Red Mermaid





Jeff makes another version of his mermaid-
this one has a secret.
What is it?
I'm thinking- I'm thinking...
She's swimming while she's singing to me-
Wait, I'm trying to think-
(Jeff snaps out a rhythm)
Did you hear that?
Yeah!
That's what I'm thinking she's doing.

the moving ashtray

Bobbie is working on this image- It's based on an experience she had as a wedding guest.
"I think something must have been going through my head- Somebody told me I had telepathic powers- So I tried to move the ashtray - and it moved. You would be amazed at how many people have telekinetic - telepathic powers. My doctor told me I had ESP a long time ago. It's weird- I have a little gift inside me - you inherit these gifts - you can't put it in a bottle or buy it in a store."

Why am I making more pictures for people to sell, buy, to have?
I am making a new picture- its sell able.- The person gets to keep the wrapping, and the picture frame. Harold do they get to keep the picture as well? Yeah! What are you selling lately? Pictures about everything in the Bible, the Earth and the Heavens. I Show a lot of pictures about the Earth, how people do everything. If you end up in jail, go ahead earn money be free, but to spend that's what I am talking about. That's a lot of things (topics) all at once Harold? Don't you think? Harold do you feel that you suffer from sensory overload? YEAH! Whats it like to hear all these things at once? AHH- Like,- Hello- A T.V. in your head- its like playing music -the sounds of horn, microphone, loud. Yes its True.- Yes! Can You turn it off like a T.V. Harold ? Yeah> How do you do that? It goes round and round the button gets pushed all the way in. I meant your feelings of overload, Harold how can you turn them off? Some one to care about me, my attitude positive, and good. I like that Harold -Someone to care for and about you, we get caught up in so much, and forget that. I like that idea very much, it seems universal but we lose track sometimes.
I am glad your my friend Harold. Anytime Brian.

A Cigar Can

Harold and I are working on a short video featuring his original music and images. Working title "A Cigar Can"
Harold do want to talk about the video. Yeah that's a good idea, I like it. Shh- I kinda forgot what I was going to say. Ok-Harold lets start this way. What about the idea of airplanes moving through a shifting space. Where are they going? To war. What are they at odds with Harold? To go get rid of the bad guys. Do we see the bad guys in the video. Yeah!! How will people recognise the bad guys in the video? They have pink eyes. They are going to war to stop all the killing in this country. To make Peace around the world so people can have all the things they need and enjoy ice cream.

Sounds Utopian Harold. Let's finish the video and see what happens.

Coffee and Cup Cakes


Kinda like cigarettes and chocolate milk- Caffeine and Sugar are King.-Huh. We just made this image after our morning coffee. John King emphatically states -What I like about coffee it's good Yeah! Do you like making the coffee here at Little City John? Oh Yeah! I never get mad- I like to make coffee all the time. What do you do- is there something special you do to make the studio coffee so good? I forgot. What do you put in the coffee? Sugar. Anything else? Cream.
You got it? I think I get it John.

The Corpse of Michael Jackson

Today I made Michael Jackson's corpse.
We added some paint to the paper mache which made it look a little like tuna fish.
I also painted his coffin but I'll show you that later on.

Michael Jackson was a good singer. He made Thriller. His family was at the funeral and his kids including Paris, the little girl (Janet Jackson's niece). Stevie Wonder was also there. He sang and played the piano and then everyone got together and sang "We Are The World." We had a nice time seeing Michael Jackson's funeral on TV. It was a nice funeral.

I also want to make the bodies of Farrah Fawcet, Walter Cronkite, Ed McMahon, Johnny Carson, and the five Stooges, although they only show three of them on TV at the
same time.

Laughing Turtle


Amanda's not sure why her turtle has so many legs, but she's definitely happy about it.

the madonna mermaid by Jeff

Jeff: Maybe she floated down here from the rain.
JM: From where?
Jeff: From the angels- like she's talking to me. Like she's going to McDonald's - she's going to bring me a rootbeer.
JM: Does McDonald's have a 'swim-thru'?
Jeff: yeah!

Luke and Chopin are mustachioed in the hopes of staying incognito.

Chopin was a great pianist. He was born 1810 to 1849 in Zelazowa Wola near Warsaw Poland.
He knew how to play the piano very well, and had a girlfriend. He died of tuberculosis and is buried in Paris. His well known works are Polonaises and lots of Nocturnes. - He liked Waltzes too. Luke T.

Luke on Farrah Fawcett's passing- Coffin design

I liked her in Charlies Angels.
I hope to get a DVD of her starring in Charlie's Angels.
I liked that she I like fought all the bad guys.

Ahhh- She talked to David Doyle. He played Charlie - Jaclyn Smith
and Kate Jackson talked too.

My design for her coffin would be a car. -Because she was on the road.

You were a good actress.
We miss you.
Luke T.

Luke needs to know what Michael Jacksons coffin looks like.





Luke's life long obsession with all things Composing and
De- composing leads to the question. what will the King of Pop
be entombed in?


Michael Jackson's coffin like a tube.
Yes!
like a box.
Yes!
Like a glove.
OK!
Like a shoe.
Yes!
Like a Black Hat.
Yes!
Like his music.
Yes!!!!
I had his album but I gave it away to one of my nieces. I am now sad I gave it away.

Karen's Wishes for the Fourth of July

My first wish for the fourth of July I am worried about fingers and fireworks.
Glad I don't have to work that day.
That's not good to have someones fingers blown off.
I heard that this happens .
I heard about it on the news.
Did you hear about Michael Jackson?
I think the doctor did it.
Michael Jackson was dancing on stage and his hair caught on fire from fireworks.
Be careful.
