Raw Deal-1986
Arnold Schwarzenegger plays Mark Kaminsky, a former FBI agent who got kicked out of the agency because he ruffed up a suspect. He winds up being a sheriff of some podunk town in the middle of nowhere. In comes FBI chief Harry Shannon, whose son has been killed by a mobster, he enlists Kaminsky to go and enact revenge in his sons name. He also tells Kaminsky (Schwarzenegger) that if he takes out the mafia boss ( Patrovina ) he'll get his job back at the FBI. So Kaminsky goes undercover and join Patrivina's mob. Mayhem ensues, and he even drives a tow truck through a gambling operation, and kills everyone that gets in his way.  |

As I have continued to meditate upon my early experiences with video games I have noticed that all of these stills (that I haven't looked at for years) are not only tied to the video game itself, but also reveal a lot of my experience as a child. Sure, perhaps it would have been better if I would have been playing games with friends in my backyard, however when I see this image of joust I remember waking up early in the morning, my parents still asleep on a saturday morning, and removing the old antenna from the back of a black and white tv, and screwing in the co-axial adapter for my atari. Here I would play joust, before my morning ritual of cartoons had begun, the house still quiet, and the sun had still not yet risen. My tv was situated in front of a heating vent, and a green blanket was wrapped around my body. These were my first experiences into the realms of teleprescence. My first avatars. In this painting, I have painted in myself to represent the transcendence into the digital world. Sure, today video games may incorporate virtual reality, but back then, riding around on my ostrich seemed pretty real. |

So, the book is now available for sale, I had two concerts this weekend, and finally after finishing up all the preperations for the book "poems I wrote while watching tv" I m finally back to the blog with a new series based on my dreams and early video game technology. May 8th was the anniversary of my blog, and while I didn't make my goal of a painting every day, this last year I made 154 new paintings, drawings, and plushy sculptures. Last night I had a dream I was with a friend, and we were laughing maliciously about our plans to take over the world. I guess thats what I get for watching David Icke before going to sleep. Enjoy, and I hope this next year will bring more updates, and more paintings.
