Art is the apex of human endeavor,
the cognizant mind at its most clever,
an expression made to last forever.
#Xerado: manifestations of my rampant imagination.

“It is a narrow mind which cannot look at a subject from various points of view.”
― George Eliot

“In all affairs it's a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted.”

“No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.

The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and his lovingness."

The production of something is not what makes a body an artist. It is the soul that makes an artist, the core of the psyche that fills the person, the #creative fire inside a person that make them an #artist."
― Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Fanning the flames of creative fire.

Humans carve compositional abstractions
across the earth
where they live and work,
but seem not to notice until they look down
on themselves
and then there is the perspective of gods
laid out before those who behold.

Puzzled, with pieces falling
where they may,
or may not.
There may be a dichotomy,
a successive forking
into two
but not necessarily
equal divisions
in a proposed equation,
but reality offers a much more
fragmented outcome,
fractured factions
gathered together,
an amalgamation.

With too much of the world in a seeming meltdown, insistent on war, conflict, strife, destruction on a daily basis, an abject nullification of the higher aspects of what defines us a noble creatures, it seems obligatory for me to continue my existence as an antithesis to madness.

@AliExpress_EN Buyers Beware!!! A post to President Trump about your crooked ways.
An order was made to #Aliexpress. It's a front for a secret #Chinese war on American consumers. #Fraud that is a 100% tariff. Here's proof in a small initial order. Sock them back.
See it.

@realDonaldTrump In an effort to protect myself from thieving illegal aliens and nasty drug addicts that surround me, an order was made to #Aliexpress. It's a front for a secret #Chinese war on American consumers. Fraud that is a 100% tariff. Here's proof in a small initial order. Sock them back.

Once a piece of art is concluded and ejected into the world it changes with every single pair of eyes and becomes an endless object of transformation.
The spectator makes it his or her own.
Don't decontextualize it and call it truth-call it your perspective.
― Laura Gentile, poet

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do!
Back when it was great, and tweets were actually seen by others, without having to pay.

in a test of public approval,
its share of the popular vision,
its closely watched resources,
with a tight grip, robust scrutiny,
while bracing for turbulence.
unprecedented influence
is far greater
in untested opponents.
after small gains,
potentially choppy surprises,
upsets.

Sirens suddenly sounded in
a number of outside areas
following a missile launch,
which was intercepted
only moments before
by aerial defense systems.
Intelligence from human sources
would better a position
delivery on its mission
to cautiously collect
and analyze intelligence.

In a shimmering forest, a tiny sprite, Lumia, discovered a lost star fallen from the sky. With her courage, and a sprinkle of moonlit dust, she climbed the tallest tree to return it to its celestial home. The grateful star gifted Lumia a radiant glow, lighting the forest forever.

Bands play the same songs, over and over. Symphonies are merely cover bands. Actors memorize the writings of others and make faces while repeating them - on camera. The downfall of an #artist is "style", which actually means "set in concrete".

I defy expectations. The real deal.

“Earth teems with sights and textures, sounds and vibrations, smells and tastes, electric and magnetic fields. But every animal can only tap into a small fraction of realities fullness. Each is enclosed within its own unique sensory bubble” ― Ed Yong: #science journalist

Tap in.

“Abstract art enables the artist to perceive beyond the tangible, to extract the infinite out of the finite. It is the emancipation of the mind. It is an exploration into unknown areas.” ― Arshile Gorky

“Life is an abstract #art, and it’s up to you to make sense of it.” ― Giebra

"Creativity arises from our ability to see things from many different angles."
― Keri Smith: #author, #illustrator, conceptual #artist

"What is life but the angle of vision? A man is measured by the angle at which he looks at objects."
― Ralph Waldo Emerson: #philosopher, #poet

“A scientist can pretend that his work isn't himself, it's merely the impersonal truth. An #artist can't hide behind the truth. He can't hide anywhere.”

A flagrant data breach
scraped vast amounts
of bytes while masked
in bluff, bluster,
snide misdirection,
a cloak of denials.
The lips flapping
eyes popping
miss the point.

A man, who fed
all that in-depth info
to his AI minion,
has results that could
decide the future.

#Vehicles
There is so much incredible #music.
The problem is that much of it lives and dies in obscurity.
That seems a huge travesty, one that should not go unaddressed.
This is a "Painting" of a performance, saving good stuff from the dustbin of #history.
