PHADE

Ok so this is the latest Phade piece. I painted it today at the 14 devison fire hall. I painted this with 7 half (some even less than half) cans of spray paint, caps that werent the right size and in the cold... for those of you who know about this stuff you know how much of a hassle that can be. I wasn't able to do a 3D on this one( lack of paint), and it's not my best piece but under the circumstances i'd say it's a job well done

in progress

2008-11-30T07:50:00.001-08:00

a canvas in progress, not really sure where to go with it next... any ideas?

Data Transmissions

2008-11-28T23:07:00.000-08:00

Transmission status: uploading data...

Political ponds take ear as politicians make the false promise of a prospourose tommorow Behind the scene's these bastards plot ways to escape the inevedible turmoil of the future that they've scripted.

Humanities blindness has left this mind uncertain of the wellbeing, of human beings for the years we have left. Some sit and listen to the nonsequencal nonsense of the fourth branch, while this cool cat keeps it calm on an elevated peaceful plateau. Maintaining my mind frame unsubject to the pointless propaganda.

Political rep's and corporate exec's are both the same to me... two peas burning in a pot. What's troublesome is the fact that these two peas control this era which is dictated by the commodity that they own. Well if money really is the devils playground than he must be having a blast. Too bad most of us are stuck in the circumstance of present day. It's no wonder why half of the world is on crutches.

Being one of the fiew sane people in the midst of insanity can ruin even the sharpest of minds. What's left is the question that fallows... What will you do to prevent corruption from consuming you? It's like my man Tecknique once said "We don't get the cheap labour for our company's after the war, we are that cheap labour. So put down that remote, forget the media, pick up a book and READ!"
