for the latest round in rotten immaterialism.



what, you haven't heard of Immaterialism (now capitalized, now TMed) the latest art-e fad to hit the trade publications? Then hang your head in shame and repent by watching Alan Colmes until you realize what's missing from your life.

1. Someone should thank Ralph Steadham

Because he was clearly the inspiration for this artist's work. But I like it, for what it's worth.

[thebigidea]

2. hmm...more max ernst, brion gysin, and andy warhol for me

actually that's a blind spot in my art-e intake... all i've really seen are the sketches in FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS & ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL '72...

Ralph Steadman... hmmm... time to fire up the www.powells.com and see what they have. anyone want to suggest anything not too coffee table-ee?

[sistersofmercy]

8. LOL!

14. You capture the spirit of the beast and the essence of the clan.

Thanks for your surrealistic work, thebigidea. It is a most fascinating and accurate portrayal of a monstrous family that would be at home during the fall of the Roman Empire or the rise of the Fourth Reich. I can almost see Caligula in the eyes and Himmler in the smirk. A despicable bunch captured in Dorian Gray.

BTW & speaking of Max Ernst: The Art Institute of Chicago houses several of his works. One painting, for me, is unforgettably beautiful. The work uses glass as a canvas. It is very small, only about 5" X 9". In it, I remember seeing an ocean universe of dripping sky colors and shapes and forests and life and people and cities and stars, all moving in its frozen perfection. It is mounted on a gallery wall about elbow-high. This is the only work of art I have ever wanted to steal. Of course, I wouldn't, but I had the strangest urge of "having to have it" that persists to the present day. It should be mine, I guess. Have you read the short story about unforgettable things written by the late Jorge Louis Borges called the "The Zahir"? This Ernst is like that. Your bacchanal W is like that, too.

[thebigidea]

15. I loved that piece

I lived in Hyde Park for a while making cheesy movies. The Dada and Surrealist room at the Art Institute was the greatest. That and the big Warhol MAO...

thanks for the comment, the Dorian Reich is definetely in mind.

Some day this will all make for one nightmarish oversized trade paperback-type-thing documenting the Cheney Years... and enough lawsuits as a result to keep me busy in my old age.

[thebigidea]

20. the Dorian Gray thing is really an appropriate metaphor

I hope one day we get the true story of the sick shit that went down between those two.

[Octafish]

22. I like what you said: "Dorian Reich"

The sins of the father shouldn't be blamed on the son, unless the son does the same things as the father. The Smirkelgrüber und Poppie burning in Hades. What an apt image. Just, too, considering it would be hard to conceive of a more hideous portrait than what these two have created for the canvas that is the United States of America of today, IF it can be called living.

A chain most sinister ...Prescott Sr. begat Nixon. Tricky Dick begat Bush. Bush begat Reagan and may've tried to un-begat him after a month on the job. Then Poppy begat Smirk. After re-election in '72, Nixon ordered everyone in his cabinet and government to turn in their resignation, except "Bush. He would do anything for our cause."

The Kennedy-Nixon-Bush Connection

by Paul Kangas

EXCERPT...

After Nixon's landslide victory in 1972, he knew he had to centralize all power into the White House to keep his faction in power, not only to hold power, but to prevent the media from digging into how he secretly shot his way into the White House, just like Hitler shot his way into control of Germany. The first thing Nixon did was to demand signed resignations of his entire government. "Eliminate everyone," he told John Ehrlichman about reappointment, "except George Bush. Bush will do anything for our cause." (Source: Pledging Allegiance, Sidney Blumenthal.)

The reason why Bush will "do anything" is because his hands have as much of Kennedy's blood on them as do Nixon's, Hunt's, Sturgis's, Felix Rodriguez's and Gerald Ford's. This White House gang fears that if the public ever realizes how they shot their way into power it could set off a spark that would destroy their fragile fraud and land them in jail.

Other famous Watergate members of the CIA invasion that Bush recruited were Frank Sturgis, E. Howard Hunt, Bernard Barker and Rafael Quintero. Quintero has said publicly that if he ever told what he knew about Dallas and the Bay of Pigs, "It would be the biggest scandal ever to rock the nation."

Meanwhile, in 1960, Preston (Prescott? -- Octafish) Bush was running Nixon's campaign. Nixon was sent to South Vietnam to assure the French- connection government there that if France pulled out, the U.S. would step in to protect the drug trade from the GoIden Triangle. (Source: Frontline, 1988, "Guns. Drugs and the CIA"; Alexander Cockburn; "Cocaine, the CIA and Air America," S.F. Examiner, Feb. 2, '91; The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia, Alfred McCoy, 1972.)

One part that I want to know is what Nixon meant by "anything." There's word a Nixon White House tape released in 2002 has Dickler stating the Warren Commission was a hoax perpetrated on the American people. I'll see if I can reference that onto this thread, illuminated by this beautiful work of yours.

[thebigidea]

32. the Nixon tapes, that grand hissy blessing

I wish someone would dig up dirt about Rummy/Cheney under the Nixon regime... Rumsfeld was sporting sick sideburns at the time, like the heavy in some bad action movie featuring explosions and/or John Saxon.

3. Peggy Noonan? BUT WHY?!?!

[sistersofmercy]

6. Ah a vision of loveliness indeed.

Good evening, Sunshine!

[thebigidea]

21. Ann Coulter, on the other hand...

I have an aversion to even attempting it!

though one day the bile will overwhelm at last...

[sistersofmercy]

23. What freaky pathetic needs to eat something, anything twit she is

There's nothing frightening about the vile little messenger pigeon that some meds can't cure.

[thebigidea]

24. anorexia or amphetamine? or is it just angst, Ann?

one day Drudge is going get pissed and start posting all sorts of dirt about her. Vipers like that don't stay friends long.

[Octafish]

25. She needs to Super-Size her diet...

Moof moo moff mrize miff maff?

Miss Coulter, left, grabs a quick bite
during her student days in Ann Arbor.

[thebigidea]

27. you know, that's almost the only "work" of hers I don't mind

and I'm ashamed to admit that one of my friends did similar things in a video made eons ago. Only it was much goofier. And less Coulterian.

And besides, at least "Grimace" wasn't involved. What the fuck is he even supposed to represent in the McDonald's alternate universe?

[sistersofmercy]

29. ROFL!

"What the fuck is he supposed to represent in the McDonald's alternate universe?" BWAHAHAHAHAA!

[thebigidea]

34. don't get me started, I'll start concocting elaborate lies about...

Mayor McCheese and his strange dissappearance... people whisper of graft, of sick rites...

4. I like it

18. and the critics rave! "It passes the time." says Arnold Palmer

33. "It makes me glad I'm dead." adds a disgruntled Martin Van Bueren

40. "It gets kicked for no apparent reason!" adds snide critic

[thebigidea]

5. new! and unimproved! double the images

twice the unenjoyment!

[T Bone]

9. Damn that is something bigidea

I like it in weird way. What should we do with that immaterialist image. Tell us. How would you have us react and act ?

[thebigidea]

10. let me dig up the body of Tristan Tzara and see what he suggests

by way of Manifesto.

Or maybe I'll put on a silver wig and sunglasses and say: "Oh, well - I really don't think about that, Bob. Gee, why is Nancy Reagan so mean? Boy, Brooke Shields is so dumb. But gee, Bob. The White House is really glamorous. I mean, really up there."

as far as acting, frothing mad at the monsters would be good. That's kind of the mood that prompts it. That and insomnia.

its interesting that you actually used the word "immaterialism" after I made it up for no apparent reason. Perhaps there is something to this labeling. Once you can frame a product, or brand it with an "ism," you get continuity. Or a pigeonhole, from which you end up signing autographs at RV conventions like Adam West forever more.

[thebigidea]

7. hot off the presses...

or in this case, the pizza box... that's right - the following drawing was affixed to a pizza I just ordered. What the fuck kinda twisted DARE crap is this?



ASHCROFT: "We'll hit those miserable dope addicts where it hurts most... on their beloved pizza!"

RIDGE: "Excellent, General. For the Homeland!"

[sistersofmercy]

11. Well that reminds me...

35. Know your dope fiend! Your life may depend on it!

You won't be able to see his eyes because of the "tea shades," but his knuckles will be white from inner tension, and his pants will be encrusted with semen from constantly jacking off when he can't find a rape victim!

36. Doctor L. Ron Bumquist - loved that touch

[thebigidea]

13. This one is pretty creepy

what's even creepier is that house. dozens of clocks everywhere. stereo ticking cacophony... your heartbeat tries to match the irregular rhythms, it ends up racing. acute discomfort is the result. I had to flee.

[Kool Kitty]

26. Oh my God. You amuse and

terrify me. Do you have something special planned for the firing of Rummy? A suitable tribute, something to do him proud?

[thebigidea]

28. I was actually thinking about this during the past week

What will I do when I lose my favorite fictional nemesis/foil? He's given me so much material, horror, and amusement over the years. Possibly have a good laugh for a very long time, then a tearful collage set to schmaltzy music.



we'll allllwwaaaays have theeeese known unknowns to reeeemember...

(fade out)

[Kool Kitty]

30. Ah, I knew I could count on you.

I have to admit that, in some perverse sort of way, I will miss him.

[thebigidea]

31. stocking stuffer alert!

A talking "Rummy" doll will come out next month from some horrible huckster company.

I will be forced to put it to perverted uses involving a similarly sized Wehrmacht soldier uniform.

[RuB]

37. Any pics of like this of Bush with a faint image of Satan behind him? eom

[thebigidea]

38. hmmm, not really

Satan seems almost loveable compared to these creeps. They trump any horror religion can devise.

[thebigidea]

39. there is a Satan of sorts...
