I like Bowie

David Bowie once said, "Talking about art is like dancing about architecture."
That's his opinion, but tell me how many musicals have come out about architecture since he said that?
I'm guessing zero. I think he is correct, and I am wondering about all those long college classes discussing art that I took. I could have been dancing about architecture instead, getting exercise.
I can only guess what doing the polka about doric columns would look like, or heaven forbid, the lambada.

Yesterday's post, published today, as set for tomorrow

Look, he has a FORK! How cute, he thinks he's people!

He'll never get anywhere in the restaurant service industry serving food with his hands, I would think, unless it is some new european thing? Oh, it is? Well, then very well.

"I just don't feel the chemistry."

rough sketch> in-progress>

base idea was to use the "Gibson Girl" as the basis, but the size and time req. moved it to a more cartoonish in execution, and who doesn't want to see Disney-esque Zombie women with piled up high hair?

...You don't feel chemistry because I am all toxicology, baby. I am a study of poisons.

Every loving thing will be all right, alright?

This is my sketch.
This is what happened next, but it is not finished... Yet.

the blood drop was left out at the corner of the mouth as it looked a little...

too vicious.
This zombie social queen is at a dinner party, a ZOMBIE DINNER PARTY (© 2009), though I can understand the confusion about it actually being an image from PROM NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (©, 2009 M.Chubb, All Rights Reserved)...
More images tomorrow, promise...
...
Did you know Abe Lincoln filed bankruptcy five (5) times? Hopefully that is not consecutively, but still, even great men of history have problems. Makes my problems and events seem minor and finite and recoverable-from, but when I go to the theatre, I demand the door be locked and I have a solid wall behind me. Just to be, you know, safe. Those that do not learn from history are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past.

My mistakes?

-I listed ZOMBIE DINNER PARTY on a public website, and compounded it by mention of PROM NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (two original ideas now wafting through the high seas of internet possible piracy, thank god no one reads this thing and sealed documents with notary marks on them are admissable in every court, maybe even some international ones).
-I did not get an annulment as planned a few months later (then I would not have my Pi and that is no mistake, plus I would have died from cancer).

-I spent too much time believing that person that told me when I was fifteen, that the garbage man had more artistic talent in his small finger than I did or would. It ate away the good things in my lifeand left me with holes full of hot dark hate, acidic burning... Anyway, that is over... For the most part, right?

...Right??

April 17th, too late for tax

some sketches (rough) of some future (spec) work I hope to do.

...

My name does NOT come from a fish, the chub, but from way far back before people thought fish named people instead of the other way...
Chubb is only the most modern spelling. in the 11th or 12th century, or medieval English, it was spelled as, "Jubb" having changed it from the original to hide its roots during the holy crusades. Originally my family last name was, "Job" (jo-B) which in ancient Hebrew meant persecuted, cursed by God.
We have a whole book in the Bible, don't you know, we are practically famous, wot?

I don't know art, but I know pornography...

...And this, sir, is not pornography!

Man, all art is pornography. When are people going to realize that? Let me pull down my dictionary and look up the definition.

...

hmmm, "scaramouch," good word. I have write that down for later...

...

"Literature in which prostitutes figure."

What?
What does the prostituting of figure in literature have to do with pornography? And, if I am reading this wrong (which I may be), what does hookers doing math in fiction, or non-fiction have to do with what (I thought) porn was? Let me look up the word "Literature," or "figure."

...

I did not know "La" was a word.

...

"Belles-lettres"? How is that part of a definition for literarture, I now need a understanding of the french language to read an english dictionary? Next time I am asked a definition of a word, I better be prepared in a second language, I think.
I think I was thinking of some slang definition of, "Figure" as none of that which I was thinking relates to math, but is pretty on-spot with my prostituting of the figure idea as first assumed.
Art is pornography, to someone somewhere. Every piece of art is a prostitution of the original form as conceived by the artist and not as originally created or seen by others. The image has been subverted and being used as like a pimp does his "girls" for income.
I am a porn monger and have been my whole life, and I did not know it until today.
How about that?

(If I have a daughter, I am going to [potentially out of dozens of choices] name her, "Zoë Ophelia Chubb" [Z.O.C.], that should be fun. I can call her, "Zee-Oh" as a nickname.)

...

I know. "Literature in which prostitutes figure" but not all people in pornography are prostitutes. I thought maybe Catcher in the Rye was classed as pornography once, along with other "banned" books put forward for burning by small minded people. I think I have a suspicion that my "works" might be offensive to at least one person in the world, seeing as I have heard the question of "Did you have to sign something with the Devil, or do you do this all for him for free?" (Thanks, Mom.) or "You are one of those 'Liberals,' ain't you?" or "what drugs were you on when you made that?"

Ha ha, very funny

I find this funny as years ago I had a print out of the original WWII propaganda poster, "When you drive alone, you drive with Hitler" thumbtacked to my cubicle wall, and recently I have been tasked at work with duplicating this art style.
I promise this is not the start of my putting up other people's art on my site in lieu of my own. I just want to warn people to not be spooning Hitler without knowing it.

Here is my work in progress, which is likely to not be used anywhere as there has been a shift in my un-named workplace and someone else will be tasked to complete this, making it the fourth person(s) and/or group to work on it.

uno de Abril

The blurred image above is blurred.
And, unfinished.

The whole page it is on is unfinished, so I am posting a clip from it so I can feel better about myself, and discovered I feel better about the image blurred. Maybe better is not the right word; I like the result from a 5.5 gaussian blur and I am enthused about the whole page now, after seeing a third of it blurred to near oblivion. (If it looks that good now, what the heck is it going to look like clear?)
Click on it, open it up. Take a gander, don't be shy.
It is the first of April, no joke.
