When cleaning the "BUNKER," one sometimes puts on "background noise." In today's case, I went to TUBI (not a sponsor) and rewatched "Time Warp: The Greatest Cult Films of All Time (Vol. 2): Horror & Sci-Fi." Naturally, some of my favorite, most formative movies are discussed in this doc, including DEATH RACE 2000, EVIL DEAD, BUCKAROO BONZAI, BLADE RUNNER, etc., etc., etc... Fun trip down VIDEO-STORE-MEMORY-LANE! (Free to watch, with commercial breaks, which suck, but what do you expect for FREE???)

I'm watching web docs on #outsiderart, and the narrators mention how manic artists will sometimes create over A THOUSAND or TWO THOUSAND drawings or paintings in life.

I have something closer to 20,000 drawings, zines, paintings, etc., including almost 5,000 on one single blog! Why ain't I outsider art? I'm manic!

Mariah and I both make art (for anybody NEW, Mariah is my boss...I mean, my WIFE.) I share my art all the time, but Mariah tends not to jump on social media, accept when she's sharing pictures of her grandkids! Anywho, here are some recent postcard collages that she made during our last mailart marathon...

I love her style. Very fun!

Looks like I took YESTERDAY off from electronic art stuff. Turns out, there was some form of FOOD BASED festival that required my participation in a family gathering. Though I didn't post no ARTZ yesterday, I did doodle quite a bit in my little notebook. I feel good about it. The event wasn't too bad. Food, family, even sunshine (which weird people who AREN'T ME enjoy...) My 92 year old grandma, Lucille, was there, and I visited with her for most of the day. I also got a chance to sit with my one-month-old grandson, Riot, for a little while. All in all (despite the horrifying sunshine), it was a pretty good day!
