Eugene Barnes, Jr. (July 15, 1938 – April 27, 2009) was an African-American painter, well known for his unique style of elongation and movement. He was also a professional football player, actor and author.

Throughout the Good Times television series (1974–79) most of the paintings by the character J.J. are works by Ernie Barnes. However a few images, including "Black Jesus" in the first season (1974), were not painted by Barnes. The Sugar Shack made its debut on the show's fourth season (1976–77) during the opening and closing credits. In the fifth season (1977–78) The Sugar Shack was only used in the closing credits for five early episodes during that season. In the sixth season (1978–79), The Sugar Shack was only used in opening credits for the first eight episodes and in the closing credits for five early episodes during that season. In the fifth and sixth seasons (1977–79), The Sugar Shack appears in the background of the Evans family apartment.

I made this this morning and it is my most favorite graphic design project; I ever made. It is my most favorite quotes about art; that speak to me personally. Since I made it; I can not stop reading it; over and over. I put it as desktop background and will continue to read it. Click on it to read it better. :

I was raised a Sicilian from the east coast. Italian food; that is the greatest in the world, was readily available to me, all my life. My formative years were spent eating my grandmothers; 100 percent authentic Sicilian food, from the moment I woke up, till I went to sleep. I just learned this thanks to the internet, and I want to pass it on to you:

Take a small piece of tin foil and coat it with a thin layer of olive oil; I use my fingers to spread it around. Peel as many garlic cloves that you have time to peel; all the way to the garlic. Place the peeled garlic on the foil and dash some more olive oil on it. Wrap the foil around the garlic like a ball. Place it in a toaster oven, not preheated, at 400 degrees. Bake it for 40 minutes till brown.

It tastes like candy as soon as it is done. It makes the garlic so soft you can spread it on your favorite bread. The health benefits are through the roof!

Paintings sold for 300 million dollars:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interchange_(de_Kooning)

The painting: Interchange is a painting by abstract expressionist painter Willem de Kooning. It measures 200.7 by 175.3 centimetres (79.0 by 69.0 in) and was completed in 1955. In September 2015, it was sold by the David Geffen Foundation to Kenneth C. Griffin for $300 million, the highest price for a painting to date. It has been on loan at the Art Institute of Chicago.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_Will_You_Marry%3F

The painting: When Will You Marry? (Tahitian: Nafea faa ipoipo) is an oil painting from 1892 by the French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin. On loan to the Kunstmuseum in Basel, Switzerland for nearly a half-century, it was sold privately by the family of Rudolf Staechelin to Sheikha Al-Mayassa bint Hamad Al-Thani, in February 2015 for close to US $300 million (£197 million), the highest price ever paid for a work of art.

Painted during Cézanne's final period in the early 1890s, there are five paintings in the series. The versions vary in size and in the number of players depicted. Cézanne also completed numerous drawings and studies in preparation for The Card Players series. One version of The Card Players was sold in 2011 to the Royal Family of Qatar for a price variously estimated at between $250 million and $300 million, making it the second most expensive work of art ever sold.

I love sourdough bread. I got spoiled while living in California for 8 years before my wife joined the army and they moved us here. California has the best sourdough bread on earth. You could easily find a fresh, sometimes still warm loafs of phenomenal sourdough bread in any supermarket in California. I have finally found a very good sourdough bread at the local Kroger store here.:

Here are some photos of me in my magnificent youth. I have wanted to post them for years. Now that I am scanning so much I just threw them in this morning for your viewing pleasure or displeasure; who cares. The fact that I have almost 12,000 hits not to mention cell phone hits that I suspect do not register as hits. Also, BlogSpot does not register hits by the author; a feature I like. This fact is proof positive that many people like my blog.

These words best describe me in my youth in my picturesque, breathtaking, panoramic; home town, where my father was a great police officer:

stately, dignified, distinguished, solemn, magnificent, grand, splendid, resplendent, glorious, sumptuous, impressive, august, noble, awe-inspiring, monumental, palatial; statuesque, Olympian, imposing, marvelous, sonorous, resounding, heroic, majestic

When my wife graduated from her basic training she came home to me in California for two weeks in 1991 before she started her AIT in Georgia. She exhibited behavior, to me like I had never seen before. She had become a true solder in every sense of the word. No wonder they begged her to be airborne. Two things that stand out in my mind about her back then; her ability to see sharp like I never thought possible. She could see far and excellent; things I could not see. One other thing that I thought was very radical; was her Cadence songs. She used to sing on key things like; the next thing you know your best friend 's head was blown off. Forgive me I do not know the words exactly. I ask her about it today and she seems to block it from her memory. Those songs I heard from her when she got out of basic were the coolest songs I ever heard.

I swear I heard her sing one, that went like this:

May 18 2016:

I have been wanting to blog about this for a long time:

Why can't someone make a paid station that is worth the money? When people say to me 10 dollars a month; I see $120.00 a year in my head. We have tried HBO, EPIX and the Starze Channel here; in about the past year and they all fall short. Epix is my favorite so far though. I love just letting the TV play whether I am playing a game or doing art or cleaning the house. Who wants to be a slave to the DVD player or VCR? In this day and age where movies are rated and sifted through over and over; why can't someone make a good paid movie station?

I have always hated suicide since I was a astute Catholic school boy living out my childhood in a top notch private Catholic school to this day of my enlightened spiritual being. I would never commit suicide and consider it murder. Why would anyone want the last thing they do on earth to be murder? When you kill yourself it is the murder of a human being even if it is your self.

This amazes me; because the genius director chose a great song for a scene about suicide by a virtually unknown artist who committed suicide. :

I just found out from a search, for my wife; just now, that a song from one of my favorite movies:

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Royal_Tenenbaums)

from one of my favorite directors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wes_Anderson : has a song in it during a suicide scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8dWtK4H7cE was the best song ever made by Elliott Smith: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgNgvCLRqWc who stabbed himself in the heart. What a way to commit suicide. Think about it. How do you do that? That made me think of this guy:

Fugitive kills self with letter opener:

http://www.montrosepress.com/sports/fugitive-kills-self-with-letter-opener/article_73bd7ba6-ed65-11e4-a325-47112400cb5f.html

Posted: Tuesday, April 28, 2015 2:00 am
Wanted sex offender John E. Reynolds deliberately stabbed himself in the heart with a letter opener as he apparently tried to escape arrest early Saturday, according to information from law enforcement agencies and the coroner.
Reynolds, 25, was convicted of a sex crime in Ohio in 2011 and was the subject of a recent Akron Police Department warrant alleging unlawful sexual conduct with a minor.
At about 12:30 a.m. Saturday, Olathe Police Department officers were called out on a “Report Every Drunk Driver Immediately” complaint. They saw a car speeding and pulled it over at mile marker 81 on U.S. 50, Olathe Police Chief Justin Harlan said.

How sad. How desperately sad. As much as suicide disgusts me; as much as I block myself from feeling sorry for someone who commits murder; things like this really upsets me.

Also I wanted to post this since this morning when I was playing Frisbee with my precious dog. I was listing to this song while throwing fetch with my dog and once again it amazed me with it's genius:

Instant Karma! (We All Shine On):

John Lennon

Lyrics

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEjUQ15lyzk

Instant Karma's gonna get you

Gonna knock you right on the head
You better get yourself together
Pretty soon you're gonna be dead
What in the world you thinking of
Laughing in the face of love
What on earth you tryin' to do
It's up to you, yeah you

Instant Karma's gonna get you

Gonna look you right in the face
Better get yourself together darlin'
Join the human race
How in the world you gonna see
Laughin' at fools like me
Who in the hell d'you think you are
A super star

Well, right you are

Well we all shine on

Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Ev'ryone come on

Instant Karma's gonna get you

Gonna knock you off your feet
Better recognize your brothers
Ev'ryone you meet
Why in the world are we here
Surely not to live in pain and fear
Why on earth are you there
When you're ev'rywhere
Come and get your share

Well we all shine on

Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
Come on and on and on on on
Yeah yeah, alright, uh huh, ah

Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun

I believe in Karma and all of it's references; in all religions. We can not do wrong to others with out having to answer to it ourselves.

"Into The Mouth Of The Abandonement"

Tears don't fall
Who gives a fuck?
Sometimes you wanna give your life away
But once you give it, you can never get it back intact

And no one knows

'Cause no one cares
And no one shows
'Cause no one dares
No one dares
No one dares
No one dares

Black angel

Falling feathers
Stare long into the mouth of abandonment
The trip down is a long one
It seems the harder you try to hold something in your arms
The quicker it dies

And no one knows

'Cause no one cares
And no one shows
'Cause no one dares
No one dares
No one dares
No one dares

The last two drawings I completed both have hidden art in them I did not plan. This is my magic time of my art series. I could make the tanks shoot the meaning of life engineered like the first American intergalactic space ship. I will probably do what I always do though and be mechanical.

I am a icon artist expert and have been all my life for instance:

It started with my mom being blown away by my art at a very odd, young age.

In Saint Johns school where I was officially label a icon artist with my Spiderman art; the whole class was a witness to that.

I have never been able to draw a bad flag.

Then Tracker Designs the biggest skateboard company in the world in 1986; was blown away with what I did with the Tracker logo and comics of my workplace. They actually authorized a contract with me; purchasing the rights to that art. I still covet the best of that art in storage today. The best art I did for them was done long after they stopped buying it. That is when I started saving my best art in 1988. That contract back then made me think my art was worth something and despite my Nazi like critics; I still believe that to this day.

Then I was in the Dallas Morning news in 2008, 6 times for what I did with the wild west hero cowboy art; I created.

Since then I have done about 800 paintings and drawings that I consider the best I have ever done. This coincides with being blacklisted and cast out in ways that boggle my mind by isolation and segregation on the internet. Sad but true all the internet means; all the media, in this day and age. You try and make it as a artist with every form of media against you. Art is culture and the history of who we are in time.

When ever I draw something that has a epic icon attached to it's meaning like a Star Wars craft or dragons or a Kiss band members face paint or a skull and flames or a portrait of a famous rock star or a horned goat man or a American flag or a epic tank; I have something inside me click that makes it imposable for me to do a bad rendering of that object.

May 06 2016:

Art:

I think besides being a icon artist; the one thing that distinguishes me from other artist is when I do a series of art I go way overboard as far as quality and quantity goes.

Look close at the front under the gun and you will see small blotches.
And on the tank under the turret on the front side. I have caused myself
to wear a very small cut on the outside of my right pinky from
my hand against the paper as I sketch and swiping the eraser bits.
What you see on this sketch is blood leaking on the paper as I sketched
so frantically that I did not know I had a cut. I am feeling like that
dude from the movie Whiplash!

Boy this has been a great year so far for my art. I am sure glad I picked up my old pencil and left my 3 inch by 4 inch tablet. Don't get me wrong I got really good at it Radman_Art Blog Homepage 2016

I can draw swirly lines on my little tablet with my basic stylus, but when it comes to perfect circles and straight lines I need a pencil. If someday I get sponsored by someone like: Wacom Interactive Pen Displays & Tablet Styluses www.wacom.com/ I could do some magic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wacom_(company)

Wacom Co., Ltd. (Kabushiki-gaisha Wakomu?) is a Japanese company headquartered in Kazo, Saitama, Japan, that specializes in graphics tablets and related products.

I said to this dude in WOT to check out this blog and the only art I had was that first abstract design I did at the beginning of the year. Then I did my first tank art with my stylus and posted it to WOT forums, and they were cool but not what I wanted to create. After stuff like that I decided to get serious about my tank art. The rest is all about being a serious tank expert artist. As always what I do not do could always be done motivated by a job doing art.

I started a new series called Rad Tanks Man:

8.5 inches by 11 inches on paper done with pencil, not bad for first of series.

8.5 inches by 11 inches on paper done with pencil. I sprayed too much fixative.
This is the second time I have done this after 46 perfect drawings. I painted the
back with white acrylic paint and that solved transparent problem. The wrinkles
can not be seen in the frame. I opened a new can of fixative and over did it. The
new fixative I am using is very cheap in price but just as good as my old stuff.

One thing you can always say about me is I have spent most of my life being myself. I have always refused to fake. I have always insisted in being me. I moved to California in 1987 and found myself working for the biggest skateboard company in the world. I even had a art contract with that company. I skated all the hottest skateboard sites and met the greatest skateboarders in the world and skated along side them. One thing I did not do is talk in the skateboard slang at that time. I talked like myself. If you ask me I had allot to do with talking normally as a skateboarder. Be true to yourself.

Everybody's Rapping Like It's A Commercial

My email to Dame Darcy I sent less than 20 minutes ago. I first read about her in Juxtapoz Magazine in the early 2000's.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dame_Darcy

Dame Darcy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dame Darcy is an alternative cartoonist.[1] Her comic book, Meat Cake, has been published by Fantagraphics since 1993. Darcy has also released several graphic novels, Frightful Fairytales, Dame Darcy's Meat Cake Compilation, The Illustrated Jane Eyre (Penguin 2006),[2] Dollerium (Presspop, 2007),[2] Comic Book Tattoo (Image Comics 2008), Gasoline (Merrell Publishers, 2008) and Handbook For Hot Witches (Holt 2012).

I am flattered by your response.

I remember my last job at the local hamburger place no matter what when ever I joined the conversation with the customers; even if they were upset about their order everyone would suddenly start being nice. I had the lowest ranking job there too.

I have come to the realization that since I am kind of a famous artist here in McKinney, Texas; I should only have famous or semi famous friends. I never want to be accused of taking advantage of people; because it seems. since the day I was born I am incapable of taking advantage of people.

“The most ludicrous, dangerous, technically illiterate tech policy proposal of the 21st century so far.” – Kevin Bankston, director of New America’s Open Technology Institute.

Privacy advocates and security experts are widely denouncing new anti-encryption legislation as a radical assault on privacy that would make the American people less safe.

The Compliance with Court Orders Act of 2016 (CCOA) would undermine Americans’ privacy, make encryption illegal and force companies to weaken the security of their products and services. We need to make sure this dangerous legislation doesn’t gain any traction in Congress.

Sign the petition: Stop the Burr-Feinstein attack on privacy and security. Click here to sign the petition.

The CCOA, which was made public on April 13 by Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Richard Burr (R-NC) and Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), is bad policy for a number of reasons. It would:

•Make end-to-end encryption illegal by requiring companies to provide “information or data” to the government “in an intelligible format” anytime they are served with a court order. It would also require companies to decrypt secure communications “in a timely manner” or give technical assistance to law enforcement agencies attempting to do so. As Sen. Ron Wyden said in a statement, “for the first time in America, companies who want to provide their customers with stronger security would not have that choice – they would be required to decide how to weaken their products to make you less safe.”

•Undermine Americans’ privacy by increasing the risk that their private information and information entrusted to businesses is accessed by criminals, hackers and government entities, both domestically and abroad.

•Make American technology companies less competitive by making it illegal for them to offer secure communications protected by end-to-end encryption, which is currently relied upon by Google, Apple, Facebook, WhatsApp and countless other companies.6 Foreign companies would not be bound by this constraint. As the executive director of a trade group that represents thousands of app developers put it, “the senators might as well take a hatchet to the entire Internet economy."

•Force platforms to censor applications by requiring license distributors to ensure that all “products, services, applications or software” they distribute are able to provide the content of communications to law enforcement agencies “in an intelligible format.” This would put Apple, Google and any other company that operates a platform for software applications in the untenable position of vetting every app to make sure they aren’t secure, and censoring those that are secure.

Tell Congress: Reject legislation that would undermine our privacy and security. Click here to sign the petition.

As we saw with the FBI’s recent attempt to force Apple to create a backdoor to access San Bernardino shooter Syed Farook’s iPhone, law enforcement agencies are determined to undermine Americans’ privacy and security, and gain access to encrypted communications. The Obama administration’s sudden reversal in that case in March – which came only after it said a third party had helped it access the content of the phone without Apple’s help – doesn’t change its desire to force companies to weaken the security of their own products. Indeed, in an April 8 letter to a district court judge presiding over a separate case, the Department of Justice maintained that “the government continues to require Apple’s assistance in accessing the data that it is authorized to search by warrant.”

As this debate continues to play out over the coming weeks and months, we need to forcefully reject the dangerous language in the Burr-Feinstein bill and any other legislation that would put Americans’ privacy and security at risk by undermining encryption.

New Art by the rad one:

8.5 inches by 11 inches on paper done with pencil

I may not be Radman and able to fly around on a skateboard but I am and always have been a radical dude. I do not have mental disorders or have the hero syndrome in other words.

Radman is a comic character I invented in 1988 that was published in Thrasher Magazine.

The hero syndrome

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero_syndrome

The hero syndrome is a phenomenon affecting people who seek heroism or recognition, usually by creating a desperate situation which they can resolve. This can include unlawful acts, such as arson. The phenomenon has been noted to affect civil servants, such as firefighters, nurses, police officers, and security guards. Acts linked with the hero syndrome should not be confused with acts of malicious intent, such as revenge on the part of a suspended firefighter or an insatiable level of excitement, as was found in a federal study of more than 75 firefighter arsonists. However, acts of the hero syndrome have been linked to previously failed heroism. The hero syndrome may also be a more general yearning for self-worth. People with hero syndrome will usually cause an accident and pretend to help.

Art:

I had to use dark light so you could see them. It still is reflected too much on a couple. I told
you I soak them in high gloss fixative and that makes them hard to photograph.
I put my skateboard in back for a size reference.

8.5 inches by 11 inches on paper done with pencil

I mixed up the roman numerals so I am fixing it by filling in the missing numbers. I also have allot of the dates wrong. But if you do not pay attention to the file names; than if you see the art listed here by date the first art was done first. If none of that makes any difference to you than you than just enjoy looking at all the pictures and enjoy.

I still hold to what I was taught in college by Dr. Marline Todd Daniels https://woodsonginstitute.com/about-woodsong-art/:

Too just say a artist is talented is make believe non sense. I like to think a great artist has the ability to go places in art other regular artist can not. I believe it takes a very strong mind to accomplish this. Once you do a certain kind of art you simply become a master at that type of art. I am a master of dragons, skulls and flames, western art, death and black metal music art, fantasy art, colorful art, mechanical art, to name a few. Now I am a master of tank art; and all the varying styles and types of tracks and weaponry protruding from them. I got the nice big drawing callus over calluses to prove it. Saying things like this; may make other artist angry, I just hope that anger turns into highly detailed great works of art. I do not believe just blobs of paint is art. Artwork takes work; that's why it is called artwork. I draw to prove I am a true artist, if you can not draw please to not paint of create sculptures. If you can not draw, all hope is not lost; just do what Dr. Marline Todd Daniels would tell you to do; practice until you can draw. She used to always say if you want to master a certain type of art just do it one hundred times as best as you can.

You know one of my favorite bands no one ever heard of? That is a rhetorical question.

Mobius Band (band)

Mobius Band was an electronic rock trio from Brooklyn, New York consisting of Noam Schatz (drums), Peter Sax (bass/vocals/keyboards), and Ben Sterling (guitar/vocals/keyboards).

The band began when members Schatz, Sterling and Sax met as students at Wesleyan University. After graduation, they moved to Shutesbury, Massachusetts to hone their sound. Following the self-produced, self-released (on their own Prescription Rails label) and mostly instrumental EPs One, Two, and Three, Mobius Band were signed to Ann Arbor, Michigan’s Ghostly International in 2004, becoming the electronic label’s first rock-based act.

Wesleyan University is in my home town of Middletown, Connecticut; that I am missing more than ever lately:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wesleyan_University

I love every cd by this band an bought them all in my college days; some rare ones on Amazon even.

My favorite song and cd I bought is called: Mobius Band - The Loving Sounds of Static

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Loving_Sounds_of_Static

This is the video I saw on MTV2 Subteranium on Sundays at 12am:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OR_J3JQb00Q

Lyrics of that song:

this world's not right

its a losing fight
and this music's not what you want
its a business now
there's in's and out's
and the life you had
you'll lose somehow

you know you had, once a jest

anything that hasn't passed the test by 1996
yeah that's not part of it

you keep it to yourself

and no one knows the deal
but you're not alone
that's just a show
and gold in a cross
some spoken thoughts
they rust a lot
the life we had
that's over now
yeah that's not part of it

you know you had, once a jest

anything that hasn't passed the test by 1996

1996 is when my life ended it when I died. I hope I shall live again. Maybe someone will do the right thing someday; for someone who deserves it.

More art coming soon.

March 30 2016:

March is over. Spring is at hand. I am as wild as the first born spring, wild baby, wild life. I am also a friend to law enforcement. My dad was part my hero. His great police friends were my friends. To be a police officer to me is as wild as a 1200cc Ninja. I hate crime. I have full heartedly hated crime since I had my life threatened for being a police officer's son; in my sophomore year of high school. Also had my life threatened, 2 very real other times; once with a giant loaded revolver pointed right at my chest at the age of about 20 years old; again for nothing more than having a father who was a police officer on the mean streets of the east coast in the 1970's and early 1980's.

With that said I want to formally announce my endorsement for the next great sheriff of Collin County, Texas; to be Jim Skinner.

http://skinnerforsheriff.com/ :

Moved full article to my political blog.

Now that I said all that, how about some way radical art work?:

8.5 inches by 11 inches on paper done with pencil

I spilled something on this when it was a pre sketch and spent about 1 hour trying to dry it clean.
Then I spent about 1 more hour trying to paint it away with white acrylic paint, then drying it some more.
Then I simple ripped it up and threw it out.
Then over another hour redrawing another pre sketch.
I have not done this since college with my first gouache paintings with purple accent.
I always do a very accurate pre sketch first, then very dark pencil.
I break pencil lead over and over to accomplish this.

March 26 2016:

I have more art completed. I completed some while I posted my last post and then a few more since then. We have not had any emergencies around here long enough for me to focus on my art; free and easy. I need a clear mind to focus on art. I said it in almost every art class I took in college and stand by it to this day; art drains me mentally and physically. When I am doing all I can to survive a disaster; I have nothing built up enough to create something from nothing. Lets face it, that is what art is; making something beautiful from nothing a blank piece of canvas or paper or animation. That's the way I see my best art coming out of me.

I need to make a correction to my last post I took down my sk8 and guitar videos mostly because I am shy of pictures and videos of me; and the older I get the more shy I get. I also took them down because no one viewed them but that is less the reason.

Here is some more art I just completed:

8.5 inches by 11 inches on paper done with pencil

8.5 inches by 11 inches on paper done with pencil The fixative had a reaction on this one.
I left it because it almost looks like a ghostly landscape.

March 22 2016:

I am going to repost my guitar solo I made in June 6, 2012. It was very difficult to wire this to the computer; that I planned on tweaking in a audio program like gold wave. I never tweaked and may never because it was ignored. I had to have the fan on me because it is hot as a June bug on the fourth of July here in June. I even have my nerd prescription glasses on. I took it down like all my sk8 videos and all my videos of me I have mostly ever made since 2009 about; of me. Why did I take all those awesome videos down; you ask? I took them down because no one viewed them; like all my sk8 videos I made on February 18 2016 that all the readers of this blog ignored; this year.

Just search this page for: February 18 2016 then see what you missed.

So here I go again wasting my time again:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMieiBx7Pwg&feature=youtu.be

Best YouTube video you ever missed! I think I have posted and taken down at least 12 live videos of me and my dogs and my wife since 2009 that you have all ignored. You ignore them and I take them down; that is how it has always been.

This is my favorite guitar video of me playing guitar.
I could find this one too, I guess. I want to make a new one
because I think I know of a way to get the amps, in other words
the volume louder. I posted this in 2011 and took it down
right away after no views.

You can buy this guitar for more than what I paid for it back in 2011, (I paid 80.00) from Target online. Here is a link:

http://www.target.com/p/spectrum-custom-pro-st-style-electric-guitar-black-white-ail-90bp/-/A-14239071?lnk=rec|pdp|related_prods_vv|pdpv1

In my opinion it is a good enough; Fender like guitar, made in good old China. Now all I need is a huge 5,000 dollar amp.

March 21 2016:

I remember posting about two years ago; if I was going to do any frame able art it would be just where I left off. That is exactly correct; I have done exactly that. I left off doing car engines and tight pencil art and that is right back where I am now. Like I always say as hard as I try the internet can never do real art justice. To see theses baby's for real on the wall is a sight to see. I display the 2 newest ones and rotate them to storage.

8.5 inches by 11 inches on paper done with pencil

I have seen and heard many things in my life; but this is really something new on me. I found this by mistake. Some indie rock band sent me a link to their new album ghost something. I noticed on the side menu of YouTube it claimed to have a recording of Robin Williams after he died. Back in the day I would have gone into a long explanation about all the spiritual implications about this. All I can say is maybe it is possible to hear people in hell. Is there anything in the bible that refutes that? Not that I know of. I do know this says this:

Luke 16:19-31King James Version (KJV)

19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

Just check this out; it is so enticingly strange:

EVP Paranormal SCIENCE:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDg0nX6G78t6IaQ_V_wnP9g/videos

How would it sound if people were trying to communicate to humans; from hell? I think it would sound like the recordings of EVP Paranormal SCIENCE. They sound like tormented suffering people.

Electronic voice phenomenon

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_voice_phenomenon

Within ghost hunting and parapsychology, electronic voice phenomena (EVP) are sounds found on electronic recordings that are interpreted as spirit voices that have been either unintentionally recorded or intentionally requested and recorded. Parapsychologist Konstantins Raudive, who popularized the idea in the 1970s, described EVP as typically brief, usually the length of a word or short phrase.

Enthusiasts consider EVP to be a form of paranormal phenomena often found in recordings with static or other background noise. However, psychologists regard EVP as a form of auditory pareidolia (interpreting random sounds as voices in one's own language) and a pseudoscience promulgated by popular culture. Rational explanations for EVP include apophenia (perceiving patterns in random information), equipment artifacts, and hoaxes.

Who else would tell you stuff like this. What do you expect I am the radical artist. Once again I have proven my worth and worthiness about and beyond the call of duty as always.

I invented a new snack today, earlier then served it to my wife just now. Take two thin sliced Boars Head Genoa salami; we get ours from Kroger. Then slice some extra sharp cheese thinly enough to cover the salami slice. Then smoosh the 2 salami pieces and the cheese together on a cutting board; like a sandwich. Press it together firmly to create a oneness of the cheese and salami. I used the bottom of the plate to press it. Then slice it like a pizza. Trust me it is awesome.

Well I have drawn the American Tank 3 times the heavy, the medium and the lite version. As Tank designs go it is not my favorite. Those smooth contoured lines seem out of place on a tank. The German tank was definitely my favorite to draw this time ;maybe because it was a tank destroyer. American tank destroyers are very cool and have not had a chance to draw them, I am looking forward to it in the future though.

This entire series will be 8.5 inches by 11 inches on paper done with pencil only. I took me days but I completed this next series of hand drawn tanks. There is allot in the series; all completed and ready for framing by any potential buyers out there. I will be putting them directly into storage here after I display them in plastic bags on my desk until the next bunch is completed. They are only paper so they store easy and the fixative on them will make them like new forever. I am putting the pedal to the metal and creating more like it as often as I can. I named the series USA WW2 Tank; because I am a true blue American and I created the art from a blank piece of paper to something anyone that likes my art would love to frame and hang on their wall. Also I created this series because I think back on world war 2 as a time America saved the world and was the hero of the world. I am not saying the Russians did not have a hand in it; remember the Nazi's feared being sent to the Russian front more than anything. I am not limiting my tanks to old models. I will use my 7 years in college for graphic design and my 4.0 grade average of 7 years; to choice tanks that look cool; just like I have done for all my art. If I could describe my 3 college certificates for graphics design in as few words as possible I would say; it taught me to tell what looks the coolest.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day.

I watched this recently and as always it blew me away.

The European Invasion – Doom Troopin' Live is the second concert DVD of Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society. It was released in 2006, just before their Shot to Hell album.

The DVD contains footage from two different concerts, in Paris and London, and also includes videos from the songs "Suicide Messiah", "In This River", and "Fire It Up", as well as a "making of" feature for the "Suicide Messiah" video. Also included is a 50-minute featurette called "Backstage Pass".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWVaxXeGEC8&list=PL49086F9FBB81DB09

I have been a hardcore Black Label Society fan since 1999 but did not see this movie until about 2009. I have watched two rock movies in my life both around 2009 that made me so joyful I actually cried gushing tears; The European Invasion – Doom Troopin' Live and the other one was Free Bird:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykJGx8Q2WHY&list=PLllgAMWcRYv6PGH19DJ8DIlu5M0xsBfIM.

The thing about Free Bird is you watch this long movie and never hear the song Free Bird. The movie shows the band working real hard on stage in Europe. I kept thinking please don't show them playing Free Bird in Europe and sure enough they show it last in the good old USA!

I have been a hardcore Black Label Society fan since 1999 but never got to see this dude in action until The European Invasion – Doom Troopin' Live. I bow to this video. I saw Zak come to life and embody his music actually becoming his music right before my eyes. The end is cool when he invites this random dude from the audience to play his guitar and this dude rocked it out.

Well I have 3 sketches done and will be posting them tomorrow. Just have not had time to post them. Been to busy drawing my heart out. I still love stylus drawing as it shows on my Radman_Art Blog Homepage 2015 page. When it comes to drawing intense technical stuff I need a pencil.

March 13 2016:

I got married to my wife the United States Veteran in 1988:

My Wife a US Army Vet from 1992 - 2010.

I also rented and watched this great video with my angel wife:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Time_(Tom_Waits_album)

Big Time is the first conventional live album by American musician Tom Waits, featuring performances from two shows on Waits' 1987 tour, regarded by many as "his best tour ever." The album was released less than a year later on Island Records. While Big Time was the first released recording of public concert performances by Waits, it was not strictly his first live release: his 1975 Nighthawks at the Diner was a live performance before an audience that was conducted entirely within a recording studio.

And it blew my mind completely!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmsiC2S25ho&list=PLN4iuKdspbOyMxzMBxCTKZRwacgxoGau3

I know we all think of Tom for his amazing performance in movies like:

Rumble Fish! : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086216/?ref_=nv_sr_1

and the black metal music fan's greatest movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103874/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_14

But he is a amazing musical aficionado. my favorite album of his is:

Swordfishtrombones is an album by American singer-songwriter Tom Waits, released in September 1983. It was the first album that Waits produced himself.

Stylistically different from his previous LPs, the album moves away from the piano and string orchestra arrangements of the late 1970s, replacing them instead with unusual instrumentation and a somewhat more abstract songwriting approach.

I took me about 5 or 6 days but I completed a series of hand drawn tanks. I developed this style during 2015; I do not even care about what I am creating as far as expounding on it. until I have completed a series of that particular art. Now that I have established a series of art work, I am looking forward to putting the pedal to the metal and creating more like it. I named the series USA WW2 Tank; because I am a true blue American and I created the art from a blank piece of paper to something anyone that likes my art would love to frame and hang on their wall. Also I created this series because I think back on world war 2 as a time America saved the world and was the hero of the world. I am not saying the Russians did not have a hand in it; remember the Nazi's feared being sent to the Russian front more than anything.

I used enough Grumbacher Final Fixative, Gloss Spray to actual change the weight and appearance of the art. I soak it with it and it really brings out the darkness as well as a nice reflective look.

Ok here you go my first hard core hand drawn art in two years. I told you when you go from drawing on watercolor paper with a giant sponge trying to make fine lines with a stylus; to a very accurate pencil; it is like a solder right out of Green Beret Special Forces Training 5x5. I can recognize what country any tank from World War II is just by looking at it; from playing WOT so much. I have been able to do that with cars and motorcycles since I was 15 years old at least.

11 inches x 8.5 inches pencil on paper.
This tank is 100% American. Semper Fi, do or die!

March 08 2016:

Well I have been drawing on watercolor paper with a giant sponge trying to make fine lines for almost 2 years now. That is how describe drawing with a plain stylus on a tiny tablet.

Now I am drawing by hand with a pencil and if what I have so far is a sign of what's to come, I know it is going to be great.

Cat Stevens "I Love My Dog" - YouTube

Thought this song would fit with my latest photos here.

CAT STEVENS LYRICS "I Love My Dog"

I love my dog as much as I love you
But you may fade, my dog will always come through.

All he asks from me is the food to give him strength

All he ever needs is love and that he knows he'll get

So, I love my dog as much as I love you

But you may fade, my dog will always come through.

All the pay I need comes shining through his eyes

I don't need no cold water to make me realize that

I love my dog as much as I love you

But you may fade, my dog will always come through.

Na, na, na, na, na, na, nana...

I love my dog as much as I love you

But you may fade, my dog will always come through.

Na, na, na, na, na, na, nana...

I love my dog, Baby, I love my dog. Na, na, na...

March 07 2016:

This took 3 days to complete. I am going to try the next one in pencil see if I can complete it faster. 3 days about 2-3 hours at a time is way too much time and work; for fun and no pay. I am thinking I could be more mechanical with a pencil. If I had a studio with bigger, money no object, tech gadgetry; I am certain I could do way better creating more detailed tanks with a stylus. Lets see, I will post that progress soon using a pencil instead.

It still looks cool in it's own way. You can almost hear the growl of the engine.

You can see this via my WOT account here as well:

http://forum.worldoftanks.com/index.php?/topic/487662-tank-art-from-the-artist-of-radman-art/

I know what your thinking: that dude is so rad! I am radical; true blue; since the day I was born on Malmstrom Air Force Base the United States Air Force. American sculls and flames that can not be duplicated by any other country; in the heart of American art. That is where you will find me; looking right back at you with red white and blue blood.

March 04 2016:

Just took these photos about one hour ago:

A great catch.

All tired out, getting a kiss.

March 03 2016:

I always try to keep this blog politics free. I figured my last post was something everyone would agree on. If I post politics or religion, I always take it down after a few days. I am working on some great new art and hope to post it soon.

Published on Feb 18, 2016

I went sk8boarding this morning (February 18, 2016) while waiting for my car to have it's oil changed at my favorite good folks place: El Dorado Mazda. I started sk8ing at 7am and finished at 8:30 am. This is the first time I have been on a skateboard since my last video found half way down the page here: http://radmanart2ndhome.blogspot.com/... taken in 2012. I thought it had been to long since I skated and videoed myself for the blog and YouTube. If I had a week to do what I did this morning I could have really showed off some cool moves. After skateboarding and oil change I went and voted at the main McKinney, Texas location near the Goodwill Store. The people there are so friendly and it always makes it so fun to go vote. They have a giant room now to vote in verses the old room that was one twentieth the size of the new one.

Here are the links to all the videos on the one and only free and open internet YouTube:

I also took some photos of this tank this morning. This one is my favorite. Notice McKinney Texas on the bottom right of the tank. I had the camera and was driving by so I went for it:

February 16 2016:

Here is the latest art I have created:

February 14 2016:

Happy Valentines Day. Send these to your wife's. Oh by the way; I love my one and only wife for 30 years, and forever.

I made this myself

I wanted to bring this to the attention of the World of Tanks; fan's of my art. This painting is 3 feet by four feet and took over 1 month to complete. I did it around 2008. I want to scan just the tanks in high definition someday maybe. If I ever do I will post them to the World of Tanks forums. :

February 12 2016:

Be real, speak from the heart; do not lie to yourself; do not be fake. I made this graphic just now:

February 11 2016:

I also want to ad to my last post that I have been doing art pretty much non stop since 1988 when I had a contract with the biggest skateboard company in the world at the time. I have to say to my shame; I have gone about a couple years time total without doing art and consider those years to be the worst of my life. I will not lie doing art for money is what made me motivated. I sold about 2000.00 worth of art to Tracker in 1988. Not selling art has everything to do with my lack of interest creating new art. Just viewing images from around the world really got me going, but it was not until around 1998 when I started posting art on the internet that I really go going again. My wife really got my art work going around 1998; when, with her help I started posting art to the internet.

Well since I am waiting for my windows update this fine morning I guess I will write a update for this blog.

FYI: I have some new artwork coming soon.

Right now my wife and I are enjoying a great Smoky and the Bandit movie, thanks to Dish

http://www.dish.com/. I still love those great movies.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smokey_and_the_Bandit

Smokey and the Bandit

It was the 2nd highest grossing movie of 1977.

The theme music, "East Bound and Down", was sung and co-written by Reed (credited under his birth name, Jerry Hubbard).

Smokey and the Bandit is a 1977 American action comedy film starring Burt Reynolds, Sally Field, Jackie Gleason, Jerry Reed, Pat McCormick, Paul Williams and Mike Henry. The film was the directorial debut for stuntman Hal Needham. It inspired several other trucking films, including two sequels, Smokey and the Bandit II, and Smokey and the Bandit Part 3.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/cb/Smokey_And_The_Bandit_Poster.jpg

After the debut of the movie the Trans Am became wildly popular with sales almost doubling in two years of the film's release, to the delight of General Motors.

One of my favorite neighbors reminds me of Jerry Reed. He is even a truck driver to boot. Got to talk to him the other day during my plumbing crisis. His dad is a classic Texan as well and always wears a cowboy hat. My wife had a good question about the theme song. She asked me what Texarkana means.

Texarkana, Texas

Texarkana is a city in Bowie County, Texas, United States, located in the Ark-La-Tex region. Together with neighboring Texarkana, Arkansas, it forms the combined city of Texarkana. The population of the Texas city was 36,411 at the 2010 census.[3] The city and its Arkansas counterpart form the core of the Texarkana Metropolitan Statistical Area, encompassing all of Bowie County, Texas, and Miller County, Arkansas. The two cities had a combined population of 66,330 at the 2010 census, and the metropolitan area had a total population of 136,027.

Charlie Daniels and his band do the famous Orange Blossom Special, also used in the famous Smokey and the Bandit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAVm6bwTFmg

I have always thought the album Saddle Tramp always look like the Bandit:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddle_Tramp_(album)

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9a/Saddle_Tramp_album.jpeg

This is like all the early Charlie Daniels Albums and have inspired me to move to Texas and do all those thousands of great western art master pieces I have done through the years. Many handed out for free to local people here.

I sure wish Charlie would redo the albums he made before Saddle Tramp; they always sounded unfinished to me.

Charlie Daniels, Te John, Grease, & Wolfman, Honey in the Rock and Way Down Yonder; need remaking with modern music magic.

February 08 2016:

I have to post a retraction from my last post:

If it was not for this blog; I would not be doing art at all, for at least the past 3 years. So when I said "My new art takes a little longer but I sure hope it is worth it. Is it all worth it at all? Who cares I would be doing it no matter what any way"; that is not true completely.

I have watched this movie about 5 times thanks to Dish.com:

The Monuments Men (2014) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2177771/

PG-13 1h 58min Drama, War 7 February 2014 (USA)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Monuments_Men

The Monuments Men is a 2014 American-German war film directed by George Clooney, written and produced by Clooney and Grant Heslov. The film stars Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray, John Goodman, Jean Dujardin, Bob Balaban, Hugh Bonneville, and Cate Blanchett. It is loosely based on the non-fiction book The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History by Robert M. Edsel and Bret Witter. The film follows an Allied group from the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives program that is given the task of finding and saving pieces of art and other culturally important items before their destruction or theft by the Nazis during World War II.

The Monuments Men was co-produced by Columbia Pictures (in association with 20th Century Fox) and Babelsberg Studio, and released on February 7, 2014. It received mixed critical reviews and grossed $155 million worldwide.

This movie give me hope.

I also ad that I have said in the past that Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison was my favorite (local) republican senator; (I am a democrat). :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kay_Bailey_Hutchison:

Kay Bailey Hutchison (born Kathryn Ann Bailey; July 22, 1943) is a former United States Senator from Texas. She is a member of the Republican Party. In 2001, she was named one of the thirty most powerful women in America by Ladies Home Journal. The first woman to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate, Hutchison also became the first Texas U.S. senator to receive more than four million votes in a single election.

Hutchison was the most senior female Republican senator by the end of her tenure, and the fifth most senior female senator, having assumed office in June 1993 behind Senators Barbara Mikulski (D-MD, 1987), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA, 1992), Barbara Boxer (D-CA, January 1993), and Patty Murray (D-WA, January 1993).

I now have a new favorite (local politician) ; this dude and his staff really listens to me:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Johnson

Samuel Robert "Sam" Johnson (born October 11, 1930) is the U.S. Representative for Texas's 3rd congressional district serving in Congress since 1991. He is a member of the Republican Party. The district includes much of Collin County, including Plano, where he lives. In October–November 2015, he was the acting Chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means, where he also serves as chairman of the Social Security Subcommittee.

Johnson is also a retired United States Air Force Colonel and was a decorated fighter pilot in both the Korean War and the Vietnam War where in the latter he was a prisoner of war for nearly seven years.

You can never keep Texas down. We are the heart of our country for a reason.

February 06 2016:

Ok well here you go my latest work of art. I seem to have a unnatural ability to reverse the poles; in other words drawing white on black. I saved all my black card board from all my picture frames to someday paint on them but never got to try it since I had to stop painting because of running out of space to store them. It took my stylus to realize my potential after much practice. :

February 04 2016:

Yes sir. Almost 11,000 hits since 2012. Not bad for Radman_Art. Not bad at all.

I know I said it 1,000 times, but I think I am on to something with my new art. I have felt just like Jackson Pollock at least 100 times in my artwork life; and I do again. He must have been so filled with adrenaline when he first dripped that paint. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_Pollock I seem to reverse the poles naturally with this new style of artwork I like lately. Do not know what I am talking about; as always? You will just have to stay tuned. My new art takes a little longer but I sure hope it is worth it. Is it all worth it at all? Who cares I would be doing it no matter what any way.
I am loving this music so much. I never thought I would still love this album after so many years; but I do, I just do. I bought the album; "I am listening to right now" in 1979 and skateboarded for many days with it in my Walkman on cassette (just having fun). I have been having so much fun all my life; it is true. Fun just finds me and sticks to me like glue. Shredding up those mean east coast streets in 1979 and sticking out like a sore thumb and not even caring at all. I still don't care really. All I can say is to know me; is to love me. A blessing and a curse.

1977 Live: You Get What You Play For by rock band REO Speedwagon:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live:_You_Get_What_You_Play_For

Live: You Get What You Play For is a live album by rock band REO Speedwagon, released as a double-LP in 1977 (and years later as a single CD). It was recorded at Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kansas, the Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, Indiana, Kiel Auditorium in Saint Louis, Missouri and Alex Cooley's Electric Ballroom in Atlanta, Georgia. It peaked at number #72 on the Billboard 200 chart in 1977. The song "Ridin' the Storm Out" reached #94 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. The album went platinum on December 14, 1978.

February 01 2016:

I have been saying some critical things lately on my blog. I thought I would like to say something nice, for a change. I was searching my mind on what to share here, that would be the most, nicest kindest, caring, thing I could say to people. At the time I was doing this soul searching I was doing my daily exercise routine. I come from a very critical family. I started body building in my cold dark basement of our home on Glen Avenue in Middletown, Connecticut. It was my first home and we lived there until I was 13 years old. I loved that house and always have fond memory's of it, to this day. If I were to describe it I would compare it to the movie the Royal Tenenbaums http://www.royaltenenbaums.com/ house. About the time I started to get really good at body building around the age of 15; I remember my family being really critical of me at one of our family get together uncles and cousins type thing calling me a fairy; saying how; most men that are bodybuilders are feminine. I always thought that was strange and still do to this day. What I am trying to say is all those years of working out have created my self discipline that thinks nothing of exercising to this day. For some reason people have a eversion to exercising. In fact; to the extreme, it seems the sad, sad fact that people actually will lay down and die slowly rather than exercise. Another thing I never understood nor still do not understand why people do not see the need to exercise. I am not saying I have not taken a few years off at a time from exercising; because I have. All of this leads up to me saying the nicest thing I can say to anyone that reads my blog that I have discovered lately; with my entire being:

Exercise actually heals us.

I did a little research on the subject and here is what I found:

from: http://themindunleashed.org/2014/09/new-studies-show-exercize-key-staving-depression.html

Sep 25, 2014

While scientists, psychologists and health care professionals have long known about the connection between exercise and well-being, a new study published in the September 25th edition of Cell has uncovered the mechanisms that may underlie this link. This study showed that having strong, toned muscles can make people more resistant to stress and help filter a depression-causing toxin away from the brain.

http://www.healingwell.com/library/health/krucoff1.asp

When most people think of medicine, they visualize something material like a pill to be popped, a liquid to be swallowed or an injection to be endured. Some might also consider surgery, tests or procedures to be medicine since these high-tech maneuvers can help diagnose and treat disease. But one of the most potent forms of medicine isn't something you can buy at a pharmacy or get at the doctor's office. No one else can give you this medicine or perform its magic for you. It's movement, simple physical activity that can have profound healing effects. And it's something only you can do for yourself.

http://www.compleatmother.com/womens-health/natural-health/exercise.shtml

Nearly all practitioners agree that regular exercise is good for your physical and mental health. Most people feel like everyone tells them to exercise, and they have a hard time believing it can really help as much as it's touted. In fact, some people think that "get more exercise" is simply a fall back answer for anything the doctor or other people don't have more information about. And that's simply not the case.

Exercise is a critical component to the whole body healing approach of alternative and natural healing. And that's because it works. It helps your body

I also want to say I was listening to a great album I owned as a teenager and would play extremely load. Most young people I knew as a kid had a copy of this album. This album I absolutely the best from beginning; to the glories end, that everyone remembers, that last song. I was listening to this album while I was playing World Of Tanks and it was empowering me. I loved it so much that I played the last song from it to my wife when she got home from work. Like most people she had no idea what the song before it was. My point is the entire album is really perfect not just the last song. :

Listen to this and be amazed:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They_Only_Come_Out_at_Night

Edgar Holland Winter (born December 28, 1946) is an American rock and blues musician. He is known for being a multi-instrumentalist — keyboardist, guitarist, saxophonist and percussionist — as well as a singer. His success peaked in the 1970s with his band, The Edgar Winter Group, and their popular songs "Frankenstein"[1] and "Free Ride".

Associated acts

Johnny Winter, Rick Derringer, The Edgar Winter Group, Sawbuck, Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band, David Lee Roth, Todd Rundgren, Ronnie Montrose

I have always known one of the reasons Edgar was so great was because Rick Derringer, was working with him. I bought this album when I was a kid too:

All American Boy is the debut solo studio album by Rick Derringer, it was released on Blue Sky Records in late 1973. "Joy Ride" and "Time Warp" (not to be confused with The Rocky Horror Picture Show song) are instrumentals.

check it out:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aH4ZhDaWmpo&list=PLztz8DUR6lLze9eRRFFHR7qM3N_vtglR_

Another dude named Rick was Rick Wakeman. Yes we all loved Yes but I remember loving the solo albums of Rick Wakeman when I was in high school.

Rick Wakeman is an English keyboardist, composer and songwriter, most known as the keyboard player for progressive rock group Yes. His solo albums have sold over 50 million copies.

My favorite album I owned as a kid that I discovered while partying over one of my many rich friends from Killingworth Connecticut's fancy house; while attending Haddam Killingworth High School of which I lettered my freshman year on the Tennis Team: http://www.rsd17.org/schools1.shtml That school's internet address

This album would amaze me as a kid:

give it a listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIP9Q6-azoo&index=3&list=PLClGu8GXfDWtU-6cv7hY7E5P7iWWzaqty

Journey to the Centre of the Earth is the second album from the English keyboardist and composer Rick Wakeman, released in 1974 through A&M Records. The album is a live recording of his second of two concerts on 18 January 1974 at the Royal Festival Hall in London. Its concept is based on Jules Verne's eponymous science fiction novel, which tells the story of Professor Lidenbrok, his nephew Axel, and their guide Hans, who follow a passage to the Earth's centre originally discovered by Arne Saknussemm, an Icelandic alchemist. Wakeman performs with the London Symphony Orchestra, the English Chamber Choir, and a group of hand-picked musicians for his band which later became The English Rock Ensemble. Actor David Hemmings provides the narration to the story.

January 30 2016:

So here ya go. I erased the inside this morning and turned 1 into 3:

January 29 2016:

I do not post new artwork on my blog, when I am going through some catastrophe; and I have to tell you, my wife and I have had one after another lately. I feel like I am getting bombed by a B1 Bomber plane.

Our latest problem has been a plumbing problem that was about 3 days ago; so I finished my art today. I will post it tomorrow.

I am not one to plug SNL because I can not find any good SNL skits on YouTube ever. And because I find allot of their newer stuff to be down right mean and offence to large populations of people. The old days would just parody certain celebrity's and politicians; now it seems like populations the size of small country's are made fun of. At any rate; thanks to Dish.com and Comedy Central; I can watch SNL reruns.

This morning thanks to my wife having the controller, I actually saw Wilco, one of my favorite college days, bands; in concert on SNL. It was very impressive. They are so cool.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilco

Wilco is an American alternative rock band based in Chicago, Illinois. The band was formed in 1994 by the remaining members of alternative country group Uncle Tupelo following singer Jay Farrar's departure. Wilco's lineup changed frequently during its first decade, with only singer Jeff Tweedy and bassist John Stirratt remaining from the original incarnation. Since early 2004, the lineup has been unchanged, consisting of Tweedy, Stirratt, guitarist Nels Cline, multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansone, keyboard player Mikael Jorgensen, and drummer Glenn Kotche. Wilco has released nine studio albums, a live double album, and four collaborations: three with Billy Bragg and one with The Minus 5.

See what I mean? I had to find this somewhere besides YouTube in a Google search.

https://vimeo.com/128956477 do not like this song; to tell the truth. Thanks SNL for nothing!

I never thought I would say this because I grew up on SNL from the 1970's; but I hate you SNL!

Here is a YouTube link from my favorite Wilco album from my College days!:

Wilco - War On War (Letterman): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5j2ykHinIPg

Oh yeah and please tell the employees at the local supermarket in north McKinney on east side of75 to stop bullying me (Kenneth!)

I just want to buy my grocery's and go. So please; leave me alone.

January 21 2016:

Another album I loved with my 2001 Kawasaki 1200 cc Ninja:

This is the greatest album you never heard of:

Ahead of the Lions is an album by rock band Living Things, released on October 4, 2005. The first single is the song "Bom Bom Bom" was featured in a Cingular commercial promoting an iTunes-compatible phone.

Living Things is a band of brothers (Lillian, Eve and Bosh Berlin). Born and raised in the socially conservative suburbs of St. Louis, Missouri, they have been playing together since they were kids performing early versions of the tracks that would eventually be recorded for the Ahead of the Lions album. The album was recorded by the Steve Albini (Nirvana, PJ Harvey, Pixies) and produced by Living Things in the Berlin Family Basement in their hometown of St. Louis in February 2005. Living Things are distinguished, in part, by their lyrics, written by Lillian, the band's chief provocateur.

I believe members of this band actually are veterans.

Lillian Berlin has attracted controversy due to his political beliefs and writing's. In 2003, he was stabbed in the leg at a concert in Kansas City while crowd surfing, because of anti-George Bush remarks. In July 2004, he was shot at by three men behind a Dallas rock club, and later that year he was arrested for protesting at the 2004 Republican National Convention.

I will post some lyrics from this serious total rock out rock and roll album.

I can't drink or drive a tank at nineteen

So I set off to join the U.S. Army
The first time I left my country
I felt the desert sand marchin' under my feet, come march with me

But if you come along

Yeah you'll be alright!
Some say that were back in school
Back in school we'll break the rules
Yeah we'll break the rules
But you'll be alright
We salute you

Where do all the dead boys go?

Go, go, go, go
No solution, just bombs below
Where do all the dead boys go?

Check out the whole album here: http://www.lyrics.net/artist.php?name=Living+Things&aid=557289&o=1

January 20 2016:

I am working on the first black and white sketch of a series, I just now decided to call; devilish bones. I could barely finish half this morning. It is going to take more than one day and have not done that in a while with the stylus.

I prefer to think of the band Wolf Parade as a cd only band, turned up very load. I hate their official music videos. This is a very cool video I found of them back in 2008:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEOap4k5sd8 I have never seen a organist get so much into his music.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_Parade#Discography

Wolf Parade is an indie rock band formed in 2003 in Montreal, Quebec of musicians from British Columbia. The band went on indefinite hiatus in 2011, but announced its return to recording and performing in January 2016!

I dedicate this to my wife whose green eyes have warmed me for 30 years of marriage and still do:

Give me your eyes

I need sunshine
Give me your eyes

I need sunshine : Wolf Parade

One of my good friends from World of Tanks recommended these cool websites:

I can not imagine if you read this entire blog that you would come away with anything less than a love for art and all it entails. I do not mean reading every 5 paragraphs; I mean soaking up the whole thing into your heart and soul.

I think of this song every time I think of; what is it going to take for you to love me, what is it going to take for me to prove to you that I care; genuinely totally care about everyone that loves life and art the way I do.

The Amazing Rolling Stones!

"It's Only Rock 'N' Roll (But I Like It)"

If I could stick my pen in my heart

And spill it all over the stage
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would you think the boy is strange? Ain't he strange?
If I could win ya, if I could sing ya
A love song so divine
Would it be enough for your cheating heart
If I broke down and cried? If I cried?
I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it
I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it
I said can't you see that this old boy has been a lonely?
If I could stick a knife in my heart
Suicide right on stage
Would it be enough for your teenage lust
Would it help to ease the pain? Ease your brain?
If I could dig down deep in my heart
Feelings would flood on the page
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would ya think the boy's insane? He's insane
I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it
I said I know it's only rock'n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it
I said can't you see that this old boy has been a lonely?
And do ya think that you're the only girl around?
I bet you think that you're the only woman in town
I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it
I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it
I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it. I like it...

Wolf Parade - I'll Believe In Anything [OFFICIAL VIDEO]!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G1eLTV89dM

I loved these guys and it makes me so sad they don't make music like this anymore. This album on my iPod full blast at night on 75 full throttle on my Kawasaki Ninja 1200 cc; and I owned the highway from Dallas to Sherman, Texas.

Walk around with both legs

Fight the scary day

We both pull the tricks out of our sleeves

But I'll believe in anything

And you'll believe in anything
Said I'll believe in anything
And you'll believe in anything

If I could take the fire out from the water

And I could take another hit for you

And I could take away your trips from you
And I could take away the salt from your eyes
And take away the spitting salt in you
And I could give you my apologies
By handing over my neologies
And I could take away the shaking knees
And I could give you all the olive trees
Oh look at the trees and look at my face and look at a place far away from here

( I LOVE THIS PART! IT SOUNDS LIKE THE WOODS AROUND HERE AFTER A GREAT RAYN SEASON )

Give me your eyes

I need sunshine
Give me your eyes

I need sunshine

Your blood
Your bones
Your voice
And your ghost

We've both been very brave

Walk around with both legs
Fight the scary day
We both pull the tricks out of our sleeves

But I'll believe in anything

And you'll believe in anything

If I could take the fire out from the water

I'd share a life and you'd share a life
If I could take the fire out from the water
I'd share a life and you'd share a life
If I could take the fire out from the water
I'd take you where nobody knows you
And nobody gives a damn
I said nobody knows you
And nobody gives a damn
I said nobody knows you
And nobody gives a damn either way
About your blood
Your bones
Your voice
And ghost
Because nobody knows you
And nobody gives a damn either way

And now I'll believe in anything

I did another quick sketch with my stylus. This completes the series. I do not know what I will do next but I do plan on doing everything in series; I am just going to go with the flow. These make great backgrounds for your desktop: Here ya go:

January 16 2016:

As you all know that read my blog every winter; I like to talk about my vegetable soups. I always experiment when I cook; trying something a little different all the time. The year I have discovered something awesome. I call it sauce soup. As you all must also I am fanatic about making a great spaghetti sauce. My natural instinct as a Sicilian to crave hardcore Italian food. I slow cook my sauce for about 10 hours and it is delicious. I just ad more water and liquids than I normally do, then save the left over’s in two small containers and use that for soup and add some hot peppers; and it is absolutely thee best.

It took me a while to get used to and like very spicy soup. Now that I have enjoyed it for so long I am hook for sure. I use my Ninja food chopper and wash and cut all my peppers and chop them seeds and all. I buy picked hot peppers and use the juice to store the pepper mash and use that for my soups. You can only store the peppers once in the jar; after that the liquid is no good. I also have discovered the joys of slow cooking bones and meat leavens to made soup broth. My favorite is steak soup. They should sell steak broth it is really good. I use my spatter guard to strain all the finely small pieces from the broth.

January 13 2016:

Matthew 7:1-3 7 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

It is so ironic that the very people that judge people wrongly are the worst of all.

A picture tells a thousand words, these are the pictures that I should be judge by. Human beings don't spent two months at a time on a painting and fake it!

I as a artist refused to be labeled a poser or a fake. This blog reveals to you a life time of good old wholesome artwork. If you see all the work displayed by me here; there is no way you can call me a fake our a sell out. To see all the work you see here and say I have done all this just to please people and give them a impression of me that is not true; is a lie at best and at worst a crime deserving of punishment I would not wish on anyone.

A quick note about the great band the Cure:

The Cure (the band) and the cure scene my wife and I in our prime the late 1980's when we got married (we did not know there was such a scene surrounding the band the cure. This was just before the internet.) We both loved The Cure.

I have been a fan of The Cure since the first vhs video of them at the orange to this day I wish would come to dvd (boys don't cry was there only hit song at the time) I remember renting this video in the late 1980's.

from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cure

The Cure are an English rock band formed in Crawley, West Sussex, in 1976. The band has experienced several line-up changes, with vocalist, guitarist and principal songwriter Robert Smith being the only constant member. The Cure first began releasing music in the late 1970's with their debut album Three Imaginary Boys; this, along with several early singles, placed the band as part of the post-punk and new wave movements that had sprung up in the wake of the punk rock revolution in the United Kingdom. During the early 1980's, the band's increasingly dark and tormented music was a staple of the emerging gothic rock genre.

January 12 2016:

I hope this is helpful to all my fellow North Texans and everyone else too.

My mom said she did research and found wool to be the warmest clothing. I looked it up and found this. My recent email to my mom:

I have always hated wool because it inched. My favorite log underwear is by far my wife's old army issued gear. Better make sure it is real cold before you put this stuff on; unless it makes you sweat real bad.

Here is how to get the itch out:

Wool, one of the most widely used fibers in clothing design, is sturdy and provides a great deal of warmth. It absorbs dye quite well and can be spun into various levels of thickness. Unfortunately, wool clothing can be itchy due to its coarse fibers which don't bend easily and can uncomfortably poke the skin. Making your favorite wool sweater more pliable and soft is easy -- as with all hair, wool benefits from shampoo and conditioner.

Step 1: Wash and Rinse Fill a large sink with lukewarm water. Add in about a 1/4 cup of mild shampoo, and gently stir.

Submerge the sweater into the soapy water, very gently rotating it around to ensure it is completely saturated. Do not agitate or rub it as this can cause shrinkage. The gentle cleansing solution in the shampoo will clean the wool effectively and relax the fibers. Allow sweater to sit in the bath for about a half hour.

Step 2: Condition and Rinse Remove the sweater from the bath as you drain the sink. Do not wring or twist it. Instead, lay it aside onto a towel. Fill your empty sink with tepid water and add in about 6 tablespoons of hair conditioner. Mix the conditioner into the water with your hand to ensure it is well mixed. Fully submerge the sweater into the water and leave for 10 minutes. This allows the conditioner to fully absorb into the sweater and soften the fibers. Avoid agitating or rubbing the garment. Drain the sink, and fill with tepid water again. Gently dip the sweater up and down in the water. Drain and refill sink, as necessary, until water is clear.

Step 3: Dry Remove the sweater from the bath and place it onto a fresh clean towel. Gently roll the towel while the sweater is still laying flat on it. As you roll, lightly press down to express the excess water. Do not wring or twist the sweater, as this will damage the texture and fibers. Unroll and place the sweater flat on a fresh towel to air dry.

What Are the Warmest Materials for Winter?

Wool

Wool is a natural fiber that is made from the sheared fur of an animal's coat. A variety of animals are sheared for wool. Sheep are the most common. Some other fibers would include angora/rabbit wool, mohair/goat wool, cashmere/goat down, vicuna/llama wool and camel's hair. They can range in texture from soft and smooth to rough and scratchy. In addition to its insulating properties, wool is absorbent. It can retain up to 30 percent of its weight in moisture. Wool is also prone to shrinking. Worsted wool is smoother than other varieties.

Fleece

Fleece is a versatile fabric that is soft with a deep pile. Fleece does not fray or unravel when cut, so it is easy to work with. It is comfortable and breathable, so it is often used for winter sports and garments. Fleece is a synthetic fabric often made from Polyethylene terephthalate, which is the same material used to make plastic bottles. Fleece is designed to mimic wool, but the fibers are knit instead of woven like wool. Fleece dries quickly and it doesn't shrink or bleed color. However, fleece can pill, which affects the way it looks. To avoid pilling, wash fleece alone and turn it inside out. Fleece is moisture wicking, so it keeps moisture away from your body. Flannel Flannel is made from cotton, which is a natural fiber harvested from a plant. It is a woven fabric with a low, soft nap on both sides. It can be brushed to add softness. Flannel is used to make clothing and home decor items such as linens and blankets. It is also be used as a lining for garments because of its insulating properties. Flannel that is 100-percent cotton does shrink when dried. Flannel often comes in plaid prints but can also be solid color.

Velour

Velour is a plush, knitted fabric made from a blend of cotton and synthetic materials like polyester. Velour has the soft feel of velvet but the give of spandex, which makes it ideal for active wear garments. The extreme softness of velour makes it preferable for home decor items as well. It is often used to cover pillows and for blankets.

January 10 2016:

I am watching True Grit right now thanks to Dish.com.

I just wrote 2 reviews on IMDB.com:

True Grit http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065126/ 1969:

This movie is the culmination of John Wayne’s entire carrier and in my opinion is his way of saying goodbye to us all right down to when he jumps that rail with his trade mark beautiful long legs horses; of which I have painted many times over. I have also painted the background in this movie including my four foot by 3 foot acrylic on wood the fall painting: http://radmanart2ndhome.blogspot.com/

Every minute of every moment of the 1969 movie; True Grit make, me want to cry; it is so perfectly done. Every human being in this live deserves revenge on someone; this is much apart of this life as we shall all live. Whether or not you have a mental disorder and think you can take that revenge yourself is a rare if non existent fact. Hopefully you see the reason that revenge is best rot by the law, or God himself.

I hold no quarter in proclaiming; if I should name a real life movie character; that is my real life hero; it was John Wayne. In the move True Grit; I also name that person to be Glen Campbell a great hero as well. Please do your homework and check out John Wayne’s library of movies to prove my point and like listening to Marylyn Masons first 3 CD’s and saying he is no good, you better wake up. Compared to John Wayne you must be ignorant or just plane stupid, to say John Wayne is not a real life hero of the silver screen. See the movie The Searches http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049730/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_44 to bring what I said right to your heart. I let this movie speak for itself. Now to go give the remake a very bad review something I have never done. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1403865/

True Grit 2010: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1403865/

Some movies are way too sacred to remake. I am insulted by this move! Please see my review of the original True Grit Movie staring John Wayne! I respect the Coen Brothers in every sense of the word. And Jeff Bridges; gulp. With movies like the original and best King Kong and the original and the best Tron: I dare not put Jeff down.

True Grit should not have been remade. I saw this whole movie with my wife and hated all of it!Sorry but I rate this movie a negative zero. See my review of the original True Grit now partner. Some movies a too sacred to be remade and this is one of them! Some times in movies you say; how dare you and this is that.

January 08 2016:

I got a early start this morning and my chores are done for now, so I decided to do another quick sketch. These make great backgrounds for your desktop:

I bet you think I forgot all about this blog. The truth is;blog is always on my mind everyday of my life. My wife is feeling better these days and I am happy. The bad thing about being happy is that time goes by so fast. This week just flew by.

I know I told you all how much I love Hank Williams III:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hank_Williams_III

Shelton Hank Williams, also known as Hank Williams III and Hank 3 (born December 12, 1972), is an American musician, singer and multi-instrumentalist. In addition to his honky tonk recordings, Williams' style alternates between country, punk rock and metal. He is the principal member of the punk metal band Assjack, the drummer for the Southern hardcore punk band Arson Anthem, and was the bassist for Pantera singer Phil Anselmo's band Superjoint Ritual. He has released seven studio albums, including five for Curb Records. Williams is the grandson of Hank Williams, Sr., son of Hank Williams, Jr., and the half-brother of Holly Williams.

Last time I called the local Texan plumber with the full on accent, out here to help me fix my water pipes, down in that caliche. I said; have you ever heard of Hank Williams III? I said; do you know what the first words on the first album Hank Williams III made? "

"I might get drunk and rob a bank
Shoot my car if it don't crank"

Hank Williams III - I Don't Know Lyrics

I discovered another great, up to date, country music artist just by surfing around YouTube fairly recently:

Hellbound Glory:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellbound_Glory

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hellbound Glory is an American Country and Roots Rock band featuring Singer-Songwriter Leroy Virgil. The band was originally formed in Reno, Nevada in 2008 by Virgil. Describing the band’s style as “Americana,” Virgil credits his influences as “Hank Williams, Nirvana, and Hank Williams Jr.”

According to The Oklahoma Gazette (February 26, 2014), "Hellbound Glory has three studio albums, and Virgil is at work on new material."

Hellbound Glory is signed to The Agency Group LTD for worldwide booking representation.

This guy is amazing! I highly recommend his music.

Hellbound Glory - "Bastard Child" - Official Video - YouTube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDzyGXprgZY

"I'm proud of who I am

Proud of what I ain't"

Hellbound Glory lyrics from the song Bastard Child

I am staring at the best video on this planet lately. That is why I am into music again. There is nothing sweeter than playing this game to some great rock and roll music, full blast on the head phones! I like the lightweight foam style head phones. I hate those vice grip headphones because I wear glasses. I do not like ear buds either cause they start to irritate my ears after a while. I play the good old-fashioned PC Version of World of Tanks and the graphics are not that demanding either. I spent the holidays trying to get my hit points so I don't get killed too quick. I love tanks and always have! They amaze me like Mech's: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MechWarrior If you have not played this game you need to try it:

Here is some amazing art I did a few years back:

Even better this game was made in the USA!:

World of Tanks

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_of_Tanks#Development

World of Tanks is a massively multiplayer online game developed by Belarusian-Cypriot company Wargaming, featuring early to mid-20th century era fighting vehicles. It is built upon a freemium business model where the game is free-to-play, but participants also have the option of paying a fee for use of "premium" features. The focus is on player vs. player gameplay with each player controlling an armored vehicle, which may be a light, medium or heavy tank, tank destroyer, or self-propelled gun. World of Tanks debuted as an eSports game at the World Cyber Games 2012.

Some posted a replay here and it has me at work in action: http://wotreplays.com/site/2381557

I go by the handle 2ndAD2015MPD. 2nd AD was my wife's unit in the army and MPD stands for Middletown Police Department were my dad served as a officer half of his great life.

I have a love hate relationship with this game. There is all the non stop harassment like I experienced with League of Legends like I told you on my 2015 page. The cool thing about this game is you can turn off chat while playing with a in game option. This way you do not get killed as often being faced with the disgusting and revolting things many of the desperate for attention type people say in chat. WOT has a good reputation of banning the leaches that abuse chat. I hope they use the law if necessary to it's fullest extent against violators of the chat function, they sure have the money to hire lots of lawyers. As disgusting as it sounds I am sure that there is a actual population of online trolls that plays online games simply to abuse the chat functions of a game. The cool thing is you can still access in game default chat words to help your team win.

I did a quick sketch this morning:

What else? I guess "that'll do er" for now.

January 03 2016:

This is a quote from my new page here: Radman_Art Home Page 2015 :

"Well that's it. I did what I said I was going to do. I have given to the internet one year of faithful artwork. Semper Fi! I would do another year but I am sure the screen would have to be replaced. I have tried to get sponsored by sending emails to all the big art tablet sellers to no avail. So I will take it easy on my little 4 inch by 6 inch tablet and still do art on it; but not on a regular basis, pushing it's limits too much. I will still be posting my new art on my blog every once and a while here: http://radmanart2ndhome.blogspot.com/ , so take heart. I am not done with digital sketches. It beats storing up paintings in my house overcrowding my wife and I. You can barley see my walls with what ever art theme I choose at the time. Not to mention the piles of painting that could take up a small room and the 4 foot by 6 foot by 2 foot crate I made years ago to store my art from 1988 - 1999."

See this page here: Radman_Art Home Page 2015 from now on.

Happy 2016. I think it is going to be great!

I do enjoy writing, though. I am long winded on paper and have been all my life. I consider writing to be a artistic, creative free expression.

I can create entire paragraphs that may have different meanings. I do believe in whole subjects being confined to paragraphs and sentences and rarely deviate from that.

Appreciation for a open and free internet is immeasurable; to exercise the right of free expression.

Please, feel free to judge me by the people that have been hand in hand with; since the day I was born, to this very day.

This was my dad who was a police officer from about 1970 to 1996 in Middletown, Connecticut.

This was my dad who was US Air Force Veteran from about 1957 to 1961 in Great Falls, Montana where I was born.

My Wife a US Army Vet from 1992 - 2010.

My dad and me around 1962 at the Malmstrom Air Force Base where I was born.

This is where I was born, cool huh?

High ranking Air Force doctors delivered me into this world. It's all on my birth certificate.
Check it out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malmstrom_Air_Force_Base

Malmstrom Air Force Base is a United States Air Force base and census-designated place in Great Falls, Cascade County, Montana, United States. It was named in honor of World War II POW Colonel Einar Axel Malmstrom. Wikipedia

I made this from my favorite war movie:

Google Drive:

I have something very cool to share with you all! It took me about 14 years to post it; but I am excited to make this available on Google Drive. I am posting this on top and will leave it here. These are interactive programs I made in Collin College around the year 2003, for my Macromedia Director class with Mike McGee.

8 Ball! I had a 8 Ball that stopped working. I cracked it open and made this totally random program. Just click on the 8 Ball for a random answer every time. I did the 3D work in Tom Ottinger's Cinema 4D Class. Listen to the opening sound effect I made; it is very spooky.

Click here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3iWoTvKM9F_MWloQVVJemttSG8

Next is a interactive Radman_Art introduction. It stars Mega Radman and Deadman; 2 characters in my 3d Animations I made in Tom Ottinger's Classes. Just click on the character and they have a conversation with each other. The volume is in the middle. It also features animations. Just click the character that turns lime green.

Next is a little birdy chirp mini program, I made to commemorate the wonderful birds; I hear singing all the time around here in Collin County.

I know you will love them so I will say; your welcome.

A Intro To This Blog:

Please do not judge this blog by this page only. Use the menu on the right and view all the art images of art I created. Everything here is Rated G.

Then after that, view all my YouTube videos I created; also Rated G, here: https://www.youtube.com/user/RadmanArt2012 or just put Radman_Art in YouTube search.

After you have done that, read as much as you can of the encyclopedia's worth of posts (also Rated G); I have posted on this blog and YouTube.

Then and only then, can you can properly judge the positive contribution I have made to the art world and the internet. Also you can then judge; whether or not I have posted more original art than any one else on the internet.

This is a mirror Blog I made for when this blog stopped working. I just used this account to ad another blog because this blog stopped working. I do not update the mirror Blog as often as this Blog.

I posted this because I had a serious problem with my YouTube videos on this blog. It was actually jamming the page making it nonfunctional. I do not post here until January so it is a good thing I checked it. I did my best to fix everything and will have to keep a eye on this blog more often.

It seems Google has changed there ability to post YouTube Videos on a blog. It is s good think I have them backed up on my Google Drive so I am pasting them all here:
